You must be joking ..this potentially has the most entertainment value of any post so far this yearI’ll delete this so we can all start afresh
GARY

- Start date
You :
A. Really need to stop calling them that.
B. Start buying them plane/train/bus tickets instead of packing them in boxes and mailing them.
I suspect if you try both or even just A or B, your relationships may last longer.
I know. I have much to learn Master.
Gary and I share a disability, when it comes to being on a bike forum - we work in the industry and often know what we're talking about. I would like to think I have a more diplomatic approach than Gary, I'm certainly nowhere near as prolific as he was, but I know that we shared a sense of wonder at the levels an ignorant person will go to, to pretend they aren't ignorant! Gary's approach was to prove them wrong in the most humiliating way possible, mine is to dip in and out and offer learned knowledge to folk who might actually appreciate it (leaving the ignorant to hopefully learn the hard way 
)! I'll miss him, just for the fact he often backed up my offerings and was a kindred technical spirit.

A thread about Gary causing an argument about Gary causing arguments is just beautiful 
Gotta love the internet.
Wherever he is, hope he’s ok. Seems strange to just disappear like that.
Unless I missed something that sparked it

Bellend? I learned a new word today.
That, in some indirect way, is the one positive thing that guy brought to my life.
Maybe there would have been more positive things if I hadn't blocked him a LONG time ago.
By coincidence..I've been ignoring you for quite a while now ( which just goes to prove that you can't please all of the people all of the time etc...) ..but I couldn't resist a little peek ...
As you were then...
I wonder if this means we're all bellends ?
If that's the case, it leads to an important question - what's the collective noun for a group of bellends ?
An assembly of bellends ? It's presumably something which has happened many times in history so would therefore have developed into a specific word ? like a brace of bellends ? You have a knob of butter, maybe it's a knob of bellends ? Obviously in our present climate it would be possible to refer to many politically orientated options, but we try to keep the P word off the forum.
A genitalia of bellends, perhaps, @Zimmerframe

A ballbag of bellends?
Dicktators?
I think it's a Peloton? I usually refer to a pile of roadies riding 2 abreast on a Sunday as Bellends... and they're a Peloton!
“Bellenders”?
I’ve never heard this word before nor do I even know what it means. I might even be one?

They're well behaved where you are! I often come across a Peloton where they are sometimes three or even four abreast...
I just googled “bellenders”. I’m definitely not a “bellender”. 
Maybe you’re all (insert custom title here) and I’m not.Also, given the surprise attack nature of custom titles round here, I'm not sure that claiming to definitely not be something is a good idea.
But then that would make me a (insert another custom title here). I never should’ve posted in this room …I knew it! But the urge was too strong.

He's not the Bellend, he's a very naughty boy.

A helpful jerk is still a jerk. Gary is not (was not) the only one. There are others here who are helpful without feeling the need to flex their egos.
Bellendi?
I'm not low enough to comment re Gary when he's not (apparantly) here to defend himself. I'll just say that in over 20 years of using internet forums he's the only person I have had to set to 'ignore'.

He had the title of Author i wonder if he is writing another book ?, below is his first one.
But you just did
This needs two emoticons…A helpful jerk is better than a non helpful jerk
and 
And a helpful jerk is better than no help at all.
Nice try, but stating that someone is ignored is a far cry from commenting on them whichever way you try and slice it.But you just did
