I joined ridecamp as a newbie who had been lurking and posting as a guest
for a little while. The information I gleaned while posting as a guest
asking questions was invaluable.
I am not here to express my opinions about whether guests should or
shouldn't be allowed to post - I'm just not going to chew on this bone.
I will say that I think it is pathetic how the informative, constructive,
helpful aspects of ridecamp seem go have dwindled into a petty, catty, place
to blast other people.
Why can't people just choose their battles. Certainly there are
more important ones than here on ridecamp. I have been hitting my DELETE
key more and more. Heck, I am embarrassed for ridecamp. Had this
stuff been going back and forth when I first started reading I would have run
the other direction and probably been completely turned off of endurance
riding. This place sounds like a bunch of silly combative
children. Are we not mostly adults here - because it sure doesn't sound
like it.
I thought that this was a forum to exchange information, ideas, stories,
etc. It appears that it has become no better than any day time soap
opera.
I hope that we can get this forum back to its intended purpose. I
personally have learned a lot here, and it would be a pitty to lose this
resource.
BTW, if you're going to blast me for what I have said, please do it
privately so as to not continue the cluttering of this forum with a bunch of
meaningless bull. Thanks.
