So far, excluding the poll which frankly has some seriously bizarre options, you have written no fewer than 3,792 words in this thread. None of us are any the wiser as to the point you wish to make.

Wow - you've counted the words!! Respect.

Just looking at the random jumble of colours and capitals made my head hurt.

BTW - DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST

I'LL BE BACK to explain later

I would absolutely like to be able to help here and to alleviate the pain and suffering that the op has clearly endured.
Unfortunately I too am suffering a severe disability which makes my help or involvement utterly impossible. You see I have been suddenly stricken with a complete and utter loss of all empathy whatsoever so try as I might I cannot bring myself to care about whatever it is that disabledrider is on about. I can only hope that my disability does not leave me open to the terrible discrimination that seems to have blighted the life of disabled rider, which I'm sure I would think was absolutely awful of only I had the capacity to feel anything for my fellow man.
I would add that my condition is extremely rare and whilst some people do suffer as I do from a lack of empathy it is rarely so specific as mine in that my affliction seems restricted to only one person so far and that is disabled rider.
I cannot begin to imagine what a detrimental effect this is going to have on my life but when I do I will surely be back to share it with you all in great detail with notes and bullet points.

Before I start this post. .. <snipped>

It can't be fun for you (surely?) to be passed from one forum to another, having to repeat your entire saga time and again, so here's a serious suggestion:
Get yourself a bit of free webspace and write up the whole damn thing in a way that you feel best gets your message across. You will then be in complete control of how it is presented, and in control of allowing or disallowing comments from your readers. Once you're happy with the message, come back here and post the link to it - what could be simpler?

I've never yet met a cyclist who wasn't willing to help a fellow cyclist in need, and if anyone here can offer you help or advice then I'm sure they will.. once they know what the problem is!

It's obvious that your methods have sufficiently irritated at least three other forums to get you kicked off. Take some time to consider that this means your approach hasn't worked and that you need to fix it.

Ok, First off.
Prelude:

Please take the time to read my first post in the introductions of new members, There are some very important points, in there, to keep in mind, while reading any of my threads or posts, that I may add to this forum.

I do have an agenda, by starting this thread. To all intent and purpose it has direct relevance to my situation even when it may seam off topic. Some of the stuff that may appear off topic, is me simply trying to explain to you, the situation I find myself in, in the real world, that has a direct or indirect impact to this thread and cycling.

I also need you, to understand, that my intelligence is much higher than by grammar. I know this and I try to adapt , by sometimes saying the same things, in different ways, to try to get you folks to understand, what it is I am thinking and trying to convey.

when quoting my posts and replying to my posts, DO NOT break the segments up. It completely changes the contextual meaning of what I am saying and will sidetrack this thread faster than screaming fire in a crowded theater. Also by side tracking this thread you would be putting me in further danger of being killed by delaying actions of people advocating for my rights. I will give an example from a previous segment above to show how doing so completely changes the meaning.

Quote "I do have an agenda by starting this thread" By quoting only this sentence out of that segment, could be viewed that my intention is to "TROLL" this site. Or some other ulterior motive.
When quoting the whole segment, which also includes the explanation, of why I am starting the thread, you see I am not actually trying to troll anything at all, other than trying to deal with something that is threatening my freedom and right to live. Which involves bicycling.

This is going to take a bit of explaining in regards to what the thread title means, and how that rights and my life are being threatened. Please be patient, it is going to be a multi posting with lots of details, Of background on my situation regarding using bicycle for sole means of transportation. Background on me personally, to try to help establish a point of view, and perspective, different than the majority of people. Detail on Minnesota laws regarding biking. Links to other sites that do better job explaining things than I could.(I DO NOT quote and link blindly,I read the content before linking to ensure of its relevance and as source of information, it has relevance, just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it is off topic or not relevant, it just means you do not understand what I am talking about, nor do you see the connection, due possibly, to looking at it from a totally different perspective or view. Simply having different views doesn't necessarily mean one is wrong and other is right, they could both be right, or both be wrong. That is what discussion and debate is about.)

Note to the Moderators: I will be discussing sensitive issues, It is NOT intended, as attacks, provoking of emotional responses, etc. There will be some conflict of views, especially, when I discuss the "exclusion factor", which is one of the worse forms of discrimination, in the damage, it does to the person that is being excluded. Guilty parties, of the exclusion, are going to be extra "vocal" on trying to get me banned. Reason I mention this, is I have already been permanently banned and silenced by at least 3 other sites, when discussing this very real and normalized form of ("DEVASTATING" form of discrimination). It is the discomfort factor, that is the cause of the banning. Not the merits or discredits of what I am actually saying. So Please do not silence the voice of Advocacy for the rights of the poor and disabled to exercise their rights of freedom of movements, By use of bicycles, which is the most cost effective and time efficient means of transportation available to us at our level in society..

I came here, because I am having a hard time, trying to find a place to speak out, against actions that are putting my life at risk and destroying my right to freedom of movement.Which also impacts other Americans in my shoes all over the USA. I came here to speak to the people, when our leaders are failing to listen or even acknowledge that there is even a problem that makes us 3rd class citizens or puts our lives in EXTREME danger.

This next cap sentence is NOT shouting it is simply in caps to ensure you get something that is important. THIS THREAD HAS DIRECT AND INDIRECT DETAILS TO BICYCLES AND CYCLING. IT WILL TAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN THE DETAILS AND HOW IT CONNECTS. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.

This thread is not really meant to be responded to yet. I haven't even gotten a chance to start filling in background info, much-less than the plea for help. It is also to test the water to see what kind of moderators manage this site and the tolerance level of said moderators. I do not want to be wasting what little of my valuable time, I have left, advocating and trying to seek help, If I am going to be silenced by moderators. early on or part way through..

Moderators am I going to have an issue with you, when discussing discrimination against the poor and disabled cyclists?

Ok been at this for a while and its late, I am tired, so signing off for now

PS stay tuned for extremely detailed background on me as a foundation of perspective in step one of this thread.

It seems to me that disabled rider is wallowing in his victim status, and that he will get some perverted satisfaction from being banned from this forum as well - it will prove he's right. As I feel like a 'rubber necker' at a particularly messy road accident when reading this thread, I for one would encourage the moderators to do just that.

Over and out.

OP, when you return, can you please get to the point about your post. So far we are on Episode 1, after the pre-lude and we really have no idea what you are on about. This is becoming like the US series of LOST - nothing ever happened over xx seasons that could have been done and dusted in one episode (OK make it two as the crash was quite good).

You've stated your disability, but what is the reason for the post ? Is it down to state laws restricting benefits, availability of equipment, you being able to cycle - then seen as mobile and having benefits reduced ? You will also have to bear in mind UK legislation is different to US, and of course State legislation varies.

As has been said you have to stick to forum rules, and as it stands, the posts you have made could be intrepreted as trolling. You need to be precise and direct to the point so that a 'discussion' can be made in this thread. At present there is no discussion, just rambling posts, and folk querying your comments.

Might I suggest, OP, that you write everything you want to say in Microsoft Word or something and don't post it here until the entire story is complete and you can put the whole lot down together. Then you won't have people replying before you are ready.

Also please note that as most of us are in the UK we don't understand various acronymns to do with your school system etc, so they are wasted on us.

[QUOTE 2074507, member: 45"]I think it would be appropriate to raise something here. I'm reluctant to, as it's a personal matter, but as the OP has himself raised the issue I'm not stepping over any gate that he hasn't already opened.

And that's about social communication. There are disorders (ASD being one) which impair the ability to understand both what's appropriate in communication and also interpretation on both sides. If this is present then it can be difficult for the communicator to both interpret what's being said to him/her (primarily as a result of a tendency to take everything literally) and also to appreciate how their communication comes across.

Whatever our knee-jerk response is to what's being said, I think it's right that this is born in mind on this thread.[/quote]
I had wondered about that myself In relation to this thread.
