Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

[BroDeal]

Says the guy with the Sky kit avatar.
See what you did.
BTW. Sentence structure, look it up, improve.

Looks like he has reverted to the Sky fanboy modus operandi: Tossing his toys out the pram and lashing out at anyone who posts something that could be construed as untoward about "his" team, even if it is in a thread that has nothing to do about Sky. Skrybaby for sure.

Ouch. You find my weak spot there. Criticism of my sentence structure when I post on an internet forum.

And yet you were the one to bring it up Chef.

bump

yes! hoggie is excused so much more........................

and i receive warning from mods to refer to thehog only as their correct

handle thehog

yet? it's ok for other members to use 'hoggie'

ha ha! here we go again..........................................

further warning from sitting b telling me that there will be 'consequences' if i

address lord hog as hoggie

yet? they are unable to explain just why it is acceptable for other members

to use hoggie but not myself

the plot thickens............there is no cover-up thehog/horsinaround

despite the obvious 3 way conversation oldcrank/hoggie/horsinaround

in the tenerefe thread yesterday

Phil Anderson helped Lance race-fix, Hein helped Lance cover up positives, Motoman helped get Lance his refills, but Frankie never helped Lance dope.

Dave.

Wait a minute Dave. Anyone on the USPS team that participated in doping and did not say yes were in fact (in my opinion) enabling other dopers on the team. Pack mentality, peer pressure.

Of course I'm not saying Frankie did any cover up of LA's doping nor did he ferry dope around for him, just that all of the participants on that team were enabling each other by their actions.

If they had the balls to stand up and say NO absolutely not then they would have a clean conscious. Instead some of them decided to join in that act provides support mentally to others who are doing the same.

Also let it be known I am not taking sides here just that there is some merit to the "helped" issue.

i agree, silence isn't golden in this case

Several ex-riders from a pro team accuse the same men of being directly involved in doping them in the past.
Those accused men then deny all the charges (as do their appointed attorneys).

Much debate ensues within the walls of The Clinic.
Sniper is attacked for his cynicism.
thehog is attacked for being thehog.
Mrs John Murphy is attacked for being Mrs John Murphy.
Daniel Benson is attacked for...[fill in the blank]
The Hitch delivers irrefutable facts that don't sit well with some of the other Brits and Dutchies.
Libertine Seguros proves (once again) to be the smartest.
BroDeal proves (once again) to be the most clever.

Moderators are attacked for both moderating and not moderating.


You're welcome.

What are you on about? Learn how to sentence, please

Yikes, 3-way sockpuppet?

....further warning from sitting b telling me that there will be 'consequences' if i address lord hog as hoggie...yet they are unable to explain just why it is acceptable for other members to use hoggie but not myself...

What are you on about?...

As ebandit has opened the door to PRIVATE messages (PM) I will reveal I have politely asked ebandit numerous times to please use thehogs correct handle and clearly explained the reason why. I have also politefully explained that if ebandit chooses to ignore the direction of a mod the consequences will be on ebandits head.

ebandit has clearly indicated he does not axcept any of my explanations or directions and will continue to do whatever he wants. ebandit also insinuated I am corrupt and then called me biased. ebandit now chooses to make public a PRIVATE message (PM)

Make of that what you will.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Make of that what you will.

So is it the case that you have only warned ebandit about using the nickname Hoggie or have you warned everyone that uses it?

 

[pedaling squares]

Private message......................nom de guerre
once you send them bytes downstream........... they're not yours any more.

Never trust an ebandit.

God it's really annoying.............typing like this. Not sure how he...... does it.

I've been calling the porcine predictor 'hoggie' for 4 years......... my time here may be short..............

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

As you all know, we react mainly to reported postings. Perhaps other uses of the name "hoggie" have never been reported.

It is actually two situations here: users being perhaps too sensitive about nicknames or targeting one particular other user, on the one hand; and on the other, users disregarding mods' warnings.

The mods will have to consider this whole thing. Thank you for your understanding.

That thread has always been closed, so that only mods can post in it.

ha Ha.............funny guy

What are you on about? Learn how to sentence, please

ha Ha!.......is this an internet forum .............or an english language class?

sorry! my post proved............challenging

 

[ebandit]

sorry!

sorry! sitting b......here you confirm your unsuitability to be a mod

i have NOT disclosed pm............you warned me about using hoggie in a

public place when editing my post

and here you reveal detail of my pm's

you have given no valid reason why i should not use hoggie ......i have given

varied reason why hoggie is NOT derogatory + the obvious detail that hoggie

is NOT offended by others using hoggie

yes! i did ask why you favour your friend hoggie ( privately ) a reasoned

decision would be to tell them 'to get real' when reading their complaint

why threaten me with 'consequences' for such a minor infraction?

 

[ebandit]

on ignore

.

It is actually two situations here: users being perhaps too sensitive about nicknames or targeting one particular other user, on the one hand; and on the other, users disregarding mods' warnings.

yes! with this warning i choose to ignore mods

not to be difficult but because there is no justification in warning a member

for referring to thehog as hoggie............it is a perfectly cordial greeting

 

[Ferminal]

I do not advise anyone else to take it upon themselves to ignore mod requests, whatever you may think of them.

 

[ebandit]

lightly

I do not advise anyone else to take it upon themselves to ignore mod requests, whatever you may think of them.

fermie this is not something i did lightly.............i explained that my decision

was in reaction to warnings that lacked merit

now are you offended by my referral to yourself as fermie.......exactly!

 

[Ferminal]

efermi would be more appropriate.

 

[ebandit]

sorry!

efermi would be more appropriate.

sorry! fermie...........that's way too clever for myself

 

[Semper Fidelis]

hoggie.

So is it OK for some forum members to call thehog hoggie and not ebandit? I realize the reason for ebandit's being banninated was because he chose to "ignore the moderators" or a Moderator.

So is it ok or not to call thehog hoggie? How about everyone gets to call thehog hoggie on Tuesdays. Any other day is just not quite the same is it.

Anyhow it seems like a easy way out to have ebandit banninated when all he was doing was calling thehog hoggie. The moderators were angry with him and decided since he posted that he was going to ignore the moderator then it was easy to put him on ban. Wow that's great.

I wonder if there will be any twitter conversations about it? Probably not I guess.
