Jim - thank you for all you do for this forum to keep it going. I do really value it and the community. I also see how some threads digress and lose civility and I don’t envy your role to manage that.
I don’t think Jan’s post was off topic or inappropriate though and I think the Blahg is evidence of this. Rivendell’s values and mission align with the BLM movement. There are years of systemic racism and sexism in bike culture and history that Grant highlighted this week and many times before, and I hope we can also continue to challenge this history wherever and whenever we can. I do think there is a level of white privilege to expect to come to this forum and not have to hear about what our neighbors face everyday just for being black or brown, or gay, or trans, etc and be confronted with what is happening in this world. I do think everyone should be expected to be civil to each other, be respectful and at times let the thread stop. Again thank you for all you do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
