Well I'm not leaving the list. I feel strongly about my position, I just think it was placed in the wrong forum. "White knighting" is the same bollocks as "virtue signaling"..it places the blame on the person who objects to something happening that was wrong. I'm not going to play that game. I s

I think “I should’ve DM’d that guy” is the wrong moral to draw from this story. There was some hilariously inappropriate white knight shit going down across the board, and if that came at me offline, I would post it all publicly and leave the list. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this

Also, I don't think Chris is a bad guy, I just think he had a thought in the middle of a busy day that maybe needed more editing before Send. I've done it a hundred times so I get it. Internet is an absurdly fast way to express a thought, and sometimes it bites us in the ass. Been there. -- Y

Yes, I agree I should have gone after this offline. I apologise to everyone for doing it here, and for my language. My presentation is that one should accept when they've screwed up and make amends for it without qualifiers. I screwed up by persuing the argument publicly. That's on me. -- You

I both love and hate all of you now. Velouria doesn’t read this list, and none of us deserve an apology on her behalf. Canti-Sams are not my favorite, but I sure wish the new Frank Jones Sr. singlespeeds came in 60, 62, 64 sizes. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because y

In hindsight I propose that others consider attacking or or questioning each other in PM’s. Regarding Canti Sams is there any talk of a 66cm + version for us 100PBH individuals? Or does that shift me back to the AHH vs Sam post. Love this List just not the occasional squabbling over perception

I'm sorry, it just bothers me that we were celebrating Velouria's return and it turned into this ridiculous crap. Now I've got this guy on PM calling me "a sad little man", which is just perfect. Yeah, I'm sad that Velouria might search her blog name and find that some guy was put out because sh

Agreed. My brother died suddenly six years ago. I had some people respond similarly to Christopher when I wasn’t able to complete some reviews on the website I wrote for at the time. They subsequently were reprimanded by their bosses and blackballed by some news sites for their behavior (not at

I'm sick of this stupid new world we live in where truth is whatever we say it is, and a thoughtless comment is just another POV. Sorry, sometimes saying the wrong thing is just wrong. Two years ago my friend - only 38-years-old - was diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer. She immediately went
