The really robust forums are in Europe, not here. bite me you ****ing bitch. then why don't you discuss cycling on the "serious euro forums" ? what you probably consider "serious cycling discussion" (ie. who will win X race, who is the best sprinter, campy vs. shimano, yadda yadda) is considered lame and tired and has been hashed and rehashed over the years for 99% for people who've been following cycling for 5 or 10 years. it's only when something weird happens (like mattan's GW win or basso's collapse) is there anything interesting to discuss. |

Bruce, FWIW, I find many of the people in rbr to be very witty and entertaining. Admittedly I've not (yet) been on the receiving end of any particularly caustic barbs, but I'd like to think my skin is thick enough that I wouldn't care. Plus, thanks to rbr, I've learned many new big words; I've learned about interesting foods--I can't wait to try the Andouillette in France this summer!; I've found cool race videos courtesy of Mr. Racket; and many other things I'm too tired to think of right now. Oh yeah, one more, just yesterday I got email out of the blue from a guy I raced with 25 years ago because he googled himself and found something I had written on rbr mentioning him. How cool is that!?! Anyway, IMHO, I think you have two misconceptions: (1) there are no "rulers" of a newsgroup and if anyone feels that there are, then they need to reevaluate their own perceptions; and (2) normal social-interaction etiquette doesn't apply and there really is no reason it should. FWIW. Mark I'd like to add that there is no set time limit that anyone should observe when being in here. "Time to move on" just doesn't apply. -- tanx, Howard Butter is love. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

Sheeze, I thought you moved on as well. I'll check back in a few years and see how many of these guys are still feeding their habit. Yes that's right, I've been venting some, so what, since I don't hang here much anymore, I will have my say in this thread. Let's move on. Bye, bye. B- http://www.rpi.edu/~markhn/sounds/getout.wav That was bye, bye, to Heather. I will leave when this thread is over, not a minute sooner. It will be over as soon as you stop whining............. That's deep. At least everyone knows who I am, unlike you who hides behind a fake handle. You are the only one in this thread I don't know because you hide behind a fake handle. Talkin to strangers, so that makes your request very low on the totem pole. What a baby..... I remember when you first came here. You trying to say it was not cut throat then?? I here Art Bell calling you.. "BEAM ME UP!" Again, that's deep fake handle. I don't have many words for strangers who like to hide their antics behind a fake name. |

I am simply having my say on the way out. Enjoy the summer. |

"Steven L. Sheffield" wrote in message ... On 06/11/2005 05:03 PM, in article , I just love it when people make a big deal about leaving ... and then continue to post. If you're leaving, then leave ... just stop posting and go away ... otherwise you come off as just another whiny sack-of-****. Oooh ... and now I'll bet that I get an invite from stalker Bruce to join the Kunich club as well! You love it because you are one of the biggest assholes in this group too, if not the biggest. Notice mostly it's the dirtbags that are speaking out now. I knew they would pop up sooner or later. I would like to expose all of them if I could before I leave. Why not, I had to listen to their crap for years here. Do you have a reading disorder, I said I would leave for good when this thread is over, which it will be when you guys stop posting. Stop feeding it and I will leave. Othewise, I will have my say in this thread. For the record many support me speaking out, just not publicly. I'm not running a popularity contest. I won't be back, ever, mark my words, but at least I got a chance to speak out against the dirtbags before I left. |
