Edit: Thanks to Peenologist for the Worst Thread Ever crown.
Edit edit: D'oh! he said Worst Possible Thread, not Worst Thread Ever.
7/17: "was Fight with Gabe" removed from subject line for the sake of beauty, privacy, and security. Representative images added (too bad threads can't have their own custom avatars):
Picked up on OPCC listserv per Bill W; presumably posted today.
I don't know why Active Trans didn't put a warning out about the previous incident mentioned here.

Interesting Howard. Something seems to be missing....
Thanks for your understanding, Gabe.
Allright, fuck it.
Tell you what-- I want to have a thread about attacks on cyclists on Lake street. You can have your very own thread where you call 1/3 of Chicago a shithole and get to fight with people and call them shitheads and douchebags. Happy?
Don't think of rough neighborhoods as a scary, intimidating place to be riding... Think of it as a training opportunity to work on your sprinting.
There are many areas where I would prefer to have at least one ride partner for a regular commute, if I was commuting there. This would be one of them. I feel similarly about some areas between my neighborhood and the Loop.
I'm not sure this type of measured well-reasoned response has any place in this thread.

Howard - i went to bed - and now I'm sorry I did. So the original deleted response was
People shouldn't have to be told that the west side is a shit hole. Hey Bikers, the West Side is a shit hole! ;-)
I feel so much better now ;-)
It's great when people delete their posts. If you didn't want to say it or have people read it then why write it and post it in the first place?
Going back and changing history seems to be for only one reason to me: Not wanting to look bad in the eyes of the rest of the forum. But when it is obvious that someone deleted posts and censored the record of a conversation it looks just as bad to me. it's an admission of guilt.
YMMV
It wouldn't be a shitty thread if James BlackHeron didn't chime in and there he is! ;-)
We officially have a shitty thread! WOOT!
And James - what on earth were you talking about? My post was deleted, I did not delete it. I have no issue with others reading what I say. Something you'd know if you ever slithered out from behind your keyboard. :-)
