  1. My recommendation to everyone other than Mr. Vandeman would be to simply ignore his postings. The
    best response to his viewpoints is NO RESPONSE. Nothing would disappoint him more than to see his
    postings get no replies. By engaging him, you are giving him what he wants. Besides, he'll have more
    time to raise funds for his wildlife preserve if he spends less time venting his rage here.

    You're not going to change his mind, and he's not going to change your's. Better to just let him sit
    in front of his computer and stress. Turn your's off and go for a ride!

    I agree. The idiots that respond are more of a problem than the little man himself.

    MV is not an issue for me. MV is hardly thought about by most regulars here. MV is something that
    almost never happens, except when dumbasses like you assume that you are the only one on this
    beautiful planet.

    Think man! THINK!

    OTOH, perhaps we should let mikey continue to vent his rage here--where it has zero effect!

  8. Hello Ellsworth, I for one simply blocked him out with a filter in my newsreader a very long time
    ago. But I have noticed, that ignoring him does not work sometimes either, he posts anyway.

    But I do not care what he has to say, I know the truth. He does not.

    Have a good day.

    It's easy to worry too much about Mikey. He's just one of those things, you know? You hear about
    them but never really think that such an illogical and unreasonable critter could exist. Until you
    meet one...

    Personally, I actually enjoy some of the posts, some of the responses are very entertaining. But
    it's all waffle really. Don't take it too seriously.

  10. Actually, Every time this guy posts, I'm going to go out and kill a plant. I'm going to rip it up
    by it's roots and tear it to pieces. That way, every time he posts, HE will be the one causing
    damage to nature. If that doesn't work I'm going to find him and rip him up by his roots and grind
    him to pieces.

    What's a white mile??????? I've heard of white elephants, and white rhinos and white whales.

    Aw, Terri, he was just speaking tongue-in-cheek (or was that gun-in-cheek)?

    We all really enjoy reading your and Mike's posts. It's all good. What fun is a discussion if both
    sides aren't represented? Besides, we get bored if the only prosthletization comes from single
    speeders! 😉

    I find Terri's ineffectual ranting to be more amusing with a visual aid:

    It's just like being there at some poor local committee meeting and seeing them suffering through
    more inane pontificating from yet another local boil.

    As long as they keep their "restrict this, restrict that" form of local governance (a move from
    "for the people" to "for the squeaky wheel"😉 in the Bay Area, that's fine with me. Far too often
    they move to a neighboring state to escape the Big Brother they've created, only to begin
    creating it again.

    I was going to apologize for over reacting, but after reading you reply.

    Honestly, I could care less if this guy sticks a gun in his mouth an pulls the trigger or if someone
    else does it for him. These little groups of turds are ruining our country and taking away our
    freedoms and protesting our attempts to free a people that have been treated like [censored] by their
    government while the UN sat around with their thumbs up their asses. The next time one of these guys
    clibs a tree to prevent it from being cut down, cut it down anyway. Next time they protest by
    putting their arms together through metal tubes, cut their arms off. Next time they lay down in the
    street to protest something... anything, run them over! They'll get the hint eventually.
