So you post a bunch of inflammatory opinions on a foundation of bias on
a website and a few hotheads or children send you a few emails.

How does this A: support the title you posted in the thread? (Mountain
Bikers SILENT about Environmental Destruction in Their Backyard!) B:
Prove ANYTHING about the major majority of people who are following the
IMBA guidelines of being respectful on the trail?

Curtiss defends and supports the idiots that Vandeman points out to us.
Curitss is only a slightly more literate advocate than the email mountain
bikers with their obscenities and profanities, but like them he is a
scoundrel who is into nothing but the desecration of nature. He belongs
in a zoo with the other mountain biker animals, all of whom do not have
enough sense to know that bikes, no matter what they are called, do not
belong on hiking trails.

Your comprehension skills are horrible. Either that or you apparently only
see what you want to see.
Where do I defend the persons sending him these emails? I merely asked how
this relative handful of bad examples "Prove ANYTHING about the major
majority of people who are following the IMBA guidelines of being
respectful on the trail?


I believe what Vandeman presents to us is typical of the idiots, morons and
imbeciles who call themselves mountain bikers. I have also run into these
types in the flesh (ugh!) on many occasions myself.

Apparently, you would be perfectly OK with the following statements:

A few people use knives to rob other people so all people who own knives
are armed robbers.


Actually I am not much in favor of people carrying knives on their persons
no matter the purpose.

A few people use the internet to scam little old ladies out of their
savings so all people who use the internet are guilty.


Never respond to spam messages let alone buy anything from them. That way
you will avoid being scammed.

A few people hike in the woods and leave trash behind so all hikers are
litterbugs.


I am the sort of person who actually picks up other peoples' trash as a I
poke along the trail. How about you?

So please tell us, if you are indeed as "Great" as you claim to be, how
the statements above can be false when you stand beside Vandeman and his
silly postings with the same generalized implications:
A few people who claim to be mountain bikers send me angry or abusive
emails so every mountain biker is guilty of being angry and abusive.


It seems to be more than a few!

Curtiss, you need to get on board and stop your defense of the indefensible.
You are on the side of the Devil and Vandeman is on the side of the Angels.
Can't you just hear the Heavenly Choir singing when you read his messages!
