I left the bicycling mag forum cuz there were just some really obnoxious folks there. They actually deleted me against my wishes from their 'club' on bike journal, cuz I wouldn't give them my mileage, and one fellow in particular, who often posted about how good his wife was in bed was obnoxious to me, so I came here. A lot of that 'bikeporn' crap was posted there too. It doesn't bug me that it exists, but I have no interest in viewing it. I log my miles on BJ, but don't hang out too much since their policies are too politically correct for my liking. There was a recent discussion if a link to the Onion should be deleted as offensive. PLLLLLEASE, we are all adults with a range of political views. TE strikes a happy medium, we all agree for the most part as to what is offensive and inappropriate.

I try to be as offensive and inappropriate as possible.

I believe I'll have another cookie.

Confession time: My sentiments precisely. Early in life, I developed an obsession with porn. I was exposed at a young age to the Playboy's that a friend's dad had. I struggled with this well into adulthood.

But, I see it as a non-productive obsession. This is one thing that draws me to this forum...it is safe and does not even remotely trigger flashbacks to past addictions...and it is an addiction the same as alcoholism.

Scripture says: "All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body."

I personally don't want to be exposed to this either.

For the record, I checked out some of the other forums...and they're not the same. I hope that you are knowing that I'm not trying to change the chemistry, but I enjoy my occassional visits...

"bike porn crap"


I thought "bike porn" was just pictures of pretty bikes? I'm so naive...

On the 'other sites' bike porn are those pictures of naked women sitting on bikes...............

Again, its not that it morally offends me, it just doesn't interest me, same goes for hearing about the sexual exploits of the male members.

i just gained 5 pounds, thank you very much

Did I mention that this is another reason to support TE?

Now if we could only become donating members here. Or can we?

i think we "donate" by buying.. which reminds me... there's a couple of things i want to order before they are gone!

(oh.... someone else already said that!)

[IFjane]

I consider myself fortunate not to have experienced anything like some of you have - but then, TE is only the second forum I have ever visited. The first was Terry - no problems there either. I met jeannierides over there and she told me about this one. I've been here ever since.

Thanks, jeannierides!

(I just ordered something from the TE sale pages - yay!)

I just drooled for the 200th time at the castelli orange jersey on sale for $99.
sorry, I am just too cheap to spring that for a 5th orange jersey!

[caligurl]

ok.... link, please? (not that i have $99 to spend on a single jersey... AND orange would clash with ruby!)

i'm not telling which ones i'm looking at cuz i don't want you all to buy them before i order them!
