Is it worth taking mountain bikes over to Eigg? I ask as out youngest is only just in a bike seat

Any thoughts?

Theres about 4 miles of tarmac and a similar amount of what looks like land rover tracks.

It would seem hardly worth taking the bike, but then hardly worth going really.

Oh those naughty landies, and how inconsiderate of people using them for the purpose they were
designed for.

pud in the office all week would ride 'the bike'. And at weekend, she prefers the day out as the
window cleaner rides her indoors on the rest of the weekdays.

Try to re-arrange the following words into a well known phrase or saying. Trolls the feed not do.

Which proves nothing other than that you haven't a clue about the Icelandic language.

Trolls on the Internet are cowards. Very few if any of them would have the guts to stand up in a
public bar and spout off their nonsense. Hiding behind a computer and doing it seems to give them
some satisfaction.

The sad part of all of this is that youngsters read this Newsgroup and they should not be subjected
to the kind of language that these sad people use.

I hardly think a willingness to be assaulted should be the criterion of worth for someone's
comments. Are you saying that large, strong men should be allowed to troll and abuse people?

Nonsense. All kinds of people use vigorous language on Usenet, and Usenet has always been a medium
for adults - children can read it, but I strongly oppose the idea that we should adapt it for them
except in hierarchies and newsgroups explicitly for their use.

Would make a bit more sense if the offending troll hadn't been reacting to a perfectly civil
question. I used to work with a bloke called Stuart. A conversation with Stuart usually went
along these lines: "Moring, Stuart." - "F**k off!" At that, Stuart was at least prepared to use
his own name.

I don't like the offending troll; but "Velvet"'s comments about trolls are preposterous nonsense
for all that.

<shrug> I don't think it's appropriate or necessary to spout foul language in response to a civil
question in any context. And I am one of these starry-eyed idealists who would like the entire world
to be warm and fluffy and safe for my children, but most of it isn't - however, this NG is usually
fairly polite and "family friendly." Not that they ever use any part of the net unsupervised,
especially not Usenet. And IRC is blocked at my firewall and always will be.

For the record I think the denunciation of cowards hiding behind their computers to post was made
under the pseudonym "Vision". :-)

But it is permissible. The troll was wrong because it was a troll; not because it had rude words in
or indeed because the poster might be unwilling to be punched in the face.
