John in Leeds Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Happy to play in Jaap's garden. Happy to go by his rules. When I have had enough there is no barbed wire keeping me from leaving. Just the way I like it. Link to comment
Guest Cantaloop Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I got this mail too... funny. I call Jaap by phone. Link to comment
DavidL Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well this email has gotten me to post on the forum more than I have in the past 6 months. I believe this forum is invaluable and would be a tragic loss if it were closed. Link to comment

Tom M Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I didn't get the email but there is a post from Jaap in the "Motha" section warning us that we're all on probation. I'd hate to see this fantastic site go away because Jaap is sick of the hassle of running it. Now might be a good time for some of you site regulars who aren't Goldmembers to step up to the plate and send Jaap a donation. It's been a year since I donated so I'm due again! Link to comment
Ballacraine Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It's been a year since I donated so I'm due again! Well, I would at least want an explanation first as to why I am being threatened by email. Nige. <_> Link to comment
macguzzi Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Jaap keep up the good work did'nt find your email threatning, don't suppose we could include guns in the ban. Link to comment
Ballacraine Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Jaap keep up the good work did'nt find your email threatning, don't suppose we could include guns in the ban. Last line of email: This is not an idle threat. Nige. Link to comment
V11crazed Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I got it this morning.....and I just joined a few weeks ago.... I thought geez, is it because I revived the "porn star name" thread last week.... I love this site...the info is invaluable and the folks have all been quite welcoming! Link to comment
Dan M Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes, I got it, too. I was very put out. As I told Jaap in my response, I don't think I've been impolite, political or in any other way counter to the spirit of this forum, but now I'm out. I'm too old to be told to behave myself. I really appreciate the help I've had from people on this forum and, despite what has happened, I'm grateful to Jaap and the other administrators for all their work on it. I have valued the companionship on the forum, too. Ride safe, guys. Bob I feel the same Bob. Told Jaap much the same in my response. You should reconsider though, I've always enjoyed your posts. Still miss the stories of the late Serge. It is a terrific forum but threats to all who have contributed and even donated? hmm... Link to comment
emry Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I emailed Jaap after I got the email. He responded that it was not directed towards me but that it was a general warning to all. I would seem somewhere a few members "pushed some buttons." It is unfortunate that a wonderful site such as this is in jeopardy of being turned off because of the actions of a few. Hopefully the intended targets of the mass email will take heed and move their inappropriate comments to the appropriate place. Else we all lose. I've been here since 02 and would like to stay.

Ballacraine Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 So is it a grenade response where a sniper rifle is needed? Some further explanation would be nice. Nige. <_> Link to comment
emry Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 That is my impression. I too would like a little clearification, perhaps Jaap will offer a follow-up since there has been so much confusion and concern. Link to comment
Guest Lostviking Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 So is it a grenade response where a sniper rifle is needed? Some further explanation would be nice. Nige. Yeah, I found it rather annoying. I registered last week because I'm thinking about a Guzzi and heard how great the Guzzi folk are. Today, I get this nasty email saying I'm on probation for 6 months and I haven't even posted yet. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. If you don't want to do it, Sell It, Close It, or Give it Away. Walt, Link to comment
