 		The best (or worst) thread evar
If you ever think debate here gets a bit feisty, then you've just got to check out this thread, which starts with a simple post from a guy looking for a cycling partner, and decends into chaos.

NB - It is not SFW (text, not pictures) and contains swearing.

 		...

I'm speechless. This post is absolutely hilarious.

I will never say we get out of control here ever again, cause what we do is nothing compared to these guys.

 		That was the best thing I've read all day.

The guy went from zero to flaming loon in under five seconds. Impressive!

 		Shocked Silly

Wow. Just...wow.

This deserves its own emoticon -- a little flaming cyclist to respectfully indicate a belief that someone is vastly overreacting?

The only way it could be better would be if it was animated.

 		Shocked What a psycho! If all of the stuff he said about the 9/11 attacks and all is even a little bit true, he should be locked up. If it's not true, he should still be taken away to his own personal padded cell... Screwy

YES! YES!! YES!!!

Okay, now, here for reference can be a Work-Safe version of the dialogue:

Searching Far And Wide For Cycling Companion.

Be everything as it may, this transcontinental, international cyclotouriste is navigating to locate a good companion for an extended bicycling tour. Good is defined as---female, healthy, cyclist, with a sense of bold adventure, and the willingness to be compatable on an extended world tour with yours truly.

Starting time is---not any time soon.

Route is---to be decided by those on tour---you and me.

Length of time is---to be decided.

I be fifty-three, healthy, six feet, 180 pounds, good looking but nothing to get all up in the air about, blond receding hair, green eyes, university grad., writer, teacher. Can work in exotic locations and have done so, easy to get along with, adventurous, survivor, world traveler. Have bicycled thirty thousand miles through nineteen countries---USA, Canada, Mexico, western Europe, eastern Europe, former Soviet Union, China, south Korea.

By your description, I'm assuming you are male, but in fact you don't say so. You might want to clarify that specifically. Also, your intentions may not be construed as noble and platonic as you seem to be saying, by leaving that particular fact vague; more in line with a personal ad.


cyclotouriste wrote:
Of course I am a male. Why the negative comments? Looking for a cycling companion of the opposite sex is perfectly normal, healthy, and legal. Besides, if you are not answering the post, why are you posting here on this message? Not noble and platonic? How old are you? Grow up. I would really appreciate it if you would get off and stay off this thread, please.


Mike R wrote:
OP,

Your intentions are quite clear in how you posted this note, my message and the two others are for the would be respondents. But to give you the benefit of the doubt, there is a "travelling companions" branch which may be the better branch to post since that is its main purpose to link up solo travellers together. There - no hard feelings


cyclotouriste wrote:
I have written and asked the moderator to delete your replies. If he cannot delete your replies then I have asked that he delete the post and your replies.

I have just about had it with you internet cowards who are emboldened by anonymity and distance so that you think you have the right to foist your unwarranted horning in on the affairs of others. You people give the internet and its forums a bad name.

I asked you to be responsible people and to mind your own business. Apparently you are unable to control your impulses, therefore, I advise that you remain anonymous and at a distance. You people are an embarrassment. Get off and stay off this post.

No hard feelings Mark R? Yes there are, and I strongly suggest you avoid crossing my path for the rest of your days. Better yet, I strongly suggest you do not let me discover your real identity and location, and that if I do, you are far enough away that it is too much trouble to confront you in person.

You have absolutely no call or reason to suggest what you do here. Your behavior is libelous and cowardly.


KCRW wrote:
cyclotouriste,

After reading post #7 I think if I was a lady cyclist that I would be somewhat afraid to go off on a tour with you, maybe it is best that this post is deleted. To show such anger towards Mark R is unwarranted, as a casual reader of the tt I see nothing offensive in what he posted in #1 and #5.

And I don't mean to sound like a Shocked or anything but people have to learn to get along together, to just go with the flow and not get violent and angry so easily. Just look at everything that is going on in this world that is worth getting angry about and compare that to the above posts on the tt, this just isn't worth anything.

Any ways I hope that you find your partner.

have a good trip.

I did not ask you what you thought. Just delete it. Your answer is just too predictable. Delete my membership too for that matter.

It is not just this Mike R idiot. People like that have come along on every post I have ever put on the internet with their innuendos and libel. I have had it up to here with people like that. I want to disassociate myself from this forum and the people who post on it.


cyclotouriste wrote:
Smile you you Razz son of a Wink . Just delete my membership. Oh and let me tell you something you Razz cowards---You Smile ing well better KEEP hiding behind distance and anonymity you chicken Very Happy poltroons. You people are blithering, no-good, chicken Very Happy cowards. Not one of you yellow bellies would dare approach me in person and interfere with me in this way. I goddamn dare you to come to me face to face this way. I Smile ing well dare you.

Smile YOU


cyclotouriste wrote:
I mistakenly believed this forum was honorable. I now see that it is no different from the rest.

You had better take my advice and delete this thread and my membership completely. I have had it with this kind of Very Happy from people like you. If you do not delete I will do everything I can to come at you IN PERSON. Now get all this off here and let me alone. Smile YOU.

Smile YOU. DELETE MY POST YOU Smile ING COWARDS

FROM NOW ON THIS IS THE ONLY KIND OF ANSWER YOU WILL BE GETTING FROM ME.

Smile YOU YOU Razz NO GOOD LIARS. COME ON CHICKEN Very Happy . INTERFERE WITH ME FACE TO FACE YOU Razz COWARDS.

YOU ASK FOR LOCATIONS BECAUSE WHEN YOU START SOMETHING WITH SOMEONE YOU MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT A DISTANCE. YOU Razz SURE BETTER STAY AT A DISTANCE TOO YOU NO GOOD SONS OF Wink .
I AM FED UP TO HERE WITH NO GOOD Laughing LIKE YOU ALL. Smile OFF. ERASE MY POST. YOU HAD BETTER DO IT OR ELSE YOU HAD BETTER STEER CLEAR OF ME FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TOO.


KCRW wrote:
cyclotouriste,

Why do you even go back to read this post? You know what is going to be there, then you read it an get angry again. And if you didn't respond this would have just gone further and further down the TT till it was nothing more than a humorous anticdote. So you really have no one but yourself to blame.

In the name of all that is holy and good in this world I pray for the safety of the lady that ends up falling for either this posting of yours or the one on the bikeforums board.

Bring it on.

Smile you Razz punk. Bring it on is exactly what I am gojng to do. You go fishing for trouble you no good son of a Wink and that is exactly what you will get. When I say that I have had it with Laughing like you that is exactly what I mean, and you are going to find out what that means too.

And you just remember this too you Laughing . I am the guy who found out in detail about the plans to attack the WTC, the pentagon, and the US Capitol on or around 9-11-01. I have a book in the making right now, and part of it is on the internet. You read it and you will see that I kept those attack plans under my hat because I know about no good Laughing like you and how you permeate American society. It was my opinion that you and people like you need to be taken off this planet. America was attacked because of people like you and because of attitudes like yours. The fact is that even if 9-11 had been nuclear, I still would not have warned you Laughing well enough so that you could have done anything to prevent it. You interfere with me and I will interfere with you in ways that you would never dream possible, except that with a chicken Very Happy like you, you would not be worth the consequences. Offing big groups of people like you would have some meaning, but a no good bastards rat like you is not worth the trouble.

Smile YOU 9-11 Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Hey you Aussie pigs:

I suppose you have been apprised of the fact that one of your compatriots is now in the hands of certain very righteous, retribution seeking people in Iraq. When will you people ever learn to leave others alone?
<potentially offensive graphic description deleted>

There comes a time when the treading upon the rights of others becomes unforgivable, and when the unforgivable must be done to counteract it. I have worked with some Australians in foreign venues, and while I can undertstand that life deals low blows from time to time, if their attitudes were any indication of what we can expect of Australians in general, the world would best be served by a thousand such kidnapping as the one lately in Iraq, and of course by the subsequent ceremonies that usually follow such events.

I entered this forum with a perfectly decent, normal, post, and then people answered it with innuendo, libel, and accusation. I ask that you boycott this forum and the bastards that post on it and run it until they delete my post, membership, and all the replies that these petty criminals made.

This is the simultaneously the most hilarious and scary thread that I have ever seen. In fact, I am just posting now to keep it alive and kicking.

And to think that cyclotouriste originally described itself as "easy to get along with".

Oh, and keep sending me those PMs cyclo, my workmates found them very entertaining.


KCRW wrote:
I was just over at bikeforums.net and noticed his posting there, which you can see here, but as of yet he hasn't threatend to kill anybody. Yet.

I picture his trip:

Miss Innocent: Uh, cyclotouriste, you you like to stop for an ice cream cone?

Cyclotouriste: Smile you Razz punk. Bring it on is exactly what I am gojng to do. You go fishing for trouble you no good son of a Wink and that is exactly what you will get. When I say that I have had it with Laughing like you that is exactly what I mean, and you are going to find out what that means too.

Miss Innocent: Uh, I guess we can keep going then.

Cyclotouriste: Smile YOU YOU Razz NO GOOD LIARS. COME ON CHICKEN Very Happy S. INTERFERE WITH ME FACE TO FACE YOU Razz COWARDS.

Dear cyclotouriste,

It certainly is a pleasure to hear that visionary people like you still make your voice heard. It's about time the silent majority had their sound and sane opinions made public and recognised for that they are, the majority. Most normal, law-abiding and respecting citizens, in their right mind, would agree that you deserve some real recognition for your patriotic duities to America. Allowing information to the effect that the pentagon was under threat to lay low was a noble, self-sacrificing effort for the greater good. The losses of a few (or maybe five) thousand was the wake up call required to make us Americans appreciate the independence and sovereignty of foreign states and their nationals. You're voice is like a refreshing wind in a Heinz baked beans factory. How much does the book cost, I'm on the waiting list?

yours trully,
Muhammed Muhammed Ishmael Al Faez
