Ask Trev The Rev A Question

Trev The Rev

Seeing as the mods have removed the original thread, (I wonder why?), which was not started by me, here it is again.

Why?

Is about the only one I can think of.

Why did the mods remove the original thread?
Was it the abusive posts?

No, "why" as in "why don't you get it?"

I didn't start the original thread. I thought it was funny. Trying to find out why the mods deleted it.

Why have you not yet understood that the rest of the population realises that you are a complete nutter, with a realistically high chance of suffering from some legitimate mental illness.

I wasn't aware I even existed outside cycling forums.

What you must understand is that we only know you from your somewhat heterodox views as expressed here

I think the concern is that as this is a public forum, a person new to this kind of thing might see what you've written and take it as a commonly held belief

So are you saying only orthodox views are allowed to be expressed. Just because the majority believe something does not make it right.

The majority on a cycling forum is in fact a very small minority of people with biased views who are quick to attack anyone who ever questions them.

Regardless of the correctness of the belief if you are completely at odds with a community then you will attract approbation

Are you sure you have used 'approbation' correctly?

To be quite honest I reported it, as I don't think it's fair to start threads to pick on an individual. It also had nothing to do with training.

All the other forums I use have policies against starting 'callout' threads like that one.
