Whatever happened to idleidolidyll?

[Maha]

The ''MAN'' group ended up being homophobic.
That was discovered at the first meeting three months ago when the second ''man'' turned up dressed as Richard Simmons...

[Katman]

Yeah and what ever happened to DB, Sarge, Dean, Carver and Skidmark...all complete cocks in their own right also

And I've outlasted them all.

[ynot slow]

Funny how he's gone and Harold the profit(must be money in religion)has gone awol at similar time,maybe same guy,hmmm.

[Mom]

And I've outlasted them all.

Yeah, but you are in a class of your own Steve

[Paul in NZ]

And I've outlasted them all.

Thats cos you dont believe in accidents...

[merv]

Maybe he's just shorterned his name to plain old idle

[DMNTD:Me]

I miss his uninformed, red faced, frothing at the mouth and screaming propaganda...

Still plenty of that going on around here

[Toaster]

He married DB and they lived happily ever after??

Sounds like a celebratory Mr Whippy with a flake is in order......

[Scouse]

See what happens when mouth = trousers.

Dare you to say it to his face instead of the safety of a computer screen you fucking weasle

[Mom]

Dare you to say it to his face instead of the safety of a computer screen you fucking weasle

The first time I met him in person he asked me what I thought of him...

I said I thought he was a wanker

I think he called me a lesbian in response

[MSTRS:Me]

Fuck off, knobend.
Oh - and learn to spell, too, Mr Illiterate.

Ain't it funny how online personae can quite often differ from the actual people, the human beings in "real life". Raises many an interesting question about what is real and what isn't; what is kosher internet etiquette and what should be taken with a grain of salt. Some people firmly believe that "it's just the internet" therefore you can say anything and damn the consequences; other people at the opposite end of the spectrum try to maintain and uphold values and behaviours the same as they do in "meatspace"; and then there are many somewhere in the middle of those two polarities.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And if your opinion is based purely on what you've seen/experienced on this particular forum, that will form the basis of your opinion. If you have met someone from this forum at a politically motivated meeting where people are pushing one agenda or another, that will colour your perception or further develop your opinion. And if you meet someone from this forum on a social ride, that will also change how you view that person. And, again, there are an infinite number of myriad variances between those three examples. The wonders of being human, of human interaction, I suppose.

My opinion of idleidolidyll is influenced by having been on quite a few rides with him and chatted with him at the pub. But, moreso, it is very much influenced by the fact that he was the first person to pick me and my bike up off the road when I got t-boned by a hit-and-run driver. Therefore, I have seen Mike, the more-than-decent human being; not just idleidolidyll, the brusque, political, radical, abrupt and sometimes offensive-for-the-sake-of-being-offensive KB persona. You're right though, Fatt Max, he is fun when you get to know him.

Anyway, this is just some random postulating on a Sunday morning. As you were.

And what clarity for a Sunday morning. I have the pleasure of having met some of my closest friends through KB and interestingly, a good number of them I "got off on the wrong foot" with first off through online wars. The infamous Mikey being the first that comes to mind.

Christ, even CFWB and Katman would probably get on alright.......

[Big Dave]

Nah - Mike's a pain in meatspace too.
