Debating here whether to tell Ken to put a sock in it, apologise to Grant (if he’s still here) or just delete the last few posts.

just over 12mnths ago he flounced threatening to leave the forum but came back stating he would come back but be hardly posting. I bet he must
have done well over 1000 posts since.
I have been doing the CBX550 over winter and its nearly finished but he and his attitude is the reason I rarely post now and there will be no pics of
the CBX on this forum.
I know for a fact others that no longer bother with this forum for the same reason.

In defence of Ken yes sometimes he might be a little direct if he sees things that are not correct but at least he goes on to say why. He does not say stuff like "I've never had that problem" and offer no solution.
I'm a grown man not a Snowflake so I accept his comments as they are based on solid experience of the 500 models. There is not a bad bone in his body imho when he posts replies.
I have PM'd him many times when I have had issues on my 500 build progresses receiving positive helpful replies fully explaining any ancillary questions I ask.
I for one did not want Ken to leave when he was having issues I am very grateful that he listened to other members and stayed.
This sohc forum is a fantastic site made up of a very diverse & experienced members we should allow for any individual idiosyncrasis.

I was speaking for me "I'm a grown man" 6ft 1 in tall, 76 years of age, Snowflake I understand is the modern term for folk who easily take offence.
I am pretty thick skinned having worked for 27 years in Policing dealing with difficult people in stressful situations often at the worst end of humanity. I later worked for 5 years in the customer complaints section of a Mercedes Dealership collecting vehicles that fell well short perfection. The impact of my working life has moved me well away from easily being offended to being probably unusually tolerant or even stoic.
If I received what I perceived as unfair comments about my bike I would try to understand the view given, I might answer back seeking clarification or evidence. I might end up respectfully agreeing to disagree. At the end of the day were often seeking advice - one does not have to accept or take it.
