vocabulary help?

[Privateer]

Hey Privateer, I missed the initial post in question, though could you post it here?  Is the starting point LA? 

I can't go on a lot of meetups posted here because they are for the most part 'full gear' events, and I don't own leathers.  If the timing is right and I don't have work or another obligation I'd be interested in riding.  [moto]

it wasn't something I posted here.

the term that came to mind b/c it happened on an interwebz forum is "threadcrapping".

thread crapping.. hmm might work.  I've used that before but in other context.  I'll have to give it a try.

[Howie]

How about calling it what it is?  Bad manners.  Don't like the route?  Fine.  Just don't go.

[Oldfisti]

Plan-slammed?


Best I could come up with at the moment.

[derby]

Will that be this years new dictionary entry?  Like webinar, staycation, and riffage?

not exactly a new term:

come on man, this is the internet.  Not only is everyone entitled to share their opinion, it's compulsory to lodge your discontent with any and every thing.

the part that really got to me was that the three people crapping on my thread are people who never offer to organize or lead rides.  Whatever. I'm going with a couple of friends who understand it's not the route, it's who is with you.

Learn to embrace riding by yourself.

You are the Captain of the ride !

Stop when you like for as long as you like ride as fast as you like or as slow .

Turn here or turn there ...no hurt feelings and it's all about you , your bike and Nature.

When I ride with others I'm distracted , worrying about somebody else and not keeping my thoughts on my riding which I should be at all times.

If I have a destination in mind , when I get there I'll find somebody I don't know and make a new friend.

I would call it getting "Bacon Junkied". You got a nice ride etc all set up, then someone messes it all up 

Hey now!      Purely unintentional and without premeditation.  

Besides, you still got to go ride.  

I was busy falling asleep on the couch, in the chair, on the deck, in the middle of the driveway, etc...

You tell him!  He's messed up my riding for months now.

Well played, Paula!   


How long do you have to wait after the little guy is born until you can ride again?

How long do you have to wait after the little guy is born until you can ride again?

I think it's just when I'm healed up enough to feel comfortable doing so, which will depend on how things go.

[Privateer]

I think the focus somehow became "how do I deal with people not wanting to join me?"  I'm completely comfortable with people not wanting to join.  I throw my rides out, if people want to come, cool. If no one does, that's fine too.

What I struggled with was how to adequately describe their undesirable behavior.

Let it go, and move on.

No body likes to have a party .....then nobody shows up.

Kinda makes you wonder what went wrong.

Don't blame yourself.

Sometimes things just don't work out.

It wasn't anything about YOU !

make the beast with two backs them if they don't like what you had to offer.

Life goes on , don't spend too much of today being concerned about why ?

You are OK, just plan another ride if you want to and next time if you list the route say " If you don't like this route, sorry , take your own ride ."
