Since you appear to want to make it public, here is the major reason why you get infractions and threats of suspensions:
You keep bringing up politics in threads that have nothing to do with politics.
Everytime there are relations between two or more people, politics become involved. I'm sorry you can't see that.

It is annoying, it clogs up threads, it leads to off-topic debates and it leads often times to heated and sometimes vicious debate..
Ok, there are no politics involved.
Why won't JV answer direct questions in a straitforward manner?
Take a guess what the answer is.

This is not a politics forum, go to one of those if you want to keep bringing that up.
Tell me, who is the major figure in the current doping scandals? How has he so far evaded prosecution for his trespasses?
Why do we see him cozying up to just about every major political figure in the world?
Tell me about the relations between the governing and policing bodies of cycling.

Well, that and your aggressive style of posting..
I'll quote Pulp Fiction again.
"If you don't like frightening answers, you should cease asking scary questions."
Aggressive? Maybe you should pop your head out into the real world and see the employment and housing situations of people who've been gone after aggressively and viciously. Here it's just sticks and stones and it really hasn't even gone
that far.

And had you suggested it and stayed out of the topic, perhaps the thread would have died a natural death, such as most topics do. It was mainly you who kept the thread alive.
It was mainly me who was being judged as to be the subject of litigation, dishonesty, and nefarious motives. I'm going to defend myself from that. You'd have people bait me and then I sit quietly.

Anyway, I would not be surprised that JV, even if he came online and saw these and other threads about him, would not answer at all and would not get on this forum in a recognizable form again. Frankly, I would've done that
I think many of us have made up our minds about where JV stands on clinic related issues. At the very least, he's a master of the political aspect of it.
Even though Armstrong is a crook, I have a lot more respect for his direct approach to things.
To have the truth and be afraid to wield it is a sad commentary....
Now, if someone wants to keep this going, have at it....
