I'd say the reaction she got in JM was fairly mild compared to the reaction she'd get if she walked into a club house and started spouting stupid shit (phrase taken from my girlfriend verbally commenting on her videos). I have no sympathy for her, she's trying to pretend she's some badass 1% Harley chick but gets sand in her vagina over comments posted on a sport bike forum? ( her words) She goes and posts instructional videos that could get people maimed or killed, and when this is pointed out to her goes all PMS? Some of the people here were trying to point this out, many of them cruiser riders but she ignored and insulted them.

Nope, she got off easy.

It is very important to note that her first post was not in JM- she chose to make her first post in, of all places, battle scooters.

The mods quickly punted it to JM and it spun off at least two threads into HE before the ban hammer fell on her.

She may be a nice person, but she's either shockingly naive about the day to day workings of teh interwebs, or cunningly aware of them and using this little ruckus (obligatory link to battle scooters) to drive up hit count (thus advertising revenue) on her own site. Possibly both, she was clueless about what really happened but has grabbed the tiger by it's tail.

The best thing that you can do at this point is simply forget about it and get back to what this thread is really about.

Um. What is this thread about again?

Not technically on the Dragon, but pretty close, as in Tabcat Bridge.

Nah, what he missed, was the edge of the pull off, and it's a BIG pulloff!
