May 23, 20187 yr I can't wait for this "BREXIT" to be over, done and dusted weather for GOOD or for BAD! MS. Like the Brexit thread, this really belonged in The Charging Post forum, which is for non-ebike subject discussions. .
May 23, 20187 yr I can't wait for this "BREXIT" to be over, done and dusted weather for GOOD or for BAD! MS. It will never be over..
May 23, 20187 yr It will never be over.. Indeed, it won't just go to people's graves, their views on it will be engraved on headstones. .
May 23, 20187 yr I can't wait for this "BREXIT" to be over, done and dusted weather for GOOD or for BAD! MS. Damn Its bad enough this crap is in the charging post but can we please not have it in here as well No offence flecc
May 23, 20187 yr I can't wait for this "BREXIT" to be over, done and dusted weather for GOOD or for BAD! MS. You have my full sympathy, MS. I've never seen such a pointless thread. I respect the point that anything goes in the Charging Post, but I'd prefer that that sort of drivel would be kept out of this forum.

May 24, 20187 yr I can't wait for this "BREXIT" to be over, done and dusted weather for GOOD or for BAD! MS.Thead title and statement combination don't sense.
May 24, 20187 yr Don't sense make? Or... What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ? I was going to answer transportation...
May 24, 20187 yr I'll paraphrase for him. This is a forum for discussing electric bicycles, but the largest thread in it is about politics. That doesn't make sense. Also, it's ridiculous that the guy with the third most posts in our forum has more or less never posted anything about electric bikes. That's confusing for new members, as they use that list to send private messages about the bike problems they have, but he can't reply because he hasn't a clue about them. He's only here as a political activist to try and indoctrinate forum members.

I've never seen such a pointless thread. I respect the point that anything goes in the Charging Post, but I'd prefer that that sort of drivel would be kept out of this forum. Well I did try with this post, and MS has acknowledged that this thread should have been in the Charging Post. The fact is that those posting in the Brexit thread never bring it into the e-bike forums, it's those who don't like that thread who often do! So who are the irrational ones? .

May 24, 20187 yr I'll paraphrase for him. This is a forum for discussing electric bicycles, but the largest thread in it is about politics. That doesn't make sense. And the second largest thread with 101 pages is about Vaping. Link Strange nobody moans about that? .
May 24, 20187 yr So who are the irrational ones? . That's got to be the easiest question on this forum that I've ever had to answer. It's those that post all that drivel in the Brexit thread. What are they trying to achieve. Did they solve anything? Did they change anything? I don't think so!
May 24, 20187 yr That's got to be the easiest question on this forum that I've ever had to answer. It's those that post all that drivel in the Brexit thread. What are they trying to achieve. Did they solve anything? Did they change anything? I don't think so! So? They aren't hurting anyone in the e-biking forums. That Brexit thread content is no different from what's always happened in pubs all over this land. Just ordinary normally powerless people finding an outlet to express their views for once. Ther irrational thing is those who don't like that bringing it into here. .
May 24, 20187 yr And the second largest thread with 101 pages is about Vaping. Link There is at least some common tie between vaping and e-bikes: A life-expired e-bike battery may often still contain a useful amount of working 18650 cells that can be re-purposed for a lifetime of vaping!
May 24, 20187 yr There is at least some common tie between vaping and e-bikes: A life-expired e-bike battery may often still contain a useful amount of working 18650 cells that can be re-purposed for a lifetime of vaping! Might not be much of a lifetime though! After 101 pages the Vaping thread ceased in March 2017, so maybe all the vapers have gassed or electrocuted themselves! .
May 24, 20187 yr So? Ther irrational thing is those who don't like that bringing it into here. . It's irrational that the two biggest threads on an electric bike forum are nothing to do with electric bikes and the third most notable member never posts anything about electric bikes.
May 24, 20187 yr It's irrational that the two biggest threads on an electric bike forum are nothing to do with electric bikes and the third most notable member never posts anything about electric bikes. Specialist web sites often have a forum for discussions outside the main subject of interest, it was no different on the computing site I used to work on. It recognises that people have a life and other interests outside of the specialist subject. And most importantly it generates the traffic that keeps the internet as a free facility, financed by advertising. No traffic, no advertising and we'll end up having to pay to enter the internet. I can't see an imbalance, the posts and web pages in the 20 e-biking forums outnumber those in the Charging Post by more than 20 to 1. .
May 24, 20187 yr It's irrational that the two biggest threads on an electric bike forum are nothing to do with electric bikes and the third most notable member never posts anything about electric bikes. I did a post count of those two prominent `contributors` in the Brexit thread a couple of weeks ago - in the last 1000, yes one thousand posts there was only seven non Brexit posts by one and zero by the other. Maybe i`m being paranoid but you`d have to question their motives. It`s very clear to see they have no interest in ebikes whatsoever. The time has come to bring the Brexit thread to an end i propose - how about a poll on that, see what everyone thinks?
May 24, 20187 yr The time has come to bring the Brexit thread to an end i propose - how about a poll on that, see what everyone thinks? No that time hasn't come, freedom of speech is more important. If you don't like the subject, don't enter it, simple. It's clearly titled and in a forum separate from the e-biking ones so why are you looking at it if you don't like it? Masochism? Anyway the administrators are unlikely to shut down large volume site traffic just because some want to censor. A reminder since I assume anyone coming online can read, here's the heading of the forum in question: The Charging Post A place to recharge your batteries, meet new friends and talk about things not specifically related to electric bikes. .
May 24, 20187 yr in the last 1000, yes one thousand posts there was only seven non Brexit posts by one and zero by the other. Maybe i`m being paranoid but you`d have to question their motives. It's great to see someone that shares the same insight as myself. That's my point. I would like to rout out those that are only here to try and indoctrinate members with their political agendas. I'm not against anyone making occasional political comments, but when someone has 8000 posts where 99.9% of them are nothing to do with electric bikes, one should ask what they're doing here.
May 24, 20187 yr when someone has 8000 posts where 99.9% of them are nothing to do with electric bikes, one should ask what they're doing here. They're posting in a forum that's not for the e-bike subject, so their presence and posting is still appropriate. And with reference to indoctrination, 80% of the members are in the second half of life so are mature enough to look after themselves without self appointed policemen acting for them. And the earlier accusation that the main person referred to never posts about pedelecs is untrue. He's been a member since 2013 and was already a long term e-biker back then owning two e-bikes and just about to buy a third. Here's just some of his pedelec posting examples over the years: One page of posts [0]=10845']on this link and three pages of posts [0]=10845']on this link . Edited May 24, 20187 yr by flecc
May 24, 20187 yr And the earlier accusation that the main person referred to never posts about pedelecs is untrue. .You took that out of context. To quote exactly, "more or less never"! I'll leave it to you to argue whether the 99.9% I mentioned is actually 99.8%.
May 24, 20187 yr You took that out of context. To quote exactly, "more or less never"! I'll leave it to you to argue whether the 99.9% I mentioned is actually 99.8%. In quantity of posts I agree, but for three years he only posted about pedelecs until mid 2016 and the referendum. .
