It's not my job to defend others here. I get your point, but credit JoeyBike for his experience. And, once they cut through the chaff, many can benefit from those kernels of wisdom that pop up from time to time.

Not that long ago, he posted how when feels traffic unusually bad, he'll pull off and take a break until things improve. A lesson we all can benefit from as we sometimes let frustration and doggedness override common sense. I was pleasantly surprised to see it here, especially considering the source.

I also appreciate his posts as a counterbalance to the "woe is me, a poor cyclist surrounded by people trying to kill me....." I also see here. Also, some of the preaching to the choir, "The USA roads suck, why isn't it like....."

So, if I may suggest, think of him as one of the 2nd parts of the Serenity Prayer. Like bad drivers, he'll neither change nor disappear, so you might as well accept it.

Or as Joey might put it, posts like his are an accepted risk of participation on a forum.....

BTW I left this forum a few years age because some people and BS was getting to me. I'm back now, using a much stronger inboard noise filter, so while there's still some I despise, I'm more able to tune them out.
