What I don't understand is why the commuting forum,which is largely frequented by roadies with jobs, doesn't descend into personal insults. Is it better moderated ?(it is, but you wouldn't notice). Is it because some of the Londoners there have actually met? I don't know.

Really? Who does that then?

I tend to come on here in fits and starts. Fine, if its you now, I hadn't noticed. I had thought it used to be Rick Chasey. Before that the moderation was much more heavy handed - which nearly killed the board, so I appreciate its a fine line.

What's your take on the discrepancy between the tone of the two boards?

it doesn't exist - you re kidding yourself! Commuters is the biggest boys club on the whole forum

I disagree. There are girls on there.

Your aggressive tone (and I'll admit mine in response to you and others on this thread) would not fit in at all. I don't think people get as personal as you have to me, for example. They have in the past, but threads were locked and users banned. None of which seems necessary any more.

Like this board, there is a bit of a clique of people, I'll grant you. But they don't hunt in packs, or regularly run new OPs off the board.
