I guess we again just agree to disagree. I have a long track record in my life coming up with better methods or products that were outside the accepted norm.

But oh well, I am far from perfect, and have yet to meet a perfect person. AND, I will never lower myself to personally attack others. Just below me. Question them, yep, but snowflake them, no thanks, I have better things to do.

I did ask you some questions in the velotron tread about bike fit. Since there are SO many threads about crank length, sure seems like it is a topic that is far from having a single answer.

I have no personal brand other than when folks say things are, and have to be a certain way, I just like to ask why. It is their choice to go nuts and attack. Is a glass half full or half empty?

Do you have a date for Rocklin yet? Would still be great to do a race together and you can kick my butt and ST can celebrate. :)


BWAHAHAHHAAHHAAA! That's fucking comical coming from you. A good engineer, when troubleshooting a problem, would note the one variable that all these other issues have in common and surmise that the common factor is the root source of the dysfunction... but no ~ in your mind, you're still right and all these other independent actors are somehow still full of shit, every one. Same as it ever was.

The self-delusion is strong with this one.....

But go ahead, carry on.

I haven't been paying too close attention to this ongoing saga, but, did I see that Dave is now using "snowflake" as a verb?

ST is not a mirror for society. Go to a fast food restaurant if you want to see a mirror of society.

ST is more like the pool that Narcissus stared into and could not leave because he was so infatuated with himself.

He may be the first person I've ever seen to use a word both incorrectly and ironically at the same time.

Is there something posted somewhere that one cannot talk about things one uses?

I returned to ST seeking a refuge from the news these days. Everything in the news and on my social media is so contentious with meanness, stupidity, science denial, fake news, and righteous indignation.
So I return to ST and see a thread on crank length, a topic on which I have an interest and might have something to contribute. And what did I find in that thread? Meanness, stupidity, science denial, fake news, and righteous indignation.
I guess the only refuge is to be off line.
Sigh,

My only comment is that I don't really see how this forum can be a "mirror of society" b/c most of our habits are so far, far removed from the average person. The "average person" considers a 2-mile walk, maybe 4 days/wk, to be plenty of exercise, vs an STer who would consider those walks simply stretching the legs, at most, and would go on to do their regular 2 hr or so training for the day, obv involving S, B, and/or R at a consid higher level of effort from virtually all walkers, excepting race walkers. In sum, I can not see how ST can possibly be a "mirror of society" in general.

According to whom?

Your observed behaviour, especially your inability for real self criticism (I realise you stick in fake self critical comments from time to time) make this a meaningless claim for me.

To be fair the sentiment is more when this guy joins a discussion many people in this thread think it is better to stay away from that thread.

I noticed the sheer volume of replies on that seemingly innocuous thread; saw the OP and realised why. No doubt a slew of people feeding the troll. May take a look now ;-)

ST as a mirror for society?

I didn't know that the average ST member was at least 100lbs overweight, drank 8 Mt Dews per day, and hasn't moved off the couch from their Netflix binge in the last 10 years. Not to mention the furthest their body ever travels is to and from their car and into the scooter at Walmart.

Yep, most folks have lost the art to be able to debate.


Indeed - debate, discussion and discourse is how we learn. It's how we collectively move forward.

These days, many people come into a debate or discussion with their feet REALLY dug in. Having a position on something is OK, BUT, it's important to listen to what the other side has to say - their may be something valid in what they have to say.
