Hello, everyone. I have followed this forum since 2016 when I saw a guy ride past me on a ninebot one e+ and fell in love with this sport/hobby/lifestyle of ours. Starting with the V8, I then moved on to a V10f (which was subsequently taken from me at gunpoint by 3 youths), then the MIGHTY 18XL, and now a V11. Like many of you, I currently have a deposit in on the S20. I say all of this to give you guys a little background on myself. I'm not new to electric unicycles, but I am, however, very new to posting on forums. I typically just lurk in the shadows, read opinions about Wheels, and gleen whatever information I can from other, better-informed people here. This is something I have enjoyed doing frequently over the past several years. The post I quoted did not sit well with me, so I was moved to speak up about it. I come here for information about the most exciting electric unicycle I've ever seen-not for 1950s era "jokes." There are many people from many different backgrounds reading this forum daily. Did you guys think it was funny, or did you cringe like I did? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys think it was funny, or did you cringe like I did? yeah, that was poor taste, but to my credit, I didnt really specify what colors and it was meant purely as a joke. I hoped noone would get in a twist over it, but of course people have. A warning for me has been issued for this. I will remove the post but obviously it has now been quoted so the 'harm' will continue. If you remove your quote (first post, welcome!) I'll remove all of this and noone in the future needs be offended by it. Or leave it up and we can move on. Yes, it was poor taste and off topic both, sometimes I do/say VERY stupid sh*t. I'll attempt to be more mindful of such comments in the future. Edited October 11, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadiechez Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Save your BS excuses and nonapology. You did not and cannot 'hurt' me. Stating that your post was in poor taste then proceeding to defend it, and even giving yourself CREDIT for not specifically mentioning the racial group you were attemting to demean is less than helpful. Contrary to your beliefs, this is not YOUR planet. We ALL share this planet. My apologies to everyone else for having derailed this thread. I will say no more to this person. I challenge braggarts and bullies in real life, and I guess now online as well. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see what you intend to accomplish by simply bringing MORE attention to a joke that was poor taste and obviously bothered you so much you decided to make your first posting over it. I offered to remove it. I recognize it was poor taste. I don't see what else you are looking for. Braggart and bully? It seems to me that perhaps Im the one being bullied. Its okay tho, I can take it I am thankful the mods at least moved this so it doesnt clutter the s20 thread, I agree the previous thread need not be marred by such nonsense. *fwiw, ShanesPlanet is just down the street from Waynes World. Not to be confused with ShanesWorld. Visits are by invitation only tho... Edited October 11, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UniMe Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 I read the initial comment as a diss towards the white trash a*s hats who occupy those type of jobs in the 'mid west'. In this way, I thought it was apt and even a bit funny. Different lens... but try it on, seems to fit lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still can’t read it with any racial discrediting other than that of his own.…. which I found funny as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
