Following on from a few canoeing threads on here, I had a look at the canoerists forum,

http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/42211-Cycling-forums

gosh, they don’t like us do they

Tread carefully around singletrack world forum. …..Its frequented by quite an abusive and obnoxious sub culture.

Keep up the good work 😈

LOL where ?

Its frequented by quite an abusive and obnoxious sub culture.

they’ve been reading the EU thread with all its rabid leftie remainiacs…

like most forums to do with Cycling a lot of Cock bantams with to much testosterone

Poor spelling and punctuation and I bet he or she cannot manual around Cannock Chase car park.

Otherwise hard to argue

I don’t really do forums these days, but I’ve been on cycling ones in the past where the members were so nice to each other it was sickly and cloying. So keep it up.

Great post, virtual high five buddy!

I think ive found the secret to the paddleists geniality

It seems that comments on that forum are rather abusive and obnoxious. I wonder if they can even spell ‘ironny’ ‘ireny’ ‘irony’?

his website has a specific rule that we don’t discuss politics though

WTF – bunch of weirdos….

Ironing

I am very sorry, I did not intend to start a political discussion or hurt anybody’s feelings!

But – I am convinced, there are still more things we all love and share than those who divide us.lol this guy wouldn’t last 2 minutes here 🙂

on a serious note, this forum is way more active than most so is bound to get a bit “lively”. That’s a good thing though, not least because you can post up a question on any random subject and normally get an expert answer before too long!

Cock bantom? That’s weak. I’ll raise them a cockwomble and a ****puffin. Canoeists must be a delicate bunch if they think this place is full of meanies #delicateoars

Maybe they just go paddling together and when they camp up and discover that they have differing political views they fight it out like real men on the river shore and the last one alive proclaims victory?

Second last squeals like a piggy?

Bunch of floating ass-cannons. How dare they!

Although the discussions on here can get heated, I think underneath there is still quite a good feeling of ‘comradeship’ – most of the time it is robust ‘debate’. And other times there is pretty good humour and also support when needed.

it has a point! I’d say on this forum there is an over-representation of 2 key grous:

1) people who argue in the needlessly provocative style of a 14 year old boy

2) people who are overly defensive

Not always a recipe for the most civil debates

Bunch of snow flakes more like, I suspect they only paddle on reservoirs when there is no wind and stay within 3′ of the shore at all times….

it has a point!

Burn him!

Was PUD his name on here too?

You do realise this comment was made 4 years ago?

We’ve all grown up and matured a bit since then, i’m sure.

Mellowed even?

Someone’s calling the entire forum a bunch of male miniature chickens?

I’ve gone up in the world.

Maybe if we stick at it, we could move up a breed, to Cock Butcombes, or something.

No there aren’t!

I flip flop between both of these as required.

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

I’d like to buy them all a coke.

Forum invasion time?

Whats the equivilent to the 29er debate in the canoe world?

I’d like to buy them all a coke.

I can get on board with this.

I’d like to buy them all a hooker.

Stop them littering up the rivers at the weekends…

No there aren’t!

Oh yes we are!

No can do.

I’ve too much respect for the guy who made the Song of the Pedal pun.

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

Oh the irony and three posts to prove their point with sublime irony
Chapeau STW

Last reply was in November 2016. They aren’t really trying are they?

The early adopters on here might remember usenet, that was the Wild West, modern web forums are genteel tea rooms in comparison!
