Dumbass -

I dislike Kunich about as much as you do, but people have been sick of
him for the last 10 years and it hasn't done any good.

good luck,

K. Gringioni.

The point is not that I dislike him, but that he has crossed the line. I
just want people to express their opinions about him for the betterment of
r.b.r. Maybe he loves being the piriah.

That is pariah, unless you are trying to spell piranha.

rbr is becoming increasingly fishy.

People have been saying that for years. Good luck, but it'll probably
only make him post more.

There's always the killfile - TK would surely be a charter member of
any Usenet "killfile Hall of Fame".

Geez, you draw your line early. And begging for help to maintain a
thread at the gitgo is a sign of weakness and can't possibly be 'for
the betterment of r.b.r.'. At the very least, TK has soldiered on on
his own even if everyone else is attacking his opinion. Beats begging
for support in my book.

If you make a good personal attack, the tifosi of viciousness will
chime in; otherwise, the thread will die away as it should. This is
the way of rbr. Unfortunately, we no longer have a ultimate authority
to enforce this (even H Squared is an intermittent force), but it is
what it is.

Hiya Dwayne:
TK would have to advocate greasing chains with oil rendered from the
Canadian baby harp seal harvest, declaim "if you use barcons then the
terrorists have won" and a good two dozen other outlandish positions
(in addition to his usual hobbyhorses) before he'd get anywhere near
some of the all-time greats in wasted bandwidth. Check out
rec.games.chess.politics (wear a Nomex skinsuit!) sometime, or watch
wacky Dr. Chung inflict his dietary madness upon the cardiology and
diabetes newsgroups in a strange pattern one cogent observer thought
might be a sign of a bipolar disorder. "Invitations to leave" usually
don't work well with unmoderated fora and immoderate individuals.

Does he use charts?

More importantly, how did they get rec.games.chess.politics chartered?

Yeah, I know. I once read one of the chess ngs (it doesn't really
matter which one, because all of the [censored] is cross-posted anyway).
Granted TK doesn't compete with Sam Sloan and the r.g.c.p. nutjobs, but
those creatures are hors concours...

The 2lb diet attempts to encourage people to eat less. I wouldn't
exactly call it madness for sedentary folk.

Hi Phil:

I used to think "at least it's a crude metric that some people COULD
use," but then I realized his charter for the two pound diet was Exodus
16:16 because 16 ounces plus 16 ounces equals two pounds (although most
other amatuer bible scholars I've consulted say the "omer" was a unit
of volume) and his large-scale peer-reviewed population study was the
Israelites wandering in the desert. And, to be frank, for folks with
impaired glucose tolerance, matzo could be a bad idea (for further
details, consult your neighborhood Registered Dietician, the local
Certified Diabetes Educator or a good Endocrinologist, good luck
getting an HMO to pay for that, though). Teaching people how to eyeball
portions and the interaction and varied action of macronutrients and,
oh, so many other things that may have been left by the wayside when
the food pyramid went condo would be a better way to go about it --
especially for those who eat out....

There are other ways to go about food intake reduction besides the
overly simplistic, condescending "two pound-OMER Way Of Eating" or
however Chung's styling it this month.

Oh, by the way, if the CDE or Endo are worth their fees, they'll be
pretty upfront about mentioning exercise. Spring is here -- time to get
in some nice rides. Hey, some ON TOPIC content!

Dumbass -

He's been doing that ever since he's been in this group. It's nothing
new.

thanks,

who was our ultimate authority (am i being stupid?)

anyway, i temporarily only have an hour a day to do all of my business
online, so i'm extra intermittent these days 🙁 but it's my opinion
that tom is just taking one for the rbr team- by posting obnoxiously
about helmets in the saul raison thread, he is making sure anyone else
who might have been tempted to post about "helmet vs. no helmet" will
be too ashamed to do so. (right?)

my message here is flippant, but i do feel for saul's friends and his
family waiting by his side and hoping for the best. (just want to try
to convey that too, in case any of them should read this at some
point.)

Why don't you tell me where you live so that I can come over there and kick
your stupid ass into the next century?

flaming

I think that the term "shove it" is accurate here.

Helmets accomplish effectively NOTHING..."

Enough said, now beat it Kunich. Go away

Be certain to cycle there without your helmet, chump.
