Light gives out Heat (was: Bracelets for Bike Lanes?)
Jym Dyer wrote: = Don Quixote Flame wars are about the safest wars around and can only bring some light--and hopefully some action--into the issue. =v= The entire history of cross-posted flamewars on Usenet suggests otherwise. Heat is not light. And starting this thread on rec.bicycles.* is rude; the whole point of having separate rec.bicycles.* newsgroups is to discuss what one is interested in. (Note Followups to one -- and only one --- rec.bicycles.* newsgroup.) =v= You seem to be the "Don Quixote" (a.k.a. "nolionnoproblem") who subscribed to dozens of email lists last December and cross-posted a "campaign for bike lanes" thread to all of them. And in followups you quoted responses from one email list and sent them to others. This confused and angered people. It also prompted a few trolls to subscribe to email lists they had not otherwise caught wind of. All in all, light was not shed. =v= Learn from this. When people tell you nicely that they object to off-topic cross-posted flamewars, if your response is to dismiss them, their response will be likewise. _Jym_ Sorry, but I see a common thread through them: BICYCLES. This affect every cyclist out there, whether serious, casual or in-between. We may as well have included a few more groups: ENVIRONMENT, DRIVING, PEACE and even TERRORISM, since it is our gluttony that's feeding it... 'Bike for Peace is here to help you withdraw your dollars from oil companies which profit from "oil wars" and create environmental and social catastrophes world-wide. Now is the time to get involved and help make a bike friendly world a reality.' http://bikeforpaeace.org |
