Would the other forum be Bike Forums, by chance? I finally gave up on them because of such problems.

I was wondering the exact same thing! I started out there (before I knew about TE) but got tired of the amount of rudeness so came here instead--big improvement!

There is a women's invitation-only bit there, but from excerpts I've seen, it is literally the home of chicks who complain about how TE is nothing but a bunch of godless pagan vegetarian lesbian witches.
(I get a kick out of the fact that the one who posted *that* comment still comes back to TE and quietly hangs out. Guess we're not so bad, after all?)Last edited by KnottedYet; 05-15-2008 at 08:04 PM.

what? We aren't? Oh right, I'm on the wrong forum again. Forgot we're not all vegetarians here.
But seriously, we're a global group who might never meet IRL; Commuters, racers, fixie riders, mountain bikers, runners, swimmers ... all over the globe, all over the map politically and literally. I think we have a common love of sport, the outdoors and chocolate.

the road forum on BikeForum is terrible, but I think the touring and long distance cycling is really helpful. I have also pm'd a few people and they have responded promptly, helpfully, and kindly.

What's wrong with being a godless pagan vegetarian lesbian witch? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

we're a bunch of godless lesbian witches? Awesome! I find it so tedious to deal with the right wingers... am I being inflammatory now? Has anyone planned a pagan naked summer solstice ride yet?

I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of riding a bike nekkid! I don't mind being nekkid...I just can't imagine what sitting on the seat would feel like. Originally Posted by ginny

I wonder what the LBS would say if I showed up to test out seats that way. Originally Posted by Melalvai

And lots of boisterous righters.
Professional Grammar Grinch here!!!
No Fragments pleas.
I have my mail set to tell me whenever "dahon" shows up, and it got me to a "bicycling"forum that reminded me very, very much of a high school boys' athletic gathering. Trash talk and lovely pictures were their idea of a good time (nothing past a PG rating but completely sexist attitude & conversation). Reckon they'd be awfully bored here... I didn't stick around.
Here, on the other hand, my goal is to convert all these pagan Diva-cup worshippers to... oh, I keep forgetting...
Sometimes a very small group can change (for better or worse) the whole flavor of a forum. I love doing that

Ahem, then there are the Bible thumping born again Christians like myself and numerous others.
We all love each other (or at least tolerate, or use the ignore option (which I have never used)) and respect or learn to respect each other and our views. It is fun to see what happens when we all get put in the same bag and shaken up. Interesting.
How in the world did this thread go from a quality forum thread to religion and steak?
Whatever the topic may be, yes, this is a great forum.
