Think of this as a Missed Connection.

You blew the red light east bound on Lawrence at Damen at 5:26 pm this evening.

There was enough time for the biker in front of me to make it half way into the intersection, northbound on Damen, before you came whizzing past my front wheel.

I yelled "You're an idiot!" at your big haired chick, self, and you looked back at me. I meant it!

I woulda testified for any of the cars, that managed to not kill you, if they had.

Keep riding like a tard!

love,

gabe

Witness bad behavior during your commute? Feel free to post. Maybe that lovely human can read it and think they are famous. Maybe you can also inspire the whole generation of kids to shower but we can start with small things.

The other day I went for a ride with my girl and I came close to a number of people, it was a glorious day with minimal negative impact. I love riding.

Oh... you're a troll who posts inflammatory language then?

Because it's not extraneous - it's discussing your word usage.

And it's not off topic - it's discussing your word usage and behavior on a bicycle representing this community.

I haven't. Everyone can discuss any of the other things they've been talking about. Vilda cannot repost her comment using that word without me commenting. And I will reply to anyone defending Vilda or telling me I shouldn't talk about this here.

It's literally as simple as not using that word and not defending the use of it.

It's not trolling. Love when people decide that everyone who tells them they're an asshole (while they are being an asshole) is a troll.

I am telling you that I will not stand for that word being used here because it is an offensive slur. You keep using it.Your move.

Guys, Let Tom And Michelle talk to each other. They've proven their value in Trolling.

Everyone: we are not going to get Michelle to shut up until we start ignoring her. Please, let's try to do that, in every thread where she responds. We are not going to succeed in convincing her of the destructivenesss or selfishness of her method.

She uses at least two handles: Michelle and Michelle Milham.

From here on, let's try to stick to the thread subject here.

Can you point out how it is destructive to not stand for ableist slurs and sexual harassment? I won't stand for that, for racism, for anything that would not make a new cyclist feel welcome here. If you will, it is YOU who is destructive.

JUST STOP SLURRING. AND STOP DEFENDING IT. ITS NOT HARD. YOU WANT ME TO SHUT UP? MAKE ME HAVE NO REASON TO PIPE UP. It is your problematic behavior that has upset me.
