Not to mention how many have nothing to do with the search terms in
any of those links.

I am unconvinced Mike. On all counts. Just saying.

I have been injured more by cars than all my mountain riding combined.
My safety is much more threatened by cars.

Even so, it is still remarkably crass and tasteless of you to wish ill
upon anyone who happens to ride a bike off road.

You have to understand Mike. He once posted an article where a mountain bike
rider was actually riding on the street -- for whatever the reason -- and
was struck by a car. I think Mike's lame retort was, "evolution in action."

Mike is known to support the idea of stringing piano wire across a trail,
and setting sharpened sticks in such a manner as to impale bicycle riders.

I know, I just didn't think it required such explicit qualification. I
mean all those short people who need to get a mountain bike just to
stand over the frame for commuting are just asking for it. Lookat what
kind of bike they were riding.

While not condoning violence, I had a similar notion intended to
disable the Internet for a certian someone who has a fabricated reason
for opposing a type of bicycle based purly on wheel size, and I cannot
make him trip over his own CAT-V cable and fall onto a bunch of
upturned DIMM chips. Also, I agree with free speach too much to think
preventing him from speaking is a good idea, but fortunatly he does
such a great job of discrediting himself, it is actually more like
cold fusion humor. Although his "Evolution in action" line is canned
and stail by now.

BS. I'm trying to PROTECT them. It's YOU who wish them ill, because
you want the dangers swept under the rug, instead of being publicly
displayed.

Mike, you have totaly lost me here. You have a bunch of vauge
references to specifics and I cannot tell who or what you are talking
about, so let's break it down first.

Them is who?

It's YOU who wish them ill,


As you put it so elliquantly a monent ago, BS. Show me where I
_said_those_exact_words_or_implied_the_same. I know you cannot, but
try and explain how you possibly came to this conclusion.

because you want the dangers swept under the rug,


Again, as you put it, BS. First off, what dangers? Second, when did I
say I wanted these dangers (which I am not privy to) swept under a
rug? Third, a rug? This is a crap methaphore considering what you are
trying to say I meant to say, or actually said, that I did not.

instead of being publicly displayed.


See above. I swear, it's like trying to argue with a Beck song.
"I don't need no wheels. I don't need no gasoline. 'Cause the wind
that is blowing. Is blowing like a smoke machine."

Chris
