Foffa Bikes

Time for pie?

I'm sure other people are getting as bored as I am in me answering all these questions all day and night.

Is Dani paying you double-bubble for being his propagandist outside shop hours?

Seriously though, this thread would return to the obscurity whence it has recently sprung if you would just stop posting replies. Pretty much nobody agrees with your view that LFGSS owes Foffa a living, so without your posts there would be no argument, and the thread would quickly fall off the front page.

Aufbrach + Stingray =

Here's a picture of Joe.

Right, I've said all that can be said, a few times, there's nothing more for me to say. I tried to answer the questions which I felt was the right thing to do, particularly since people seem angry about it. Unless you feel like I've missed something, then do fee free to PM, call, meet for drinks, what eves, but for this thread, I iz done.

Peace.

And another:

I just found the original forum meme! WIN! (Build made this, but it vanished from its original home).

Neg repped ;-)

Again, why are you so angry?

because the silly way in which a bike forum has been used as a political protest by VB has now been used by you to remove legitimate criticism of a business from the public domain, censorship, if you will, an end which is antithetical to the original motivations for the darknet to exist. which is:

Q: Why does LFGSS have one?
A: It's a reaction to ACTA proposals and a protest against copyright laws in general, the protest is in the form of creating an encrypted space that cannot be monitored.

Josh, shut the fuck up...

All this talk about the evil influence of money - on a secret forum that you can buy access to. Mega lolz.

dosent look like youve paid bro, wheres ya star eh? lollercopters

Those squirrels are always getting hit. When will they ever learn?

au contraire monsieur Schick, theres no where near enough getting taken out, we need a full scale 24/ 7 onslaught to keep them down.

As usual, no-one's spotted my clever pun. :)

My friend told me that cats like to eat ear wax. I tried it. They do.

Is it a pun, or a joke constructed around a logical fallacy?

See my response already mentioned somewhere in the midst of all this guff.
But, since you're defending him even though I'm pretty sure he can do this himself, I said, I'm not entering in to a discussion when you make it personal. Calling me a nazi and all the rest of it seemed to be a bit of a rant, and since he's casting aspersions on my character, I choose to ignore rather than getting in a slanging match. My response would have been to take it down to this level, and that would do no one any good.
I have stated my case in numerous posts so again didn't feel the need to reiterate directly to Harry's rant.

I've never attacked your character, or had a violent go at you.
I said the manner in which you have acted is either corrupt or appears corrupt. I never said you are a corrupt person as a character trait, a nazi or anything else. If you want to make it personal you are welcome to, but I'll continue to argue based on opinion and fact, about the topic and the issues and the principals.

I also took the time to address your point(s), and explain in some detail why each was, in my opinion, wrong and furthermore set out what I thought. You in turn refused to grant me the same treatment, instead choosing to dismiss my longer posts as rants and telling me to "get over it" or "move on". Which to be honest, is pretty sad. Maybe its not, its not like a general election or anything, but still.

Also, **on the point of me working for BLB **(not really addressed at Wicksie):
Yes I work there, yes I've defended the shop in the past, will continue to do so (probably), but, my opinion is not based on me working for BLB but on principal. Both of equal treatment for all, and of keeping publicly generated content public, but also not to bow to the interests of third parties. I'd have the same opinion no matter where I worked. Afterall, I'm only there Part time. Its not my buisness or my life.

Lastly:

DJ: Good points, and very concise. +1

Chris Chrash: Appreciate it bruvva.

no hes elsewhere..........

He's his own person.

Is it a pun, or a joke constructed around a logical fallacy?

It's only a pun.

Josh, shut the fuck up...

Why should he?
His contribution to this topic is way more valid then that post of yours. If you aren't going to take a position and argue it, then leave people alone who will.

The gold star system is not one I agree with.

A few observations

• BLB is an established business, and whilst I am aware of the "they were nasty to me, burn them with fire" threads I don't think there has ever been a suggestion that it has hurt their business
  
• Likewise, I would say that Rapha give not a gnat's farts worth of concern over "Rapha in expensive but nice shocker", I would suggest they might actually appreciate it
  
• Foffa is, largely, an unknown- and right or wrong an unknown business is one that most people would Google. I can see where Wicksie is coming from in wishing to give Dani (who seems a reasonable chap) a decent shake of the sauce bottle after Hacked2 (whom I personally dislike, it is true) did his best to ruin the Foffa name.
  
• I can see why Harry is upset here, although there is an element of fake indignation which is coming through fairly strongly- but fair enough, partisan support of your shop/team/whatever is a good thing most of the time
  
• Yes Wicksie has received a frame, there is a conflict of interest if this was ever, at any point some impartial bastion of morality, but it's not, it's an Internet forum. I'd say her reasoning is well documented through this thread- and when she says that random Googlers would read through it I think she is quite correct. So, I'd say leave this thread in Darknet, give Dani a chance, but by all means be frank in the public sections of the forum.
  
  

This is not the LFGSS equivalent of Watergate.

I'll water your gate if you're not careful.
