No, this topic should be closed & removed. Or at the very least un-stuck from it's sticky position in the forum so it can fall to the bottom & off the page eventually. It never should have been posted. It should have needed to be posted in the first place.Originally Posted by sbhikes
I think if would be better if it offered free pie.
"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
Free pie and the ability of everyone to act like adults without the need for 3rd party moderation. I prefer pumpkin
Monsignor: We must always fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil that we must fear the most, and that is the indifference of good men.
Connor: I do believe the monsignor's finally got the point.
Murphy: Aye.

The Snohomish Pie Company has a LOT of bike parking out front.
"Evidence, anecdote and methodology all support planning for roadway bike traffic."
I would make my family lemon meringue recipe (tart!) and share if it would help calm things down any.
"Real wars of words are harder to win. They require thought, insight, precision, articulation, knowledge, and experience. They require the humility to admit when you are wrong. They recognize that the dialectic is not about making us look at you, but about us all looking together for the truth."
What if I don't like meringue? It upsets my stomach.I would make my family lemon meringue recipe (tart!) and share if it would help calm things down any.
Then I would highly recommend the Snohomish Pie Company. You can get any flavor you want there.

You're so misguided. If you had any sense at all, you'd know that blueberry pie is the only pie...Free pie and the ability of everyone to act like adults without the need for 3rd party moderation. I prefer pumpkin
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
March 14 was pi day. Made me want a tart with a diameter of 1 foot and a circumference of 3.14... feet. A pi pie.

I agree, but I bet we disagree on which poster causes the most problems.
Let's see how this new subforum works. And I hope the pie was good.
If you missed pi day, you can celebrate British pi day on 22/7. Never miss an excuse for pie. Why do I ride? So I can eat as much pie as I want.

'Nuff said.
Is Boston Creme a pie or a cake?
I like cherry pie. Boysenberry is good, too.

Personally I prefer cheescake over pie.
Hmmm. I never thought of you as a contrarian.
I should have said unless I'm riding RAGBRAI. Then it is all the pie I can eat. That may be why the rest of the year I prefer cheescake, I eat way to much pie on RAGBRAI.

My question is, why the hell are folks complaining to the mods so much?
Nothing in A&S (that I've seen) is so abusive as to warrant tattle-tailing. People disagree, sometimes vehemently. So what? I like a stirred pot; otherwise all the scum floats to the top*.
* props to Edward Abbey who originally quoted:
"Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top."

IMO because several posters believe that their sacred cows should never be subjected to criticism, let alone gored. In their scheme, all such "disrespect" is considered a personal insult worthy of whining and complaining to the mods.
So you think HH is overflowing the complaint department?
I tend to disagree. He might be dogmatic, but he doesn't seem to be thin-skinned. (as evidenced by his tenacity)

Reading this thread confirms so many things I had been wondering about.
Good stuff!
A couple of his pals, particularly the new one from SF and probably the old one with the hang up about bike lane hysteria. But I could be wrong.
In all fairness, there are plenty of members that don't take sides, but don't like the way many of you interact.
Oh I am sure you are right. Some of our BF friends in several sub forums are all for one big support group hugging each other with the approved conventional wisdom and nicey-nice silly talk.
...and keep away from the debate or the forums in general because of they way the posts go.
It's just not worth wasting too much sleep over the debate if it's not the ideas that are objected to, but the posters that are being objectionable.
A forum is only as good as it's members. For me, it's teetering on the brink on weather to spend time and effort here or not.
