I'm not going to click on that, but you can tone it down considerably. This
is reasonable in a cycling news group, but borders on the edges somewhat.


You can kiss my ass.

I'm curious why he thinks that clip "borders on the edges somewhat." It must have
been the 3 or 4 seconds of the girl in a skirt doing a wiggly sort of dance. Ooooh!
Shameful!

Pavlov is alive and well and posts to rbr.

Why is it that the editors of Cyclingnews don't seem able to actually edit?

Spelling and misused words and completely incorrect sentences are quite
common. And most of them have to be pretty bad if I notice them since I am
attuned to Internet-ese and tend to overlook spelling, punctuation, and
structural errors because they're so common on the groups.

But just read this:http://www.cyclingnews.com/features....8/bobbyjulich_...

Bobby Julich is certainly someone whose point of view will be of interest..
So how is it that there are so many errors in his article? Can Cyclingnews
really believe that they can publish an author's submission without
editorial inspection? Or is it that the editorial staff don't know how to
write?

I dunno, I kind of liked the article, and I found a couple of awkward
(okay pretty awkward) sentences here and there. But being a writer
myself, and an editor for many years, I didn't see the errors. Maybe
because I read it too quickly. Can you point them out? Overall
however, I liked the entire blog, and found its points on listening to
your body very helpful: it confirmed my own observations about when I
should not go out.

Why do you keep doing this **** in a public cycling forum which have
lurkers
of men, women, and young adults who are by in large at least
reasonably
decent and respectable?

I have a pretty good idea why people post links like that, Bruce. I'd
say it's
pretty much because of the "Ewww! Icky!" reaction they get from you.
Which
sort of makes it seem like you get dressed in the dark so you don't
have to,
you know, see things. If you know what I mean.

Nonsense. Anyone who posts shock value **** in a cycling forum is
deranged.

Now *that* is nonsense. Some people like to see the reactions of
others - your
reactions to those stimuli are predictable and rather amusing. Sad but
true...

And those people are obviously deranged as well.

That's because someone went in and edited it after I started this thread.

Oh, ok. I looked late too, and it didn't look so bad! Wondered what was up
with that!

There were a lot of mis-spellings and incomplete sentences and the like.
What you'd expect from a racer like Bobby who was just trying to write
articles. That's why you have editors. They're the one's expected to have a
degree or at least a lot of knowledge of English and writing techniques.
