[RBW] Re: BQ fund drive for Black Lives Matter

[Timothy Hurley]

This is great Jan! Thanks for using your pulpit for good. There’s no such thing 
as an apolitical space; most of us here are Americans so we’re all 
involved/complicit with what’s going on wether we know it or not.

[RBW] Re: BQ fund drive for Black Lives Matter

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I agree with you, Jan: human dignity is not being upheld and we absolutely 
need to respond. Of course, throughout human history this has been the case 
since the Fall. Grin. What human dignity is, how and why is it being 
undermined, and how to we strive to restore right relationship and uphold 
the dignity of every person ... there is lots of room there for people of 
good will to disagree.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: BQ fund drive for Black Lives Matter

[esoterica etc]

As "off-topic" as some may think this post is, I don't think anyone can deny 
that the ultimate goal is to support our friends and fellow Americans who have 
been marginalized and treated unequally for long enough. For Jan to offer his 
assistance through a bike-related source is on-topic enough for me. 

Thank you Jan for having the courage to step up, even though by doing so, you 
knew it would polarize many on this list, other lists that you frequent (iBOB, 
650b), and your blog. I commend you and those at BQ for your altruistic 
actions. I have been going back-and-forth on spending the money for a 
subscription, but this offer makes it a no brainer for me. All the best Jan,

Jan this kind of stuff is wayyy OT.  Please contact Jim the site admin and 
have him remove it. Don't assume for one second I don't care about what's 
happening everywhere, this is simply not the place for it.

Jan,
I was too quick to criticize you and I apologize. These are not normal times 
and so I think off-topic may be on topic with all that has been happening in 
our world. Again, I hope your fundraiser is successful and I think your 
intentions are Obviously noble. 
Kind regards,
Doug

[Jan Heine]

I'm sorry – I had mixed feelings about posting here. I just wanted to let 
people know, not start a never-ending discussion, have all kinds of trolls 
descend on this group, etc. I offer the blog for discussion, if people feel 
the need.

Thank you.
Jan
