As was often heard in the movie Joe vs. the Volcano...

I have no response to that.

I don't care either way - it is amazing how fast flame wars, etc., stop when no one feeds them!

I think that we all(?) have at least one thing in common and that probably helps as well.


What makes you think this isn't my real name?

Because I knew Johnny Monkey, I worked with Johnny Money, and you, sir, are no Johnny Monkey!


(Is Johnny Monkey Afghanistanimation, or is that just Johnny Chimpo?)

The ignore feature works wonders. I don't use it often but I have had issues with a couple of users and just ignored them full time. Then you don't have to avoid posts, they just don't appear

We DO have a forum for those of us who LIKE to argue, within reason. It's called the "Politics and Religion" forum. It does have it's own code of ethics to abide by, and most do, except during elections.
I agree to reply to the meatheads of the net with silence. Revenge is sometimes a dish not served at all!

Here's another idea for a forum...

Self-Acclaimed Experts Who Are Never Wrong

They could all gather in one place and beat-up on each other all day long... while the rest of us just try to learn and grow together the best way we know how.

It might work! How 'bout it, Mods?

We already have it now. As Kristoperson stated, It is called "Politics & Religion".

As an aside- I checked out the Marathon Bike link under your signature. I saw that there were to be 3 rides, but nowhere did I see how far the rides were.
