Re: Re:
<edited> You dont subscribe to simplistic reduction, but say that I am thrilled with LeMond :lol:
I personally dont really care for LeMond and I have said before if people believe he doped, so be it. My opinions on LeMond are not based on LeMond, but rather other athletes of that time and I have posted this multiple times. However, I do take issue with posters who spend their time trolling hard like sniper does. I have disagreed with sniper across multiple issues, not just the LeMond thread. It is however more blatant in that thread.
blutto said:pmcg76 said:aphronesis said:No I don't. And I said that sniper's posts may lack in terms trad history format. Or bleed too much context. But others get overly excited by that leakage and sloppy causality. None of us can say how a "thing" went, but I'm entertained by the resistance to sniper's posts and the vehemence to his (sometimes) overconnection of the dots. As perceived.
This post basically reads as "Yes, we know sniper is a troll, but he is our troll so we are fine with that and as an Armstrong apologist, we particularly enjoy that he trolls the LeMond thread hard"
The transperency is clear and the fact that Blutto and SF have been in line to agree confirms it.
As I have posted before, not all trolls are equal in the cyclingnews forum.
Also I would like to know what other posters have returned from perma-bans. I don't be here all the time so maybe I missed a few, but I cannot think of any. Was Chewie perman-banned at one time?
....let's get one thing perfectly clear you cannot call neither Aphro nor SF or myself Armstrong apologists just because we are not as thrilled with LeMond as you are....maybe that defines your bipolar world but I don't subscribe to such simplistic reductionism ( and judging from things they have said before I assume the others don't either )....
Cheers
