Why not open a thread in the 'About the forum' that gives a place for posters to air these complaints?

It will be long one but better than clogging up unrelated threads.

Call it 'the handbags' thread.

It was up before your post

Just take a look.

It is a free forum. Those who have big problems with it are in the wrong place.

 

[The Hitch]

You know what.

**** it.


I would like to apologize to Race Radio for the condescending tone in my first post which naturally did not endear me to him.

Though I am adamant, and I think the record shows, that RR then went well beyond that in some of his posts to me over the last 48 hours, I accept the role my original post played in that, and in the long run, it all matters little, its just an internet forum.

I therefore offer my hand to Race Radio though I hope he will retract his earlier comments about me being a troll and acknowledge that I am not a troll, baiter, or someone who twists words.

And that we will therefore be able to continue our discussions in the cycling part of the forum, and arguing on those issues that we disagree, in a calm and neutral manner without the distractions of a feud.

I'm going to do a thehog

...This is the thread where the mods get accused of lying twisting baiting trolling inconsistent arbitrary crass power crazed megalomania, its not about you.

This is for anyone else wanting to have a whinge about other members. Please desist.

Hitch, good move. Admirable. Chapeau

I would like to also apologize.

You are certainly not a troll and I am sorry I lumped your relatively minor comments in with others more disruptive focus.

Sorry for the confusion.

Now back to talking about the sucky moderation

Why was my post edited Netserk? It's OK for someone to troll but not for me to call them on it?

You are welcome to use the report button, if you think someone is trolling.

 

[King Boonen]

But insults can remain? Good to know.

 

[BroDeal]

Stop deleting my posts in the "pulling a Wiggins" thread, which you have allowed the handbag ladies to turn into the typical "how dare someone disbelieve Wiggins" whingefest.

Big ups Hitch and RR, we see this all too rarely on the forum.

Had to Google this New one to me. But yes fair play to both H and RR.

 

[The Hitch]

Was my post [In the Alberto Contador thread, red.] deleted?

 

[Netserk]

Was my post deleted?

Did it contain clinic content?

EDIT: Though I did find it funny

EDIT2: Yes it was deleted.

 

[The Hitch]

Did it contain clinic content?

It contained 1 clinic word for purposes of a joke that clearly had no relation to real life since the joke was itself supernatural.

I remember Susan saying brief allusions to clinic matters were perfectly fine in the road racing sections, just not discussions.

We both know no one would have had a problem with it, and the thread would have gone on perfectly fine with it.

So?

What do you think the response would've been if I'd made the same (or a similar) joke regarding Wiggins in his thread?

**** 'em if they can't take a joke.

Seriously though I think everyone would have realized it was just a bit of humour.

no big deal though, joke can't live up to the hype now anyway.

 

[Netserk]

So you agree that the response won't make the joke more or less appropriate?

Meh..i wanted to be one of the witnesses and let hitch bribe me.

You're incorruptible Zam.

 

[mewmewmew13]

well I'm glad to see that everyone is playing nicely for a while

 

[Cyivel]

Sorry .....

[hrotha]

Personally I thought that Hitch-RR anticlimax was just lame. I came to watch a fight.
