    Every time helmets get mentioned a crowd of people come out frothing at the mouth to declare that they’re a big boy who doesn’t want to wear a helmet. Why is it such a touchy subject?

    I prefer to take it lying down – less strain on the knees and circulatory systems.

    Or better yet, implemet the user profile/post history/ignore list functionality we’ve been asking for forever, so we can just not see posts from the people with nothing constructive to add, who only come here to stir shit. Seriousy Admins, do want me to code it for you?
