IMO Drama is not a bad thing. It is only what you make of it. I make it humor for me :lmao: I have NEVER taken something said on these boards personal!!!! Only time I dont laugh is when someone gets banned for it!!!!

yes, yes it does. because i dont like being involved in a hobby/sport that is completely full of drama queens, whiners, and ass kissers
we all live in a society full of drama queens, whiners, and ass kissers.
....as long as there are humans, there will,at least be drama and whining.
as long as theres the internet, there will be ass kissing.

It's a tad off topic but I have to say I agree with KX454 about the Kawi thing. It gets sort of lame seeing a reply in every Kawi thread of "sell it and buy a superjet". Some of us like our Kawis and we don't want a superjet. I realize it's a joke but after seeing 1 out of every 5 posts in every kawi based thread, it gets... for lack of better words... aggrevating and degrading, and topping it off is that it's useless and un-origional.
I don't think pointing out a problem makes you a whiner. repeating it excessivly makes you a whiner. Saying there's too much drama and commenting on the insane amount of cynicisim (sp?) is not really whining. I think some people just believe that others will be more concious of their posting if a conflict is pointed out. The problem is that it's a loosing battle, because this is the internet, and if those people actually cared they wouldn't be doing it in the 1st place. So that leaves the conclusion... deal with it or move on. Some people ignore it, while others try to do something about it and A) move on or B) just accept it.
I think truely the productive thing for anyone to do is A) consider if their post is ligitimate or whining and do or don't post accordingly and B) consider if the poster's complaint is valid before calling them a whiner and do/don't post and change/ignore as appropiate. However, I must say, that I think the overwhelming people who are guilty of whining or instigting do it conciously and simple do not care, thus creating a loosing battle, one that hurts the forums we all enjoy visiting.
I am personally one of the people that just ignores the problem. I just don't think anything can be done about it so why try? There's several people I just skip their posts while reading. It's probably the best way to handle any forum, because that's just the way the internet is.

Hey Vumad,
point taken about the talking down about the kawasakis, I know I have advised people to NOT upgrade an older kawi, or skip it and buy a superjet.
but, I have had a kawasaki 750sx, and moved to superjet(s), so I was speaking from my own experience.
I understand your thought on that though, and I can see how it would eventually be like a slap in the face to those folks who enjoy riding them.
ive ridden Kx454s SXR, and it is BADASSS.
I dont recall ever telling anyone to move from an sxr to a superjet!
