RE: [RC] [RC] [RC] Internet dialog - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFHey, that's a great, Steph! We can certainly turn around any negative connotations and use the term, "entertainment value" rather than viscious, self-righteous, holier-than-thou, my way or the highway, pointed, caustic, nasty, or any other such terms used in the past, etc. What do you think? :) Carrie Kitley 30th Medical Group, Vandenberg AFB DMLSS?Database Sustainment Specialist (DSS) CACI?International Inc? www.caci.com dsn?276-1077, Comm (805) 606-1077 fax dsn?276-1179 <\_~ // \\ carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steph Teeter Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 9:47 AM To: ridecamp camp Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Internet dialog ah yes, now there's a fellow who could at times be almost vicious (may he rest in peace). but he made some great contributions, and oh things did get entertaining when he was around!

(can a guy be a harridan too?) I've observed a bit of 'scolding' on Ridecamp, but I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything vicious. Maybe outraged or over- emotional or holier-than-thou, but not vicious. One of the things I like about the sport of Endurance in general is that the fact that it is demanding and difficult and is very humbling - and this in itself seems to weed out the nasty people. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
