Mike, how did you travel to these international conferences?
Don't avoid my question.
Have you ever flown in an airplane?
No, I have never flown in an airplane.
Now answer my question, how did you travel to these international
conferences?
Are you a mountain biker?
No. I have Bridgestone RB-T.

How does that answer my question? Have you ever ridden off-road?

Have you ever used a motor vehicle?
Yes. Are you going to continue playing games or are you going to
answer my question?

Just wondering how hypocrtitical you are. Mountain bikers LOVE to
attack anyone who tells the truth about their selfish, destructive
sport, rather than stick to the subject: the harm that mountain biking
does.

Jesus Christ, Mike. He's answered your questions. He owns
a road bike. He stated flatly that he's not a mountain
biker. Has he ever ridden off-road? That was not the
original question. Have you ever ridden your bike across
your lawn? Then you have ridden off-road. Knock off the
bully tactics. Or is that how you get people to agree with
your point of view?

Saint, my ass. That's for you Ed. You may be a saint
but Mikey sure isn't.

No, I have never flown in an airplane.

Now answer my question, how did you travel to these international

No. I have Bridgestone RB-T.

Your answer makes no sense. I have no idea what "Bridgestone RB-T" is,
and what relation that has to mountain biking.

What part of "I have an old Bridgestone touring bicycle, not suited
for any off road riding" did not make sense to you?
No, I have never ridden off-road, I own a touring bicycle that is used
on roads for long distance touring.



How does that answer my question? Have you ever ridden off-road?

When you asked "are you a mountain biker" and I write "No," that
unequivocally answers your question. I have an old Bridgestone touring
bicycle, not suited for any off road riding.

Have you ever used a motor vehicle?

Yes. Are you going to continue playing games or are you going to
answer my question?

I've already told you I am not a mountain biker.

That doesn't answer my question: Have you ever ridden a bicycle off-
road? Why are you playing coy?

No, I have never ridden off-road, I have no reason or desire to, end
of question.

How did you get to the dozen international conferences where you
presented your scientific papers?

Why are you avoiding answering my question by playing silly games?


answer my question or are you going to continue to play this silly
game that my elementary students used to play?- Hide quoted text -

So what was the original question? Bill Weir is a scalawag who poses
irrelevant questions which only an idiot would ever want to answer.

Hey, how about this Bill ... how many times a week do you **** your wife?
Now there is an original question that you ought to be able wrap your
minuscule mind around since it is on the lowest level possible. What it has
to do with mountain bikers I leave to you.

Saint, my ass. That's for you Ed. You may be a saint
but Mikey sure isn't.

My Saintliness has been remarked upon by all Minnesotans, most of whom are
the greatest sinners imaginable. All Minnesotans are going to Hell for their
liberal views and only Saint Edward the Great will be going to Heaven! It is
also possible that TibetanMonkey, that redoubtable Floridian, will also be
going to Heaven, even though he, like me, is an atheist. Strange indeed are
ways of God!

Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota

You never said that, liar.

Good for you, although it took forever to get a straight answer.

Then why are you supporting mountain bikers, by aping their habit of
attacking PEOPLE, instead of addressing the subject of the
newsgroup???

How did you get to the dozen international conferences where you

How is that relevant to mountain biking impacts, the subject of the

At least I tell the truth, something you should try some time.

No where have I attacked anyone and I have not supported mountain
biking. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to stop making
things up. The subject of the newsgroup I am posting in is
sci.environment. Did you by chance forget how many groups you are
cross posting to?


How did you get to the dozen international conferences where you
presented your scientific papers?

How is that relevant to mountain biking impacts, the subject of the

It's as relevant as you asking me if I have ever used a motor vehicle
and relevent to the newsgroup I am posting in.

Now, how did you get to the dozen international conferences you claim
to have been to?

The subject of rec.backcountry is NOT mountain biking impacts per se.
You may wish to recall that you cross-post these messages all over the

No, it doesn't! This is all you said: "Bridgestone RB-T". You did NOT

Not really. It is a personal attack. Ad hominem. By someone who
admitted using an automobile, making it hypocritical.

Now, how did you get to the dozen international conferences you claim
to have been to?

Public transit.

It is relevant to that group. "Mike Vandeman" is NOT a relevant topic.
