no posts since 12-24…probably pissed about the dopey thread…notice dopey errr I mean brian286 hasn’t been posting much either.
More likely he went on a two day Christmas brood, then, after regaining his composure on the 26th, read the news, the flew the whole BikeSports Michigan staff to Thailand to help rebuild Phuket.
I’d like to think he’s off on some new adventure rather than being irritated with that thread.
we should petition to get him posting back on here…
that thread has my vote for worst thread of all time…mainly b/c it took away from the quality content of the forum and has seemingly alienated one of the experts that we could ask questions of for free - and get responses we could trust.
he’d be just as smart to start up his own forum on his own web site…
My thoughts also… He probably has friends that were affected and he is putting his energy on that…
Jim
I completely agree. I really hope Tom comes back in the near future. Hopefully, he is taking some time off after the holiday rush and/or doing what he can regarding the Phuket disaster.

Tom in outerspace… Major Tom, very nice.

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Your circuit’s dead - there’s something wrong

And the stars look very different today
Credit should be shared: dopey, Pooks, Guy, ironclm (“I would agree with Dopey. Some of the recent posts are pretty blatent. Maybe a little more time building up bikes that have already been paid for, instead of posting???”), KestrelKerry (“After reading his original post I went and read Tom’s latest comment on the Easton wheels before contributing to this topic. I should add I have met Tom, he’s super nice in person as he is on this forum…HOWEVER, Tom, I would have to say that comment just may well belong in the classifieds!”), randall t(" I know how so many of you feel about Tom,but some just might not feel the same,“), Malk, kreutzer, Viking, Brian286, MojojojoMasterG, HalfSpeed (” Maybe more balance is needed. Notice that Tom’s posts on gear are always positive?"), etc.
Credit for what? Making him leave? Come on folks…be realistic…no one “made him leave.” If he did leave he decides that on his own volition.
So when do i start getting death threats?
You got a funny idea of what a community-even an on-line community- is, Brian.
Until demonstrated otherwise, I prefer to assume that Tom is just too busy doing something else to post. I fear otherwise, though.
I won’t take offense to your comment. Anyone who claims to know what anothers “ideas” are without justification doesn’t warrant serious consideration.
I won’t take offense to your comment. Well, good, I’ll sleep easier tonight knowing that.
Anyone who claims to know what anothers “ideas” are without justification doesn’t warrant serious consideration. And you don’t think your posts here give me any justification for knowing what you’re ideas are? Are your posts that disconnected from your ideas?
This is not directed at anyone,but Toms a big boy i am sure he can fight his own battles,so why are so many getting upset,for him? Peaceful Tribe? Hell i have been told i sucked,asked why i post here,etc
My sentiments as well.
why are so many getting upset,for him?
I’m upset for him, because I think he was treated shabbily and unfairly, and I’m upset for me, because I’m worried that he won’t be posting here much anymore as a result, thus depriving me of his information, insights, and friendship.
