I am willing to don the asshat as an example to those who might consider such a crime, I am a fair man. I feel that this will officially make me a martyr for the betterment of this board, which is sooo emo, right? Furthermore, I recognize that it is my duty to pass said asshat on to people who reply to sarcastic, "trollish" posts with self righteous drivel.
Under your conceptual framework, this thread should be sent to hell for its lack of fixie/ss content.
I wholeheartedly agree. And once the "sending to hell" commences, I will need no further persuasion. It should be noted that this is not an area where silent protest or passive aggressive tactics would have had much effect. I heard the call, and acted (sound the trumpets!) , realizing that one additional meaningless post would have had such a small effect on the SNR of this board. Maybe it was a bad move. I found the idea funny, but I didn't expect anyone to get their panties in a bunch about it.
Heaven forbid our posts should actually be interesting and funny and not about the menutia of bike parts and maintenence
It is apparent that the meaning of the words "interesting and funny" do not mean the same thing to you that they do to me.
Anyway, It was mostly a joke based on my feelings on the 'vibe' of this board. You should really not take it (and this board, yourself) so seriously. If you are not as annoyed by these topics as I am, please, continue to post them.
Oh yeah, and I would also like to add the "brake/no brake" debate to the list, as well as any variations of the "how do I skid" threads.
Thank you all for your time.
