This is such an awesome group. After watching this thread nearly spin out of control, it really is inspiring to see how group members here have kept their heads, collected themselves and maintained a very civil, polite and respectful tone here. I am proud even to be a peripheral participant.

If you pray while riding a Rivendell and in time to your cadence, I think it is perfectly on topic. On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Kieran J wrote: > I move that we form a committee to hunt down and bring to justice those > who attempt to discuss things other than which falls under the Riv lexi

Re: [RBW] Re: Prayers for all effected by violence

I move that we form a committee to hunt down and bring to justice those who attempt to discuss things other than which falls under the Riv lexicon! Penalties to infractors will include fraying their cable ends, poking pinholes in their merino knits, and [gasp] imposing sanctions on tires wider

Actually there is something wrong with the topic, as it states at the top of this page "*RBW Owners Bunch - Dedicated to the discussion of Rivendell Bicycles and products*" While some may say that Rivendell is a religion/cult, this is not the place to discuss religion, politics or guns you can

Peace needs and knows no petition . Peace is not something to be gained or lost, brought out or covered up, created or destroyed, nor subject to any-thing or any-one. Peace is native to OneSelf . . . . and prayer is consciousness of no other and none else. -- You received

For someone who usually posts with a joking/sarcastic *grin* in his posts, it was nice for Deacon to show candor in empathy and concern for recent events that have happened. The original post was fine, somehow, this tribute turned into political debate. On Friday, December 4, 2015 at 11:26:44 A

sarcasm transliterates as "putrefying thought" - it's insulting to begin with, but gets worse with time. Anyone you care for, don't do it to them. The spirit of Deac's post was good. The political issues behind the murders don't need to be discussed here, but they certainly have nothing to

What change do we want? Well, since guns cross borders easily within the United States, I want a combination of national-level gun registration (a "well-regulated" situation, just as the Constitution calls for) and national-level gun control, which would be a limit to how many guns any individ
