Posting in P and R

Hi, I'd like to post something in the P and R forum but can't.

a.) it requires separate access

b.) how is said access acquired?

c.) why would someone who has never been in P and R not be allowed in there?

d.) is P and R only for a select inner circle of BF members?

Hopefully someone can be of assistance

Who knows? Maybe he'll settle all the arguments.

Not possible and not there for arguments. Only to post some stuff that isn't allowed to be seen in Disneyland.

I put in a request to get permission to post in P&R months ago and I'm still blocked out. I must be too contraversial...

I stumbled into P&R a while back somehow and I saw something I wanted to comment on and realized I had never requested posting access. Rather than ask for access, I just scrolled on.

I can see why it is kept separate from the rest of the forum, but some of it seemed more civil than a lot of the chain lube treads.

To get into P & R you have to mind your P's & Q's.

You must not offend others to be able to enter to offend others

I really think many other forums are just as brutal as P&R. I got eaten alive on a thread I started in the General Cycling Discussion forum on an issue with a freakin' mirror

I know why you weren't allowed in. You tried entry with a Lions Paw instead of real grip mark master! Welll, duhhhhh.

I admit I like to troll P & R at times because too many in that cesspool are convinced they are the smartest person in the room.

...I think I can swing you an invitation to test for Mensa, if you want. But it's not free. P+R is still free, so maybe that's a better deal for you.
I am always entertained when people insist on wading into the cesspool, in spite of describing it as a cesspool. What part of cesspool do you not get ?

Dude.

That is not trolling. That's beer-posting.

Better to use an old score like SAT or GRE. We might be wiser with age but few of us will be smarter.

See, if we still had Trollheim perhaps he could have been salvaged. The re-education can do wonders. Such a valuable forum resource lost to bureaucratic maneuvering...

My wife recently told me that as a kid, she fell into a cesspool in Ireland.

...and he was Canadian. He and digger could have traded amusing anecdotes about life in the frozen North...while expanding the international flavor of the forum.
