Ed Dolan the Great is Fed Up!

ED admonished me:

You must delete "the Great" from your signature. These freaking cycling
newsgroups are not capable of absorbing more than one Great One. Besides, I
am also a Great Saint known far and wide as Saint Edward the Great. So far,
no one else has disputed my claim to Great Holiness. I think it is because
no one else wants to be poor, chaste and humble like ME!

My greatness is seated in my lack of exceptionality - I am neither rich
nor poor, chaste nor impure, humble nor full of hubris (like yourself).
This, then is my greatness, my adherence to pure mediocrity in all
things!

Ed, in order to truly achieve sainthood (as I didn't see you on the
list), you must shed your hubris like a lizard sheds its skin. You
cannot attain sainthood without total submission to *The Wheel*,
including giving up your foolish belief in your greatness. I will
attend to your achievement of said goal by being your shepherd in this.


I am now your best friend! I used to be Sornson's, but I tire of him.
You, on the other hand, represent a true challenge, put to me by *The
Wheel*! I am here for you, always! Let us begin your journey as
brothers in spirit!

So why not use your real name? Hiding something?

Your passport reads Ed Dolan the Great???

My real name is in my address heading. My signature is there to amuse
fools like you.

not using your real name -- lack of confidence.

EVERYONE is unexceptional and mediocre. I thought that was common knowledge.
Some few men do have exceptional talents in one area or another, but over
all, all men are common. Yes, even the Great Beethoven was quite common in
all essential elements. He was just another human being, no more and no
less. Einstein too!

Obedience is the one vow I can never take which is why I can never truly be
a Saint in the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the one and only true religion.
But other than that, I am a thousand times better than the common run of
humanity. I urge you to go back on this forum and read someone like Slugger
to know what I am talking about. Slugger was truly common without a trace of
any redeeming value. These newsgroups are chock full of characters like
Slugger. My type is actually quite rare.

That would be Sorni? Hells Bells, there is no one on RBM who is worthy of
me. They post their freaking one-liners like they are pregnant with wisdom
when all they are pregnant with is ****. I used to think ARBR was the
dumbest possible newsgroup in the universe, but I now think that ARBR is a
paragon of virtue compared to RBM. Every time I think of RBM, I think of
Bill Baka. Ugh!

PS. So, you are from Wisconsin? It is the greatest state of all for cycling.
Your bike trails are not as good as those in Minnesota, but your back roads
are ideal for cycling. I do not believe there is a better state in the
country for cycle touring. Even Greg LeMond agrees with me about this. He
thinks only Switzerland is better than Wisconsin, but screw those g.d.
mountains. Anyone who likes to bike in the mountains is a nut case - and
probably a liberal to boot.

PS2. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

What are you talking about? I use my real name all the time - over and over
in every message. I am Ed Dolan and my full name is Edward Dolan. Both names
are there for all the world to see in my every post.

I use my name because I stand by everything I say. I do not say things that
the anonymous slobs and cretins say and then run and hide like they do. I do
not hide behind user names either. If you want to be hidden, why not get
thee to a graveyard and die. The cemeteries are full of anonymous souls whom
no one knows. That is not for me. I want to be known. I am proud of my name
and I want to shove it down every possible throat in the known universe.

I find it impossible to treat those who do not use their real names with
anything but contempt. I truly do not understand why anyone would want to
hide their name unless they are engaged in criminal activity. Our names are
who we are. God, it just boggles my mind that someone would want to be
anonymous - nothing but a cipher, a ghost, a phantom. Screw that! I am Ed
Dolan the Great and I want all you cretins to know it!

ALL TOP POSTERS ARE IDIOTS!

But more than that, Flabby does not even included any of the previous
message to which he is responding. You do not get any more idiotic than
that!

Ed, shut the **** up.

It has been a long time since I have heard the words "shut up". We used to
yell that at one another all the time when we were kids. However, Flabby is
ever into wanking, so of course he had to include the f*** word. I urge
Flabby to stop with all the wanking. He is going to go blind for sure if he
doesn't reform.

I would advise all and sundry that virtue is much more fun than vice. Once
you have attained Greatness and Holiness like ME you will have realized how
you have wasted your lives pursuing such negligible things as wanking.
Flabby needs to raise his eyes slightly so as to spend more time
contemplating his navel and less time contemplating his penis.

If you want him to "Shut the **** up", stop telling him to shut the ****
up. Even this simple tidbit of post is going to generate the usual rants
such as "All top posters are idiots", etc. It is the last I'll say on the
topic.

Ed, shut the **** up.

It greatly amuses someone as Great as I am that Jeff Grippe would take
direction from a midget and a dwarf like Flabby (Jack Maars) rather than
from ME. Is this because Jeff Grippe is also a midget and a dwarf?

Flabby was a very minor troll that ARBR had to put up with for a few years.
He delighted in tweaking recumbent riders at how slow we were compared to
upright racers like him. God, you have no idea how tiresome it got, but
still Flabby was harmless and it was all done in good fun. Tom Sherman used
to love to tweak him back, but that is because Mr. Sherman had a very
juvenile sense of humor himself.

Needless to say, when the Great Ed Dolan came along all such frivolity came
to a screeching halt. That is because the Great Ed Dolan is a very serious
person indeed and HE will brook no nonsense whatsoever. I am never in the
least bit humorous. I spend all my time thinking on misery and death and I
want everyone else to be similarly inclined. Why should others be happy when
I am not?

HEADward,

Why are these cycling newsgroups so worthless? Or is all of Usenet
worthless?

Well, you are at least quoting me, but there is still something messed up
with your formatting. I do not understand why someone who is sophisticated
with computers does not use a proper newsreader. Why are you continuing to
use the Google website? Do you not have OE on your computer?

Because I like to do to you what you do to others ... aggravate and
I've told you that before.

... Just the ones where you make your unwelcome presence known.
Usenet newsgroups are the showcase for your unharnessed, unruly ego run
amok. Usenet newsgroups have become the repository for your
regurgitated, monotonous mantra ... your tiresome inane dogma. Your
very presence tends to diminish the value of any newsgroup.

Yawn!

Snappy comeback ... brain dead.

I have never yet encountered a newsgroup that was worth the
powder to blow it up. If any of you know of any newsgroups that might
be
worthy of the Great Ed Dolan, please let me know. I am going crazy with
all
the idiots, morons and imbeciles of these cycling newsgroups.

... Let's employ your own reasoning, shall we. You said, "It takes a
bit of intelligence to find intelligence". If we accept your premise,
then it logically follows since you have never encountered intelligence
in a newsgroup, then you are simply lacking the intelligence to
recognize intelligence when you encounter it. Bravo Ed!

Nope! I have already explained that I am too lazy to do any of the leg work
involved. Besides, I despair of there ever being any such thing as an
intelligent newsgroup. The format itself is against it. You simply must have
a moderator or else all you get is bedlam.

Is this the same Ed Dolan who has trashed moderated forums again and
again? The conundrum continues.

I need a newsgroup that reeks of intelligence - something that can
engage my
mind.

... And we need a newsgroup devoid of your presence. Why don't you go
play in traffic, since you have been entertaining thoughts of suicide
as of late?

I am sick and tired of expending nothing but invective on my inferiors
who are not worthy of me.

... Then give it up, as we are sick entire of your prosaic, repetitious
bull****.

Yea, I am Great, but surely there are others in
this world of Usenet who are up to my Greatness.

... Megalomaniac, I thought you've said that no one was your
intellectual equal. Whereas many would disagree, we would be willing for you
to delude yourself into thinking so and encourage you to leave us the
"unworthy" to our own devices.

Yawn! JimmyMac is the only person I know who can go on and on and never say
anything. It actually takes talent to be able to do this sort of thing. He
is almost worthy of me, but not quite.

If you had a reading level beyon 6th grade, perhaps you would be able
to comprehend what is being written.

I do not want a newsgroup full of kooks

... I think you just read your cue card. Good-bye.

, even though they may all have
genius IQs'. I do not like crazies. I want substantial men of the world
who
know how to discuss things intelligently.

... Notice how the closet queen excluded the fairer sex.

There are no women on any these cycling newsgroups except for a couple of
mindless kooks. I wonder where Claire is off to this weekend?

I am sick and tired of the kind of
children you find on cycling newsgroups. Wouldn't you like to be rid of
me
so you could go back to your childish babble uninterrupted by any
glimmers
of intelligence?

... Did Ed Dolan just call for a vote?

Of course you would. Children only like to be with other
children. So find me a newsgroup that is worthy of my Greatness.

And gobbledygook to you too!

Another snappy comeback. I can't bear it. Where does he come up with
such witticisms?

Aggravate me all you want, but do it in the correct format. After all, there
are other readers to consider, not just yourself. How is it possible to get
so selfish?

I have never posted to a moderated forum and I read damn few of them. Yet, I
know what works and what doesn't work. An unmoderated forum does not work.
Ed Gin proved that to me several years ago. An unmoderated forum like ARBR
and RBM is nothing but the devil's playground. The sooner everyone learns
this, the better.

I have already told you many times that I am not into wit. I am only into
the broadest type of parody. All you need is a kindergarten education to

Nay, one name is not enough for One so Great as Myself. Many variants are
called for, depending on the situation I am addressing. I could never live
with a name so insignificant as just plain 'Mark.' I am not small enough for
that.
