got a private message

[guest1]

interesting feedback ... gave me MUCH food for thought and i appreciate your input! yes, some things may be better in a PM ... i can accept that.

as far as what i initially wrote to get such a vicious attack, it may not have set well with everyone, maybe it even killed the thread. if it did, then another thread needs to be started. opinions and new threads -- that's what makes life interesting.

I've had my share of those types of emails... oh well, they don't know me and I dont know them so I don't let it get me upset or angry. I don't always respond and sometimes I do and I guess it's better private then being attacked in public which has occurred as well. Either way doesn't feel good. As I tell myself, let it go.

For what it's worth...I just read the sidewalk thread and I don't really see anything terrible with what you wrote. It's an opinion, big deal, wasn't attacking anyone personally or worthy of a mean PM if you ask me. (which nobody did )

Yeah, what Lisa said! I saw nothing horrible there either.

Im with Snap and Lisa. Should I say this.....I though it was funny (put it down to a warped Aussie humour gene).

OK nobody PM me Im the sensitive type.

In my opinion it crosses the line between expressing one's *own* opinion about riding on sidewalks and declaring that anybody who does not share that opinion is, therefore, not a cyclist.

I just read the sidewalk thread, and I did not see anything wrong with your reply. As a matter of fact, I looked for a second post thinking perhaps that was the offense one.

That being said, I think that if someone had a beef with something that I posted, I would rather have them address me privately, instead of publically in the thread.

Just my two cents....
