No - there were a pile of his posts deleted.
You know the way TheHog trolled away right under the radar? Well he went sailing past it yesterday.



If Ross Tucker (& RR) is wrong, then anyone who disagrees should be able to show where they are wrong.

What was/is happening has nothing to do with the merits of any argument -TheHog claims insider info, but RR who does actually have insider info (and points out that it can often be meaningless) - thats why Hoggies nose is out of joint.

Which leads to him occasionally making stuff up. Instead of banning him maybe the mods should make him put a nickel into a CN Forum beer fund every time his predictions go south. We'd all be drunk more often than not.

He's coming back on a Tuesday, right?

 

[aphronesis]

Implies? Thats vague and at best subjective.

Of course it does not imply a threat - here is a dictionary definition:

You'll note the word prey. Most prey face threat.

And, since the word harass was put on the table


ha·rass·ment
həˈrasm(ə)nt,ˈharəsm(ə)nt/
noun
noun: harassment; plural noun: harassments
1.
aggressive pressure or intimidation.
"they face daily harassment by the police"
synonyms: persecution, intimidation, pressure, force, coercion; More


You'll note that none of the above terms have purchase w/othe implication of threat.

So now "harassment" is "threat". cool.

Can be virtual and psychic, to the ego, otherwise it's mere annoyance or irritation, no?

 

[the sceptic]

instead of 100 pages arguing semantics how about sharing the posts that got the Hog a 1 month ban?

Generally things are more complicated than just a single post...

As I already stated, he got banned for a series of posts. Not just one.

edit: yes it's amazing how many times we have to discuss semantics here. Looks like it's the favourite subject for many.

Sceptic asked to see the posts (plural).

ups, right For some reason I misread it.
Many of them have been deleted I believe. They were all overused jokes on RR's declarations about the Mont Ventoux stage. Made also in totally unrelated threads were he wasn't even participating. None of those posts, alone, would cause an infraction. But posting them systematically caused a warning, which afterwards caused an ultimatum that he eventually ignored.

 

[ToreBear]

I think it's good that the mods noticed and did something. Hoggy can be quite funny, but after RR talked about having lunch with Porte, Hoggy got obsessed with RR.

I think RR not having an impression something was going on at sky was too much for poor Hoggy.

 

[Alphabet]

Well, I hope he can settle down over this month then. He is certainly an entertaining poster, The Clinic will be poorer without him.

Yeah.

I remember when RR said he spoke to

I remember RR saying he spoke to Sean Yates about Froome on Alpe d'Huez I think it was during the Tour and the hog went off on one in response to it. RR earned a lot well earned praise for his work on LA providing valuable info and links to us on the forum in the process. As Dr Mas said, hog tries to paint himself as some sort of person with inside info and I think in the hog's own world and mind he feels he's doing something similar with Sky to what RR did with LA which in reality couldn't be further from the truth. It's just some sort of hotshot attitude like saying Wiggins/Sky are working with Ferrari.

EDIT: How long is airstream's ban for? No length was given in the suspensions thread.

Netserk, you are a very very vile shy person. Lol you even banned me without concretizing for how long it is because you knew what wave of resentment from other forum members it would raise. You didn't answer even Christian's and gooner's question in the thread? And I know why. You have nothing to answer to look plausible and respectable because desency and honesty have never been allies in your life.

*Edited by mod*

All the more so I got married a few months ago and there are a lot of thoughts without considering cycling now. And I quit the forums with my head high.
And don't dare touch this post. PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW TRUTH ABOUT YOU.



Thanks for a lot of interesting discussion guys. Many of you are fantastic collocutors. Special thanks to the forum members I talked to more closely: Christian, gooner, 18.Valve(Pithy), movingtarget, Afrank, ContadaurusSchleck, Arnaut, Libertine Seguros, Angliru and others. Good Luck!

 

[Christian]

Goodbye, my friend. I was lucky to see your last post. Hopefully we'll see each other on another forum.

All the best!

I think it might be a while now...

Maybe less entertaining but more factually correct I suspect.

To be fair Netserk I think he might have a point... You do sometimes come across as being a bit unhappy.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Airstream farewell but I gotta say that was not very nice to Netserk. He is a young man just like you and he's trying to do the best he can.

Godspeed brother.

To be fair to Netserk, you probably wouldn't be too happy either if you had just puked around yourself a huge pile of s**t and then had to live in it.

I bet Airstreams 'girl' is hot.

When she does not have a puncture.

I hope the mods have done due diligence and confirmed that, that actually is airstream and not some diabolical plan from another user to get him perma banned.

I get the impression he already got a perma-ban because of this

Lol you even banned me without concretizing for how long it is because you knew what wave of resentment from other forum members it would raise.

Also, airstream has been banned for trolling, period, seems pretty permanent
