I understand. Even one of the Cushman forums where I used to post got so bad I switched to another forum. There were posters there who thought it should be nothing but technical stuff relating to motorscooters and they got really miffed at anything else. Some of my favorite jokes involve motorscooters. The one where I post now doesn't get too wild, but you can say what you think, and I don't remember anybody getting mad. Scooter collectors are a mature bunch with an average age of at least 60.
