Just curious. Cuz it seems people tend to flame a little freer, and also reveal things about themselves-politics, religion, etc.
Yes–It leaves scars.
Sort of–I remember who the jerks are.
No–It washes off my back.
5 Second Poll: Does what goes on in the Lavender Room Screw Up Relationships in the Triathlon Forum?
Washes off my back. People are entitled to their opinions and I don’t hold grudges just because somebody doesn’t agree with me. In fact, I really like some of the people I argue with over there.
They’re two different things - here I try to help with bike questions and over there I try to help conservatives see the folly of their beliefs!
I try to seperate people’s over the top lavender room beliefs from the normalicy of what takes place in the regular forum. Either way civil banter should be the standard.
Sorta -
Most people fight fair, but others thrive on personal attacks. Then again…I find that also the case in the tri forum.
Really depends if you’re “in” the ST cliche or not…
What’s the Lavender Room ? And what are relationships in a Forum context?
“No–It washes off my back.”
I agree with Casey. Good synopsis.
“Some can carry a dissenting view even if surrounded by contrary facts, and I’m certainly not pointing fingers at Brian or Cousin:))”
Or TT, rb, CG :0)
adjectives on a type writer…
Relationships? You type like a real man, your grammar really turns me on. I know of this really cool hip mall, we should meet up some time. Wear a skirt and no pantyhose.
No- It washes off my back.
I love everyone of those guys. Not “love” love, just brawny, go-out-and-kill-a-defenseless-animal-and-then-have-a-beer kinda love.
In fact, they’re MY Band of Brothers™. 
Seriously, I dig the “arguments” that go on. I agree with the other fellow about the personal attacks, but I can handle myself. And the ones doing the personal stuff better not run into me at a race

Was that a CAKE reference?

Ben gets 20 cool points.
There’s a main forum?
I’m with the other Lavender regulars. Good discussion, no hard feelings, and I’d even buy Brian286 and Cousin Elwood a beer if I met them,…maybe.
What’s the Lavender Room ?
I don’t know.
