    I believe he meant "round"

    Oh, indeed.

    But if you google his name, you'll see he has switched from selling
    bikes to shilling for the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy."

    Dear Rick,

    Please, in the future try to use the traditional phrase, not briefer and
    less hyperbolic substitutes.

    As has been discussed, you should have said:

    "I don't believe a word of it."

    Helpfully,

    Different cultures have different traditions. Depending upon the
    location, all of the following might have been equally apt:

    "Are your sure, man?"
    "That's what you get for thinking."
    "If you didn't think so, you'd vanish, eh?"
    "You're not sure?"
    "I'm not so sure."

    I thought perhaps you were feeling a little bashful about some of your
    posted opinions given the [censored]-and-fan convergence going on for w.

    The moral high ground is NOT a relativistic place. Don't even start
    with that [censored] argument about how bad the Iraqis are.

    Colin Powell admitted the mobile WMD lab lies. The wheels are coming
    off. Hope they got their helmets on.

    Umm, could we just let the manure impact the ventilator *downwind* of
    here, and encourage Mark to talk about *bikes* instead? Things might
    actually be on topic then...

  10. I dunno why it never occurred to me before, but "Mark Hickey" is
    redundant, isn't it?

    Dear CCU,

    It never occurred to me, either, which is why I watch for your posts.

    But I suspect that it's occurred to Mark a few times:

    "Hickey, Mark?"

    "Present!"

    Dear Rick,

    That kind of red herring won't fly! It's a lie of the . . .

    No, fourth kind!

    yea, rick. don't plagiarize. unless you're a scientist or mathematician.

    "Plagiarize,
    Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
    Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
    So don't shade your eyes,
    But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize --
    Only be sure to please call it 'research.'"

    he told me secret of success in mathematics: 'Plagiarize!'"

    Naaah... like Sheldon, I have a pathological need to correct
    misinformation when I see it. And I see a LOT of it in that thread
    that needs to be corrected. I like to think of it as a
    dis-disinformation campaign.

    Oh, and using the term "vast right wing conspiracy" has sort of lost
    its luster after Hillary used it to describe what could only be
    Republican-generated lies about her hubby's philandering. You have to
    keep up with the current jargon if you wanna hang with the new libs.

  19. I may not agree with much of what Mr. Hickey has to say in regard to Iraq
    and our (US) reasons for being there -- OK, I agree with virtually none of
    it, but I for one am glad to see that cyclists are not a a homogenous
    smear of leftwing bobbleheads. What a dreary world this would be if
    everyone had the same beliefs.

    I am sorry to see a topic in rec.bicycles.tech with his name as the topic,
    when the discussion is not about Ti bicycle frames.

    Do you think we could propose a newsgroup rec.bicycles.not-tech, or
    rec.bicycles.politics? Or rec.bicycles.politics.iraq?
    rec.bicycles.rightwing.bobbleheads?

    Can't you keep this nonsense in the threads that have nothing else, and
    can be safely killfiled?

    [Or, better yet, off r.b.t. altogether.]

    If I want to read about Iraq, I'll buy a newspaper.
