Angry people? Nah. I post over here, over there, and YACF. All three have, ahem, objectionable people, but they're the exception to the rule.Dahon Speed Pro TT; Trek Portland

FFS, what is going on? There was a time when the most heated we ever got was about helmets good vs. bad, "hybrids are evil", etc.
I come on here for a bit of light relief (eww!) and now I end up with my blood pressure raised, driven to write angry responses because of some of the spiteful and poisonous things people are posting.
Come on, people, if you want a furious debate go and find a political forum. Can we stay vaguely on topic on here?
* (no disrespect intended)
Sam, many years ago we had a forum on here that refl.ected the needs of the users
We had:
1. Soapbox - for non cycling rants etc
2. Cakestop for Light hearted banter
3. Comuting - for commuting issues.
Now we have have no cakestop and no where keep non cycling stuff isolated- we have cakestop & commuting chat which is commuting cakestop oh and we have commuting general.
We have workshop under road and under coimmuting - we also have sections to post vanity pictures of bikesWant to know the Spen666 behind the posts?
