So now you're advocating banning those that root against your fav's? Good luck! One could confusingly conclude that you are a "hater" (whatever that actually means:rolleyes:) of Contador with your (I'm guessing) tongue-in-cheek prognostications that he'll never return to Tour glory. Would you then consider yourself worthy of being banned?

Nope, I'm advocating a serious perplexity regarding hatred and rooting against any rider (Schleck, Wiggins, Voeckler, Armstrong,...). Some Contador fans say in other forum section "~~~~ing Pharmstrong". What to say? It is complete idiotism.

Of course not. Unlike some posters I don't say "Hey, I'm a hater, love me" or "he said bad things on my rider thus he should burn in hell". Before Contador got banned, I had spoken regarding his doping saga very reservedly, saying only that I don't get for what he proclaimed himself to be a face of a new clean cycling. There were lots of ways to avoid of pathos statements, but he decided to extract a maximum value even out of it trying to raise his image higher.

"He'll never win the Tour anymore" is an absolutely independent opinion and I motivated the reasons many times.

To be honest, I would ban haters and any who roots against someone [surely if one is not a hard-boiled doper] purposefully and is proud of that on the forum. I treat all riders but Andy, Kloden and my compatriots absolutely the same way and always glad when one grew up , raised his level (Nibali, Rujano, Gesink...whoever) and ready to congratulate their fans, shake their hands, etc because the guys deserved, they suffered some achievements. But if someone roots against and wishes someone to failure for lack of a rider to support... It's highly unworthy. Such people are not cycling fans. :mad:

So you're saying you treat Alberto the same way you treat almost all other riders?

Сertainly. I handle them unibiasedly as far as it is possible depending on circumstances. Probably, it's hard believe as I'm a very enthusiastic and poetic towards my riders but it is so.

Loool. I'm sorry, but if you really treat all other riders like you treat Alberto.... Man, you should ban yourself hundreds of times.

Don't simplify. I was specifying "depending on circumstances". Naturally, it is impossible to percieve Contador, Millar and say Pinotti absolutely the same way.

LOL. At this rate this thread will overtake the "General news" thread in number of posts, and possibly even views before the TDF, which will give all the TDF newbies on this forum perception that RSNT is by far the most popular team among the forums members

Yeh I know.


Even if you consider Airstream to be hating riders:rolleyes:.
It does not rectify the fact that you do it yourself, is it wrong or not?

I have always been taught that hating is merely a manifestation of a deeper love.

Well, if you're right, than it's really really scary (shivering thinking about the whole Superfan idea I've had before)

I don't really hate this team, but it's great/funny/amusing how bad they are doing with such a hyped team this year :D

You are missing the point.
This is not about cycling this is about Alberto, nothing else matters.

Alright, thanks for clarification. However it didn't interfere one to call others "fake cycling fans". No wonder!

Damn we are on page 300 already. I remember back in the day there used to be this incredibly long LA thread when he was still riding. It would be interesting to look up if we are getting close to that size!

Well, there's this one with 1000+ pages in the clinic
http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=12137&highlight=lance+armstrong

and this one with almost 700 pages in the racing forum

http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=5724&highlight=lance+armstrong

Looks like both of these came as a results of merger of other threads if I'm not mistaken

I hope some folks will join Christian and me in july and we will conquer the forum using Andy Schleck Appreciation Thread. Although the number of fans like c+c and siriuscat is very big and huge disappointment is inevitable.
