Your statement equating the death of a mountain biker with that of a chipmunk is duly noted.

C'mon, fess up...this is all an act, isn't it?

It's called "compensation": mountain bikers don't care about the death of wildlife, so ....

If you find us so insane and savage, what is the point of writing about your critisims on a mtb messageboard? Do you think it makes a difference if you wrote this or not, are you hoping to convert every mountainbiker who read your stuff. I agree with you on one point; no bikers on hiker's trails but I think that must be just about it.

Go bug another forum!

Let's get this clear: do *you* put the death of a mountain biker on the same level of tragedy as the
death of a chipmunk?

BTW, I'm not a mountain biker (or a biker of any kind), and I couldn't care less if a snake
gets run over.

Where else? This is where mountain biking is to be discussed. Too bad mountain bikers don't have the
guts to tell the TRUTH about their selfish, destructive sport.

Do you think it makes a difference .if you wrote this or not, are you hoping to convert every
mountainbiker .who read your stuff. I agree with you on one point; no bikers on hiker's .trails but
I think that must be just about it. . .Go bug another forum!

What are you afraid of?????????????????

No, of course not! Chipmunks are MUCH more valuable to the Earth than mountain bikers. Mountain
bikers are FAR more destructive than a chipmunk could ever be! And chipmunks are far cuter than
mountain bikers. In fact, I can't think of anything good about mountain bikers, except that they
sometimes self-destruct.

.BTW, I'm not a mountain biker (or a biker of any kind), and I couldn't .care less if a snake
gets run over.

Remember ... compensation....

Mike,

Where did you find this old post to regurgitate? This is months old, not weeks, but months. And, you
are just as wrong today as you were then.

This troll is equipped with an information diode, so no information can possibly flow towards him.

He is impervious to new ideas, and believes himself to be the source of all knowledge and truth.

On the plus side, I think he exemplifies about 50% of the chapters in the DSM IV.

He doesn't need to write material, does he? After all, you're still arguing with him, aren't
you, moron?
