Or maybe the women hang out in a different forum... say, oh, i don't know, the women's forum?

Think they post pics of half naked guys on bikes?

Yes, check out foo some time

actually this thread is reminding me more and more of foo.

No group hug yet so it can't be Foo.

The OP in the other thread was most assuredly trolling. How many folks who have no clue about handlebar adjustment know anything about bullhorns?

I didn't think he was trolling. I could be wrong, but he just seemed like he was genuinely so new to this he didn't have a clue.

:hug:

how 'bout now?

Oh fiddle sticks!!!! (being nice)

Him and his buddies are sitting back and having one hell of a laugh at all this hand wringing.

BillyD is the real man of BF...and a darn fine troll.

</thread>

I know you're trying to be helpful, and you and I are clearly on opposite sides of this one, but really, who is so new that they've never seen a road bike before?

I dunno, maybe I'm just blind...I'm honestly not trying to be combative... maybe the guy who said it's all a result of the BD shills getting our hackles up was right...I know I'm certainly quick to get mad at those...:innocent:

What I find amazing about this thread is that I think both sides of the argument are honestly just trying to defend what's right. I guess that's how you end up with a nation that votes 50/50.

Siu said it best about 1,000 posts ago.

I just hope that a few mods who sit on the opposite 50% from me can see that there are two sides to this argument and don't turn the forum into a boring encyclopedia of facts with no flavor.

And a dern fine hypocrite as well (see post #19 in Luuuke's thread).

there's a difference between seeing a road bike and really looking at one. I know, because I was once a part of the former. ;)

That's mean....but since BillyD isn't a noob, you won't be banned...yet, but we're gonna be watching you, bully boy.

You would be shocked what gets you a strike or banning around these parts. I know I was..

Not directed toward you but the above statement seems to be an Idea shared among a few posters and it brought to mind a phrase that seemed fitting, "A rat cant smell its own ****".

Aww. Don't fret. Someday you'll see that line that is really pretty obvious to most of us (though it does move now and then). When that happens, you'll no longer be a noob! :p

Did someone hurt your feelings recently?

yup my wife called me a "lazy SOB" problem was she is right.

Didn't we just have one of these like a month ago? I thought it was going to be a long winter then....:rolleyes:

The campagnolo/shimano or carbon/steel threads are so much more fun.

I remember one of the coolest women , quit posting because of over moderation.

She still pokes around a bit....but you're right. Maybe she left because she was hungry....

I didn't open up this thread until now. I just want to say that when I first came around BF, I asked a lot of stupid questions and was treated with patience and respect. Seriously. I couldn't even remember how to F-ing put air in a tire! No one condescended to me, just reminded me about the valve thingy. Seems there was more of a spirit of helpfulness on this forum to balance out the elitism and frat house sh-t.

I dunno, don't care really... the Benadryl is kicking in...
