Love them or hate them, they are here for now.

Brand name notwithstanding, this is "who they are"

I don't give a crap who makes them, I don't like them.

You got a problem with that? it's not like I'm taking yours away......

No...in this case my dad liked DT shifters too...

[zetroc]

eh...

I used to use that word once in a while, but sometimes people would say "what's a b______?" and I'd have to explain it, and tell them who Sheldon Brown was, and all of that. It got tiring. Now I just say shifter, or ergolever, or STI lever.

That's interesting, maybe it's a regional thing 'cause up this way, if you ride, no explaination is needed....

Well, sort of...
Over in the General population I responded to a thread about Ritchey travel bikes (I have one and like it). In my response was the statement that I built it up with indexed bar end shifters as I don't like B R I F T E R s. I thought it was changed by a mod without first PMing me and I couldn't see what was wrong with my post in the first place. Then they tell me of the filter device and I still don't understand why the word B R I F T E R would be so disturbing as to require sensorship. Since it was obviously deemed OT, this was where I came to see exactly what the problem might be.....still don't know....

I get it. Being edited is humbling, being robo-edited is humiliating.

Funny one of my 1st few posts had naughty wordnaughty wordnaughty wordnaughty wordnaughty wordnaughty wordnaughty word in it and it was replaced with naughty word,naughty word etc. I wasn't sure why, but thought wow maybe they really don't like that word either....It just doesn't sound right. ATMO of course.

You're living in a world ruled by a giant ape. Take it or leave it. Go check out the 'naughty word' thread for a little amusement.
