This is after 157 messages in the thread, in a large part of which I was abused by Jobst Brandt and his Bumbuddies for being an ignoramus who committed lese majeste by daring to question the great Jobst Brandt. In all that time, besides himself abusing me, Brandt did nothing to rein in his "friends" constantly abusing me. Now, in the face of the vast majority of RBT posters agreeing with me that the graph on p39 of the third edition of The Bicycle Wheel shows compression in a steel spoke, which we all know is impossible in physics, at last Jobst admits that he made a mistake. But notice that he apologizes to Peter Cole for it. Jobst Brandt doesn't apologize to me for wrongfully (and it must be said ignorantly, if he didn't read my question) abusing me, for calling me ignorant, for trying to patronize me, for setting his gang on me. Oh, no, Jobst Brandt apologizes to Peter Cole for being caught out in a series of lies, which he now tries to excuse as mere carelessness (not that he apologizes to me for that either). Tom Sherman says that's just the way Jobst is. I don't see that we need to accept such a gross example of the Ugly Engineer as Jobst Brandt for any reason whatsoever. Andre Jute Master bull**** detector Yeah, but your original question was posed in a jackassish manner.. Really? I thought it had an upbeat, street beat, rappah strut to it.. I'm afraid, dear Hank, that science doesn't recognize jackassery as an impediment to the *exchange of information. But from Brandt no information flowed, only abuse -- and everyone saw it. All but one of the supposed "options" you gave him made him out to be wrong, Yup, and I was right, Jobst Brandt was dead wrong and in precisely the way one of my five options predicted (actually, in the way several of them predicted, because more problems with his book have since come to light, but why count the additional ****ups when a miss is as good as a mile, eh?). *Brandt has now, after years of him and his gang abusing everyone who mentioned it, been forced to admit the error and apologize for it. Surely the truth is worth a little jackassery? and you-yes-you are a jerk for asking it the way you did. Excuse me? Brandt was dead wrong, he has now been proved dead wrong, in precisely the way I predicted, he has admitted he was wrong, he apologized for it. Why should I treat with kid gloves someone who lied for 25 years about an error and hid it by intimidating critics by the same means this scum tried on me? You're wanking, Hank. Andre Jute Thumbs well clear of the bricks Hank's first try at getting his pants on with the zip to the front: Whether or not he was wrong is no excuse for you being a dickhead. Hank's second try at getting his pants on with the zip to the front: And the two extra threads you created to gloat just makes you moreso of a jerk. You'd better not join the Klan, Hank. If you can't even get your jeans on with the zip to the front in two tries, how, with four possibilities, will you ever get the white hood on with the eyes to the front? Andre Jute Ickle tickle toe WTF are you even talking about? |

If you don't like them, ignore them or killfile them, it's that easy. |

By removing the context from my remarks you have distorted them to the opposite of the original meaning. Andre Jute Master bull**** detector Really. How precious. |

Does it make a difference that Jobst Brandt for twenty-five years lied about that graph and intimidated people who told the truth about it into silence? Or don't you care about truth, Hank? Are you just ****ed off because I took a hammer to your idol's clay feet? Andre Jute Mythsmasha Jobst is no idol of mine. I own the book (as, apparently, do you) but have only paid attention to its rather good lacing instructions on the first three or four pairs I built. As for the math and engineering portions, I make no claim to understand, so I don't bother trying to judge the veracity of his claims therein lies the problem. everyone who stands and acclaims this book is simply looking at the lacing instructions [which don't tell you how to position a hub label relative to the rim valve hole unlike schraner's book btw]. they're not looking - or understanding - the technical problems. but jobst claims this acclamation is "peer review" and stubbornly refuses to correct his errors. , nor yours, nor beam's. I was a liberal arts major in college, so I feel no shame in admitting this. as a liberal arts major, if you read the avocet version of hamlet, claiming to be the new authoritative reference, but the text was munged or contained random pages from chaucer, would you gloss over the problem or would you speak up? My only qualm is with your lack of couth, which goes far beyond any annoyed dismissiveness Jobst may have exhibited towards you. And the way you phrased your original question didn't DESERVE to be fully read, let alone answered. Your behavior in this thread and the three others related to it has been reprehensible and does a disservice to the otherwise positive contributions you make to this group. You've made yourself into as much of a clown as Ed Dolan. |

Ok, he hasn't been uncivil to me, which is the point I'm trying to make. Maybe the people he he's being uncivil to deserve it, I don't know, but if he was uncivil to me, I'd stop talking to him fairly sharpish. |

Maybe the people he he's being uncivil to deserve it, I don't know, Have a look at his posting history, and you'll be able to make a better judgement. but if he was uncivil to me, I'd stop talking to him fairly sharpish. I'd take into account his behaviour towards others as well as to myself. Now if this were URC, I'd KF him, but there's so much trolling on this NG that a little bit extra won't hurt. |
