In posts #3 and #6 I specifically said I was not against having the video here, but that I did not like it. In post # 5, you quoted me saying that I did not have a problem with it being here, and that I did not like it. You said I did not need to like it, which is true. In posts 13, 15, 25, I did not mention having the video here at all, but generally spoke to filling the public's memory with negative images, instead of positive ones. In post 28, I actually thanked Bob for posting the video, saying that while I did not like it, several others did. Now you say I have made it clear I do not think it should be here. You go on to say that it should be here, and that way I can refute it if I like. I have to ask, what do you think I have been trying to do? I have been trying to say that I feel this is a bad thing. Not trying to say it is a thing we should avoid, or hide from, or not acknowledge, but that it is a bad thing, and bad for the betterment of our community. One of the first things I said about this was it would have to reside in the "to each their own" view. I maintain that is how I still feel.

Sorry if you misunderstood, Karl. My last post was posted somewhat quickly. I got the distinct impression that you personally did not appreciate these types of videos on SegwayChat. You are not saying what should or should not be posted, just that you do not personally like seeing videos like this. Did I get that wrong? That was the one thing I thought I was clear on. Oh well.

You call it rude I call it defending myself from self proclaimed experts like you that resort to personal attacks. When you "doubt" someone you are calling them a LIAR - F.Y.I. Second when you interpret incorrect facts as truth, by design you look like a fool by bloviating. I only reciprocate in kind when ignorant bully's like you and the other loud moth here project your insecurities on others. So if you feel better calling it RUDE, that's fine because being a narcissist I would expect as much. I own THREE Segways, and ride often. You want the serial number, then put up or shut up. I'll prove I have three segways if you put up your Segway as collateral if I Win? YA just as I thought, Big man on campus is SPEECHLESS. Some of your comments are so childish I won't even give them the credibility to answer them. Besides the next person in line needs to place an order so straiten your hat and ask them what they want on their burger. I love your ignorant rant about ALL RIDERS. Do a two second search on the web and you will see TRAILED POLICE OFFICERS falling down. What's that I hear now coming from you - cricket sounds. Now I'll take YOUR ORDER, do you want ice cream with your crow pie, for making ludicrous unfounded and false statements? Come on lets besmirch a TRAINED POLICE OFFICER and tell me how it's HIS FAULT, and not the poor design of a two wheeled vehicle. OH what is that all over your face EGG? Lastly, to prove I am 100% correct on the TWO WHEELED Segway being dangerous, SEGWAY is now designing a THREE WHEELED SEGWAY. Oh and for all the big mouths here that DOUBTED a salesperson told me something NEW was coming from SEGWAY - Put this in your pipe and smoke it. So that would be CHECK & MATE. http://www.segway.com/downloads/pdfs...T_3_6_2013.pdf |

The problem with these riders are, they just don't pay e bought attention.
Because of the Segways magicality, some people don't realise that you still have to watch out for obstacles, however I also observed people falling off from turns and bumps that wouldn't seem to be possible. I don't think the videos hurt Segways much. |

These segway fail videos are fun and all, but with a vacuum of positive images, and a glut of negative images, they give the segway ignorant public a very inaccurate impression of how dangerous segways are. Still, I do not think it is a major issue at all.
