Everyone's met Big Dave. I think I even saw him kissing some babies at the shopping centre last week!

Zaphod: If there's anything around here more important than my ego, I want it caught and shot now!

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.

Thought we werent allowed rational, intelligent, and mature perspectives online. You cant have read the rules properly.

Well that's because your a fucking cock smoker online so what would you expect?

So, just to be clear, is this thread about lamenting the abscense of III or trying to draw out a successor? Either way,

Oh yeah, I am aware that I spelt abscense wrong.
Twice.
