Flaming Wheel is the alter ego/pseudonym under which the OP writes.

 

The story was completely fictional and the unintended backlash not expected on a purely fictional story. He has a  few more from Flaming Wheels life, but I doubt he'll be convinced to share here soon again.

 

Lesson: as a community we've become like a pack of rabid dogs at the scent of what we perceive as fact, although it was fiction and sometimes we just don't care, or do we?. In hind sight the poster wasn't given or asked to give an explanation because in a matter of posting it 10 minutes later it had more than 50 negative results and some serious insults and insinuations about him and how he conducts himself. We should be a lot less harsh in this space we live in.

 

For the record; I asked Admin to close the thread to allow me time to find the facts but also to stop what was transpiring in that short space of time.

 

It's a shame that we (me included) have become like this in this here space we all like to come to for a laugh, advice, encouragement and much more. Man we need to retool the way we go about dealing with people, especially first posters and the like.

 

So I end this update with a wish for kindness, tolerance and respect for each other.

 

EZ

 

There was no indication that it was a fictional story.

 

"I was only joking"

"It was fictional"

 

Very easy to say that when things go south

Well if someone tried to headbutt me in the parking lot, they are in line to get shot..... You see the ironic sarcasm. Violence is not the answer bud.

I agree. Well sort off...

You get the part of society that will only understand through "violence". Almost like we don't speak the same language.

Like a drunk oke in a club for example. At some point asking him nicely to stuff off is just not cutting it.

Drunk oke in a Club?! Somebody please call the elders! 

Seriously, it is like being amazed if somebody is a die-hard Blue Bulls fan when he stays in Pretoria-Noord. C'mon Man! 

 

Then just walk away....

Or just not visit "clubs"...

So we have ascertained the guy was making it all up, ie not real/never happened?

What kind of **** makes up a story like that in the first place and then posts it to give the impression that it's real, second I don't see the benign motives behind doing that. The guy was looking to stir trouble up and got what he deserved, ie hounded by the bikehub mob :D

An attention whore.

 

Far more difficult to deal with than a straight forward trail jock.
