Re: [ST] Damning Triumph with faint praise?

Mitch:

Didn't you just contradict yourself by attacking me for expressing my
personal opinion?  By the way, why did you cut out the quotes from Paul
about how boring (like an "appliance") Triumph, Sprint ST's and this list
are?  Did you read my subject line above?

Hey, if you are okay with sitting by and being told Triumph, Sprint ST's and
this list are boring, fine.  I'm not.

Maybe Paul's right.  Maybe this list is boring.  Maybe the Sprint ST is
boring.  Hell, I don't even own a Sprint ST and I was sticking up for it.

I have notice a strange thing here.  There is more concerned about "Harley
bashing" then there is about Triumph bashing.  Personally, I don't want to
read about Harleys, Buells, or, even Aprillas on this list.  Nor do I really
want to read about  Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, or Kawasakis.  When there is a
discussion about a non-Triumph motorcycle, I either read it or delete it.  I
don't usually comment either way.

HOWEVER, I am tired of seeing several on this list get offended when someone
even mentions Harleys (or any other brand) in a less than flattering light
but have no problem with someone calling Triumph motorcycles, Sprint ST's
and this discussion list boring.  Mitch, if you want to water down this list
fine.  If you had thought about it, it is your attitude that contributes to
what Paul seems to be complaining about, a boring list.  I am a fervent
supporter of Triumph, yet you attack me.  Paul is calling your motorcycle
and this list boring and you support that as "personal opinion".  If your
point of view is that of the majority on this list, I'll stick to the T-5
list.
