    For those who follow BROL and their ideals, a primary objective as of
    late is the elimination of any references to Monkey Island specifically
    as they claim the site's posts posed a disastrous effect on their little
    niche of a community.

    Just yesterday, SJ the owner of the now defunct Monkey Island site
    stipulated he has the weblogs to prove the source of the vile posts from
    the isle.

    Apparantly upstanding members of the recumbent community AND
    manufacturers were the responsible parties!

    BROL, it's members, siteowner Bryan Ball, and it's manufacturers /
    advertisers need look no further than themselves for their source of
    anguish and concern.

    This occurance adds to the string of corruption within BROL's own ranks
    as they fail to acknowledge their own faults and continue to point the
    finger elsewhere. Their policy of banning, editing, and deleting
    posts is ludricous.

    The below material was onsite for 4 hours prior to removal.
    Interestingly, BROL left the rest of the post intact. See it at their
    forums under HPV racing, last page of RAMM revisited thread.

    Clearly a case of censorship, fear, and denial of facts presented,
    BROL is a fine example of hypocrisy.

    Below is the portion excised:

    I have the weblogs to prove it. The worshipful 'bent masses would be
    VERY surprised to see which "leading and upstanding" members of the
    recumbent community --including manufacturers -- were among the most
    vile posters on Monkey Island -- may it rest in peace.

    Perhaps, but only within the context of private publishing
    choices.

    Private enterprise.

    Quoted message said:

    [...] hypocrisy.

    Such assertions seem well suited for a pot and kettle
    didactic color commentary. Betting on the dead horse
    to win, place, or show?

    Is it not whitewashing with a wide brush that will set things aright with the bent world.If you have a credibility problem whose fault is it?Agood name has great value in this world,you should look at getting one.

    After all your childish ravings about a certain bike that were
    plastered all over usenet, do you really think anyone gives a [censored]
    about anything you have to say on any subject at all?

    I am glad you are banned from BROL. It is a much nicer place because
    you are not there.

    As far as I am concerned, you can eat [censored] and bark at the moon.

    ROTFLMAO! This diatribe makes BROL so much more enjoyable and
    civilized. This "my tinker-toy beats your tinker-toy" nonsense is so
    stupid, that it is enjoyable (as well as cheap advertising for
    tinker-toys). Gotta spend dieing recumbent days somehow! (Or didn't
    I hear that question in 1992?)

    Santa Cruz is doing a big turn around- from bike friendly to a bike
    unfriendly place; with no recumbents as in past years, no mayors ride
    show, lousy roads with those dangerous patches, car drivers acting like
    left overs from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome- addicted to oil, and so on.
    Between this nocom, frequent religious jabs and this unvanishing tempt
    of intellectual one-up-manship ; this keyboard pastime is humorous as
    well as a way to spend time.

    With the highboys vanishing from Santa Cruz, I will have to find
    something else to beat soundly. Until then I have imaginary babbling
    to pacify my spare time on the computer.

    And Gee! Aren't those tinker-toys durable! (hee hee hee).
