Just wondering, but what is your reason for coming on this form at all? it doesn't seem like you expect to change anyone's mind or anything? just a bit of moral indignation and ranting(i have no particular problem with it if it is, just curious) ?

I dont think I rant. The only times I post on this forum is in reply to a post that's already there - I dont start anything. Many feel I post too often on the forum, given that my views appear to be at odds with the apparant majority views held by forum posters. BUT, I generally only comment on posts of criminal nature. So, on that basis there are too many posts on this forum of a criminal nature.
Simply ban such posts (and delete them as if they were like other objectionable type posts, porn, bestiality etc) and I wouldn't have any cause to highlight such posts. What do you think the chances of the forum taking such a leap of maturity?

Thats why I used the word "generally" - it wasnt an absolute statement

I think you will agree that both threads were positive in nature - I generally dont start threads of a violent nature. I just respond to such posts. Hope that's clear

ok the "general" thing is lost on you
Do you understand the difference between commenting on the actions of a 3rd party who is not a poster on Boards e.g. some random guy in the States VERSUS condemning the actions of someone who admits or gloats about violent or criminal behaviour on the cycling forum i.e. the various posters whose posts on the cycling prompt my reponse????

well You said generally, to me that would imply nearly all the time. But clearly this is not true

I agree you "sometimes" post on criminal behaviour, but "generally" you post about other things.

I'll grant you that I can see a difference. But you still condoned his behviour and certainly didn't condemn it. Can you see how your comments might be annoying in a cycling forum? or how it could be considered trolling behaviour?

I'm very concerned that my silence on the subject thus far might be taken by some as "tacit approval". To remove all doubt I would like to publicly state that I do not approve of TimAllen, tacitly or otherwise. I condemn and denounce his posts, past, present and future.

I would be grateful if, from now on, the approval (or disapproval) of posters hereabouts was ascertained from their words, not from their silences. This might prevent threads like this in the future, and would actually make sense.

That is all.

First rule of journalism, Pete. Don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

Well thats me done with this. I dont like horse racing and horse riders, I think I'll go and hang around the horse racing forum all day.

Boards are about to get a subscription fee off me. *shakes fist*

Also having not posted I'm concerned by silence will be taken to approve both of violent attacks on van drivers and Tim Allen.

I approve of neither, though I can understand the thinking.

ROK ON

Just to put this one to bed. If I saw Tim on the road, I would be prepared to commit a criminal act upon him and if I have to suffer the consequences of that then so be it.
I am prepared to be a boardsie martyr in the war against Tim.

poochiem

I'm confused; what am I condoning by not posting? Briefly skimming the threads somebody hit TimAllen with a van and he's now arguing with the horseracing forum on boards, is that right?

And because anything worth doing is worth doing well and twice I will happily post your bail to allow you to repeat the offense and later provide an airtight alibi for you for both occasions. The legal costs for all those facing such grievous and unfounded accusations of criminality against Tim will be taken care of by a conveniently established charity, ROK ON STRONG.

I know there's a recession on and all but due to the high numbers that are likely to require representation (and alibi's) I urge you to donate what you feel you can afford this coming year.

been cycling over extended snow period, really pushing the ignitors to the limits at any given chance, to the extent that as lumen says tempting faith, well i can tell you all these 2.35s make their own grit, as it cut me a path like a russian ice breaker.!! Ice,Snow,Slush
Doing 30mph on snow on sharp bends to 20 on the ice they didnt budge, they amaze me the more i try to fcuk myself up.
me and my Dawg D are like a pig in well pig ****e.
but then again i have real tires
if you have girls tires you always have to question yourself about riding out, buy a mtb!;)
And stop asking should i go out on my bike, just go out and try
if you fall get back up and say oh god yeh!:rolleyes:

Eh no our good owl Dublin roads and pathways, no one is walking on the paths in the evening. 20mph+ is easy to hit with these tires, even over snow!!
Haven't been to Wicklow since December so i wouldn't know if i could hit those speeds, put it this way i can keep up and sometimes overtake traffic. much to drivers amazement. !!! commuter race caroline??

mockler007

and before anyone says, no the traffic i overtake isn't stopped in a jam.
and reaching speeds i do isn't down hills!!!:rolleyes::D

Mockler, that "km/h" on your speedo means "Kilometres per hour"
