Enough with the OT politics!
Enough!
Would Dolan, and Sherman, and anyone else who wants to argue OT politics take it to a political NG? If someone writes something politically stupid or offensive, with which you disagree - just let it go. You aren't going to win, you aren't going to convince anyone of anything, and by now it only looks as if you are doing it for your ego. Let it go, or take it elsewhere.

Enough with the OT politics!
This goes over, over and over; and pleas to stop it are ignored by a
small few each time. You just cannot talk sense into a bullheaded minority 'bent' to make it miserable for everyone who does not give a tinkers damn about OT screw ups. And I thought the bent was part of recumbent Must be very uncomfy dispelling all that gas... yap yap yap.. must dispel it somehow. ;-) Meanwhile, the sane few must pick and plod for the human powered bicycle morsels. Good luck stopping the OT insanity, I tried but couldn't slow it down. Chris Jordan Santa Cruz, CA. Steve Christensen wrote in message ... Enough!

Steve, I think there are only about two (2) threads out of the first 25 that are currently being devoted to OT. That seems about right to me. Mr. Sherman likes to post in bits and pieces and so it seems like more if you are using strictly a newsreader. To get the proper perspective you need to look at the Google web page. Almost all of the threads are recumbent related, and that is the way I like it too. But the fact is that there is a small minority of us who do enjoy OT and as long as we do not dominate the threads I do not see what the objection is. Proportion is everything - on Usenet as in life.

Enough with the OT politics!
Steve,
I don't remember having a problem until Ed Dolan joined the group. Let's face it, Ed has diarrhea of the mouth! It takes Ed 50 words to say what Tom can intelligently say in short sentence. Volume does not make up for quality. And, have you noticed Ed ALWAYS has to have the last word. Insecure! Tom on the other hand has quickly lost respect, I preceive, of many on this group. He used to throw in quick barbs and quickly retreat laughing, but Ed now has him by the balls! Before, I may not have always agreed with what Tom said, but I enjoyed the way he said it. The question is: "Is Tom intelligent enough to get out of this and back to recumbent riding?" And don't forget Freewheeling! Ed has his balls too! Ed had his balls so tight that Freewheeling killfiled him. A few years ago I watched as Mikey V killed the MTB group. I hope this doesn't happen here. Many people have left this group because of Ed. Ed doesn't have a clue! Perry B - Minnesota "Steve Christensen" wrote in message ... Enough! Would Dolan, and Sherman, and anyone else who wants to argue OT politics take it to a political NG?

Volume does not make up for quality. And, have you noticed Ed ALWAYS has to have the last word. Insecure! Right, Perry, you didn't have a problem with this newsgroup because you enjoyed those liberal rants that were prevalent on this news group before I showed up. Tom has never yet said anything remotely intelligent, but it speaks volumes that you think so. You are most likely a typical Minnesota liberal, one of the lowest species of Americans that I know of. I wish to God you and your ilk would move to Massachusetts. Frankly, I am ashamed to be from Minnesota because of liberals like you. Tom on the other hand has quickly lost respect, I perceive, of many on this group. He used to throw in quick barbs and quickly retreat laughing, but Ed now has him by the balls! Before, I may not have always agreed with what Tom said, but I enjoyed the way he said it. The question is: "Is Tom intelligent enough to get out of this and back to recumbent riding?" And don't forget Freewheeling! Ed has his balls too! Ed had his balls so tight that Freewheeling killfiled him. No, Freewheeling is more intelligent than you. He has not kill filed me because I have a knack for saying intelligent things and he respects that. It is only the numbskull's who have kill filed me. Please note that Mr. Sherman has not yet kill filed me, although I will bet that he has thought about it. Yes, I suspect Mr. Sherman has lost some respect on this newsgroup because he now has to contend with me and I am not an easy person to answer to. He can no longer pontificate like he used to. A few years ago I watched as Mikey V killed the MTB group. I hope this doesn't happen here. Many people have left this group because of Ed. Ed doesn't have a clue! Screw these wimpy jackasses! If they want to leave, good riddance. I will hold everyone accountable for what they say on this newsgroup and everyone can also hold me accountable for whatever I say. If you want to be stroked by your fellow man I suggest you go to your local social club where everyone is making an attempt to be nice and goody. That sort of scene disgusts me, but maybe it is right up your alley. Why haven't you noticed that there are others on this newsgroup (GeoB and Freewheeling) who enjoy OT and that there is a stimulating discussion going on. Even Mr. Sherman can't stay away from it. You need to get some intellectual stimulation in your life and who knows, maybe some day you can contribute something to the discussion yourself. However, I do agree with most on this newsgroup that OT should be limited. I do not want OT to take over the newsgroup. After all, I am here for the recumbent information the same as everyone else. I cannot see for the life of me why others like yourself cannot see OT as a sort of dividend to ARBR. If it is not enjoyable for you, then stay away from it. Most threads once they get going are easily identified for what they are. They don't even have to be labeled OT, although they should be so labeled. I can spot in a second what posts I want to read, what posts I want to respond to and what posts I want to totally ignore. Can't you? Yes, I have a clue to ARBR better than you. I didn't spend my life in the bowels of great university libraries without picking up a clue or two. As I have stated over and over again in previous posts, I am here to check all the liberal rants and raves that infested this newsgroup before I showed up. All I ever want for this newsgroup is fair and balanced opinions. Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

Steve Christensen wrote: Enough! Would Dolan, and Sherman, and anyone else who wants to argue OT politics take it to a political NG? Why not mention the person who started the thread? The flame war was going on for several days before I posted anything to it. Forget it Tom. The fact is that both you and I enjoy these OT threads as do several others (GeoB and Freewheeling). We have as much right to be here as any others. They can either read us or not. Let us stop making apologies and excuses to these nuts and screwballs who don't like us. Hell, I don't like them much either. From now on I am going to treat all these complainers with the contempt they so sorely deserve. I have lost all patience with them. Ed Dolan - Minnesota |
