Mike Vandeman - kook!!!
Hi all,
A comment about Mike Vandeman . . . I just found this NG tonight and found that, like just about every other active NG, this group has its own prolific posting nut case. He claims to have a PhD - I doubt, after reviewing his posts, he has even taken Psyc. 101 class or even spent a single day in college. I don't know what he claims to have a PhD in but I don't think it is in Psychology like he seems to like to make one think - post in this NG, .. . . The Psychology of Mountain Biking Michael J. Vandeman, Ph.D. January 24, 2000 .. . . For a psychologist, mountain biking is a fascinating phenomenon. Lying The first thing one notices about mountain bikers is that they lie continually! .. . . I have a BA (yes, Mike a PhD is higher than a BA but even a BA can spot a Bull **** PhD) in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and I can tell you that the way he (you Mike) words his posts in such a confrontational and superficial manor, as well as MANY other signals, he (you Mike) has no clue about Psychology. No Psychologist, of any creditability, would spew such broad sweeping and unsupported generalizations. I would like to see him (yes, you Mike) post some of the APA published study references he (yes, you Mike) used to validate such claims! -------------------- Chris Keep the tires down and the sky up!!! |

Hi all, A comment about Mike Vandeman . . . Welcome, now the next thing you need to do now that you've fed one of our resident trolls is set up your kill file to filter his dribble out. It greatly improves the signal to noise ratio. Jason |

Thanks Jason for the warm welcome!!!
--------------------------------- "I thought Mikey V's PhD was in dietary science?" Tom, as I am new to the group I didn't know, sorry. How does a degree in dietary science give someone credentials to talk about mountain biking? My comment was based upon what I read, a post that insinuated a degree in Psychology. ----------------------------------- "Th(sic) truth hurts, huh?" Umm, . . . No!!! Truth is enlightenment. What truth are you talking about??? "I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)" Conservationist, I can respect that but I can only support someone who actively goes after the people/groups who do the real/majority of the damage to the environment, Mt. bikers don't represent numbers high enough to be significant. The real advisories are the soccer moms and corporate dads who see land as dollars and playgrounds for their snot-nosed children. To post in a NG for mountain bikers is like trying to fix a problem by attacking the .01 % while ignoring the 99.9% who actually cause the problems you are trying to fix. Most Mt. bikers I know would like to see the land as pristine after they go through it as it was before they entered it. I've been through many trails in Wisconsin and Arizona and can tell you from experience that the majority of the problems are from the weekend tourists who come to visit and not from the Mt. bikers! I get the fact that you are a troll in this NG and just like every other NG troll you THINK you are doing something good or creditable but I have to say that if you really want to save the environment then you would go after the real cause of the problem, the city dweller ignorant butt kisser and not the Mt. biker. If you really have a PhD then I would think that you would realize this by now. It comes down to this. . . If you are really an environmentalist then you will leave this group and find one where you can help your cause, if you are simply a troll that craves attention then you will stay here. Your environmental friend?!?!, Chris |

BS. There are MILLIONS of them, and they all seem to go out trail-shredding (THEIR words) every week. That's a lot of habitat destruction!
