I think if you can complete "that cyclist is not as good a cyclist as I am because ..." then they are a Fred.

By the way Maghon...I had no clue you liked flowers. You were called a botanist this morning by someone. Not sure that it was a compliment though. "Someone decided to play botanist for a fragile forum flower and quoted the comment about my eating onion rings to show I'm an evil person, or something." and of course, we can all guess who was the "fragile forum flower" he was referring to. The fact is, I didnt ask you to start this thread. Bless his heart!

I saw that too and have since responded as it was about me. I have no idea why he has such an issue with you but I find it very strange and somewhat disturbing.

I'm 100% ready to let sleeping dogs lie but I certainly wont sit by while history is reinvented and facts are stretched about this topic in other threads.

My 5 year old daughter used to do the same thing but she grew out of it thank goodness.
When I read that, I thought precisely the same thing.

Just do a search of his posts. He is trolling every thread he can and bringing up the same old crap from EIGHT months ago. Referrencing me, my pizza binge, this thread...just totally being a whiny baby. HTFU apparently is applicable to everyone else, but not this particular person. Bless his heart.
