Taking the fun out of cycling; Censorship gone too far

Duh, I’m the ride leader! I’m never on here because it’s a waste of my time, and my teammates alerted me to your post

Why are defending a person that has no evidence? Yall are really good as being keyboard warriors, aren’t you? Don’t you all have better things to do, seriously? And you were not on the ride, but please be my guest and join anytime you want

Why don’t you go ahead and quote where I am defending anyone. I’ll wait.

Edit: I note you didn’t bother to quote me in your reply below. You’re obviously not actually reading what I write, preferring instead to harass me and further paint you and your team in a ridiculous light.

Fine–I’m blocking you now. Thanks for the abuse, hope your team is proud of you.

You must have an interesting bar for “trash talk,” so please quote what you are calling such.

Il be interested to see how zwift deal with this…

Take gender out of this and you have a ride leader mocking a participant for potentially not being able to keep up in a group ride on their own forum, not once but doubling and tripling down on it.
My feeling is ordinarily that ride leader would certainly take a ban from the forum and probably the platform for a short period for doing it.

Now, as that ride leader is a female and the rider a male does it make more or less acceptable or should it not matter?

As I said, interested to see how zwift deal with it.

The best part is that said ride leader is completely wrong about that part and has already had at least one wildly inappropriate post in this thread deleted.

I’ll say it again that I’d be happy to drop all this for an apology.

What’s really sad is that said person’s unhinged rants and attacks are detracting from the serious issue that this thread had been addressing.

Apoligize for what? YOU joined my ride. I did nothing but get up at 0700 this morning and volunteered to lead a ride. Yet you chose to come on here and rant about me and my leading and have yet to provide screenshots of my “inappropriateness”. Topics of today’s ride included PD5 dynamics, new riders asking questions about tech, and healthcare topics (I’ve worked in healthcare for 17 years).

Where’s my apology?

You keep defending him and replying to his posts.

YOU attacked me on here.

Stfu already and take this elsewhere
