Time for me to move on. RBS was basically ruined by Mike Vandeman and also by me due to our constant harping on a single topic, mountain biking on single track trails. I am done discussing that topic. I am also done with defending Mike Vandeman since I discovered that he is a brain dead liberal know-nothing. If he can be that dumb on his politics, then he can’t be all that smart on anything else. I will not bother to either support or oppose him on his special topic, but he can damn well go to Hell along with all the other brain dead liberal know-nothings. And that is what I will tell him if he shows up on this newsgroup ever again.
RBS is now open to other discussions. If some of you want to go on and on about mountain biking, I will let it pass. Truth to tell, the world is going to Hell and there is nothing anyone can do to prevent it, least of all an idiot like Mike Vandeman. The one thing he is for sure is a crank and a crackpot. I have always known that from the beginning, but I cut him lots of slack on that because of the nature of the special topic. But cranks and crackpots do not live in the real world. They live in their own cockeyed world and it is a waste of time to try to discuss anything with such types.
It is my hope that we can open this newsgroup to discussion for the purposes for which the group was established, bicycles and recreation. Surely that is a broad enough topic to engender lots of interest from a variety of folks who like to bicycle. In short, let’s start over without any more drivel about mountain biking and hiking trails.

Ed, you are being far to critical. The lefties are trying to convince
everyone that they are some sort of majority. They aren't. And every time
one of them goes off about their dream world of socialism, taught in
virtually every college in this country now, they alienate more and more
people. Did you catch that socialist woman being asked how she intended
to pay for free college and free health care? She showed the most
scrambled brains I've ever seen. So thinking people, and most are, grow
more and more perturbed by the Democrat Party and the nutcakes they have
become. Watch the next election in November - the party in power normally
loses about 14 seats but I suspect that we will lose none this year
though I doubt that we will gain any since the blue states are blue for a
reason - they are holding their breaths.

Mike Vandeman was for open borders, yet he wanted to preserve the environment in as pristine a condition as possible. When I pointed our to him this contradiction. he came back with the idea that you could control what people did no matter how crowded things got. I realized at that point that I was talking to a crank and a crackpot.Ed, you are being far to critical. The lefties are trying to convince

What bothers me the most is that certain large sections of the nation seem to be embarked on permanent liberal trajectory. The West Coast and the North Eastern states come immediately to mind as well as most large cities. Thank God for the middle of the country, especially the rural areas, which remain Republican and conservative. It was a miracle that Trump won, but you can see how the media and other mainline institutions are attempting to destroy him. The culture of the nation has become liberal and I do not know if Trump can turn things around. I suspect not.

Mike Vandeman and I petty much destroyed this news group. Tom Sherman >>>>> and I destroyed other bicycle newsgroups. This was inevitable as there >>>>> were no moderators or editors for the groups. You simply must have
them. Otherwise, craziness prevails. And as you say, normal people
will leave in flocks.
If you will notice in the comments section to all news articles
appearing on the Internet there are moderators who will delete a post >>>>> for various reasons. This is of course a form of censorship, but quite >>>>> necessary. Usenet was a free-for-all and that is what finally
destroyed it.
I think both Mike Vandeman and Tom Sherman simply wearied of the
eternal conflict. Frankly I got tired of kicking ass myself. Usenet
discussions not only needed a moderator, they also needed a director. >>>>> It is good riddance to a type of forum which was impossible from the >>>>> get-go. Nevertheless it lasted for a few years and was fun while it
lasted. We should not mourn its passing.
