It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

A missing person report prompted a massive search and rescue effort in Oregon. The missing mountain biker managed to self-extract himself from the wilderness after 6 days, and has made it home safe.

The rider is Ralph Sawyer, a 52-year-old mountain biker who is said to be familiar with the area.

his car was located at a trailhead by his wife Marcy. His cell phone had accidentally been left inside.

Class-A adulterer ๐Ÿ˜‚ "Honey, I swear I was just lost for the week." j/k

I'm really surprised that someone who goes into remote areas to bike wouldn't have a bike computer (with GPS) or a fitness tracker watch (also with GPS) or a location beacon (with GPS).

The search for him covered 250 miles (and they didn't find him)... ๐Ÿง

This sounds suspicious ๐Ÿค”
