It's good to have you back.

Are you trolling again or have you not read the multiple times this has been address?

This does seem to be the proper thread for this as it is a good examples of mods doing nothing while you clog the toilet again

The ones who are regular users (by regular I mean those who have more than just a couple of posts) cannot be insulted, just like people cannot insult you or me. The others, you can I guess.

So if I understand you correct the answer will be:

Is one allowed to 'insult' any of the following persons?

Yes. These ones:

Lance Armstrong
Floyd Landis
Alberto Contador
Chris Froome
David Moncoutie
Marco Pinotti
Bjarne Riis
Johan Bruyneel
David Walsh
Paul Kimmage
Phil Liggett

Are all of the following equal?

No. You cannot insult JV and Betsy. Pinotti is fair game, 'cause he has only posted a handful of posts.

Is this correctly understood?

***

What if I didn't know that Betsy has an account here? Would it then be fair to 'insult' her, or not? What if Walsh has an account here, but I don't know? Would it then still be fair to 'insult' him?

***

If Pat McQuaid registered (and posted) here, would it then no longer be okay to 'insult' him?

I'd say yes. But if you want to be 100% sure you have to ask Dan, you know.

no it would not be fair and your post would surely be deleted.

 

[Netserk]

That's like expecting an answer from a door, you know.

 

[Netserk]

no it would not be fair and your post would surely be deleted.

Is that the answer to all or one specific question of those you quoted?

 

[Eshnar]

That's like expecting an answer from a door, you know.

He does answer. Maybe slowly, but he does Doors don't

 

[Netserk]

What was the answer to Papp-gate?

Seems like he prefers to sweep things under the carpet.

 

[Eshnar]

Is that the answer to all or one specific question of those you quote?

is there any difference?
I mean:
you can't insult them (those public figures who are also regular users here), no matter if you know it or not. If you don't, you will when we'll tell you.

no idea. I wasn't mod at the time iirc and I didn't follow the events.

What if the mods aren't aware of some public figures also being posters here?

 

[Eshnar]

It's clear that if some public figure creates an anonimous account nothing changes for anyone. If the account is not associated with the public figure, they aren't to be considered regular users

Where does that leave the Betsy account?

 

[Netserk]

Here goes a question for Dan (or any mod who can answer it):

What constitutes 'contact' in Future's T&C 5.19?

 

[King Boonen]

Netserk, how about you just don't insult people? I thought you were a mod, I've been away a while.

And you would be wrong. Please desist from this course of action race radio.

He's not a mod anymore, he resigned after it was revealed he'd been asking forum members for nudez via PM and giving them infractions if they refused.

 

[Christian]

Funny to see how he went straight from Mod to biggest critic of the Mods. But then again he was already creating havoc as a mod, now he just continues as a user

 

[sittingbison]

Netserk,
My understanding is all those names are public figures, as such they are all open to criticism and a certain level of ridicule and even insult. Comes with the territory. If they are also forum members (like say JV and Betsy), they are not open to personal insult in their capacity as a member taking part in forum discourse.

So Lance in his capacity as a public figure is a monkey mouthed lieing scumbag sociopath, but if he is posting in a thread as say "Juan Pelota" must be treated like every other forum member during that discussion

What?! Glad I took some time off...

Still a long way to go...

 

[King Boonen]

It's a joke. Hope it was obvious.

Honestly, pretty poor taste joke that is extremely insulting to a member (topical...). Afraid it wasn't.

 

[ebandit]

surely

surely?...........it's ok to quote facts as known.. read at various websites

so if we know juan pelota really is lance they may be referred to as a monkey mouthed lieing scumbag sociopath

the honest truth should not be confused with being an insult?
