    It only proves that mountain bikers really don't care about wildlife. Obviously,
    anywhere that mountain lions are attacking people, humans shouldn't be!

    Wasn't there a city out West somewhere, where a mountain lion attacked
    someone inside the city?

    I guess we need to evacuate all of the people from that city right
    away. Maybe the whole state, just to be sure.

    Happy trails,

    No. It was minding its own business in a tree when it was shot.

    Mikey is already working on the initiative to pave the surrounding
    woodland areas.

    Is that why he ended his campaign to stop road construction after 8
    years of neglible results?

    We have to pave the forest in order to save it.

    I think he is incapable of comprehending humor. Part of his inability
    to connect with people.

    Certainly when he tries to make jokes, they don't even make sense
    unless you already agree completely with him.

    He does not have a one track mind, he has a one rail mind. All that
    effort, and no real results.

    Well, to be fair, I /think/ he knew I was kidding about Emerald City, and
    his patent "mountain bikers always lie" was /hopefully/ tongue-in-cheek.

    I'm not so sure he perceives humor in the same way as normal people.

    His fanatical obsession with insulting mountain bikers and anyone else
    who doesn't agree with him, constrains his view of the world. Anyone
    with that much hatred for so many people just ain't right.
