Okay, minor rant coming...
I really wish posters would keep their political opinions to themselves because sometimes I read someone's posts and I think "Hey this person seems like he/she has interesting stuff to add to the CYCLING forum, I like their writing style/humor/perspective on CYCLING... And then the person starts talking politics and it totally changes the way I read his/her posts.
Of course you'd say, and you'd be correct to say it, that if the political opinions the poster expressed were akin to my own, it probably wouldn't irk me a bit. True.
But when people get into politics and/or religion in an otherwise a-political/non-spiritual thread, it's like begging for the cyclists on the forum to take sides and divide into groups of christian cyclists, republican cyclist, democrat cyclists, green party cyclists, socialist cyclists, American cyclists, European cyclists, Aussi cyclists... I think you get my drift.
Thanks for reading this probably completely irrelevant and inane post, atleast I've put my two cents in and now will be able to resist getting into a political debate on the cycling forum.
Happy peddlin',
