[RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

I am leaving this first post intact in case any list members wish to communicate with Deacon directly. Please note - as stated (to paraphrase a certain bike company..."ever since 2007"): "*RBW Owners Bunch - Dedicated to the discussion of Rivendell Bicycles and products* Ride reports encourage

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

Joe - I keep referring to him as "Deacon" in order to avoid confusion with the other Patrick. He is a real deacon, BTW, in his local Roman Catholic congregation, something he takes very seriously. On Friday, December 18, 2020 at 2:33:01 PM UTC-6 Joe Bernard wrote: > Let me say this about that

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

Steve, again - as I stated previously, I did not follow the thread that involved the discussion of "reparations," but some remark that someone made must have been taken as hostile to a reply that Deacon made. Hence, he (wisely) decided to back out of the list entirely because he evidently felt

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

Regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of those arguments, in no way do they affect what goes on on this list that I can see.  Can you show me any instances where I'm incorrect about that? On 12/18/20 3:21 PM, George Schick wrote: Steve - Deacon used the phrase "rise of the cancel culture"

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

Steve - Deacon used the phrase "rise of the cancel culture" in his reply to Patrick's inquiry. The author of the review of that book I cited carefully discusses the intersection of conflicting views that eventually result in the refusal to pay attention to any of them under the guise of some ki

Per his blog post, he seems to be under the impression that his postings are being censored.  I can't imagine why he would feel that way. On 12/18/20 2:02 PM, J L wrote: I seem to remember Patrick’s advocacy of Homeopathy causing a stir among members. I don’t think there was any specific incid

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

In my brief email conversation with him I gathered that he finds the need to withdraw from public discussion and spend more time alone; at least, he has done this once or twice before with this list. So perhaps he will come back again. I miss his photos especially. Deacon *we're talking about you!

Re: [RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

I seem to remember Patrick’s advocacy of Homeopathy causing a stir among members. I don’t think there was any specific incident that lead to him dropping off but I’m not so much in the know. From what I gather Patrick has a full life outside of this list and made the choice to stop participating

[RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

This group is moderated. There will be times that this is referred to as "censorship", although that's a negative word I don't think applies here. I can't say anything I want on this list because it's not my list and someone moderates for content. Joe Bernard On Friday, December 18, 2020 at

I think he's responding to issues cited in the attached file. I carefully decided not to follow the threads in the "reparations" post so I'm not sure exactly what was said that triggered his withdrawal from the group, but reading the critique will give you the basic crux of what he's objecting

[RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick

I read the Deacon's blog post last night. This incidentally is corresponding with my own return to the RBW Owners Bunch after a couple year hiatus. Something pleasing about reading his words as some of my first. But like a lot of Deacon's prose I struggle with his words; I had to reread it a fe

[RBW] Re: Deacon Patrick is famous

It is a great photo. Most of us (me included) who ride solo much of the time are resigned to taking photos of our inanimate bikes leaning up against things. DP manages some great action shots. One can only assume the use of a tripod and maybe time-lapse photography? A simple camera timer might
