I'll stand by a previous observation of mine - it's very very very cliquey in here. That seems to create a lot of arselicking of certain members, and I reckon it's why you're in the st if you upset the "top table".
Certainly puts me off posting in here or even attempting to bother with a NW rideout - not that I could possibly keep up with or ride to the prerequisite standards it would appear.
I'm going to pick this post, because at some point in the not too distant past, you got all offended by something I've written. I can't even remember what it was and tbh don't really care. I could've picked plenty of other posts too, but it's a shame that you avoid NW ride outs as a result of stuff on here. t if you upset the "top table".Certainly puts me off posting in here or even attempting to bother with a NW rideout - not that I could possibly keep up with or ride to the prerequisite standards it would appear.
Just to be clear. I'm blunt on here and I am in real life too. I say it as I see it and if something is BS, then I will call it. However, I'm not angry most of the time. People should stop reading my posts in an angry way, try reading them in a camp Kenneth Williams (if you remember him), or Alan Carr amd you'd see a different meaning to them
As for the "fast rider" stuff, then few people on here are truly fast. I'm not slow, but I'm far from being fast on road or track, but I enjoy having a go at it. A lot of the talk around that is messing about and people need to see that.
I'm also an excellent lover and regularly shag top supermodels.

Probably just jaded long-termers, out to throw their weight around occasionally, and often wearing the rose-tinted spectacles of how good it was back xx years. The backslapping and self-affirmation, often through forming around 'other' groups to complain about, is just typical forum/life stuff, no? See the thread title for exactly that sort of thing.t if you upset the "top table".Certainly puts me off posting in here or even attempting to bother with a NW rideout - not that I could possibly keep up with or ride to the prerequisite standards it would appear.

Agreed. Cliquey as a cliquey place - more so really than any other forum on PH that I've come across...and I say that having been on PH since 2000 - jeez where did 15 years of my life go
I thought the footie forums were the worst.I've met a few off of here and have nothing bad to say about any of them.
Reading stuff on a screen can be very easily misinterpreted both in what has been written and how it comes across.
I would happily go on a ride out with anyone from here if I had a roadbike.
It's partly because there are some people who will like clockwork show up in every single thread for no other reason than to inform the OP that he/she is lying/inaccurate/a /can't ride for st/knows nothing/has asked a stupid question. And if not the OP then someone else.
PH is open to the whole world. That's a lot of exposure to a lot of people with a vast range of knowledge. Is the intention to single handedly correct them all? Just get a lazy billion people up to speed on the finer points of all things biking? Perhaps they sit up until all hours surrounded by empty red bull cans, hitting refresh to trawl for any inaccuracy or inexperience, smashing out a disparaging comment to leave the OP in no uncertainty as to how crap they are and then recline with their cock in their hand to marvel at their own acerbic wit and superior knowledge. It must be very hard on their keyboards. And cocks.
Of course meeting people in person is always trotted out as the true litmus test for whether someone is "actually a nice guy" or not, as if anything typed on a forum should somehow be inadmissible as pretty good evidence that a person is actually a tool. Maybe fewer people these days are worried about presenting themselves in the first instance as someone anyone would actually want to meet in person(?)
A massive amount of communication decoding by the receiver is in audible and visual cues. The forum only offers smilies to compensate for this gaping hole it has as a means of communication. It's all very well to march around saying things like "I say it how it is" and "people read my stuff too seriously" but just perhaps you're not putting your message across in way that gives those decoding it, much scope for how to interpret it? Ok, the obvious argument is "I don't care how people understand what I say, I know what I mean." In which case, you might just as well post in Swahili and you could easily have the same attitude, only less people would get annoyed or suspect you're an eternally angry man because will no one will know what the hell you're on about anyway. You'll just be the funny African guy.
If people will insist on attempting to police any and all inaccuracy or lack of knowledge in biker banter, fine. A lot of it is pretty useful and knowledge sharing is ultimately what the Internet was invented for. But at least take the trouble to present it in a civilised manner. Unless you're one of the people from paragraph 3, line 4, I suppose. If someone wants to argue what is actual fact, there is still the fall back position of calling them a, which by that stage will be entirely called for.

Ps very good post RM , very true that tone and sentiment can not always be conveyed in the poster's intended manner , often the case, but perhaps leaving too much to possible " misinterpretation" is the route of many a messy thread ...

Ready Mister (and DogStar) don't like me, but haven't got the balls to say it explicitly. I've met PHers, the s
tty communicators far outweigh the genuine dicks. I'm blunt. I'm blunt in real life. You don't understand that, much as I don't understand people who pussyfoot around a topic. Some of this will be the North vs South thing, some will be who we are and the environment we live / work / socialise in. Personally, I've met quite a few people off here and they will tell you that I'm the same person in the flesh as I am on here. I have flaws, but so what? Nobody's perfect.
What I don't do is bleat on about stuff from months back. There are several posters on here who have effectively turned their back on some potentially good meets due to minor stuff that wouldn't register on my radar, but to them is akin to shagging their wife up the wrong 'un over their bike while they're watching.
I'm not aggressive online, I just type bluntly and then people read it in a shouty way. I've said before, read it in a camp way amd it'll change the time and what you think I'm saying. Read it in a soft Irish accent, or a soft Welsh valleys one the same thing happens. Now read it in a reet Northern twang and it'll sound aggressive, but then all us Northerners sound aggressive to the shy type.
