John Gobin Shaw has a nasty temper tantrum after trolls pounce on his online post, whee!

6. I have written and asked the moderator to delete your replies. If he cannot delete your replies then I have asked that he delete the post and your replies.

I have just about had it with you internet cowards who are emboldened by anonymity and distance so that you think you have the right to foist your unwarranted horning in on the affairs of others. You people give the internet and its forums a bad name.

I asked you to be responsible people and to mind your own business. Apparently you are unable to control your impulses, therefore, I advise that you remain anonymous and at a distance. You people are an embarrassment. Get off and stay off this post.

7. No hard feelings Mark R? Yes there are, and I strongly suggest you avoid crossing my path for the rest of your days. Better yet, I strongly suggest you do not let me discover your real identity and location, and that if I do, you are far enough away that it is too much trouble to confront you in person.

You have absolutely no call or reason to suggest what you do here. Your behavior is libelous and cowardly."


LOFL. Let me summarize:
Guy makes post to find cycling companion.
Trolls see post, start piling on.
Guy flips out, babbles about 9/11 conspiracy, thread degenerates into supercrazy flame-war.
Trolls rejoice!
Man, cyclotouriste has a nasty friggin' temper. I wonder if he thinks his online fit of pique is going to make him look crazy sexy to any female cyclists out there? He comes off as a bit of a psychotic. Check out all the comments, it's comedy gold.

I love the internet.

UPDATE:

Cyclotouriste is John Gobin Shaw, here's his resume (notice that he doesn't mention anywhere that his is a homicidal fruitbat):

To whomever this might concern:

You would find me to be an effective, enthusiastic, trained, experienced teacher, and a valuable asset to your school and organization. Having taught EFL/ ESL / TESOL / ESP for five years in the USA, in Korea, and in the P.R. China, I am very well aware of the differences between cultures. I am familiar with Beijing, having taught there and lived there for well over a year. I am currently learning Chinese conversational language. Looking for a job in Beijing.

JOHN GOBIN SHAW BA TEFL

Nationality: American.

Gender: Male.

Hobbies:Transcontinental bicycling.

World travel.

Single

Available anytime.

I am an American with the BA, the diploma in TEFL, certification in ESL, further studies in TEFL, and second language learning and teaching, and five years experience teaching in the United States, in South Korea, and in the People's Republic of China. About two and one half of those five years of teaching were at the college or university levels. (full resume here)

UPDATE #2:
A snarfy post from the guy at realultimatepower.net made me lol, Mr. Shaw is upgraded to NINJA STATUS:

Hi, this site is all about cyclotouriste, REAL CYCLOTOURISTE. This post is awesome. My name isRobert and I can't stop thinking about Cyclotouriste. This guy is cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Testimonial:

Cyclotouriste can kill anyone he wants! Cyclotouriste cuts off heads ALL the time and doesn't even think twice about it. This guy is so crazy and awesome that he flips out ALL the time. I heard that Cyclotouriste was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon Cyclotouriste killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw Cyclotouriste totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't believe that Cyclotouriste has REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or he will chop your head off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
