Bullshit. Don't try to be a martyr here.

This is strange, EEI, because we had a disagreement once, I think about the use of the word 'feminism' where you wrere very much on the 'white knight' side of the debate. I wasnt just referring to myself. There's a discussion to be had here, there's no point making it personal.

Edit: it wasn't EEI that nerged me during that feminism argument. But my point is I've been on the perceived 'non-PC' side of the discussion too.

You can report posts without making a post yourself, can't you? Then nobody gets to accuse anybody of white knighting from the dizzying heights of their horses and the post is exposed to the harsh gaze of the Supreme Intelligence.

reporting a post is quite extreme though - you are basically saying you want it removed or moderated or something by flagging it to the moderators.
on the other hand it is also not very effective because it is invisible. you're not going to contribute to the general mood/tone of the forum just by going around flagging stuff. you're not going to get any kind of discussion going.

I think I just have a problem with the tone of voice I type in.

There's no need to shout.

Imagine yourself as Homer Simpson when you type.

Imagine yourself as Homer when you type.

Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades. Yet even so he saved not his comrades, though he desired it sore, for through their own blind folly they perished—fools, who devoured the kine of Helios Hyperion; but he took from them the day of their returning.

Like I said earlier, this is a love story, and like a lot of love stories it doesn't have a happy ending.
I got out of the Bronco and the cops moved in. They gave me a few minutes in the house, a chance to freshen up, then took me downtown, to Parker Center. They booked me and took my prints and had me pose for a mug-shot. The flash blinded me, and I closed my eyes for a few seconds.

Hmm, I'm not sure which one has the right forumenger tone.

Ego, qui magnus in profundum et ego non mentior.

Ego, qui magnus in profundum et ego non mentior.

"I, that great in the bottom, I'll do not lie."

Sorry, should have been

Amo magna profunda et non mentio

? bit rusty..

Romans go home.

To be fair, the street is safe at night with the Roman.

that's actually a selfie of what I look like right now.
What's eating you?

oh.

that makes me sad.

I just thought I'd make it clear that you're not a real cake but a person. With post-ride munchies, you never know what forumengers will nibble at.

And if you could please stop posting random shit, thanks. Moderation items only. VB has a headache.

Are all threads and posts being migrated across to Microcosm?

Yes. Right now.

Is Microcosm going to play nicely with elinks?

To some extent, but no promises guaranteed. Virtually no-one uses it.

^ This.

And on word censorship, it's pointless. If I blocked 'cunt' people would eventually just type 'c u n t' and there would be almost nothing I can do.

Censorship filters always, 100% of the time, fail. So it's better just to stop being so childish and let the stuff through and then let the people creating the stuff realise how silly they sound.

Could this thread's title:

be changed to "Singular Osprey & Genesis Equilibrium: winter road bike build"

Many thanks.

Ah fuck, EdwardZ has started turning up again. Any chance of a ban?

AFAIK there's no single post of his that warrants a ban. But in my opinion he's the person who has been the most consistent in spreading bad vibes, second only to Lynchman. Last time he was pestering us I stopped visiting the forum for a good few weeks as there was no knowing in which thread he'd be pouring out his bad karma next.

RIP JeezlynchZ.

You're saying EdZ is an alias of one of the other two? I doubt it. EdZ is smarter, but also a whole lot more disturbed.

A constant element are consistent unclear mentions of Israel or Jews. Last time he was around he kept stringing various world events into some kind of overall Israeli agenda. Global warming you say? Yep, that's the Israelis for you.
I reckon he was fishing for an accusation of anti-semitism, just so that he could come back and claim that he was in fact of Jewish heritage, a sort of "the last laugh is on you" and "... and I am such a complex character". No one took the bait though so this time around he seems more open about his background, but his arguments are all the more labyrinthine and insinuating - as if he is trying to see how far he can take things.

You know there is an ignore function. Use it and be free.
