I am absolutely sure you all must have heard of this age old adage - 'United We Stand, Divided We Fall'. Well, what I'm about to write or share with you all is not really meant to be any preaching or anything. It is something that I, as an xBhpian feel. This is something which I have been noticing for quite a long time now.

At first I thought, perhaps, it is a passing phase and it will all be over in a certain period but I have been proved wrong time and again and how!

In quite a number of threads I have noticed that a sane, normal, naive topic suddenly turns into something like a bait for various members. And then, the inevitable happens - people start cribbing/ fighting/ arguing on some of the most useless things/ issues which perhaps don't even need to be looked at more than once!

I thought we all are here in this forum to share something, to learn something from each other in a subtle way. Ofcourse, arguments will be there in a public space where there are so many souls, but then I sincerely believe a healthy argument/ discussion is where the real learning happens. Not the childish/ juvenile way WE ALL have been behaving lately.

This is seriously disappointing. At times I've been bound to think what am I doing in between all these people who think "I am better" attitude is always better. This ego will take us nowhere. Believe me! There is a fine line between "ego" and "self-respect" and time and again, we have been crossing that line in some way or the other.

xBhp has always been about "WE" and not "I". Let us remain that way, for the times to come.

Thanks.

P.S: This is NOT a bloody moderator message or ANY kind of warning or something remotely related to that. Remember, I AM an xBhpian first, and then a moderator of this forum we all have come to know as our second home.

We have made enough of fools of ourselves. Now, let us get back to where we belong!

Cheers to us, cheers to motorcycling.
