The Thread about Nothing....

[matagi]

Ok, this is me in stern Auntie mode, so sorry if it comes across as a bit harsh and unfeeling (it's not intended to be)

Lesson #1 - there are some extremely odd people on the internet .... I think you've just worked that out.

Lesson #2 - if you decide someone is a psycho and you want nothing to do with them, your instincts are probably correct and you should stick to your original decision even if they contact you and want to make amends.

Lesson #3 - psychos are always psycho, they never become normal.

Lesson #4 - life isn't fair and **** happens

Personally, I think it's good that you have been kicked off BF. Why? Because you spend far too much time on there - I think it has become your social substitute. Bad thing, my dear, you need to get out there and start interacting with people.....join a cycling club or just get into a group that does regular rides.

Oh yes, and playing 2 women off against each other will always end in tears.

I know this is a harsh lesson and I know it is unjust, but I'm afraid you'll have to accept it and move on. Forums are not democracies, if someone wants to abuse their moderator powers they can and there isn't anything you or I can do about it. If you recall it was exactly that which resulted in most of us ending up on here.

Yes I certainly did get wrapped up in it but it was an interesting minor tangent in life lets say. Its probably time I entertained a nice local chick just to bring life back to some form of normality!!!

Nev - you can have alllllllllllllllllllllll the BF chicks you want lol Go For it!!!!!!!

Was a little more than a minor tangent in life, kiddo.

As for Nev, reckon his chances were well and truly torpedoed by the mulletfest photos in TAT IV.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's a crap website. DL their catalogue for a better look - it's a Dlable pdf on there somewhere.

Some of the few carbon parts that don't look like a squid has humped a Moray Eel.

Yeah, I can get quite a few parts from various manufacturers. Many of them I can only sell as part of a complete bike for frame+parts package, but that's where the real savings are. For example, those swanky Controltech carbon road bars that retail for 420, I can sell as part of a package for 260.
