I understand RW wanting to shut his thread down, and Mike has the choice not to show tact in how that was done. As contentious as it may seem to our fellow ex British colony brothers, Cuz had become an unlikely community of decidedly unlike minded people. To suggest we can find other places on the internet to air our differences shows either profound ignorance, or total disregard for what Cuz means to the members who occupied it.

 

There is a fine line between passion and aggression, and we all know that line was crossed more than a few times. Lets face it though, we all came to Cuz with our own political opinion and agenda, including RW and Mike, so it's actually astonishing it didn't implode inside of a week. I believe the glue that held it together was our shared love Datsuns. As big a dick I thought someone was for talking shit about this issue or that, I knew he couldn't be all bad because he had a Dat, and usually a build thread to go with it. I'm active on other political forums, but they're either like minded people preaching to each other, or it's a total mess. As F'ed up as our media is, it's no surprise our country is divided. I defy anyone to show me any site where this level of difference can coexist and debate current political events. In all reality, we've invested a great deal of trust in each other to be able to do that. More important, I think what's happening on Cuz is exactly what this country needs.

 

Again, if Mike and RW feel it needs to be shut down, that's their decision and I'll live with it. I don't give a shit if Ratsun isn't a democracy though, shutting down the most active thread on your site without notice or explanation isn't strong or honorable, it's weak sauce.

Nobody but me asked for Cuz to be shutdown Ron..

 

Pm me and I’m happy to provide my reasons; please leave Mike out of the equation; despite my (at times) publically and private dislike of some of his decisions, he’s acted with integrity, pragmatism, and a sense of doing the right thing, and I fully support his actions to honour, what was from me, a very humble and heartfelt request.

 

If people are that bummed out about Cuz being locked, start your own similar thread!

 

I’m always happy to discuss things via pm.

 

Regards to all.

What the fuck happened to this place? Shit posting used to be mostly insomniacs political or not, the trolling was wide open and found everywhere, most didn't get all butthurt and ask for a thread to be locked or for someone to be banned.

 

Y'all are getting soft.

No, politics and sometimes religion were very limited, if you remember. Insomniacs was otherwise fairly open to trolling. Don't forget there have been about 4? previous Insomniacs since 2006.  One was accidentally erased when a mod tried to move it or make a correction. gato started the latest incarnation. The others imploded into black holes when their Chandrasekhar limit as exceeded.
