I'm not confused on disc brakes; the sum writings of bike mechanics can be covered in a day or two. Stuff my pops and uncle taught me by age 8. I'm asking you what the dispute in the thread was? You're the only one holding hands right now. Glad it only took a couple of days to get it all out.
Where's the next Jamboree?? Your treehouse or over at Semper's
Dib, dib, be prepared and all that![]()
In case you did not notice I was posting in the thread yesterday and it had nothing to do with you.
Today you somehow made it about a clique which really was cute on your part. Let me know if you will be in the need of a safe space or a safety pin.

Sad that this was the outcome.
What in the world is really going on? How can this person / member cause that much trouble and still stand tall?

Complain about me here then claim indifference when an explanation is offered. Gotcha.
obviously, i had finished packing for our flight out south west tomorrow if i found the time to read the thread i NEVER visited before - about the disk brakes. the reason i read it was b/c i wanted to UNDERSTAND the fairness of banning blutto.Semper Fidelis said:Explanation = The Vortex site.Giuseppe Magnetico said:Semper Fidelis said:Magnetic Vortex is not that interesting to me.

what's your belief is your sovereign business and right...what the the mod - any mod! - was supposed to review BEFORE injecting him/her self into the thread was obviously you chose (or could not) read. again, pls do so. i have not made any statements up everything was based on the actually (and still available) posts.are you saying you did not bother to read what i said as clearly as it could be ?mrhender said:Are you saying the ban had something to do with Magnetico being a former mod? And by bias meaning KB somehow was influenced by this?
I wont comment on the specific case, but I will say that I think KB is strict but with excellent integrity and morale. Just my opinion.If he even knew about magnetico former handle, I do not beleive that had any influence on the ban.

what i learned was quite surprising and not reported by ANYONE here.
1. turns out, magnetico was a mod here under a different handle (his own admission still standing)
2. turns out, magnetico admitted banning blutto previously (i pass no judgement but relay a fact )
3. turns out, magnetico freely goes in multiple posts about the blutto former ban w/o being told by any mod (of course i talk of what i saw in public) that it was strictly off topic to do so. imo, sounds like bullying with the awareness his back was covered.
4. turns out, magnetico's biggest problem was that blutto thought his, magnetico's, incessant, multiple (and still well documented) contributions in the thread about the disk brakes might have been market biased. again, i pass no judgement as to whether that is true, but having in mind the enduring lordship of the thread by magnetico - he's by far the most prolific poster in 'his thread - it would be by no means an unreasonable assumption.
5. finally i saw the new mod king boonen getting involved in defending a former mod who just bullied the banned blutto. specifically, he calling those supporting the blutto view (aphro...) to fall in line. i saw none, i repeat NONE of the public warnings directed at magnetico who - no doubt - engaged into the personal jabs and personal bickering no less than his detractors (magnetico resorted to mental instability references etc) in a thread about forking disk brakes.
if i ever saw a more biased modding on this forum, this one would be among the tops...
again, i perfectly understand the dynamic (no single mod determines a ban)...btw, magnetico threw that very beat up phrase at the blutto face after he was banned some time in the past after an argument.
does not sound like the exemplary case for the new mod nor the magnetico dude. nor do i defend blutto.
just putting some details out for those who may want to consider them.
you just confirmed almost every fact-based suspicion i had...Giuseppe Magnetico said:python said:obviously, i had finished packing for our flight out south west tomorrow if i found the time to read the thread i NEVER visited before - about the disk brakes. the reason i read it was b/c i wanted to UNDERSTAND the fairness of banning blutto.Semper Fidelis said:Explanation = The Vortex site.Giuseppe Magnetico said:Semper Fidelis said:Magnetic Vortex is not that interesting to me.

1.The name change was approved by the mods. Other people have tried mightily to accuse me of a sockpuppet. You should waste their time with that and report is as such, it would be much appreciated, and funny as hell.
2.He was one of the hardest to babysit when I was modding, apparently that hasn't changed. Admit, sure. Facts are facts.
3.Turns out Blutto's only real reason there was to troll. You didn't like my response to him, oh well. I'd do it all over again because he wasn't there to talk about disc brakes.
4.Turns out you don't know how to read. I report what the market is doing and I have no influence over it. Yer dawg attempted to base his entire argument on a couple meetings I was in 20 years ago that had nothing to do with disc brakes at all.
5. Your perception about bullying is a bit...off, and you're not being honest at all about what went down there. At all. Good thing the world has enough lawyers, you'd be terrible at it.
