"Papai Digital" wrote in message om... Trdina sez: A few months ago, continued exposure to Kunich's special brand of retardedness forced me to go back on my pledge never to kill file anyone. However, even after I've killfiled him, I still have to deal with his morbidly stupid drivel because others choose to respond to him, so I get to see what he says when I read their posts. Now, I'm hardly one to suggest that another Usenet denizen not respond to Tom. After all, your choice of who you waste your time bantering with is none of my business. However, I'd like to humbly request that people who respond to Tom's crap please insert the text "WARNING - I'm Responding To a Dip****" somewhere in the header of the post. Tom rides his bike and gives back to cycling in general probably a lot more than 90% of this group does. -Ken I recognize that this may take a bit more time, but by taking a moment before you post you'll be doing a great number of us here at RBR an invaluable service. Thanks for your cooperation! Hold My [SIERRA NEVADA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] Has Tom ever admitted to being wrong about anything? I think the biggest sticker with folks is that when he gets into a nasty knock down drag out subject, instead of admitting he's wrong, he just keep coming up with stuff taking the offensive instead of gracefully conceding. Is this pretty much the way it is? I don't have a problem with him, because he mostly just replies and doesn't post. He's a smart guy, but doesn't know when to quit, especially the helmet threads was the last straw for many. I would rather have Tom answer for himself. As for me, when I screw up I try to come back and admit. Not that many people in RBR do that; maybe I am just one of the dumbest then and screw up so often that my retractions neqarly equal my posts?!!! ;-) If I were RBR SR I would ask Tom and others: - NEVER start an off-topic post - then resist on following-up to an off-topic post - admit you're flawed, retract things every now and then, stuff like that. Some (long-standing) people on RBR have developed secret grudges against other (long standing) RBR posters. That crap is unfortunate -- some people are way too sensitive. I leave it all out here hanging, don't hide much of anything, and never have posted anonymously. Some people are too full of themselves too! ;-) Some people even change for the better; some people CAN learn. And then, there are the smart-ass crowd... I don't want to go on any further. Too much time wasted. Anyway, 1. Tom rides his bike a lot 2. Tom leads non-sissy group rides 3. Tom puts his $$ into cycling 4. Tom teaches kids cycling (if only he could teach himself racing!! ;-) (sorry Tom--couldn't resist) -Ken |

Dumbass - I've gotten him to admit he was wrong once, but that was only because I cited some extremely conservative think tanks that were against his position. I finally concluded there's nothing to be learned from interacting with someone who is that rigidly ideological. So I stopped. In my not so humble opinion, political discussion here is mostly a waste of time (not always though). K. Gringioni. |
