Not childish: paternalistic. I presumed the reference to Orwell would've made that clear. I cannot respect poor judgement any more than I can self-importance (for which I'm covinced drives many of the mods' decisions - Barrus just confirmed it by admitting that Martin 318is probably...

Martin 381is has given me a warning. Does anyone else think I insulted Barrus? I respect him quite a bit as a matter of fact. That wasn't clear? Martin has also now decided that it's time to change my signature. Why now and not a few weeks ago when I made it? Has it all of a sudden become...

Thanks Barrus, that does make things clearer. Thanks for pointing out that a private site can make their own rules; I forgot that. Actually, I didn't notice the Eichmann stuff before. I agree that's pretty abusive and I'm sorry you were subjected to it and it is grounds for dismissal...

Okay, thanks for responding; I do think well of CN for having this debate. I'm also trying to put myself in your position. So, you're saying Buck did abuse Laura or the other cyclingnews employee? If so, I'd agree you have grounds for some penalty at least. Is it because he approached...

Pat McQuaid Sorry, not a comedian - a bad Irish joke.

What a strange vow! Everyone crashes - no reason to get embarrassed about it.

It couldn't be; Lance was already at the bargaining stage during the TDF when he said, His reticence may indicate he's a bit depressed. Do sociopaths get depressed? Man, I gotta stop hating...I might try the Pennsylvania Dutch country; they're kinda boring but, oh well...

Projection n, psych., 1. Ascribing to others characteristics too painful to admit in oneself. 2. MadonePro MadonePro *** edited by mod ***

No, you don't seem to understand my point. Tit for tat isn't fair if the tat is wrong in the first place. This is one of the major arguments why capital punishment is wrong. If you think pursuing Armstrong is wrong, then pursuing Landis would be wrong also; the only motivation would be...

MadonePro MadonePro '....................' :confused:

If something's not right, and is something we should just ignore anyway, you think it's only fair to universalise the bad thing? My mom used to say 'two wrongs don't make a right'...I guess she was way off. What have you got against Mennonites? I got sold bad blow by one once, doesn't mean...

may I be your Robin?

It's also handy when you need to be ready for your close-up

Metaphor for the pro peloton: velo deux vitesse. Thanks to their parents' attitude, that kid is the real loser here. The rest are just there to participate and have some fun. Why fill a kid's head with the need to take advantage and dominate?
