I will respond by not answering your question because I think
you are fishing - poorly I might add.


His helmet saved his life.

But... If you have a very thick skull, I mean really thick, as in
Neanderthal thick, you don't need no helmet.

Apparently you don't need no helmet.

Prove it.

But... If you have a very thick skull, I mean really thick, as in
Neanderthal thick, you don't need no helmet.


Oh, so even with a thick skull you are saying you still need a helmet.
That's your opinion. You are entitled to it.

Apparently you don't need no helmet.


Yes, I agree, wearing a helmet is a good idea.

Your English is perhaps in need of some adjustment.
When you say "you don't need no helmet", means "you need a helmet".
That's the effect of the double negative. See?

If you are trying to be nasty, you are not good at it. Try harder.

Clearly, he made no such claim. All that was said was that "no helmet" is
optional. To which, I can almost agree, even in the presence of MHL.

Yup. Liberally applied accelerant won't push this damp moss into exothermic
excess. (But I did manage to light steel wool with just a mostly discharged
6V camera battery. Now *that* was somethin'.) Anyone got a light?

Your skull is too thick to believe proof, Neanderthal.

In fact, my English speaking voice is good enough to command and
control my computer, including the ability to dictate everything I
would otherwise have to type like you do. Typing is history here.
I play real-time strategy by voice, competitively. I have helped
define an extremely common English word that you use every day.
And how about you, what do you do in real life? Have you ever even
written anything outside of the Internet? Anything? No, of course
you haven't, Neanderthal.

Calling people names does not establish authority, or credibility.
Doesn't matter who you think you are, outside of this ng, either. You
don't "command and control" jack **** around here, bub. Zip, nada nil.

So: prove it ("helmet saved his life"), or shut up, or continue acting
like a jerk. Or: maybe you'll come up with a fourth option, O Wise
One?

Some people who beat their chest about using a real name also use
sock puppets. In other words... Beating your chest about using a
real name might help you feel better, but it is meaningless in the
real world.

I did not say or suggest anything like that, asshole.

Are you even skilled in the bicycle world, asshole?

Nobody can convince a NEANDERTHAL about anything. Unfortunately,
the rest of us end up paying for your Neanderthal ways when you
seriously injure yourself and come crying for help.

If you want to believe that a helmet will not protect your thick
skull, I could not care less, unless United States tax dollars pay
for spoon feeding your drooling mouth after you have a serious
head injury (more injured than it already is). If you ever have a
serious crash, asshole, please just die. Again, I am assuming you
are young enough to ride a bicycle.

Besides... If you have a really thick skull, as in NEANDERTHAL
THICK, maybe you don't need no helmet.
