ARBR has gone downhill
One thing bike riding teaches us is that for every "downhill" there will be
an uphill..... "Al Kubeluis" wrote in message ... Hello Bikers, I have practically stopped using arbr because of off topic stuff and personal attacks and nit picking. OT has almost destroyed arbr. The attacks on Bryan Ball re his sign off message are another example of the venom and nit picking of a few on this group. (Bryan contributes immensely to recumbents and cycling with his Bentrideronline.) Ed Dolan started out in good humor to counter liberal biases on arbr, but he has over done it. But Ed Dolan is not the only, or even main, OT poster. Tom Sherman, for one, posts many liberal OT posts. I'm just plain sick of OT posts. Yes, one filters posts, but is it worthwhile, especially when there are good alternatives as Bentrideronline and Yahoo Groups. There are many here who focus on biking and contribute worthwhile ideas, humor, and friendship, but these folks are getting drowned in a sea of politics and personal attacks and nit picking that has nothing to do with biking. Those who want to talk politics, go to a politics newsgroup. Those that want to fight, email duel. And those that need to show how clever they are, go to a Mensa group. Try to recall those that you really like and who have left arbr over the years or who hardly post any more and ask "Why?". Sincerely, Al Kubeluis |
