It should have nothing to do with 'seasoned members' - or any members.

Nor do I think an opening post of that size can be considered 'a serious effort at discussion'.

You may not think it "should" objectively, but subjectively you have no bones about participating.

None whatsoever, and I never claimed to have.

then don't complain. really. the ocassionally passive spells of " i'd obey if they'd tell me what to do" are a bit too transparent.

I was not complaining nor have I said "i'd obey if they'd tell me what to do".

actually you have, to effect, before the fall from grace. several times actually--and i'm not the only one to note it.

No, I did seek clarification on what the vortex is, and why it is deemed ban worthy.
I never got a reply.

I reply to people, I have no problem doing so.
As an example, you came in here to pick a point about me, I corrected you.
If you were genuine you would leave it at that, but you are not.

You are the one now taking the thread off topic.
If you get banned for a month, I will make a good case for you, maybe.

They say that age effects memory. Maybe so. I'm speaking of your persona before ( but during) the time it was saddled with vortex.

I, however, am keeping the thread resolutely on topic in pointing out that those whinging most frequently and recently in the mod thread are equally the most willfully tone deaf.

Speaking of off topic: why would I be banned for a month?

 

[Dr. Maserati]

They say that age effects memory. Maybe so. I'm speaking of your persons before ( but during) the time it was saddled with vortex.

What persons?

I, however, am keeping the thread resolutely on topic in pointing out that those whinging most frequently and recently in the mod thread are equally the most willfully tone deaf.

Who are "those" - the only person you went after was me.

And even then you are doing a poor job of pointing it out.

You may have missed that I have admitted that I troll, and I think I produced a good example of that.
So, I can recognise it and show the mods where it is and what to do to frustrate people who deliberately troll. After that, its up to them.
That does not mean I will adhere to rules that are not implemented.

So, unless you wish to address "those" others and leave me out of it and distorting what I say, I will assume you are trolling me.

You consistently ignore the possibility that most mods don't care what you point out. Why would I address those others?

As to you "those" issue, I don't rate the rest. You learn occasionally.

 

[Dr. Maserati]

Yes.
And?

Why would I address those others?

You keep failing with me.
That is why you have resorted to having to make stuff up. Thats why I assume you are trolling.

Anything else?

 

[aphronesis]

Yes.
And?

I'm not trying to succeed.

Made up what? An intelligent person such as yourself should be able to do better than "trolling".

Carry on then by all means.

 

[Dr. Maserati]

I'm not trying to succeed.

Thats a relief, because you were failing pretty bad.

Made up what?

That I was "complaining".
That I said "i'd obey if they'd tell me what to do"
and your other attempts to "point out" stuff.

An intelligent person such as yourself should be able to do better than "trolling".

Carry on then by all means.

I wouldn't call myself intelligent, but thats only because I am so modest - but its one of the reasons that I give my views to the mods, so that intelligent people like me are not trolled.
I am sure you will stand by me in this honourable quest.

 

[sittingbison]

can you two honourable and intelligent fellows please take this discussion to the members appreciation/depreciation thread...or better still PM.

This thread is for abusing the mods. not each other

Mr. Doctor Maserati - I do sincerely applaud some of your posts. In so far as you are needing language clarification on what a vortex is, my opinion is that their is a significant probability that your posting persona is clueless dickwad, or your posting persona is feigning being a clueless dickwad.

There are an excruciatingly large number of posts in the esteemed Cycling News Forums that discuss the etymology of the word "Vortex". The search functions on this esteemed Cycling News Forums, if used by your personage, may help you in refreshing your memory.

If you need help in searching for the term "Vortex", you may feel free to contact me by the Forum PM functionality. In addition, through the PM functionality, I believe that I may be able to help you in negating the perception that your posting persona is, as the English term is used, "Nitpicking".

If you wanted to go PM, then go PM. You didn't.
If you wanted to genuinely teach me something your post would be a lot shorter, particularly the first paragraph. (Is that me nitpicking, or...)

Cool, you can find some for me - because when I checked it just shows a few people using the term to avoid answering a question.
And my mailbox is full.

 

[Cal_Joe]

And my mailbox is full.

I sincerely regret the sad fullness of your mailbox. In future times when this condition is alleviated and not contributing to excessive despair on your part I will gladly be available to give lessons through the mailbox.

Well, in a few days, Mas will start insulting you again for letting him having carried on in delusional self-aggrandizing form-like an irrelevant hog--for several days, then the thread will be back on course.

 

[Ferminal]

But BroDeal, BPC and thehog have never left

Can't believe you still haven't caught horsinabout.

 

[sittingbison]

who said I hadn't? Sometimes its nice to channel the inner Chance

 

[ebandit]

The groupthink here has become too stifling. Sometimes you have to burn down the forum to save the forum. It is time to bring back BPC. And also thehog.

cry me a river.................mind? i was impressed how you introduced people

disagreeing with yourself as..............................'the death of the forum'

phenomenal!

is it correct BPC checked in and offered yourself their support?

The problem is i have not been appointed a mod yet...all your problems will be solved with a little bit of magic and peace pipe.

I think i spotted all the major skytrolls within 5 posts. This guy is no different than the others, its just Joachim with a village idiot personality.
