Joachim is consistently post after post after post flaming half the clinic.

Hitch, just read the posts and ignore the silly girl, there is no way arguing with, do not feed it. Took me also some time but it is for the best, do not push the ignore button, just enjoy the blatant stupidity. But, be aware, she will put you on her 'ignore button'.

 

[ElChingon]

There is nothing better than to ignore by posting past as if they never posted no matter what they wrote, and I'm mainly talking about those @*$^&#+*&^%# and *^$%@^#@. Just read the username and decide there if the post is worthy.

I find it unusual that someone who has lurked on the forum for years as claimed, would suddenly choose to start posting, almost exclusively in the clinic, at a huge post rate (and that's including a short ban).

Really? You find that interesting? You must be a riveting at dinner parties.

Hmmm, yet you find the trolls in the clinic interesting enough to pump out 20 posts a day in there. Should've stuck with 'Sky pay me by the post'

Jumping feet first into the clinic with all the hallmarks of an established poster will always put people's backs up. It seems strange to me that you would go from reading and lurking to a very prolific poster in the most contentious threads, that's all.

Apparently so. To be honest with you, the conviction with which accusations are made that I am [fill in name of random infamous poster here] just add to my total bemusement at the mentality of some pf the people on this forum.

Well, ok. It is strange to you. I can accept that.

why? it's a public forum................not a private club

I think they just want to listen to themselves, eBandit and they don't like any
one challenging their view.

Makes you realise why the Church of Scientology has been able to rope so many people into its cult.

Nice, a new quote for the Hitch.

often i have heard members state 'if your not a returning banned member
....how did you know that?'
as if posts don't remain for all to read

today chanced upon on old thread

http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=6347

hear dimspace called it right............'a pack mentality'

high profile members still appear to challenge alternative views and quickly
try and rein in newbie members

 

[Joachim]

Like a cult

Have you seen how the Church of Scientology deals with dissenters?

 

[BroDeal]

bro? why do you think your the only member entitled to call others clowns
, salad tossers and fan-boys etc

i'm no genius but it looks as though joachim was expressing an opinion

Jaochim uses every other post to insult everyone with the obvious goal of starting flamewars. He uses a passive aggressive technique where he liberally doles out collective inuslt then acts shocked when he is the recipient of the same abuse. For a text book case check out the BC cycling equipment thread. As the Fearless Greg LeMond points out, he cannot help himself from posting the same way in this thread

 

[ebandit]

no way

no way!..................................it's a forum......what do you expect

....everyone should agree and kiss each others.............................?

What do you expect will happen when someone joins a discussion then uses every other post to insult the group?

Which 'group' would that be precisely, and who are its constituent members? Come on, name names. The more the better for your case against me.

I'm still reeling from your deft and incisive psychoanalysis of me in your previous post. It's like I've had my soul read by a cuddly benign Hannibal Lecter, no less.

P.s. are you sure it was 'every other post'? I thought I missed out insults in a logarithmic pattern to try and outwit your forensic mind

You are off topic

This is the moderator thread and you are hurling 'clever' insults

 

[Joachim]

The last two pages are off-topic, mewmew. Quote whoever took it off-topic rather than joining in the personal attack

 

[thirteen]

hey Mods, is it possible to have a sticky in The Clinic that is for media only? youTube clips, radio programmes, etc?

people are starting their own threads because the links can get lost in the huge ones... this is good because we see them, bad because it's another LA thread and junks up the page.

people can still post them in the proper thread, but also this media-only sticky. (comments should be put in the proper threads, keeping the sticky for media only.

come to think of it, it would be a really cool thing to have in the Professional road racing section too. links for post-race interviews and the like.

i know it was tried one time before -- LA evidence links only -- and it became a big cluster **** of trolling by the lovely LL... as a rule, simply say that it is for video and radio links only and all other posts will be deleted. (that should make it fairly easy to moderate, non?)

and it doesn't have to be racer specific either, just media pertinent to that specific forum and the person can put up a brief description of who/what it's about.

thank you for considering!

 

[ElChingon]

I move we remove all stickies even Dan's, nobody abides them anyway even the mods so they are useless. That would improve the look of the site, you can add a rules section with them if you really like them and put them in the cat thread.

All hail thehog. Someone had to jump on the grenade. Way to take one for the team.

Considering how many grenades he throws, per day, failing to get out of the blast zone occasionally is hardly surprising.

 

[ebandit]

ban

i must say i smiled to see hoggie 'banned' after all he tried to get myself

banned for addressing them as 'hoggie' claiming 'cyber bullying'

yet was untroubled by other members doing likewise..........there you

go hoggie has always been inconsistent

 

[pmcg76]

Is Joachim perma banned? I would have assumed both of them(Hog & Joachim) would be given the same punishment unless there are other factors.

 

[will10]

Isn't a reason code normally given for member suspensions?
