Commuters

you raging hypocrite TJ.
You distort peoples posts,
You disrespect other people’s points of view
You bully other posters
You patronise just about anyone on any subject
You’re a fantasist and a self-righteous dagnut.

Anyone want a cuppa?

*And sits back.*

TJ, you’re an easy target, people are lazy and often not imbued with great comedic talents. Deal with it or stop taking it so seriously.

Its often directed at you purely becuase you’re easy to caricature or parody and you’re always on here.

Nobody snipes at me becuase frankly I’m a boring nobody.

Blimey Nora another ranting thread about commuting ! Lol.

You guys need to lighten up. Open your mind and appreciate the fact that these slower riders are still riders, they are all trying to do the same as you, they are all potentially one less driver on the road trying to run us over.

I commute 30miles in/out of city most days and it happens lots and occasionally I will be that slow person, I sometimes position myself next to or beside a rider simply cos I also don’t want to be beside the front car, I want to be in front of him so he doesn’t kill me. Make sure there is room behind you at junctions/lights so that we all have space in front if cars as far as possible. If your Chris hoy fast then position yourself out from the curb enough that others know you think you’re going to be fast.

… And i agree it isnt a race but i do get the idea of wanting to be fast! But it isn’t a race. Take some chill pills!

Stoner, don’t sit on the fence, say what you really think…..

Nice justifying of your malicious and unpleasant behaviour. I have repeatedly asked you to stop both on and off forum but you won’t. Why can you not understand it is not funny?

If you post the way you do and can’t accept piss-taking and being challenged, it’s your choice to come on here.

So its all my fault for having opinions and daring to defend them in the face of your superior knowledge. I don’t pretend to be anything but what I am.

No, it’s you consistently putting yourself across as the authority on many topics without any basis, and me and many others challenging you.

You have succeeded in having your lies about me accepted as the truth. well done

🙄 you thoguht about professional help with your paranoia?

I hope you are really proud of yourself.

I really hope you grow some.

Again I wonder how much of this is road positioning? I see these people but they never bother me – At a traffic light when stopped I stop away from the kerb / in the middle of the lane / leaving space for otehr cyclists / at the front if at all possible – this leaves space for other cyclists on my inside and means that I can pull away from the lights and overtake them

Is this because you’re in a car TJ? 😉

As harry hill would say………ffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhttttt!

You don’t get this nonsense in amsterdam
I think the complete lack of men in lycra helps considerably

ooOOoo

+1.

Plus, you can usually spot the ones to avoid as they have ‘HUMP’ written on those luminous yellow back things.

Pretty much what I do. It’s manners too – first to arrive at the front should shift over to make way for more cyclists who have filtered through the traffic.

No, it’s you consistently putting yourself across as the authority on many topics without any basis,

This is one of your repeated lies

I do not pretend to be anything but what I am. I do not pretend any authority. I have opinions and knowledge based on my experience. I will defend my stance, I will and do happily apologise when shown to be wrong

……it is not funny?

Oh but it really is 😆

TJ – have a look at your post on this thread….

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/cycling-in-germany-1

… and at the subsequent responses.

You have to admit that you did wade in a bit, with an opinion based on limited experience and a quick google search (it’s the STW way after all). Extrapolate that a little and try to see how it might come across.

….I will defend my stance…..
….And once again the attacks come in….

All this talk of attack & defense makes it sound like you’re at war with the world, not good!!

….You really are a sad lot….
….your malicious and unpleasant behaviour…

and you always feel free to pass judjement fellow forum users 🙄

You know you have trouble with textual exchanges, so why not try being slightly less dogmatic, condescending and insulting in your postings and maybe people will take you a bit less seriously, or not 😆

Insulting???

Insulting???

Well I find the constant use of ‘grow up’, ‘sad’, ‘FFS’, ‘bullshine’ and other TJisms insulting 😳

T Jisms

a little bit of sick in my mouth there.

Yes, I noticed that unfortunate juxtaposition just as I posted 😈

Personally I think the TJ effect was ruined when he admitted that he posts for effect and then uses the ‘TJ defense’ if caught out.

Up ’til then it was always ‘benefit of the doubt’ that he really meant what he posted, now we know it’s just fishing/trolling the gloves are off I reckon 😆

Meanwhile, in Scotchlandshire, an Englishman sits in front of his keyboard….

I’ve actually changed my Bristol commute route due to the increasingly bad behaviour of other cyclists. Do some people need an Advanced Advanced Stop Line?

Rather then a congested, stop-start, 3-mile scramble (which includes 31 traffic lights/pedestrian crossings), I now take a slight detour using cycles paths, side streets and only 1 set of traffic lights.

Much better for stress levels, and babyfish gets a safer and more pleasant commute to nursery too.

I have never done this, never said I have done it, never will do it

This is one of Cynic als lies that people have accepted as the truth

I do and have overplayed my hand for effect but I have never ever done what cynic al has accused me of which is being serious on a post and when caught out claiming I was in jest. Thats what cynic al labelled ” the TJ defense” and it is an outright lie

And with that chaps – so long and thanks for all the fish.

I’ll miss the good folk on here but I can no longer tolerate the malicious few who delight lying about people and mocking and belittling them to prop up their fragile egos.

I am sick and tired of the casual bigotry that is tolerated and the way that anyone who does not follow the consensus is treated.

FLOUNCE!

ETA until de-flounce?

I did not coin that label though I am one of many who has used it.

Oh and you’ve admitted doing just that in the past.

£20 on 5 days.

Well I go skiing for a week as of tonight, but bet TJ is back b4 me £20 for me on that.

Ladbrokes are offering 4/1 on 6:30pm tonight.

What I research and present from google is fact. However anybody elses google searches and research are jibberish I tell thee. 😡

Hi…..

….. what’s wrong with Altura jackets?

It’s a f……g complete wind up. Even had guys who I’d overtaken more than once but caught me up at red light amble in front of me only for me to have to overtake them again once on our way. It’s ignorant, rude, selfish etc. There’s always faster riders out there so why hold them up? I’d hate to be the one holding up a faster rider but these twunts don’t seem to care. More than once it’s crossed my mind that as I overtake them, should reach over and give a gentle shove…but thankfully have never done so despite the red mist!

If this is a general attitude, then please do not leave the cotton wool surroundings of you comfort zone, poppit. You wouldn’t last 5 minutes in the big, bad, rufty tufty world where the big children play. 😆

TJ who?

I know my place 🙂

Teej, I’m sorry mate I expect more of you, these insults are a challenge. You just need to deal with them properly, I for one will take the mickey mercilessly when you come back, and you should return fire equally jovially.

I love the way TJ flounces off, everyone pauses, looks around for a sec and goes “anyway where were we” and just carries on.

Perhaps TJ wishes there were men throwing themselves upon their swords and women throwing themselves upon the fire.

I have never done this, never said I have done it, never will do it

don’t remember the medical professionals shouldn’t listen to parents of sick children thread do you?

or the Uturn on the Fedora eating

at the end of the day it’s all just nonsense in cyberspace, if we worried about such things wouldn’t we all have sensible id’s?
