Ok ignoring the first part of my deleted post, which I shall reproduce below as it may be more appropriate here and others can judge its "sniping" intent.
I shall rephrase the question.
Where do weenies go for non weenie chat? Give people a forum to do it in or a sticky with some links to popular elsewhere forums. Go on give us a clue.
Original Post deleted by unknown moderator from Road forum.
Ok so this is a forum about light bikes and light parts and sometimes lightweights!
I understand locking off topic threads but feel locking the Ryan Cox thread was somewhat shortsighted and meanspirited. You can't pause to mark a mans life for fear of ..... what? bandwidth creep , that the place will degenerate into a cesspit of dope riddled recumbent riding porn fiends (i am halfway there myself). How far could that thread have gone?
Anyway 2 questions before lockdown.
How about an off topic forum? Dopers politics gossip and death? Reasons why not?
And if No where do you frequent for things unweenie! Anywhere good debate flourishs and conversation freewheels?
"..when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings."

But as to the fable that there are Antipodes, that is to say, men on the opposite side of the earth, where the sun rises when it sets to us, men who walk with their feet opposite ours, that is on no ground credible.
