Good bye, ride on and be safe.
I wanted to post that I will not be checking in on the Bike Forum anymore. If you respond to any of my previous posts and I do not respond I am not being rude, I am simply not coming back. If I have said or responded to your posts in a way that has upset you I do apologize as I have never meant to offend or disparage anyone's ideas or opinions. Thank you to all that have offered their help and ideas to my many dumb questions and I hope all that post here have nothing but the best weather, finest trails, and problem-free rides.
Be safe all and ride on.
Frank.

I'll give him/her the benefit of doubt. Maybe they're just taking a self-imposed 'time out' to get away from the whackiness for a while, then come back with a fresh attitude and see if this place has been able to lift itself out of the cesspool.

From the thread title and the fact this in 50+ forum, I expected this was going to be a health related gotta give up cycling post. I guess it is better the OP is losing interest in BF than bikes or being sidelined by health issues.

some just don't / won't tolerate negativity
they will participate in a forum to enhance - if/when it becomes a negative they might shut it down

If you desire acrimony in abundance (before the mods descend) Pianoworld is the place to be. And of course, the Authors forum found on Amazon Books.
Both take some beating for entertainment.
