And as for anyone that tells someone else to F*** off on a public forum, then they are really, really pathetic.

To be fair Russell, many have lost interest and have been driven away due to lowering standards]

Really? Is this down to new members?

Did I mention members??

This is about bikes not people despite attempts to make it personal.

To be fair Russell, many have lost interest and have been driven away due to lowering standards.

Really?

Many?

Who?

I can think of 20-30 without breaking a sweat.

I didn't ask you to think of them, I said name them.

What you're saying is that 20-30 people have stopped using this site, and that they personally let you know that they're off because they're tired of seeing 'low end' bikes on here?

Hmmm.

Nice white dog shit analogy, really made me smile. Then the arrogant "if you don't think like me you're inferior" nonsense which made me frown.

Pathetic. Really pathetic.

What is pathetic is that you haven't, as always, bothered to read the thread properly before chiming in with your self-important, 'I'm a moderator therefore what I say has meaning and validity' point of view. The whole point of it was that I was asked to express myopinion, not the consensus opinion.

I was expressing that I don't think that low rent, low end bikes should be praised when there are other bikes such as orange clockworks and specialised stumpers than are truly worthwhile rides out there going for a song.

Please don't bother PMing me with your usual patronizing tripe, it is my view and I hold as firm to it as you do your all embracing, all welcoming opinion

As far as elitist, again read the thread. And Russell, if you get offended by one mans opinion in one thread in one section of this site to such an extent as to not want to take part then please f*** off and ride your Raleigh activator into the smiling sunset.

Why don't we just remember that this was a light-hearted thread about a shite bike and one mans view (that is apparently shared by others....)

Blimey :shock: Part of me says not to respond but with such vitriol above I feel compelled to do so.

My opinion has no more or less validity than anyone else and has nothing to do with being a moderator although the latter does mean that it's totally inappropriate to respond to the above in kind. You'll probably think that in itself is patronising. Whatever.

I'll repeat what I've probably said elsewhere - "if you have nothing helpful to say, say nothing". And Pete, your post above offers nothing helpful to anyone although I hope that it makes you feel better because then it has served some useful purpose.

I think I'll move on to something more worthwhile.

Hollister, thanks for your input but the fact that you posted up here within a few minutes of me asking for examples of people that have 'run away', probably doesn't hold you up as a great example

So to call me 'pathetic, really pathetic', 'arrogant' and nonsensical is neither vitriolic or responding in kind is it? Wasn't 'inappropriate' for you to say those things despite your position. I think you'll find that it was I that was responding to your vitriol in kind, not you.

Russell, good on you, not so shy about posting now are you, stick with it and you'll enjoy the place a bit more. I only put the
in to annoy, not an attempt to hide my contempt behind emoticons

More words would be a waste 'cause Pete's saying the only ones that matter.... in my opinion.

But this thread does need more photos.

So many negative vibes. What is wrong with white dog poo?

Great stuff, the whole gangs here now.

For what it's worth the 'stang is still up for grabs.
