Aught, now your true colors are showing. You don't want to discuss anything, you just want to say whatever you think will start an argument.
Takes two to argue there, spanky... And it seems to me that you're the one trying to start the arguement. But of course, I'm wrong about that and you're right, right?
You based your expectation on a few paragraphs that I had written in response to a thread in cyberspace. That would be a prime example of ignorance. How do you possibly expect to know what to expect from me when you know absolutely NOTHING about me?[/QUOTE]
I based my expectation on experience and it proved to be correct - look where we are now. And, Brown, I expected you to respond, and once again, you have. To this point you've exceeded my expectations, though my expectations for you were set very low.
You said that many more magazine articles would have the same outcome as this one.[/QUOTE]
Stop eating pills you find, Brown. I said that this is but one of many articles to come - never mentioned or predicted an outcome. Since the K12S is new, I'm sure it's going to get more than its share of press. I'm sure every magazine will want one for testing. I've also said repeatedly that time will tell.
I am not dressing you down either as a superior or subordinate, simply pointing out where you are wrong.[/QUOTE]
In order for you to point out where I'm wrong, you have to assume a position of rightness. In any event, if what you say is true, go ahead and tell me that I'm not inferior or a subordinate - I don't think you can. Prove me wrong.
I didn't ask why you sold your last bike, you brought that up all on your own, looking for sympathy. Pathetic.[/QUOTE]
You did ask - twice - what bike I rode. You even emphasized that I'd ignored your question the first time asked, which shows a driving desire on your part to know. You're the nosy one and I'm chided - three times now - for volunteering information. But, I did volunteer the information, so just keep on hammering me for it. I wouldn't expect less of you - and yes, at this point this is another expectation. And frankly I see you as the pathetic one for continuing to bring it up...
I agree that a better bike will come along, this just ain't it.[/QUOTE]
Once again, we'll just have to wait and see...
Why hasn't anyone won with a BMW during the TT races then?[/QUOTE]
It's a brand new model bike - give it time.
You won't wait and see, your mind is already made up.[/QUOTE]
I'll let you answer yourself:

Now you agree with me that an opinion can't be wrong?[/QUOTE]
No, just showing you the incredibly obvious internal inconsistency of your arguement. But you likely fail to grasp that as well.
Better handling is opinion based. Hence my statement about the K's only wins being based on opinion, not empirical testing.[/QUOTE]
So that article isn't the result of empirical data??
The opinions of the testers that the BMW is a better bike wouldn't be wrong, but they are stating "facts" they don't say"The BMW is better in my opinion........", they just proclaim it the victor.[/QUOTE]
I don't think we're reading the same article...
Yes, you criticize everyone.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, wrong yet again. I haven't met everyone...
I'm not pretentious... [/QUOTE]
Okay Brown, if you say so.
At this point I don't care what your opinions are, you are not worth dicussing anything with.[/QUOTE]
Yet you keep coming back. Why is that exactly?
I have not been critical of you, simply of the tone of your posts.[/QUOTE]
Again I'll let you answer yourself:

"Yes, you criticize everyone."
"At this point I don't care what your opinions are, you are not worth dicussing anything with."
"it seems you don't like to take what you so freely dish out."
"I do not need to be lectured to by some sympathy seeking pompous dunce, whose sole enjoyment in life seems to be inflicting his worthless anecdotes on people who didn't ask for them."
"I hope that one day you will realize how insignificant people such as yourself should really not dish out things which they are not capable of accepting in return."[/QUOTE]
And that's from just this one post.
I suppose that you are not accustomed to someone challenging you, it seems you don't like to take what you so freely dish out.[/QUOTE]
I'm challenged often - it's normally a growing experience. This isn't a 'challenge' Brown, it's a flogging.
Nothing you have written has hit home with me, nor shall I take anything to heart.[/QUOTE]
Stating the obvious...
This is an internet message board where people come to discuss topics of mutual interest, share experiences and debate differences.[/QUOTE]
Oh were that only true in this case.
I do not need to be lectured to by some sympathy seeking pompous dunce, whose sole enjoyment in life seems to be inflicting his worthless anecdotes on people who didn't ask for them.[/QUOTE]
What anecdotes have I shared in the course of this thread, other than in response to your accusations?
Go back to pontificating on topics about which you have no direct experience, I'll go ride my bike.[/QUOTE]
I've been riding for more than 30 years, Brown, and you??
And, I've ridden two of the three bikes in question, Brown, you??
I hope that one day you will realize how insignificant people such as yourself should really not dish out things which they are not capable of accepting in return. [/QUOTE]
I guess you've not taken these words - your words - to heart yet, Brown:
Originally posted by the one who likes to dispense advice to others that he doesn't apply to himself Believe whatever you like, I could not care less which bike you prefer, but do not attempt to disparage the opinions of others, simply because they don't think like you.
AND
Just because you think something doesn't mean that those of us who think differently are wrong, or less intelligent, it just means that we have differing opinions.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like good advice Brown... Can you keep it?
