Subject: In Defense of Mr. Dolan

Ed Dolan the Great has ever been the bulwark of ARBR, a newsgroup otherwise
totally unrekable. But Greatness will out!
ARBR would now be as dead as the proverbial door nail if it were not for Ed
Dolan the Great. He is striving mightily to drag some others to the
newsgroup to save it from atrophy and decay. A more pitiful newsgroup has
never existed in the realm of Usenet. It has been our eternal misfortune to
attract nothing but Freds who live to go slow on their bikes and to boast
about how slow they are. Most of the members of ARBR also like to ramble on
a lot about things that seem to have no relevance to the world we are living
in. I attribute all of these phenomena to the fact that ARBRs' are old and
getting ready to fall into the grave. I do not believe we have ever had any
teenagers on this forum.
Ed Dolan the Great will carry on even though the gates of Hell prevail
against him. Tom Sherman has left us, but apparently not for greener
pastures as I cannot find him anywhere on Usenet. And so we are left with
nothing but flotsam and jetsam. But Ed Dolan the Great will soldier on
regardless of the tempests that reign internally.
Ed, you are just so Great! Many thanks for all you do for this newsgroup.
Without you it would be nothing but a graveyard. Yea, the headstones are all
about, but we are not yet dead! Ed Dolan the Great says full speed ahead -
and damn the torpedoes!
Regards,
Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota
aka
Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota
PS. Ed, we also appreciate your Great Saintliness. Holiness has fallen on
hard times of late and there is hardly anyone left to take on the human scum
that exists everywhere all around us. Keep up the good work!

I will try to associate ARBR with RBM and RBS with AMB as these groups seem
the most congenial with one another because of the various subjects that
regularly show up on them. But anything specific to one group should not be
posted to any other group. That should be the general rule.
ARBR seems to be making something of a comeback so I will not drag other
groups onto ARBR unless the subject is somehow mysteriously all about me. I
know everyone on these groups wants to stay current on Ed Dolan the Great
and there is no reason why anyone should be deprived of his wit and wisdom
as long as it is of a general nature and not specific to a newsgroup.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
You giving a lecture on which groups and which topics? The "general rule"
was understood before YOU decided to cross them all together. You are merely
trying to continue to cover your ass after crossing topics to other groups.
It isn't working. We ALL know you did it!

On the one hand you try to state which posts are appropriate in which group
and on the other you state how you will cross them....?
Did St Edward abandon you...? Have you been left with nothing but "Ed the
great"?

There is a world of difference between defending oneself and pattiing
onself on the back. You are apparently unable to discern the
difference.
As concerns your bad habit of giving advice and direction when it is
not asked for or is unwelcome, you have yet to recognize that when
instruction is given that is perceived to be wrong or annoying or you
force feed instruction concerning something for that which you lack
experience, knowledge or authority, no one will heed your word. Is
this concept too difficulty for you to comprehend?

You are badly in need of instruction on many things, but I only have time
and energy enough to instruct you on proper Usenet protocols.
The lesson for today is to carefully observe my editing techniques. There is
no sense in posting ALL of a previous message when you are only responding
to a portion of it. Just post that portion that you are responding to.

There is no bigger pain in the ass than old Bill Baka. He has essentially
ruined RBM what with all his fruitcake nonsense. He badly needs to kill file
himself. But even so he illustrates perfectly my point that unmoderated
newsgroups are strictly for nuts and screwballs. Anyone with any brains need
not apply.

GaryG,
I have followed your past and recent skirmishes with the dynamic duo
... Mike & Ed and in every single engagement, it is grossly apparent
that there is only one rational voice in the arena of discussion. Only
one has his head screwed on straight and demonstrate that he is in
touch with reality and exercises common sense and it is not the
self-indulent, twisted and unbalanced Mike or Ed. Keep up the good
work, Gary. Hopefully these two can get a group discount from a
therapist, but helping restore normality to either would likey be a
career in itself. What a couple of whakos.

The only reason you favor ARBR is because you enjoy looking up at other
people.
Maybe this "Tom Sherman" found riding in traffic more enjoyable than sharing
usenet with you.
Yes, ed, many thanks for the entertainment! Many thanks for giving us an
example of "There but for the grace of God is us".
Please, keep it up. Some of us haven't had a good laugh in a while. We need
it.
Top posting is fun, low in calories and cholesterol, biodegradeable and part

If you have been around cycling newsgroups at all you would know who Tom
Sherman was. Just what newsgroup are you coming from anyway?
The reason I favor ARBR is because I am one of this nation's great recumbent
cyclists. I have over 12 recumbent bicycles which totally clutter up the
house. No one will come to visit me any more for fear of tripping over them.

Yes, I mean to be amusing above all else. But you would be surprised at what
I am able to slip in under the guise of amusement. There is always some bite
in a post of mine.

Am I really all that pissed off or do I just pretend to be pissed off? Aye,

I am on ARBR and not some other cycling newsgroup because recumbents are my

You miss my meaning...what I was saying was that it's not because of your
recumbents lying around the house that people don't come to visit you. It's
much more likely that they simply choose not to associate with you because
you're such a weirdo and a blowhard.
You've apparently structured your life and lifestyle to be as unpleasant and
unloved as you possibly can...in that, you appear to have achieved a measure
of success. Thus, it's no surprise that normal people would choose to avoid
you (despite your silly proclamations of your "greatness").

Mountain bikers LOVE to change the subject from the destructiveness of
their selfish, disgusting sport to the personalities of their critics.
Such dishonesty is the best indicator of where they are at.

If you were walking down the street, and a shabbily dressed man smelling of
alcohol and urine approached you and started to warn you about the impending
end of the world due to global warming (or flying saucers, or whatever), you
would rightly ignore him.
Here on Usenet, you *are* that shabbily dressed whacko.

Two points, Mike:
1) The shabbily dressed man in my example above truly believes in the
"truth" of his cause, regardless of how many people try to convince him that
he's deluded. Isn't it true that the people closest to you in the real world
have tried to convince you that you are misguided, and that you're wasting
your time and talents? Have you cut off contact with people you were
formerly close to because of your obsessions with mountain biking? FWIW,
these are clear warning signs of mental health problems.
2) This thread was about Ed Dolan, not mountain biking. This shows just how
obsessed and mentally disturbed you really are...you can't even ignore a
thread on a completely separate topic.
Seek help, Mike...it's never too late.

A thread is only about its' topic for the first few messages, after which
the conversation will begin to wander and can end up being about anything at
all. This is elementary and one of the very first things I learned when I
started reading Usenet messages. And thank God for it too. Any thread that
stays strictly on topic is inhuman. Usenet conversations are like real
conversations that way.
If you would like a forum where everyone stays on topic all of the time,
then you need to get to a moderated forum where an editor will have you
toeing the line. Usenet is absolutely doomed because of this lack of
moderation. I think in another few years it will just be a bunch of guys
swearing and cussing at one another - and then it will be shut down
altogether after a few murders take place.
The future will be one of nothing but websites with moderated forums.

He's not a legitimate subject for these newsgroups, nor am I. You just
want to divert the discussion away from mountain biking and the harm
that it does.

No, Mike. The only person left
here is you .. and maybe Ed
Dolan. The rest can read the
threads and see you face down
in the muck. You're the only
ones who can't . . .

I find that hard to believe. Do your friends and family support your quest
to ban mountain biking? Do they suggest that there may be better ways for
you to spend your time? Do you even have close friends in the real world?
Do you have a lover? With your obsessions and anger, I would be surprised if
you do.
And if you do have supporters, why is it that they so seldom post? The
environmental movement is large and active, and yet you consistently receive
almost no support for your strident, obsessive posts.

This thread was about ED, not MV, and not mountain biking. Of course, in
your mental state, you're unable to leave it alone even though it has
nothing whatsoever to do with your obsessions.

But Mike, you're such an easy target for this kind of stuff (it's like
you've painted a fluorescent "Kick Me" sign on your own back).
Anyway, with your long and documented history of obsessions and anger, it's
no surprise that you would choose to evade the questions about your personal
life. However, if I'm off base here, why don't you have some of your
friends and family post some glowing testimonials extolling your virtues and
celebrating all the good you've accomplished over the last 8 years?

Mr. Vandeman is amazingly single-minded and rational compared to all the
idiots (mountain bikers) that want to take him on.
Is Ed Dolan rational? Is Ed Dolan single-mined? Not so you would notice, but
what is real and what is put on? Poor GaryG will never know or even have a
clue. Why? Because he takes himself seriously. This is a tremendous mistake
on Usenet. He should contemplate my signature more and his own opinions
less.
The Great Ed Dolan loves to ramble and take on all kinds of subjects. I
present certain outrageous points of view for the consideration of
conventional types like GaryG. It is only his totally predictable reactions
that furnish any amusement to me on these forums. I tweak and he twitches!
Hang in there GaryG, I have got a million conundrums for you to ponder.
By the way, I shall post only to ARBR and RBM as far as these personal
threads about me are concerned. Mountain bikers are so far beyond the pale
that I would not want to be caught dead on that forum. Also, RBS is for
Vandeman and Curtiss. I have enough idiots to contend with on ARBR without
taking on mountain biker idiots like GaryG. I leave such as them to Mr.
Vandeman.
So keep your posts coming to ARBR and I will be delighted to answer all your
queries and clear your mind of your perpetual cobwebs.

I am NEVER at the beck and call of others I can assure you. I have always
enjoyed being a hermit. I once went almost 5 years without bothering to
speak to anyone other than the most causal formalities. I still like to play
games where I can see how long I can go with having to speak to any one or
have anyone speak to me. It is fun. You should try it sometime.

I have never had any time at all for normal people. They bore the bejesus
out of me. Why, I would rather consort with my cats than have to put up with
normal people.

Thanks for illustrating my point, ED. Your own words make it abundantly
clear that you're nothing more than a sad fear-ridden weirdo.
Like most folks, you crave human contact, but your fears prevent that from
happening in the real world. Thus, you've crafted this schtick here on
Usenet as the "great Saint"...at least you get *some* attention, even if
it's nearly all ridicule. Pretty pathetic, but understandable given your
mental state.
As I said before..."it's not about the bikes".

So when a mountain biker runs into me, or cuts down trees to build
their structures, or rides on trails closed to bikes, that's not
really happening? Interesting theory. But BS.

From what I can tell, it has been rather recently you made notice of Vandy,
who has been here for 10+ years. I don't have to know who Tom Sherman is or

You were not following any of the regular cycling newsgroups I suspect other
than the mountain bike one and possibly the social one. I had heard about
Vandeman from the other cycling newsgroups, but had never bothered to post
to any of them. ARBR kept me plenty busy.

It simply goes without saying that I am Great in every way imaginable. Can't
you tell that from my manner of my speech (writing)?
Recumbent bicycles are very expensive and so most cyclists will have very
few of them. I got many of mine quite cheap as framesets.

A lot of bikes are very expensive. I have a stable of my own. It doesn't
make me "great"... It either makes me a collector, or not the brightest
when it comes to "eye candy" and budgets.

Your modesty in the face of trying circumstances is impressive.

humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Hey guys -
Triumphantly trumpets the TROLL:

Gee, and I thought sure HELL was on his side...
>[The TROLL] will soldier on regardless of the tempests

"Tempests that reign internally"? Sounds to me like cheap
red wine sloshing around in his sotted old brain again...
>Yea, the headstones are all about, but we [presumably
>the TROLL and another of his shadow puppet user names?]
>are not yet dead!
Well, okay, but it's never too soon to plan for one's
future, and after (roughly) forty-seven iterations of the
TROLL's banal, plagiarized pseudo-eulogy, it occurs to me
that he seriously needs a bit of help with a much more
credible and relevant one, at least for this newsgroup.
I'll start the ball rolling for him, while we still
(probably, regrettably) have lots of time to polish and
refine a fitting final farewell for this forum [finally,
for real!]. Herewith, the first draft:
The TROLL was never dear, but is departed -
A sort of public service in a way.
A few folks claimed that they were brokenhearted,
But grins and giggles gave them all away.
The truth is tough, but TROLLS are not quite human;
They're more like soulless zombies - it's a fact.
Their hearts are hard black lumps of coal (bitumen)
Too cramped to harbor kindness, love or tact.
For his small heart, this old TROLL compensated,
Relying on his overactive spleen.
He ranted, raved, contested and berated;
The TROLL was, simply stated, rude and mean.
He wrote his posts in venom from his bowels,
Without regard for those he'd maim or slay.
Like militants who wrap their heads in towels,
He terrorized these newsgroups every day.
With Medicare providing drugs and surgeons,
His mortal tenure lasted far too long.
It's ended now, without six dozen virgins
To greet the TROLL and his old withered schlong.
Smooth bike paths up above the TROLL's not riding;
Valhalla didn't make a place for him.
No spaceship in a comet slyly hiding,
The odds for his ascension ultra-slim.
Old Lucifer had dibs on Mr. Dolan;
The signs were plain as anything could be:
A jerk whose only joy in life was TROLLin' -
Now fodder for a fiendish fricassee.
Regards,
Wayne

Only folks with more money than brains will spend it on expensive wine.
Hooch is hooch!

We is referring to whatever denizens of ARBR remain, not many I will admit.

Keep up the good work Wayne! Too bad no one, but no one, reads verse
anymore. Hells Bells, unless you were not writing about me, I would not read
you either. Well, you write for your audience of one (me) and I will
continue to write for my audience of thousands.
Unfortunately for Wayne, he has never yet learned what a troll is. I refer
him to the posts of Ed Gin of a couple of winters ago on ARBR if he would
like to get informed on something that he is totally ignorant of.
Regards,
Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

So you waste that much time,
effort and bandwidth
glorifying him. I don't know
which is more pathetic.
