Does Lemond own this forum?

Seriously, the way this forum is advocated...you create a thread that mentions the good things Lance has done and it gets locked.:confused: Meanwhile, Lance hate threads are free to go on. Who owns this site?....and maybe the site's credibility is lost by allowing Lemond to post articles...

What thread of yours was it that got locked? There is still a thread open discussing what he introduced into cycling. I only deleted a thread of yours which had an inflammatory opening post and that was opened with an ulterior motive

You are right of course.

I'm surprised no one picked it up before.

Personally I send Greg $16.50 and three pies each week as payment for allowing me to post on this forum.

It depends on the poster. If one doesn't like the forum he/she may go and choose any other to satisfy his/her needs. Internet offers plenty of opportunities.

No, but there is a troll who keeps posting anti Lemond threads in a weak effort to prop up his mancrush Armstrong.

That same troll is now sending me nonsense PM's about Lemond.

Jeebus! I lost track of how many new threads that you created during the last two weeks. I don't recall any that were not redundant. A large number were locked because they were the same old rants that exist in several threads on the front page. There is a sticky thread at the top of the pro cycling forum that urges people to check the existing threads before creating a new one. All new members should read it.,

Members can turn off PMs from people not in their friends/contact list. That is how I stopped the BPC PMs to me.

That's also a good idea. I already wondered a while ago why you put me on your friendlist :p

Could we please have some answers as to why the forum is very Anti-Armstrong orientated?.

But when somebody creates a thread questioning Mr. LeMonds credentials, its all hell for leather to have it removed from the boards?.

Anti-Armstrong orientated?
There is an "Offical Lance Armstrong" thread on the main page - no other rider has that.

And this was an effort to tidy up many other threads started about him, of which there are 179 - 35 started in the last month alone.

A quick search will show there are plenty of threads questioning Lemond on the forum.

Question not answered.

Could we please try again.

Or are you a bigger troll than the pro Armstrong fraternity?.

Ok, how about no, (reasons given in earlier post).

No - I am not a troll - I am a member of this forum, just like you.

Susan, you really need to start handing out attitude checks on some of the forums members.

Where trying to rid the forums of trolling, but with attitudes like that?. I'm not convinced.

Thoughts?.

What is wrong with my attitude? You asked a question, I answered - you said the question was not answered so I put it as plain as possible.

Thoughts? you are a troll.

Your first action after signing up, prior to even posting, was to send me a rambling, nonsense filled PM that repeated all of the Public Strategies talking points that had been debunked over and over and over.

The forum is not anti-Armstrong, it is Pro Truth, something the Groupies seem to have an issue with.

This forum is.....

Does this forum only have one viewpoint on what the "truth" is?

I can now safely put everyone on ignore apart from you to get that viewpoint.

Thank you very much for saving me so much time
