    This isn't corporations, this is about us as responsible off highway enthusiasts. I get there's bigger issues at hand but it takes education and responsible citizenship IYKWIM. Get out there and do what you have to but don't be part of the problem and justify it by corporate means. We're better than that as responsible enthusiasts!

    Don't justify your actions based on what corporations are doing simply
    It's not directed soley at you its a more systematic problem. I'm simply using your statement as an example.

    So you make me an example? Do you know what an apology is? You perhaps have something to say, but please don't make it look like I am part of the problem. I get it that you're the OP and a Mod and all that, but no, you don't get to insult people that you misunderstand.

    My point is, don't justify your actions based on other entities, be it corporate or individual. Be responsible, educate yourself on proper trail etiquette and travel off highway with dignity.

    If you see an issue you are concerned with, become educated on the matter, get involved and act accordingly.

    I've been on numerous trail clean ups, worked with the DNR and been involved in local and national campaigns to keep OHV trails open and available.

    All I'm asking is, we do our due diligence and our part.

    I'm gonna try and sort this out.

    I think you are confused and he wasn't justifying anything. It may have just come out that way. He was saying that we need to tread lightly because the earth is being raped.

    You agree with this.

    You were saying that corporations are not an excuse. He agrees. You were just expanding on his point. He thought you were mad at him.

    long story short, you agree with each other and this is a misunderstanding.

    You're taking it personal and you shouldn't. You bolded a comment I made because you assumed it was directed at you. It wasn't directed at you specifically, it was a general statement directed at the collective mentality of many off highway enthusiasts.

    As for an apology, I'll gladly accept.

    Yes, I bolded a comment you made to my quote. If one is not to assume that comments made to quotes are directed at that person, then this whole conversation is just silly. That you expect an apology from me is ludicrous. Surely you jest.

    @SixthSnail Good on ya.

    i quoted you as an example to a bigger problem as a whole and you seemed to have centered on yourself as the target. Not the case, as I was reiterating your statement as a collective to the OHV community.

    My second comment was directed at you as you seemed to have centered on it as being a personal attack against you.

    Yes, a lost in translation if you will. Don't take things personal.

    I get it. You're too big to apologize for your misunderstanding. Go back and read my post again, and the post I had quoted, then you'll understand. Maybe.
