Can we take the beef elsewhere. No one is good and no one is perfect. I'm not excusing any past behaviour by DJ, or anyone else. What I said was that we had a forum interaction that had a positive impact on me. 'Forum people who had a positive impact on me but are hugely flawed individuals' has a shit ring to it. I'd also like to see whose exempt from that. I don't want to go to the mat for DJ here really so can we just all take it easy.

We’ve never interacted (before now).
Too many to name, but all the helpful folks who diagnose mechanical issues on strangers’ bikes, including mine, thank you. @gbj_tester I think one of them is called. 😉
Also thanks to the wise and compassionate souls on the Depression thread. Your words and support make a positive difference.

Hello, I did not mention any names, there are things that do not sit right with me when talking about good people of the forum. So I will speak out. Martin Neomuller words have stuck with me, so I will speak out. If there is an issue with that, give it time as silencing those whom have spoken out does not bode well. A few good deeds does not negate a whole lot of horrible hateful ones, especially are there are many good people on this forum, whom have given positive experiences at this forum. Off the top of my head ryan at js on the brompton thread and helped so many others on the forum.
Replied to DJs comment, and did not mention any names.
But then again I didn't mention names like Mak for the bridges rides, but did reply to Katie thanking her and the others involved for the underground London ride was a fascinating ride. Especially liked that ride as I spent 80 work hours tracing the route of the River Effra and other tributaries to provide proof that Effra was not the cause of basement flooding. So gained a fascination for the old tributaries of the Thames that were diverted and culverted to become routes for sewers.
YAL also commented on our interaction, as I thought that was fucking hilarious/cringe worthy.

Have you missed this:
Should there be a new thread for drug addled OG forum members whom when confronted in face to face situations to say to an actual person what they claim online suddenly become very apologetic. Then claim they will apologise online then never do, then make claims more claims?
Or would you prefer I post about members (or specific members mentioned on here as good members) of whom posted on here and separate groups I was a member of and there were specific members making cruel and hateful things about others. Then grief farming? Are they still good members of the forum?
Maybe seeing forum members named as good people when they are clearly not upsets me.
But then history seems to show the ones calling out 'good' people as pariahs is not the correct position to take.
