Singletrackmag: The award for most unpleasant and deeply hated by the office forum user goes to……

Singletrackmag: Hora!

@singletrackmag?

Hmmm. In some ways I can't say I'm surprised. (About the comment generally, not the reference to Hora)

Congratulations to Dan Carhcart for the grumpiest and yet most entertaining subscription cancellation letter ever. Dan wins the steam off…

…also quite intriguing: wonder what the reason for the cancellation was?

This letter needs to be made public knowledge.

yes, I wanted to see that letter

Is Hora really unpleasant?

He's clearly got some sort of forum Tourretes which means he has to post anything he thinks of as soon as he thinks it but most of the time I just find him baffling.

#horaclangers seems to have dropped off a bit recently too.

Hora

Really? He's an idiot, yeah but I don't think it's intentional and therefore not really unpleasant. There's certainly one or two others ahead of him in the queue

Hora's alright really. Entertaining at least.

There's just a village missing an idiot somewhere. 😉

Dan Carhcart must have written what I was thinking when I cancelled mine.

Hora's not unpleasant – just a bit .. er … forward

backward surely?

backward surely?

probably both
😀

at least he's mildly amusing, unlike that ernie lynch – even if i agree with him he still manages to irritate me (nothing personal whoever you are)

I think Hora's OK. Their comments are a bit harsh, but isn't that typical of ST?

this place is falling to bits. Watching the forum decend into playground antics is fair enough albeit very sad, but STW staff falling to our level??? Personal and public comments about people who support/ed you, nice work, very professional. Not doing yourselves any favours chaps.

doesn't take much nous to make a guess who'd be behind that comment.

Hora might be many things, but 'unpleasant' isn't one of the adjectives I'd use for his online presence.

Now that is quality humour 😆

I was giving the place the benefit of the doubt 😉

Mmm not exactly a professional thing to do, slightly odd to directly insult your forum members/supporters.

…also quite intriguing: wonder what the reason for the cancellation was?

Beards were quite high on his list

personally i think every business should regularly cull some of their customers

I've now got visions of Hora wandering aimlessly away from the herd of stw posters and being tracked by bike journalists with high powered rifles in a Souther Comfort kind of style (but without the zydeco music)

singletrackmag tweets are pretty random though

bang away long enough…

Oi, you misquoted me. I said "baps or barms" (depending on where you live)

i have a beard and a subscription, what should i do???

Cancel it in a explosion of vitriol apparently.

Exactly what I was thinking.

A feed from "The Company" should be exactly that, professional.

they've not insulted their forum members or supporters, just Hora. I like them a little more now.

The thing is with Hora is that he is like a puppy, the more abuse he gets the more he comes back for another slap.

I've said this before, you are either very thick skinned Hora or very thick.

That's not meant as an insult BTW.

Mmm not exactly a professional thing to do

Obviously no-one remembers the webcam mooning 🙂

They're not professional, they're bike journos 😉

Doesn't everyone know about #horaclangers?

Nope, I know little of twitter, how do I get there?

KINGTUT- this forum ticks the box that lets off stress and steam.

If anyone speaks louder than the rest (there are some types on here who don't like that aren't they?) or throws in a silly viewpoint, hes set upon. Hence I'll keep throwing them into the area- it tickles me greatly.

Its an internet forum- why do you folk take its soo bloody seriously? Beyond me. take it for what it is and revel in its silliness, bathe in its freedom from linear-thought! Plus there is the odd subtle-troll skill of course (cough).

Ps. AndyP like your Mother I also love you 8)

Hora basically deserves this accolade

Why is the fact that it is an internet forum any excuse for not respecting the people you are addressing in the same way you would if you were face to face? Or even more accurately face to face with the person you are addressing with a microphone transmitting to the public at large?

That's what we are all doing on here. We are communicating to the rest of the readers as much as we are addressing any group or individual. The same levels of respect and consideration of thoughts and opinions are required. The fact you can't see your audience is not an excuse. The fact this is an internet forum is not an excuse to behave in a way you would not otherwise do. That philosophy is enshrined in the forum rules and guidelines, which I'm currently updating. Soon they will become an agreement that everyone who uses this site must opt in to before they can access this forum or any other interactive part of the site.

And on that note it's probably a good opportunity to highlight one particular rule…

"No posts, including links to other sites that are deemed to be of a sexual or distasteful nature, incite racial or sexist behaviour or are in any way discriminatory and/or offensive towards individuals or minority groups."

This is in response to the increase of sexist and generally misogynistic posts that have been on the increase lately. The moderators have been told to look out closely for such posts and deal with them.

@Mark does "offensive towards individuals or minority groups" cover religious groups or is abuse towards them still except from the rule?
