I don't think so??

I thought it was a feud much like a lot of the threads for Contador fans and Froom fans to go at each other. :lol:

Thanks for banning Ryo again but I have to wonder how many more chances is he going to get? Literally 90% of his posts (if not more) are either offensive, aggressive, insulting, condescending, baiting or a combination of those. He just doesn't learn.

Not many.

Absolutely. A ban is a warning that such behaviour is not considered tolerable or consistent with the right to post. When someone is so obviously unrepentant and unwilling to moderate their practice, repeatedly inviting them to resume posting is no more than repeatedly inviting them to abuse the privilege. Enough.

So python has seen fit to put a quote on his signature of words he attributes to me that I did not make. If any mod wants info, I can point you to what I actually wrote. This needs to be fixed asap.

Dan, here is the direct quote and a little background..
the post link
viewtopic.php?p=2027460#p2027460

John Kerry is an honorable person and would not call out the Russians if there was not evidence to support their involvement

let's just leave for now that pinning a factual basis of something being true b/c a person is 'honourable', much less a politician in charge of the supepower's foreign affairs and having a dirty track of multiple wars is, yes, in my opinion, equivalent to an assumption: 'he would not lie'. check the thread, several posters challenged the rather clueless argument (bullsfan, blutto, glen..)..to me and to them it was obvious - it's a very poor judgement, much less to base an argument on such, to attribute much value to a politician's honour. so i felt it deserved attention.

when trying to quote this silly statement in my signature, i ran into a limit of characters allowed. having a choice of deleting other lines in the signature or rephrasing, i chose the latter but felt it did not distort the essence of his statement.

that's my side of the story. if you feel a change is needed, i will introduce one, but there was no imo changing the essence.

Added: when the honourable argument failed to convice, he resorted to an insult, calling myself and blutto 'stooges' of a foreign power...that was anther driver.

Pretty sure you can't infer your own meaning, reword and then claim something as a quote.

Oh, and as an FYI, this is 141 characters:

"John Kerry is an honorable person and would not call out the Russians if there was not evidence to support their involvement" - DJPbaltimore


The limit is 255...

1) You didn't supply my full quote yet again. You left out the 'IMO' part. 2) Your rationale basically amounts to the notion that it is easier to ridicule someone for straw-men rather than deal with what another person actually said. Duly noted. Posts have no space limitation and you did the exact same thing TWICE, including starting the personal attacks. Take it down now.

an argument based on 'mr kerry is an honorable man and will never lie' is clueless by definition. and b/c it belongs to you, you're clueless by definition.

i didn't call kerry names, but the author proved why kerry lied by quoting verbatim several obama officials.

that you are incapable of owning up statements amounting to very poor awareness and moreover, elevating them into an factual argument has been noted by several posters.

@glenn. That 'apology' was just as disgraceful as your homophobic slurs. You are the most intolerant and negative poster here. Insinuating that your narrowminded views are somehow my fault is ludicrous. Look in the mirror...

@python. If you haven't been following the thread, please mind your own business. Your opinion is clueless IMO.

so, pls spare everyone the whining bit about being insulted when someone used your favourite descriptor. and it was applied BEFORE your whining. besides, speaking of distortions...you chose to distort what i said about glen's opinion and went on to an arrogant suggestion.

i said:' i may have misread the entire exchange...you said about my statement ' If you haven't been following the thread' so pls, look into the mirror before whining.

and as long as i explained why i rephrased your clueless statement, i will repeat it as often as i find fit. keep counting.

 

[djpbaltimore]

You left out the 'IMO' at the end. Cutting off that bit makes it read like I was stating an opinion as a fact rather than just stating an opinion.

Mods could we merge the Dr. Freeman threads?

I'll take a look at doing that when I get back to my PC in a few hours, unless another mod does it sooner.

Deserved.

^^Absolutely

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Then I think the reasoning needs more colour. Just my opinion (haven't followed the actual incident).

Re:

When a person that signs up to be a member of this forum and immediately shows that the only reason they created an account was to single out and troll a particular member with their first 5 comments, doesn't deserve to be let to continue posting here.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ok, fair enough. Thanks.

With regards to the "Did EPO really kill some riders" thread, maybe from this post onwards (viewtopic.php?p=2043462#p2043462) the mods could consider transferring the discussion to the "first epo users" thread (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9589&start=740)?

How on earth is a newspaper putting forward a completely unsubstantiated allegation being allowed to stay in the evidence/links thread. Might as well just start putting ever single rumour in there. There is supposed to be some sort of standard for evidence as laid out in the forum rules but it seems to be ignored.
