Is that how Gates assuages the guilt from using his monopoly to crush small companies and hold back mankind's technological progress?

This reminds me of the parable about the rich guy who gave tons of his wealth to the poor and the poor woman who gave one cent.

Who gave more? The woman with one cent because she had nothing else to give.

For posterity's sake, this may very well be the last time Lance truly had swagger;

The next day he looked like this;

There was also a video clip of him after a stage almost knocking an unaware fan over as he made his way back to the bus.

It is never a 100% invite for anyone.

Do you have any proof that Lance is the reason they were not invited?

I never said it did - you asked for something (even though it was in the article) but I gave it to you again.

However - Livingston is still in Lances basement, and as Lance is a bully, it is not a big step to assume that is why the 5th based team got the nod above the 4th based team who had invested in the events.

Yeah, that was odd. The Antiraceradio guy is actually a nice guy who likes Livestrong but is not a fan of Lance. Some of the others are a bit more unbalanced.

I have to laugh when Lance and Johan put where I live on Twitter. The fact that they paid for my identity then send it out to their buddies to do their harassment only confirms their reputations as bullies.

If anyone is ever in SoCal, or France/Italy in the summers, Let me know we can go for a ride.
Now I'm REALLY POed. For years I've been outing his drug use on rec.bicycles.racing and here, yet Armstrong and his goons have never visited my home. Maybe its the firearms license to carry concealed?

Maybe it's because Usenet died in a torrent of spam ten or more years ago. I don't think Armstrong's lawyers are going after those spreading the word with smoke signals either.

Actually, up until 2001 or 2002 rbr was still quite vibrant. There was much discussion of the 1999 Tour and whether or not Armstrong was juiced. There were also lengthy discussion of Walsh's book LA Confidential. I posted lengthy translations of several parts of that book. At one point, Armstong made a comment that made it clear he was aware of the doping discussion going on at rbr. I'll try to dig it out later.

Is Ken Papai still there keeping the faith? That guy was hilarious.

Yes.

But, if I reveal it, that is hearsay and would work to the evil one's advantage.

However, if a silly person like me knows this... be afraid.

I do not take you for a silly man. Just that there is no proof provided and it weakens yours and others argument in this small echo chamber.They have a hard time with the facts.
You might be silly for many things like green energy but not on this subject I am sure of it. Provide the proof and we all can move along.

I keep hearing you complain about this "small echo chamber" and I have to wonder why you are spending so much time and energy here, seeing as how it is so small and unimportant. So what's your deal College or GED or whatever you choose to call yourself. Are you just here arguing for the fun of it or for profit? If Lance really is your buddy do you honestly think this "small echo chamber" and what is said here is really damaging him, and if so is your nonsensical verbal thrashing around doing anything to ameliorate that.

Long live Tom Kunich, Kurgan Gringioni and the many others of R.B.R (the usenet RBR). I'm sure that they're still all calling each other dumb-ahhsses.

I'm not going to be blamed for being a better smart *** than Wonderboy. If he didn't want to get smacked down intellectually, he should have kept his keyboard shut. He decided (if it was really him, and I am starting to doubt that it was) to give comment on a tweet I made, and I returned fire. I'm not sure how that is bullying, but you can pretend that it is to suit your narrative. I am fairly certain that the little electronic smack down I gave didn't suppress his actions in any way. I just exposed how inept he is at tickle fights. Pouty face. :(

Well, I'd say your post here pretty well supports my point about some of the clinic posters being much the same alpha male mentality as Armstrong.

All that said, I realise that sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. It looks like USADA is doing that right now, but in a way that's a little more dignified and a hell of a lot more effective.

Lance gets his fat buddy, Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wi), to hassle USADA

I'm kind of surprised at that - he's Republican, right?

After LA tweeted (twittered? whatever) an infographic a few weeks ago showing the Republicans being big donors to the superpac opposing the anti-smoking legislation he's been pushing hard for, I half wondered whether the USADA action was payback from the Republicans. 'You're now against us and not with us, buddy - protection withdrawn' etc.

No proof flick. But many here have deductive reasoning skills.

The non-cycling people I've talked to here at work are starting to see this for what it is. The Senator getting involved seems to be a backfiring PR move.

If I was to post such a claim then you would be the first to ask me to show you the proof. Nice reply about skills and the like.

Not sure how this Senator getting involved goes with Lance being a bully but YMMV.

Also that Senator had nothing to do with Kenda not getting an invite. Maybe you should phone up Kevin and ask him?

Does Lance have any ownership in Trek?

Has Trek been a campaign supporter?

Think if it like a Mario Puzo novel... time to call in the favor.

I'm very seldom on facebook, but it seems most or almost all groups that had a message related to Armstrong about doping and not being clean have gone... :confused:
