I went out* and bought an inner-tube. Does that count?
*in the car 😳
Er . . . guys . . . whilst you're all noodling around on this thread . . . THE BIKE FORUM IS ON FIRE!
Yeah it's pretty rad.
I used the abreviation PP for the homophobic insult not as a reference to either Poddy or Panther.
Yeah I misread it as Peter Poddy instead of the pushing poo comment. 😳
Can people see why I never engage (as in discuss) with Drac?
It doesn't bother me so not sure why you have to keep mentioning it.
I for one have complete admiration for the Mods. I wouldn't do it, I'm too lazy.
There are times when I wish they were a bit more heavy handed when things get political or personal but that's up to them really. Their job is, amongst other things, to ensure that nothing gets to outrageous or nasty. As well as legal or likely to affect the mag. This forum is someones property and they have every right to allow people to use its as they (the owners) see fit.
The owners are very tolerant really. I was banned from the old TBM forum for daring to offer an opinion when asked about the magazine. Al right I did have a go at their behaviour at a long distance trial that I had run as well.
Keep it up chaps.
kin ell, it's Sunday, the weather is good, the trails are drier than last week and this has reached 7 pages.
The 4 feet of snow that was there last Sunday has made them gloopy but I walk more than ride these days.

I don't think it was addressed to you, but your response does support his point.
How is referring to the pushing of poo homophobic anyway? Mixed sex couples partake in this pastime, too, I believe.
Extensive internet research does seem to back this claim up...
Perhaps some of the reason mods are not out is because folk like you act like this, that they dont ban you is testimony to the fact they are not as you claim.
Ps dont reply its not aimed at you,its just about you, and you would not want to be a hypocrite 8)
I don't think it was addressed to you, but your response does support his point.
Glad to help.

When did the internet become so dammed puritanical? I think I preferred the old days before Facebook etc, when it was an anonymous and unacountable wild-west. At least that was fun 🙂
These days everyone always seems to be so [i]offended[/i] all the time. Either on their own behalf, or on somebody else's who probably DNGAF about the alleged transgression in question.
Rant over.

True, I will admit to having a rye smile on the ride at the one application to be a mod!!!POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
Will that be one of these?

Perhaps it would make more sense if you discussed it with someone else who has been subject to homophobic name calling, like shirtlifter, shit stabber, bum boy, arse bandit etc. etc.
Yes, anal sex is not the preserve of gay men and shockingly, anal sex is not for all gay men. But you know what? Those kind of names are specially reserved for them. HTH
I keep miss-spelling it don't I ?!? 😳
<mod>
Ok, enough. CM, stop trolling, and that includes replying to this. Junkyard, stop feeding him. You've both made your points, move on. If you really feel there's more to discuss, go start another thread where you can bicker in comfort.
This thread was proving to be a useful place for people to ask questions. It shall remain to do so, or I'll close it and get the hammers out.
</mod>
Isn't 'pushing poo' what rich folk do when they're mucking out their horses? 'Shoveling shit' when the lower orders do it?
Danny, they're both doing the same thing. Just going through the motions.
I think you mods replied more than I did.
Dully noted by all I assume.
Sorry chaps, but there is something i REALLY need to pick up on, namely:

I went out* and bought an inner-tube.
What the Juddering Frack is an 'inner tube' and why, in 2016 would you need one for your bike...... 😆 😛 😀 🙂

I like to think most folk on here bright, actually.
Or should that be 'duly'?
I don't know about ban hammers, but some spelling and grammar spanners might be more appropriate.

Something is getting backed up.
some spelling and grammar spanners might be more appropriate.
That's dyslexia for you.
??? I wasn't responding to JY, I was responding to Chest_Rockwell, because he didn't see how Poo Pusher, even in context, might be homophobic. Haven't been discussing with JY for a while.
And I am not trolling, just because we have a different point of view does not make me a troll. I have been responding to explain my point of view. Always sticking to the argument, not dismissing the other, against a range of other posters. The argument has been coherent and well developed, rather than just repeatedly saying "yes it is / no it isn't". Perhaps the trolling is from those who are happy to disagree but not provide any support for their argument or develop it in any way. You know, goading perhaps. I'd really be interested to know why you think I'm trolling when all I am really trying to do is get people to consider the terminology they use.
Danny, they're both doing the same thing. Just going through the motions.

I don't care if you were talking to the Queen, knock it off. That's all of you, it wasn't intended to be an exhaustive list.

Errr, yes, but it's also got quite a lot with me trying to be a smartarse.
I would certainly be banned were grammar a requirement, its not intentional.
edit:
what's the point.
Sorry, was just, you know, having a discussion. Should we take it back on topic about what a great job you mods do and how grateful we are?
what's the point.
Are you new here?

Charlie, you really are last-wordism personified. Let it go.
Sorry, was just, you know, having a discussion.
That's fine. Have it somewhere else.
Charlie makes a point.
Charlie makes a point.
About what, ego-stroking? I couldn't care less about that, plenty of people have said how shit we are also. I'm simply trying, seemingly unsuccessfully, to avoid a pointless multi-page pissing contest taking over the discussions.
Cos, y'know, remember the days when this sort of conversation was verboten? I don't [i]have [/i]to answer questions, I choose to. More fool me I suppose.

TUBIST!
Reported.
No one was asking you questions until you started closing this down. Ok, so we can take that discussion elsewhere, but what then are we allowed to discuss here?
Cougar has a point.
Anything else.
I'm getting a point.
I'm getting a pint.

Charlie - you sound rather like I used to in a previous life - and take it from me thats not good.
Reported!

Can someone please summarise the 'events of last night and today' as a haiku? Ta.
Gonna screw your mom
Yeah? Medical insurance?

Given that it's been over an hour and clearly no one wants to discuss anything else, can we go back to our conversation?
Superb DD
I love a haiku and was going to give it a go, but there's no way i can top that.
Bravo!
This has been the best thread ever.
It reminds me of the great Tritalk.co.uk forum meltdown of 2006.
Anyway. I think the mods do a good job & I thank them for doing it.
I've only ever reported one post since I came on here (& that was pre hack) which was the one where someone said I apparently had some drugs up me bum, which I found derogatory & offensive. (it's really hard to offend me) The post was withdrawn immediately.
Thanks again mods.

I'm terribly sorry, I had to eat.
Yes you can, start a thread.
Typical, I don't visit the forum for two or three days and miss all the fun - and I can't be [s]ar[/s], sorry, bothered to read all this either. I think I get the gist of it.
Props to DD, solid somethingion, end of thread.
Be a brave mod that closes this one however.
Drac - I knew that and its a term for Chinese food no longer considered polite to say.
Funny how these things change, it was common usage in a girlfriends household, often during discussions about whether there was going to be Chinese food or a curry, or something else entirely. She's half Chinese, her mum is full ethnic Chinese from Singapore. We were once rather late to a friend's wedding reception, another friend, as wee walked in, said, "where did you get to, stop off for a chinky?" Being somewhat flustered at being the last there, neither of us really registered what he'd said, we just stood there, as he then started to try to backtrack in a rather embarrassed fashion. At which point Kim just burst out laughing at his discomfort. The interpretation being we'd stopped for sex!
I guess maybe it's an internal thing, like black folks using the 'n'-word, and gays using 'queer', perhaps?
I dunno, I haven't had a long chat with Kim for ages, next time I do I'll try to remember to ask her how she and her family view the use of the term nowadays.
Right, as you were, carry on.
😀
Why would you be offended by accusations of recreational rectal hide and seek? In as much as, why would you take that seriously?
Genuinely interested
[quote=slimjim78 ]Genuinely interested
Is this something you want to admit in public?
Well done to everyone for keeping this going so long.
Hell yeah!
If someone accused me of the same I'd probably feel smugly adventurous.
Why would you be offended by accusations of recreational rectal hide and seek?
Its not the 'accusation' (why would you frame it as an accusation?) it's the use of the term which is loaded. Poo pusher and similar phrases have long been used as terms of abuse.
FFS!
😆
And with that.
Thanks for the praise and other feedback but this thread has reached critical mass.
