Some people -

I should have expected as much . I’m posting this in a new thread so as not to derail the relevant one . It is one thing to prattle on about the dangers of drum brakes or backwards ideas regarding rake/trail . It is quite another to make glib “ I told you so “ remarks about riding on public roads to another highly regarded and regular contributor who , along with his wife were tragically injured in an accident. Both are facing long recovery - one is losing an appendage.
Is anyone else as pissed off as I am about this ?
Time to shut him up .

I didn't read it but I read what Ash wrote, so yes, pissed as well. I used my favorite tool long ago on him - ignore.

For those that don't know, you can click on a member's username at the left of any post, and then click Ignore. You won't see their posts or be notified of them. I actually have a few ignored members - I don't come here to be upset or annoyed and when upset or annoyed a few times, I put an end to it.

Jerry/Les, can anything be done? It is truly a rare post that is of value to anyone from him.

I'm ignored by all the right people. Lot of freedom of speech comes with that award.

I don't ignore anyone. Ignore is a feature for message box heroes of which I am not.

Al is not on my get pissed at list. He's about 7 years older than I am and he probably says a lot of things that are curious ramblings. I have not posted in that Ash in the hospital thread. I don't really know Ash, and pretending like I know what is best for his tragic situation would be out of character for me I think. Can't add anything but bar room wisecracks, which might piss somebody off. So keeping a lid on my shenanigans.

I did give a Sad face to the initial post though.

If anyone has learned to ignore Al, it's Ashley.

I do agree with you Richard. Tone deaf and unnecessary but at least he is consistent...

Al’s not thinking clearly, and hopefully he regrets what he posted. It puts him in a different light for sure.
