We had to put up with their fanboy trolling for years. YEARS. It was maddening. Their evolution was predictable, and today the egg on all their faces means that it is highly unlikely they will ever come here and try to repair the damage they did. They slandered Betsy, Mike, and many, many others who simply told what was plainly obvious to anyone not blinded by hero worship.

Lance was driver of all their hatred and hours of time spent trying to thwart honest, well reasoned commentary on the obviousness of the doping. When he said that he doped last night, I am sure there was a gasp from many of them as they still probably believed in the myth. I'm sorry they believed in "miracles." They called us cynics, skeptics, and haters. We were always just some dudes and dudettes who could smell what The Rock was cooking. We fought hard and long on the battlefields of ignorance, striving with our every last breath to help them see the light of truth and all that is good and pure, but they would not see it...he would not see it.

Well, now I want my apology. I want Oprah to go back and do a 3 minute interview and ask him what name he posted under here... and his subsequent sock puppets. I want to hear the words "those dudes and dudettes were righteous warriors of truth and justice, and I salute them." Until then, I withhold my absolution. I know he cannot sleep without it, and I enjoy knowing he has sleepless nights where he lies awake thinking of the meanness in our twitter slap fight; where he thinks of the time his minions spent producing and slinging the sludge of their deceit.

Oh yes, Lance owes us an apology...but I will take cash also.

CLINIC 12 4EVER!!!!

I am totally short on time and long term memory.

We can group them:

Moderators who acted as Armstrong's hatchetmen and women on the forums, allowing the trolls free reign while trigger happily banning those critical of Armstrong.

Trolls

The true believers who refused to believe the evidence when it was presented.

The nationalists who viewed the criticism as being anti-americanism by another name. (As a non-american this was thrown my way plenty over the years)

Those who lived their lives vaingloriously through Armstrong, and felt that any criticism of Armstrong was a criticism of them.

The various hack journalists who perpetuated the lies and acted as Armstrong's mouthpiece.

Demanding apology is another way of saying I'm important look at me.

While you guys clearly aren't.

English isn't your native language I guess, because if you can't read my original post for what it is, I can't help you.

We are the most important people on the planet.

CLINIC 12 4 EVER!!!!

If they play the game right, the various journalists that sold the myth claim victim status. They were mislead!

They hitch a ride on consensus views on the way up and the way down. It offers plenty of insight into their personal values.

That's a solid career strategy pretty much everywhere including working for dictators, plutocrats, terrorists and so on.

As a general comment, Wonderboy is like a tornado or the plague. Why would anyone want any attention from either of those?
 
An apology from Lance is a pipe dream. Even if delivered, it will have no sincerity let alone any sense of meaning for the deliverer.

An apology from the trolls, however, is worth pursuing. The trolls, the flaming fanboys, and anyone that has ever spread or implied a falsehood or half-truth about Betsy, Greg or Texpat (probably others should be mentioned, but those three capture much of the negative Lance campaigning and two are active members).

We can start with those that are still active and who have miraculously avoided the ban.

I know it's easy to forget but I thought the guy that threatened your family might get a special mention, was that Carboncrank, Jackhammer?!

To be fair there were some amazing poster stories - I wonder what happened the guy who was an FBI agent, or the one who was a professor in psychology and using the Clinic as a case study, then there was the trans Atlantic pilot ..a few journalists, lots of people who served in the military, fun times.. maybe we could do a compilation of the best posts.

Rick Reilly's apology was almost as insincere as the Uniballer's. Reilly was the victim here because Lance lied to him and mislead him...

The faux outrage of the media is hilarious - they are less angry about the doping and much more about being made to look stupid.

And of course, none of it was ever their fault.

Here's the thing - nothing really can make up for the years that the Andreau's, O'Reilly, TexPat etc lost having to defend their honour. They won't get that time back, even if they do have the satisfaction of being vindicated

Hey you forgot about Wonderlance. Some of his posts are hilarious.

Is the Clinic 12 signing autographs? Writing a book?? Might even cross paths with Armstrong on the book tour circuit. That would be fun!!! :)

Small satisfaction for something (doping, bullying and cheating)that was so obvious to those not stupid enough to fall for the Cancer Jesus myth.

Even with Oprah Armstrong has not given up getting 'something' from this, whether to defend the millions he has left or re-birth the FraudStrong brand or save his @rse from Jail.

Indeed! I believe we can now rightly claim to having WON the internet for 2013. And I further believe that there is solid evidence to claim ultimate victory for 2012 as well!

Winners of the Internet two years in a row!

It's good to be us!

Well, now I want my apology. I want Oprah to go back and do a 3 minute interview and ask him what name he posted under here... and his subsequent sock puppets. I want to hear the words "those dudes and dudettes were righteous warriors of truth and justice, and I salute them." Until then, I withhold my absolution. I know he cannot sleep without it, and I enjoy knowing he has sleepless nights where he lies awake thinking of the meanness in our twitter slap fight; where he thinks of the time his minions spent producing and slinging the sludge of their deceit.

Oh yes, Lance owes us an apology...but I will take cash also.

CLINIC 12 4EVER!!!!

Not forgetting Cobblestoned and some of the more recent contributors, mountainman, airstream!!!

Have to give special mention to Chris E tho:D

I think Speedway was the most hilarious, all he/she ever posted about was others posting about Armstrong claiming obsessiveness, but somehow missed the irony that he/she only ever posted in the Armstrong threads as well:rolleyes:

Jesus, just thinking about all the idiots who crawled out of the wood during the 2009 Tour and made this place a no-go zone!!

Trötfrötfröt, last time I saw Lance around here was during the worlds.
He hardly visited the clinic.

Just PM him and ask. :D

Say, that's a mighty fine ignore list you've got there. Did I share it with you or something?

You guys should try it. User CP>"edit ignore list" on the far right.
