Skookum said:Yah people should really just step back and realize that internet forums like this are just concentrated blips of our personality, often accentuated and many times distorted. i personally think EGO and pride is what causes many interesting and knowledgable people from the board because it's hard for them to differentiate a slight or off-handed remark from a cruel insult, when mostly it's just an impersonal statement/opinion more times than naught.
That being said persons should realize that many people are sensitive to that, and should be respectful. Otherwise we just wind up having a board full of assholes.
At any rate i hope that many people recognize that using the board is fun, but recognize that ultimately it's a tool. Whatever you use it for is up to you, but i personally find it a great resource for learning, socializing, and promoting mt. bike advocacy and recreation. We all have mt. biking in common, and that's what brought us all here in the first place.
Oh now come on man,that post made sense.You can't post stuff that makes sense in a thread like this .
