Done hating? Join cwlcatcwlt today!

 

 

This is a group that realizes that we all have something in common.  We ride bikes. We can have differing points of view on a vast array of topics related to and completely seperate from biking, but we have at least some common ground and that is a start.

 

A group that understands we have all erred.  We have all been judgmental or harsh or critical or unfair to our fellow cyclists, and that there is a better way forward.  You don't have to be perfect to join, but you should be committed to trying harder.  A group that seeks to find ways where our common ground allows for some unity, and our unity creates power and numbers that advances our common goals.

 

Come and join Cyclists Who Love Cyclists and the Cyclists Who Love Them today, and help stop the hating.  It's time for a whole lot of bike love, and a little bit of unity.

It really has been. I ran a Fidonet node with a usenet feed back in the mid 80s (I'm old) and Usenet goes further back than that. I was on compuserve forums before Fido, but I'm not sure I'd count that as the Internet.

BTW, I didn't mean for my first post to sound pessimistic. I think these reminders give a short-term fix, and in the longer term very small changes in membership can result in massive changes in behavior as the people who enjoy these kinds of fights decide divert that energy to other forums.

i'm reminded of a favourite saying of my Old Dad as it pertained to TV: "It has an OFF switch."

Applied to internet forums in general, if i find things spiralling into flames and slams, i think it's probably best not to read further.

Or, as Twain may have said, It is better to hold your tongue and be thought of as a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey Lee,
Very amusing that the Love-Fest here didn't even make it beyond the initial response to your two clarifications at the origin, and that the thread itself turned into, well, you know. I'm waiting for responses to my "I love everyone who has ever owned or ridden a bicycle and want to buy them all an ice cream cone" thread, but I fear for the worst.

Alas. You can only do what you can do. Plus, I am definitely down for the ice cream. I live vanilla, strawberry cheescake, or hell, if it is ice cream, i will eat it, as anyone that has biked behind me can probably believe.

Also, is this all at once that you are buying them ice cream, or are you ticking folks off as you buy them ice cream in the course of normal living? Are you awaiting funding or grant writing or anything? And I vote for hand it out as you go because that would be one serious line if it is all at once.

Cheers - Lee

Oh! I thought this group was about getting all lovey-dovey with your fellow cyclists. Which I am totally down for.
