See Eugene,

The net.species in ARBR have certain peculiarities.... trolling
by disassociation from reality and projection is standard behavior
by a prolific, but lesser species there.

This one is easy to troll, but he's really only a one-trick pony.
Taking Mr. Ed on a trek through the rec.backcountry is the only
reason I respond. He really needs to get out more. The people
in rec.bicycles.misc really appreciate it when he visits.

Note that he's mistaken my species as weasel. %^) The net.weasel
family can take care of themselves and more. We flightless birds
are no competition for Mustelidae, and particularly for the gulo gulo
luscus.

newsgroup, otherwise known as ARBR.

Meinecke was one of the main things that was wrong with this group when
push came to shove. When a criminal vandal troll showed up here (Ed Gin),
all he knew how to do was to run and hide like the cowardly weasel that he

talent to be as dense as he ever proves himself to be. I attribute his
density to his Germanic racial traits.

It appears that Mr. Meinecke is reading my humble messages after all, even
though he remains too fear stricken to ever respond directly to anything I
say. This is why I constantly refer to him as a weasel, a creature known for
its slithery, sideways behavior.

The folks in RBM are even dumber than the folks who pollute ARBR. Let us not
worry about what they might think. You need to read Bill Baka to get a clue
about that group.

No one is going to look up any of the above. Way too much work!

Mr. Meinecke has had me down as a troll from day one, not ever realizing
that all he was getting, along with everyone else, was nothing but
quintessential Ed Dolan. I have no interest in trolling. That is for idiots.
Ed Gin was truly the only troll that ARBR ever had from my perspective.
Flabby was a one note Johnny and essentially harmless.

It is really too bad that Mr. Meinecke and I do not get along better as we
have many similar interests when it comes to how a newsgroup should conduct
itself. However, personality clashes often determine everything in this
world of woe and there is no help for it. I simply can't stand his Germanic
stolidity. He seems not to have even a spark of Irish lightness.

I respond to almost everyone who addresses any of my messages. But I do so
on my terms only. I always end up talking about what I want to talk about,
not what someone else might want me to talk about. Therefore, I cannot be
trolled. Only dunces allow themselves to be trolled.

My Greatness comes from a persona I have created for Usenet purposes. I am
sick and tired of all the nonentities who infest Usenet. For God's sakes,
they do not even use their real names. I decided from day one that I was not
going to be a cipher like all the rest of them. Therein lies my Greatness!

You would have had to experience Ed Gin to know what I am talking about. He
was totally mindless and into nothing but name calling. He stepped on every
thread with his spamming messages. He forged other's real names and
addresses as well as using dozens of different user names himself. All of
his posts were through proxies. He never responded to anything that was
said. He in effect destroyed ARBR because no one on the group (except for a
few of us) had the guts to fight him.

Mr. Meinecke always prided himself on being somewhat responsible for good
Usenet etiquette, yet when push came to shove he absented himself. That is
why I do not like him much. Yes, he is intelligent, but what good is
intelligence without courage?

Poor Mr. Meinecke does not know a troll from a hole in the ground. When a
real troll showed up he was out to lunch. Note how I have responded to your
message. Does it seem like I am trolling you? However, I am prepared to
take you to task for your constipated one-liners if you wish.

I did a short bike campout this weekend, local state park, ACE lake.
Nice stand of Post Oak and Cedar Elm masked nearby other campsites.
Noise was another issue. rec.frontcountry, really.

I packed gear in the underseat panniers and rode the Tour Easy. I
noticed the bike was making a creak/click with pedal rotation under
load and tried to locate. Thought it might be from the crank. The bike
has almost 9000 miles on it.

Coming home Sunday, about three miles from home, as I tried to
accelerate away from at stop light, I discovered the actual source of
the sound: the middle front chainring tacoed. Turns out the was a
crack in the chainring and under heavy preasure it finally gave way.
I finished the ride in the big chainring.

I don't ever recall having any conversation with anyone name Eugene Miya
before. The only Floyd I recall is some idiot from Barrow, Alaska who argued
that the Eskimo was superior to the Norse because the Eskimo hunted the g.d.
whale and was able to survive in the high arctic by doing so whereas the
Norse chose not to do that and were therefore not able to survive - as no
sensible human should ever want to do in the first place. Floyd was nothing
but a freaking idiot for living in Barrow - a regular paradise on this earth
no doubt! I think Floyd thought he was an Eskimo himself!

his. The rest of you do so at your peril.

This is what is wrong with a character like Meinecke. He has kill-filed me
so he only sees what others' quote from my messages. This is fundamentally
unfair to me, but what does Meinecke know of fairness. His hypocrisy is
overwhelming. I read his messages as he writes them, but he does not do the
same with me. Yet, he feels free to comment on me and my messages.

Once you have kill-filed someone it is only fair that you no longer comment
on whoever it is that you have kill-filed. However, since I have not
kill-filed him and read all of his messages, I am perfectly free to comment
on him and his messages. Kill-filers are the most incredibly stupid people
in the world.

I am not imagining anything in connection with Meinecke. He pretended to

My God! We do not want this lunatic back in our sacred cycling precincts. If
you listen to him you will end up in Barrow yourself hunting the g.d. whale
and drinking yourself to death like the freaking Eskimos.

I hear the high arctic is melting away due to global warming and that the
polar bear will soon be extinct. Now if we could just figure out a way to
make old Floyd extinct. How he can ride any kind of a bicycle in Barrow is
one for the books. Do they even have any roads there?

According to Floyd, we should all be taking our vacations in Barrow in
January. There we would never see the sun, and enjoy 50 degrees below zero.
The main thing we should take with us when we go there on our vacations is
plenty of liquor so we can get as drunk as the natives. After all, when you
are living that far north, you do not want to see, feel or hear anything -
except maybe the beating of your own heart just to reassure you that you
have not died and gone to a very cold and dark Hell. Greenland, anyone?

As Scott lay dying in his tent in Antarctica, he wrote in his diary, "God,
this is an awful place!" Hey Floyd, you brain dead nit-wit, why don't you
go to Antarctica. Barrow (and all of Alaska for that matter) is for sissies.

I only know what I read in the liberal mass media about the Eskimo and his
drunken ways. But are not all those people from Northeastern Siberia, which
is also the home of all the original inhabitants of the Americas. DNA
studies have conclusively proven that. In other words, they are all
Mongoloids. Is Floyd also a Mongoloid or is he a Caucasoid? I don't think he
is a Negroid as I doubt there are any Negroes stupid enough to be living in
Barrow, Alaska. It takes a really dumb Caucasoid like Floyd to think that
Barrow is a good place to settle down.

But Hells Bells, I don't blame the Eskimo for being nothing but a drunken
savage. If I had to live in that godforsaken land, that is what I would do
too. I would just drink and drink until it killed me. Either that, or get
the hell out of there. It is really very strange in this day and age that
anyone would choose to live in such a frozen land. Floyd lives there because
he is crazy, but surely not all Eskimos are crazy. They must know there is a
better world for them to be living in than the high arctic.

All this talk about drinking has made me thirsty. Please excuse me now while
I hop on my trusty bike and make a run to the local liquor store to get some
of my favorite vino. Just thinking about crazy Floyd there in frozen Barrow,
Alaska, is enough to drive anyone to drink.

I spend many hours a day looking at PBS on TV and there are numerous

nothing but drinking themselves to death. I only have to go a few miles
south to the Omaha and Winnebago Indian Reservations to see it for myself.
However, as a true blue Irishman, I am not too critical of those who want to
drink. Hells Bells, sometimes it is the only thing that makes it possible to

The North Slope is a dry borough.

I spend many hours a day looking at PBS on TV and there are numerous
programs that tell how the Eskimos (and the American Indian too) are into
nothing but drinking themselves to death.

I have met some of these Eskimos.
I was sitting in an all you can eat crab feed in Los Anchorage killing
time before a plane one winter when one such local decided to walk in
and sit across from me at the table. He was far more pitiful than a
real threat (unlike my old man).

That does not mean that all of the Native-Americans are drunks.
And they are also trying to do something about it.

And I have been multiply mistaken as an Athebascan.

Oh sure. The roads are graded gravel. Ride a mtn. bike easily.

I think old Floyd, the would-be Eskimo, has a Tour Easy recumbent, not an
ideal bike for riding on gravel roads.

I only rode around with Floyd in a borrowed Suburban.

I rejected a Tour Easy for a Rans Stratus minus the lower handle bars
and the wind screen. I cna do those later if I want.

gone to a very cold and dark Hell. Greenland, anyone?

Yep, I am trying to get on an ice coring expedition there.

You are welcome to the cold and dark Hell that is the high arctic. Be sure
to go there in January. May you perish there of your stupidity - along with
old Floyd of Barrow, Alaska!

I'd go in summer. Neat place.

As Scott lay dying in his tent in Antarctica, he wrote in his diary, "God,
this is an awful place!" Hey Floyd, you brain dead nit-wit, why don't you
go to Antarctica. Barrow (and all of Alaska for that matter) is for
sissies.

He wrote awful place at the Pole before he really started dying.

Hell, Scott was dying of terminal stupidity from the beginning, just as you
would if you ventured to Antarctica.

What's this got to do with bikes?

To stay strictly on the subject of bikes is the most boring thing in the
universe. You proved that by answering my humble message. However, I do not
know why you have cut the other newsgroups. They are all waiting with baited
breath for my every word. Do you not have any idea at all how Great I am?

Never heard of you.
Do you know Andy Mickel? Now he is a good man in the Twin cities.
The first sentence is somewhat correct.
Is the 2nd really humble or shallow courtesy?
I cut the other groups because they were not needed.

An opportunity here, what with Edward Dolan providing an
example! All the perspective needed is summed up in a nasty
little joke:

Q: Why did God make whiskey?
A: It prevents the Irish from ruling the world.

Applied to what Dolan writes, and it all becomes much easier to
focus on what he is thinking.

Of course, I'm sure Eugene already knows that, but I'll post
it for anyone who has missed the point previously

A feller here named Jim, who is a past mayor of Barrow (as is
his wife), has a tandem recumbent, among others. The two of
them, or Jim and his young son, cruise around town often on it.

You cannot understand the Irish without being thoroughly grounded in the
Roman Catholic Faith. The Irish, like the Poles, are ever faithful to the
Roman Church and have been saddled with a clergy that was everything to
them. However, when an Irish Catholic falls away from the Faith, then watch
out as the Devil Himself is loose. But even a fallen-away Irish Catholic
never completely escapes his childhood faith.

Nope, I wrote it correctly. I meant to imply that Scott was stupid to want
to go to Antarctica in the first place. Anyone with any common sense could
have told him that Antarctica was an "awful place."

Eugene has some reflective qualities and is not as dense as Floyd. He also
likes to contribute something to the group instead of just attacking all the
time like Floyd. Floyd should take a few cues from Eugene and get with the
program.

I have severely criticized anyone who would freely choose to live in Barrow,
Alaska, surely one of the sink holes of the world. Floyd needs to explain to
the group what the hell it is that he does there in January, besides hunker
down and drink like all the Eskimos and Indians (Athabascans) do. Minnesota
is also the pits in the winter, but the North Slope of Alaska is infinitely
worse. It is a cold and dark Hell there in January and anyone who says
otherwise is a fool.

Undoubtably true.
Therefore the non-Catholic portions of the, Asia, Africa, the
Middle-East, the Protestian parts need not attempt an otherwise
impossible task for Crusaders to learn about opposition forces?

A Romantic sounding notion, but in the current Crusade, that likely will
never cut it.

The words "would" and "if" makes what follows conditional. I wrote it
correctly. I am almost never wrong about these sort of things.

Better consider yourself wrong.
BTW, the good book Uncommon Sense by Cromer was published the year I was
in the Antarctic.

Yep, computer people get to the Antarctic.
And I did it on you tax dollar.

People have unicycled around the South Pole.
There are bikes in McMurdo and elsewhere.
