Maybe because mountain bikers are the people sitting in gridlock because there hasn't been a new
highway built in this state for as long as anybody can remember.

I think there is a middle ground to look at when highway construction and habitat collide. I think
we can, and should, look at building highways from the housing centers to the job centers that go
for tens of miles without exit ramps. I think we can, and should, build highways that are raised
over small canyons and gullies instead of filling in these dips in the landscape so the highway
can be flat.

It makes perfect sense to me that when we build new housing centers that are removed from the jobs
by 50 or 60 miles, then we need transportation infrastructure to carry the residents of these
centers back and forth to work.
 
Why are you persona non grata at the Sierra Club then?

I find it amazing that highway projects have been cancelled through public presure in my neck of the
woods and believe it or not, you were not there. As to whether or not anyone was a mountain biker, I
don't know because I didn't ask.

It's been fun watching your nonesense once again, but as I said before, IT SUCKS TO BE YOU.

What else would you build then?

You have zillions of complaints, but not one single solution except to exterminate the human race.

That depends on what the meaning of is is. Of course, Mike is going to present himself as a welcome
member of the SC, yet it is widely known that he was expelled from the leadership of that
organization. It strikes me as somewhat humorous that Mike is too extreme for the Sierra Club.

He's not just a hypocrite, he's also an idiot. I INTENTIONALLY don't have my address match a string
in my sig - just an additional step to keep the spambots away. It does tend to confuse the really
stupid people, who assume everything that they can't figure out is a mistake on someone else's part.
I just consider that a side benefit. :)

Specifically, Mikey was removed and permanently banned from any elected or appointed leadership
position by the national Sierra Club Board of Directors for "Breach of Leadership Trust" or BOLT, in
the Spring of last year. This followed similar action by his local chapter.

Published minutes of SC meetings include this. As is typical in volunteer organizations, actions
involving disciplinary action are handled in closed session, and not fully spelled out in the
minutes except for the final resolution.

He tried to get another volunteer SC member (with whom he disagreed) fired from his job, and that
was the specific justification for this action.

They also considered revoking his Sierra Club membership, but have not yet done so. If he continues
to represent himself as the Chair (or former Chair) of the Wildlife Subcommittee of the Sierra Club,
this could be revisited.

The word from SC Club members who know of him is that he is considered a joke.

Apparently the Wildlife Subcommittee is now defunct.

I haven't poked around here in a couple of years, since the helmet wars. I see MV is still rolling
around the universe. Kind of makes me wish the Bushman would declare him an enemy combatant and ship
him off to Gitmo for 20 years or so. But no..............

I do have two questions:

1. Does MV teach at an accredited institution of higher learning?
2. How many news groups has he been banned from?
