    So if I wrote your name on a rock and post it on IG would you host trail clean ups to try and right your name and cred?
    Dude didn't do anything wrong because someone dumb kid tagged his logo on a rock he gets publicity shamed and the sheep of social media believe the fake news.
    Not that I care about him but dont be a sheep.

    I know it's only because I have a larger gas tank and not that I'm getting better fuel economy but this just makes me so happy. Only 2 days to and from work! 20190606_164517.jpg

    Also missing my old commute twin but I did get thrown dueces by another shiney MC so at least I know I'm still looking good :taco:

    Are you f'n kidding me? He posted his useless logo in and amongst cave paintings that pre-date recorded history, genius.

    He nearly got public access closed to a culturally significant site.

    He caused an extremely bad public relations fiasco for other businesses affiliated with him. (I.E. CBI Offroad, and others)

    And he gave an avenue for those who do not like the off road community an example to point to, to show, yet another example of irresponsible behavior. (and it's especially great that he "represents" "us" by flaunting Tacoma in his business name)

    All for the sake of likes on Instagram.

    And to top it off... it's my understanding the business has been garbage, from a standpoint of customer service and shipping... before, during, and since that episode.

    Man, i must be living under a rock. Fortunately Google told me about the TacomaBeast story:

    https://www.outsideonline.com/2391788/tacoma-utah-vandalism-tacomabeast

    I missed the TW thread. Anyway, just from reading in here I immediately thought about the land in Utah taken out of protection by the federal gov't about 1.5 years ago. I'll accept varying attitudes about the role of government in general, but if there's one thing our federales do well in this country, on shoestring budgets mind you, is protect land. Remove BLM and Forrestry protections and this is what we get. I am not certain TacomaBitch violated formerly protected land but in general I think we should support federal efforts to keep our shit clean. They really do a good job. Sorry for being mildly political but my message is we can't let protections slip even though they are a nusance for law abiding decent folk.

    Forgiveness is what lets you move forward in life (when it has to do with those you care about). It's what lifts the burden for you and allows you to move forward and heal.

    Agree... 1000%

    Thing is... I don't care about a douchebag "brand ambassador" on Instagram that makes his living off of people clicking a little heart or follow button... or by adding his markup to items that other people make.

    I am 100% happy moving through life looking at that logo the way I do :thumbsup:

    Forgiveness is important. But getting caught, apologizing, and actions to demonstrate reconciliation take time. Forgiveness is not automatic.

    That guy pooched not just artifacts but an entire community and like I said, it's gonna take awhile for any forgiveness.
