Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

A lot of dudes on this thread talking trash for no reason, pretty bad mannered. Hopefully the admins let them all slide though.

I could be wrong, or the admins will explain it to you.

I wasn't implying he should start a boxing career, just join to get some aggression out. Also no judo or wrestler ever won 32 mma fights without learning how to punch or without being punched. That's MMA (mixed martial arts). Although there is a lot of injuries related to the grappling arts I thought for the OP good punches would have been more helpful and to the point to help his demeanor.

The OP seemed like he could slam 99% of the population through the concrete, I don't see how adding brain injury and more violence to his life would help but maybe you're right.

Fedor won 32 fights in a row using mostly throws to get on top and win, boxing isn't always the answer.

I suggest hanging up cycling and getting into astronomy or gardening, or something along those lines...

What I'm trying to say in a nice manner is he will get punched not he will punch, and yes sometimes getting punched will fix your attitude.
Surely boxing is not always the answer but in this case it would be faster than getting dominated on the ground.
When I grapple an aggressive opponent and I submit them with an arm lock or choke. I ask do they want to go again? They say yes. But when I kick box or box an aggressive opponent and I out box them, they don't want to go again. He sounded like the latter would be appropriate.

Maybe, but I have a thick skin and a generally crude sense of humor. But my sense of humor is neither here nor there, and it doesn't change the fact that what he posted was offensive and inappropriate in an objective sense. I know it when I see it.

I'm sure that if you compressed the floating ribs and sternum a bit more during grappling your aggressive opponents would not want to go again after the submission.

The last instance went something like this:

Me: "Hey dude, do you not like red lights or something?"
Him: "What do you mean?"
Me: "You completely blew through that red light, and ended up cutting me off."
Him: "Oh my God, are you serious? I'm so sorry, I didn't see it. Are you okay?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm fine. It wasn't that close that I'd get injured, just wanted to let you know."
Him: "Okay thanks, I'll pay more attention."
Me: "Cool man, have a good day! Also, nice hat, Go Hawks!"

Quadzilla and Bebosaab had different IP addresses, interestingly enough. Quad is a unique and beautiful snowflake .

Also, I'm reporting this thread so we can keep an eye on it. People tend to post insensitive things here, and some users are sensitive.

In the meantime:

Is that really the only way that sockpuppets are detected? I could open up a new user named "SockpuppetOfProoftheory" as long as I had a new IP address?

Well, you'd also need a different email address for your new account, but that is pretty easy to do. I think these guys are just a bunch of juiceheads who are trying to outdo each other.

Much worse than that, he is a "beginner".
