I Never Said "Fuck You", So What's The Problem?
I've apparently alienated everyone over at the Cat 6 forum because the last few times I've posted something, there's a few "views" and no responses. Not really anything to be upset about, yet I am. I feel the need to be accepted by those guys and I don't feel as if I fit in. I'm not trying to air dirty laundry here, but I'm a little frustrated by it. I shouldn't feel the need for fellow teammates, most of whom I've never met, to validate me in a fucking forum, but I do feel a little left out. Nor do I feel I'm being paranoid. I've lived long enough to know when someone thinks a turd's a turd. Just because I may be overreacting a bit doesn't mean I'm not touching on a real situation. A few weeks ago, one of the fellow 6'ers asked me how my healing was coming along, and I spewed out quite a long stream of wordy descriptions which I didn't think was out of the ordinary...someone asks you how you are, you tell them, right? I tend to get talky and wordy, but so what? I thanked the 6'er for his concern, genuinely, and gave a thank you out to the rest for their somewhat entertaining comments. A hundred or so views and...No responses. I felt a little hurt, but that's me. Is that so wrong? I tend to take things personally and be too nice, cuz people usually can't handle me being intense, which is usually how I feel. It's okay to take things personally sometimes, because SOMETIMES it IS personal. Fine. I can't prove I'm being avoided. Maybe I should just go on over there and put it all out in the open and see how long it takes until the fucking moderator deletes the page. Bring everyone down. Or, I could just never really post anything again, because most of the topics are cyclical hashbrown topics anyway. It's become this kind of in-joke boys club of which I apparently never became initiated to anyway. So, here's to ya 6'ers. I'll be racing next year, but only because I spent a lot of money on my uniform.

Dood. Sorry you feel that way. From my perspective, I don't see it the same way. With your healing, you haven't been around all the much, that's all, and I think everyone understands that.
Hey-yo Andy...I know in a lot of ways how you feel and what you're going through. As for C6RS, I too have had my issues with it over the last year and have found that the blog is the absolute LAST place you'd want to "talk" to most of them. The team has been joined by some real pin-heads(my opinion...)and the joy of riding with them has diminished greatly. Get yo'self healed up and let ME know when you want to get to ridin' bikes again. I've jokingly called the *ahem* older non-racer types in C6 the "Category 6 Racing Squad (Sloooow & Steeeeady) group who like to get really FUN but helpful training rides in rather than every f***ing group ride being a dick-wagging contest...
