Default Please Call Me Dumbass Again Kurgan

Please would you could you see your way clear to using one of your vast array of witty and
epigrammatic put-downs? I relish the prospect with a quivering heart: should you not do this
gratuitously, just name a subject about which you wish to be embarrassingly incorrect. That should
engender sufficient frustration for the insult you direct at me to be authentic.

In fact, to save time you do not need to name a subject: all subjects meet the criteria.

I am calling you a liar.

Your reaction here (and elsewhere) is completely out of character with the person you claim to be.
You act more like a student that has recently acquired Usenet access (and I won't go down the road
of the other attributes). You were angry and adolescent from your first article until this one. I
don't care if you grow up or not, but please don't think that you are fooling anyone.

Keep putting yourself out there as a target, or go away. It is your decision. Try doing it with a
smile though.

That is all for now.

Dumbass -

OK.

Thanks again, for being stupid enough to be ripped off by Bianchi. That crap frame you bought cost
about $30 in material and labor, with maybe another $30 for painting and shipping. The many Euros
they made off that sucker deal undoubtedly went a long way towards treating us bike racing fans to
some bodacious summer entertainment.

What would this summer's Tour de France have been like without Jan Ullrich?

Thanks to Bianchi, but thanks more to you, The Enabler. Us bike racing fans here at rbr
are grateful.

You know, Kurgan is not alone in his application of that salutation. But I would never use it. No,
no, not me. I would never call you a dumbass.

I'd call you a *NAZI* dumbass.

Little Nick,

This is so disappointing. I asked to be called Dumbass and you were very obliging but did not quite
manage it. "Liar" is nice though: it has an uncanny ring to it. Oooh!

I do hope the "for now" does not last too long.

Well Kurgie,

That was a pathetic and predictable reply. But we are getting somewhere: you at RBR do agree that
Bianchi "rip off" people. Would you put that on your site?

What are you trying to do with this post? Since it has nothing to do with bike racing, or even
bikes, and your previous post about your broken frame seems to have run it's course so I don't
understand what you are trying to achieve with this post.

I guess that you are trying to start a confrontation of some kind, but that seems to be a total
waste of your time. Don't you have anything more productive to do with your time?

I should state that I wasn't against you in the Bianchis debate as I don't claim to understand EU
consumer laws.

That's nice Bob. Why NAZI in particular?

You are a little off topic.

Dumbass -

When I buy a lightweight frame, I consider less reliability as something that comes with the
territory.

Can't have the best performance (lightness) and the best reliability in the same frame. The two
qualities are not compatible. Racing bikes are skewed towards performance (lightness) because that
is what the customers demand. If you want reliability, buy a non-racing commuting bike. Those are
heavy and designed to last.

You, and many other members, have a tendency to be a bit caustic but most move on other topics
on other days. Justin seems be at another level. I hope that he is OK, and finds what he is
looking for.

Across the globe there are people that got the reference to Godwin's Law. But you missed it.

Now why do you think that would be? I'll give you a hint...
