Subject: Ed Dolan the Great Pontificates ...
ARBR is the most worthless newsgroup that has ever existed in the entire
history of Usenet. Here I am trying to spark up this group and only the
notorious liberal scofflaw Tom Sherman ever has anything to say to me.

I urge one and all to lose your cowardice and to enter into the fray. After
all, it is no fun for me to have no one to beat up on. Show some
consideration for a lone conservative who likes nothing better than to trash
liberals. Yea, don't deny it - I KNOW you for the liberal scum bags that you
are.

No respectable cyclist would ever be caught dead on these freaking cyclist
newsgroups. Yea, we are the pits, so let it all hang out and show the world
what a bunch of scum bags we are. Don't think we are scum? Then just read
the posts of Ozark and Doug Taylor among many others.

The only voice of sanity and sweet reason on these newsgroups is the Great
Ed Dolan. Ed, many thanks for keeping us on the straight and narrow. You are
a godsend to these freaking cycling newsgroups and I worship the ground you
walk on. I know you are not only Great, but a Great Saint besides. It is an
honor and a privilege to even exist in the same universe as you.

In that case, one number seems to be going down as the other
inexorably goes up.

The Great Ed Dolan is a genius and wise beyond your comprehension. Being
smart is not about IQ, but about knowing your ass from a hole in the ground.
RBM is one of the stupidest newsgroups that has ever disgraced Usenet. Very
funny that you cannot see yourselves for what you are - idiots, morons and
imbeciles.

I am convinced that only the very dumbest cyclists ever post to Usenet.
Anyone with any brains would not be caught dead on these freaking cycling
newsgroups.

Ed Dolan is about 70 or 71 years old.

They type of people Ed Dolan drove off alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent are
those who do not mind being constantly told to behave. The type of
banter that often occurs between such posters as Ozark Bicycle, JFT,
J. Taylor, Bill Sornson, et al would get the thread locked or deleted,
and the posters banned in short order from the moderated web forum in
question.

A little spirited off-topic discussion should not hurt anyone but the
overly uptight.

Dolan is kinda funny in a pathetic sort of way. He tries his damnedest
to be malevolent, but he just comes off as totally impotent and, thus,
harmless. Is there a chance he's just a pissed-off adolescent shut-in?
Anyway, I can't understand how he could drive people off of a forum.

Ozark Bicycle is half-way to understanding the Great Ed Dolan. My only
purpose in being on these forums is to enliven them. Just because a
newsgroup is dedicated to bicycles does not mean that it needs to be
terminally boring. There is nothing worse in the universe than to be boring.
I am looking forward to Ozark Bicycle not being boring.

It is OK to say stupid and obnoxious things on a newsgroup. It is NOT OK to
say boring things.

To their discredit, a lot of the former regular posters to
alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent abandoned the group for a moderated forum
where they are treated like children by the moderators, since the
arrival of Mr. Ed Dolan.

And why the hell didn't Mr. Tom Sherman leave the group also? He would not
be missed much by anyone, other than me of course. He is yin to my yang.
Christ, if I didn't have his sorry ass to kick around, who would I have?

Bill Baka already has his Brickston on RBM. Nay, Sherman and Dolan need one
another. The world would self- destruct if there were not some controls
being exercised by the regulars of ARBR. RBM is fortunate indeed to have the
likes of Tom Sherman and the Great Ed Dolan honoring their humble forum with
their august presence.

If they were run off by a bully, then being treated as
children is what they want.

Those who left ARBR were all a bunch of babies. They only wanted to be
coddled like women. Fuck 'em!

You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm
deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a
weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a
revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

Nope, Brickston is a wit, and an intelligent one too. You should take him
more seriously than you do. He will give you some insight into your
weaknesses. We all need someone to bring us up short from time to time.

Now, excuse me while I hunt down this cretin who goes by the name of Ozark
Bicycle. He needs my ministrations a thousand times worse than you do.

The group (alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent) had many more on-topic posts
PRIOR to Mr. Ed Dolan's arrival.

arbr has really turned into alt.fan.ed.dolan.

It would be nice if there were a separate usenet group for cycling. Then
could read the afed group for yuks and the cycling group for on-topic stuff.

It is the nature of the beast, however, that one person, committed to doing
so, can dominate a group.

I used to feel bad about responding to topics by or about him but when I
didn't, somebody else always did. We were able to achieve a united front to
stay on topic and ignore him but it didn't last. Human nature being what it
is, you could have predicted the result.

So my current thinking is that we should post on topic stuff when we have
something to say that is on topic and either ignore the afed material or
not.

Now Ed, I don't know if all top poster are idiots, but I confess to being
one myself. Just ask my wife, she'll tell you.

Heaven's to Betsy, just go ahead and post on-topic subjects to your heart's
content. I won't interfere at all. I already know everything there is to
know about recumbents and I don't give a good god damn what anyone else
thinks they know.

Jeff Grippe top posts just to annoy me. He knows better and, more

middle post but instead, actually breaking up sentences.

Words is words, Ed. As you have so well illustrated for us all, chaos reigns

All newsgroups are permanently fucked-up. The reason for this is that you
MUST have a moderator. Otherwise you get nothing but stupidities. A free and
open forum where anyone can say whatever they want is a form of insanity.

If you want to remain sane and stay on Usenet, it is vitally important that
you do not take any of this crap seriously. Be like me and laugh at all the
idiots in the world. ARBR sure has more than its share. I think only idiot
cyclists ever bother posting to a cycling newsgroup. Anyone with any brains
would not be caught dead here.

It is ARBR. The other cycling groups do not need any input from ARBR as they
already have more than enough stupid members constantly saying stupid things
to one another. Don't be so selfish. We need some of your stupidity here on
ARBR too.

I try to keep the posts up to a reasonable standard without going into

Brickston has got you pinned down to perfection. I will occasionally cut you
a bit of slack when I feel you are being sincere and honest, but let's face
it, you are a nut. You most likely always have been and always will be.

Global war or global warming: which concerns you more? The question
sharply divides Americans, a split that makes me fear for my country.
The freest, strongest, most innovative and prosperous nation in
history ought to know better.

The twofold story line from the media and many politicians right now
is that (1) we have been in Iraq too long for no reason, and (2) every
day brings us closer to catastrophe from alleged human-induced climate
change. The agenda is therefore to speed up the Kyoto-style self-
flagellation while slowing the fight against jihadist Islam.

President Bush outlines his proposal for 15 major nations to agree on
a global emissions goal for greenhouse gases, in a speech ahead of
next week's summit in Germany of leading industrialized nations,
Thursday, May 31,2007, at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington.
(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Bush Asks for Global Emission Goals by 2008

This is utterly upside down. An unproved, slow-moving environmental
worry is elevated to crisis proportions by our elites - while an
avowed human enemy at the gates, committed to killing us by the
millions and destroying the United States, is wished away. What folly.

Both jihad and climate should concern policymakers and the public, no
question. But the inverted priority we give them will astound
historians (assuming the history is written honestly and in our
language, not in Arabic under Sharia theocrats). How could these 21st
century Americans be such fools and fainthearts, posterity will ask,
that hypothetically higher sea levels frightened them more than nuts
with nukes?

We need to look hard at the American mind and the American spirit,
summer 2007. A certain sleepy softness and unseriousness, a certain
childish emotionalism, is evident in the national mood these days that
does not bode well for survival in a dangerous world.

You may be more convinced by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, I by
Dennis Avery and Fred Singer's Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500
Years. You may feel your conscience pricked by CAIR, the Muslim lobby
in this country, charging that Islamophobia is the ultimate terrorism,
while I shudder at the jihadists' deadly capabilities as documented by
Lawrence Wright in The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11.
Fair enough; no oracle is final in such matters.

Yet can't we agree that an armed psychopath in our house is more of a
threat than a finger raising the thermostat one degree? (Not that it's
certain any such human cause exists; it may be no more than a cyclical
brownout of the planetary air conditioning.) And shouldn't we admit
that "in our house" is literally true, when it comes to thousands of
Islamic radicals who have slipped across US borders and now stand to
gain instant legalization under the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill?

Among our opinion-shapers and political leaders, passivity toward the
illegal-alien invasion aligns roughly, though not exactly, with
passivity toward global jihad. President Bush, unbending as he is on
Iraq, still naively insists Islam is a "religion of peace," and he
misleadingly calls the battle against Al Qaeda and Wahabbism a "war on
terror." John Edwards now dismisses even this term as a "bumper
sticker," and his fellow Democratic candidates hurry leftward to keep
up.

Contrast this passive stance toward real people seeking to have their
way with us (the jihadists by mayhem, the migrants by demography) to
the hyperactive policies urged by many leaders on global warming - a
theoretical threat supposedly justifying bigger government, vast
expense, and widespread sacrifice. What you see is an American elite
that has lost its nerve, its head, its soul, or all three.

Ivan Denisovich, Solzhenitsyn's everyman trapped in the Soviet gulag,
observes that the resilient and defiant inmates survive but the
groveling self-doubters perish. Societies are no different. A nation
stupefied like some battered spouse with the half-notion that we had
it coming, both as to jihad and Kyoto, is hard to be hopeful for.
Whereas an awakened America, recovering its "Don't tread on me"
spirit, can defeat the Islamofascists as well as save the polar bears.
Wake up or sleep on; the choice is ours.
