Could someone please get hold of this. We have strict guidelines in the UK regarding sexist, racist and abusive remarks. These also I beleive apply in the USA. I think these derogatory petty terms like Southerners are totally uncalled for and are abusive in the extreme.

Why create divisions which don't exist.

We are all cyclists that share the same interests and passions which unite us in a common bond of fellowship regardless of where we hail from.

The area where I live is sadly covered in Second World War Memorials dedicated to the brave American airman and woman who gave their lives to get rid of racists discrimination and injustices and defend freedom of speech

It didn't matter a fuck where you came from Alamba or Rochester when you flew in a Flying Fortress or Glasgow or London in a Wellington.

America was ripped apart by a bloody civil war in part due to a north south divide. Now will all this petty abusive futile remarks stop.

You ain't funny. Now you know how I feel!
