Please post the instances where I instigated an off-topic flame war.



How about the thread titled "OT: Flame War"


Provide the link. The recent thread " OT Flame War" was started by
"Group Moderator".

I may have renamed one or more threads "OT Flame War", but those had
already gone off-topic in other people's postings.

And I did not come to this newsgroup just to bash a commercial
competitor, unlike several whom migrated over from the security system
newsgroups just to flame Robert Bass and/or Mark Leuck.

I imagine Ed is referring to the Bike Florida 2004 article you wrote for
Bentrider Online. As I recall, you mentioned admiring some southern
women... even being smitten. But I don't remember a group picture with
you
surrounded by a group of women. I'm just assuming Ed made a leap from
what
you wrote in the article to what he is stating in ARBR.

Yes, but it's an unwarranted leap - from discussing attractive women to
being accused of being in pictures surrounded by young girls. The pictures
do not exist. And, alas, being surrounded by young girls - it just did not
happen. But that doesn't stop Ed Dolan from accusing me of some sort of
activities involving "young girls half my age", followed by more
name-calling and accusations.
He reads a column in which I did not say anything about being surrounded
by young girls, a column in which there were no pictures of me surrounded
by young girls.
So, it's easy to figure out why he made such a leap. And the funny thing
is, the picture that *he* didn't come up with, but it's the one he
remembers, you bet, wasn't even from the Bike Florida column.
But I will admit, again, that I am attracted to southern women - just as
I said in the column. But not exclusively, of course - there are plenty of
attractive women from outside the south. But I'm already signed up for
Bike Florida 2005.


I saw several pictures of an old demented looking evil Santa Claus (that's
you) in the company of sweet virgin girls who looked like angels and then I
read some comments of yours elsewhere about what you think of such
creatures. I do not need text to go with pictures.I can put two and two
together and draw some conclusions about your character rather easily. So
can everyone else here.

If you had the brains you were born with, you would just have admitted that
you are a crazy old coot and that you like to look at young girls. And then
you would ask ... who doesn't? But I have got you so flustered you don't
know whether you are coming or going. If you had a sense of humor you would
have known how to handle this, but like all liberals, you have no sense of
humor and you take yourself seriously. Many thanks Varney for the good
laugh! Now I know who I can always go to in order to lighten my mood for the
day.

I remember that article now. I think it was a ride in Georgia where you
characterized southern men as smirking morons.

You didn't say so, but I'm guessing you were only referring to the white
ones. You wouldn't refer to black southern males as smirking morons would
you?


No way Skip! Then he would be a racist and a bigot, the one thing he would
rather die than admit to. Political correctness is everything in the mind of
a liberal. Those Kentucky hill-billies are known world wide for their
tolerance and acceptance of diversity. They thrive on differences, unlike
everyone else in the known universe. It is one thing to disparage your own
kind (America haters and self haters are one and the same - all liberals),
but God help you if you ever say anything against others who are not like
you, most especially if they have a black skin.

I once did Bike Florida several years ago. It is a good ride and not too
strenuous. However, now that I know Varney is doing that ride, I shall stay
as far away from it as I can get.

The point Mr. Butler is trying to make here is ridiculous. I hope for his
sake he is just being a troll like Mr. Dolan, and is not that stupid.


We are all of us stupid in our own individual ways, even Mr. Sherman. But
Perry Butler is in a class of his own. He lacks perspective and has
absolutely no sense of humor. The very worst thing he does though is that he
takes himself dead serious. His long boring story about his homo friends is
just too ridiculous for comment. A Minnesota rube is almost as dumb as a
Kentucky rube.

To judge by his recent postings, Mr. Butler has a lot more in common with
Mr. Dolan than he would like to admit.



Oh, I know how much I have in common with Ed, but I don't have near as
much in common with Ed as you!
Neither you nor Ed truly understand Usenet and what it is for.


Just what the hell is Usenet for?

Neither you nor Ed understand what ARBR is for.


Just what the hell is ARBR for?

Both you and Ed disgust most people here.


All men are disgusting. Have you seen a picture of Larry Varney?

Both you and Ed have driven many people away who want to discuss
recumbents.


It is impossible to drive anyone away from ARBR. If it were, you would be
long gone from here by now.

Both you and Ed think all others have to do is turn on their filter.


I do not have the faintest idea what a filter even is. I take on one and
all, even fools like Perry Butler.

Both you and Ed think all others have to do is ignore you.


I have been ignoring most people on this earth all of my life. What is the
problem?

Both you and Ed are in denial and display tendencies that you are
..................


I have never denied for one moment that Perry Butler is a ****ing idiot.
Hells Bells! He is the one with all the friends and roommates who turned out
to be homos. Why were these types hanging around him in the first place I
wonder? Anyone else wonder about this besides me?

While I have vehement disagreements over several fundamental issues with
Mr. Dolan, I would much rather sit down with him to have a conversation
than with someone who has nothing better to do than put out childish
allegations such as Mr. Butler.

I am perfectly willing to let the matter drop here, but if you want to
annoy everyone else on alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent with a "****ing
contest" I can oblige.



I annoy 1/1000 as many as you Tom! Actually, from the private e-mail
I'm getting they are annoyed with you.

You are second only to Ed in "****ing" contests.


But I am so talented at it.


Perry Butler is right about me. There is no one on this group who can ****
further than me. Unfortunately, in real life, my enlarged prostate seems to
have permanently screwed up my bladder, so my ****ing in reality can't
compare to my ****ing on this newsgroup.

If these people are so upset, why don't they say anything? Other than Earl
(who I can respect for publicly stating his opinion), I have only received
positive feedback.


Tom, do you think anyone in this world is sending e-mails to Perry Butler?
He makes up things like this all the time because he wants everyone here to
think he is an OK guy, but we both know now (along with everyone else on the
group) that he is what he is - a jerk!

And if Mr. Butler is not trying to start a flame war, why does he bring
false accusations of gender preference? Pot calling the kettle black,
indeed.

[1] Note that I have corrected Mr. Butler's top posting.



Yes, we all know how anal-retentive you are!


Don't you know Freud's theories have been largely discredited?


Anal-retentive is one of his favorite word formulas. The other is ... get a
clue. Like he ever had one in his life!

Tom, I wonder why you are so frustrated that you have to take over
ARBR. Aren't you intelligent enough to move to a political Usenet
group or do they eat you alive? If you're going to answer any
question, at least completely answer this one!


I get plenty of right-wing opinion and policy pushed on me in real life. I
finally got fed up with seeing it here and decided to fire back.


My exact same answer too except coming from the opposite direction. Mr.
Sherman should have gone into the groves of academe where everyone there is
a liberal and all they ever read is the g.d. New York Times.

And I just gotta ask - why two Visions? Are they dissimilar enough to
warrant having two of them?

Actually, if that's what you remember, it's not what I wrote. I don't recall
ever participating in a ride in Georgia. Sure, the Florida Bicycle Safari does
have a loop one day that takes in a small portion of southern Georgia - up
around Quitman. But I did not characterize southern men, white, black, or any
other color, as smirking morons, not in that article nor any other.
Maybe it was the article where there were pictures showing me surrounded by
young girls?

You put two and two together, Dolan, and come up with five. You do not need
actual evidence to support anything you say - and then you don't support what
you say, anyway! You can claim that you've seen whatever you want, but the
truth is that they don't exist. Period. And of course you don't need text to go
with those pictures.

If you had the brains you were born with, you would just have admitted that
you are a crazy old coot and that you like to look at young girls. And then

Flustered? Nope. It's you that continues to throw dust in the air, make wild
accusations, engage in character assassination and hurl vulgarities like a
mentally deficient five-year-old caught in a lie. All I've done is point out
that yes, once again, Dolan is a vulgar, crude, pathetic liar. If this
lightens your mood, perhaps you do need to seek professional help.

This newgroup along with the HPV list and the Bacchetta list are the
most important cycling information hubs in the world. Great
entertainment reading the posts on these sites to find out what is
happening with all the *F*at *O*ld *G*eezer*s* that ride very slow
recumbents.

Cheers,

Rule Number One: The stoker never errs. Rule Number Two: The stoker is
always right. Rule Number Three: When in doubt, see Rule Number One. If
you get to Rule Number Four: All disagreements are due to the Captain's
poor communication.
