No, it was the "EURO's phantom bike" thread that was the source of my fun. He made fun of guys riding expensive triples, and was accused of being jealous. So he started a thread where he built a fully Campy Cyfac, and posted photos of each piece as they came in. The first post in the thread was a very McCarthy era post - he named names and basically said "Here's my bike, you guys suck, kiss my ass".

Once the thread got going, it went ok. So I posted a warning that harassment wouldn't be tolerated. A poo-storm ensued. All was good for a bit, then he finished the bike, and he copped it again. Someone had it in for him, and he ended up banned. Because he wanted to be banned. More poo-flinging ensued, then cross-thread poo-flinging. EURO was outed, as someone figured out his true ID and posted his name and photo. Oh, somewhere in there I copped a heap for the banning, and what some people thought was favouritism towards EURO. I was only trying to stop the harassment, not protect a bigger tool than a Shopsmith. I think that covers it. Go see what else he posts - it's good value, entertainment-wise.
