And still no link, quote, or explanation, just an increasingly nasty

I especially like its use of the surname while referring to itself by
its forename.

No? I thought you'd apologised to me once today for that already. Ah I

Dear Tony,

Amidst all this nonsense, it's worth pointing out that we have two
kinds of lawyers in this thread.

There's Jay Beattie. Whether you agree with Jay or not on an
individual point, he's worth reading because he addresses the topic
instead of frothing abuse and incoherence. A judge wouldn't hold Jay
in contempt.

Then there's Sandy.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

No, I did not lie. How base of you to suggest that.
Do you know that Fogel lies ? Pay attention ...

Fogel, you do not tell the truth all the time. You lie. There. Sue me.
Most folks already knew this - not the UK crowd. But that's the story.
My record is happily populated with judges yelling at me, throwing
things at me, etc.
It is not strewn with failure, Mr. Former English teacher.
You lie and confabulate. I'll happily point to the example which
allowed me to move you from the innocently eccentric to the
pathologically incapable of addressing reality.
Another time, though. Makes the saliva flow ...

Having just seen this post, I think it needs to be clarified that I did
not direct it to you at origin, nor did you clip it with adequate
context. Context is Fogel.

So happy to be of help.

Ah, a wild accusation, loud claims of links and proof, and then the
usual emptiness and evasion.

After you wipe the drool that you say is dripping from your mouth,
please point to the example that you claim you have.

Otherwise, the UK crowd might think that you're lying.

You do realize he was addressing that to Carl The Smarmy Liar, right?

Your first post was a mistake, your second, after I asked you to check
your quoting, was a lie. But then you saying you don't lie is a lie.

You lie Fogel. It will be fun watching as you search for which lie I will
expose.
I really don't care about your sniping. But you may see that I did correct
the misattribution before you slapped a few keyboard strokes. Several
times.

You lie. I don't doubt you wear a hard yellow bonnet, but I do doubt you
are often on a bike, going fast.

You can enjoy a last word here. You can snipe from the sidelines elsewhere.
Cool.
But it won't help or harm. Enjoy.

Er, if you're going to expose my lies, why would I need to search for
them?

And is this another post without any link, quote, or evidence, just
more wild accusations?

I ride about 9 days out of 10 every year, about 15 miles, at about 18
to 20 mph, a gentle 5,000 mile per year.

Every summer, the speed rises, just as good bicycle speed calculators
predict it will with a 40~50F temperature increase.

Shall I post a few years worth of spreadsheets? I've never claimed to
be fast, though I recall pointing out that your claims that unclipping
from the pedals reduced your speed enormously were silly, given that I
could push a bicycle as fast as you claimed to pedal for a kilometer
by standing sidesaddle on one pedal and pushing with one foot:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/1aec8bc885658c92

Incidentally, that thing above is called a link. It's a clever way to
support what you say and much more effective than talking about
drooling and promising again and again to get around to providing
evidence.

Why not join Sandy in his repeated promises to provide evidence of all
those lies that I tell?

You do have something specific in mind, don't you?

Or are you just lying?

Carl lied about me just today. He said I "cunningly mis-spelled" (sic) Alan
Baggins' (sic) name, when in fact the guy's username is "Alan Braggins"
which is exactly what I (or rather my newsreader) wrote.

Now I suppose it's /possible/ that Carl just got confused -- after all, he's
made numerous mistakes in the last day or so -- but he completely ignored my
asking him to explain his nonsensical claim, instead just piling on more
smarmy insults. (Only now he's taken to using "third party" sniping -- as
he would spew, "a shocking new development!")

I suspect he's ill (more than usual) or perhaps has changed medications.

Off to ride, BS

PS: If Carl really only wears his yellow helmet for visibility -- and
indeed hopes if he ever catapults over a car hood to be bare-headed (he
really said that) -- then why doesn't he simply buy a bright yellow beanie
or cap?!? Could it be he really DOES depend on the lid's protective
qualities? Fascinating... (OK, not really.)
