[Closed] STW Abusive and obnoxious subculture

"I, Ronnie"

Who??? 😆

The guy is right to a certain extent. There are a group of people on here that once they find an opinion they disagree with will keep posting endlessly in an effort to prove themselves right, and then when that isn't working the personal insults will start flying around. You can almost guarantee any non bike related thread over 3 pages will be like this 😉

I find it a good source of amusement and wonder if they actually know how stupid they make themselves look? I think they forget to ask themselves the "am i being a dick" question before they hit the post button 😆

Even funnier are those that point out someone is a troll - AND THEN KEEP REPLYING TO THEM!!!

Even TJ learnt self control. He should offer lessons.

2013.

We've all grown in the last 4 years.

Just check the politics threads for proof.

I think they call it co-dependency in some circles.

Did take him several years of self exile in a Tibetan monastery to achieve inner piece on STW...

Soggy biscuit anyone?

inner piece

Slipped and fell on it while cleaning the house naked?

🙂

That's what he said at A&E...

I had a look on there when I bought a canoe a few years ago (2013?) & found everyone polite & helpful with none of the sometimes immediate slagging/piss taking you get on here. Seemed like nice informative people who were keen to pass on their knowledge.

I didn't last long & sold the canoe without using it earlier this year. 🙄

Song of the paddle is all the beardy weirdy open canoe types. Kind of like a Jones handlebar or singlespeed enthusiast afloat*

Ukriversguidebook is more for those whom shred the gnar, huck their meat off waterfalls etc. Radical gnarpoon shredders, you know, like everyone on here*

*Not (totally) serious. 😉

Yep that's me.

Although to be fair, I haven't actually ridden an MTB for several years now...

Oh my god! That is so unfair. I hate you.

You started it!

It is "I, Ronnie"

This did NOT get enough credit. 😆 😆 😆

(You're all obnoxious and abusive for not giving it the credit it deserves)

Might work if people didn't keep changing their names in an attempt to reinvent themselves or erase past misdemeanors.

All this place needs is a bigger hammer.....

I really don't think we need any more massive tools.

I hope he made his own way there - he's a strong advocate of self evacuation.

A life ban for multiple log ins would be a start.

IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO.

... and to be fair, it was probably a fair observation of the forum back then. We've purged a few problem children since.

We do for repeat offenders.

Post of the thread, genius. Toos even you @perchy

As to the thread title, yes definitely. For all the positive stuff there is around bikes, mental health and illness there is a significant and dark intolerance of religion and political views. STW would be much better if those topics where banned or MUCH more proactively moderated (which it too much work for volunteers so better banned)

Yay, censorship!

Modding is just right imho. (Except for that Cougar bloke; he's a knob 😉 )

The contrary view is that extreme political views must be challenged at every opportunity...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Religion...

Fishy zydeco stew-face is confusing "intolerance" with arguing robustly against the silly thing.

A sort of semi-jambafact, in his usual manner...

I agree.
The fact I consider you to be part of that intolerant culture probably means the balance is about right.

The first STW forum member to go kayaking...STRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet they don't have debates on the paddle forum about Skons 😛

Anyone else remember the good old days of "raiding parties" infiltrating other fora? BM/STW for example.

Should we.....?

I know I'm 3 hours late, but
[i] they don't like us do they[/i]

In a thread of 12 POSTS [b]ONE[/b] person says the quoted balls and 1 [i]slightly[/i] agrees with him. There's only about 6 people in the bloody thread.. Well duh, well done on making a 3+ pager out of THAT! 😆

How old are you CFH?

Get him at playtime Dez

Seven and a narf. 😆

Sure its immature, but some forum raids have been laugh out loud funny.

If we can't be immature on STW, what has the world come to?

it'll end up a seven pager, and conclusively prove said persons point

I had nothing to do with the parrot fanciers forum raid, and you can't prove anything.

Counter view; this place is great for allowing honest and intelligent conversation about various mainstream but frankly bizarre mass held opinions; just because a lot of people think it doesn't mean it shouldn't be challenged with evidence and logic.

This is a good point. But on the other hand; your Mum is like well fat.

Post of the year. Thank you 😆

Milo Bloom. FishingMagic.

It was art.

i once karate chopped Frank Bruno so hard his head came off and had to be sewn back on by surgeons

As a friend once said "STW,that place is full o some right Heid Nippers" 😉

This is a good point. But on the other hand; your Mum is like well fat.

Per Junkyard:

If only they had the gentile way of addressing those they disagree with that you posses

That's anti-Semitism(!)

Unless you meant [b]genteel[/b].

Abusive? No

Obnoxious? Maybe

Correct? Yes. Yes, I am.

One day STW will be a place where middle aged men act older than their kids.

Then we'd end up like songofthetwaddle.net...
