Moderators

[the sceptic]

Oh dear. It has been talked about in PMs, DMs, and emails. The information is being passed to-and-fro. Many are aware of what is going on, and it is surfacing for all to see now. A corrupt governing body, backroom deals, protected posters, targeted scapegoats, and a legion of followers to attack anyone who questions the official story. The parallel is shocking. A Friedrich Nietzche quote seems apt. "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster." Yes. The lead hater has hounded Armstrong for so long that he has taken on Armstrong's personality traits and methods.

Where is Walsh when you need him? Where is the CIRC to investigate how many members have been ordered not to respond to Race Radio or face banishment? How many have been exiled because they thought it unfair and responded anyway? How many people has he sicced the moderators on? It was only a few days ago that he let slip that andy1234, of all people, was his latest target.

It is amusing how complete the transformation is. The same person who led the charge against Armstrong's ex-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow, for standing by Armstrong stood by watching people attack the employees of Cycling News for stonewalling about Joe Papp, even though he told them he did not want anything done about Papp. The hypocrisy is staggering.

good post. welcome to the forum.

good post. welcome to the forum.

And goodbye, it seems. What a surprise.

Yup, it looked like Dr. Mas wanted to have a discussion about what to do with BPC’s posts. The mod shut down the discussion with no explanation or public warning. I assume he was given a private warning (Rule 303 no doubt) and then banned. Lazy moderation to say the least.

You can't possibly know that. Extremely unlikely that it played out that way from what I've seen.

Try not thinking the worst and putting yourself in the middle of situations about which you can't possibly know the whole story. Much better and much more accurate to assume good intention, and be sure there's a lot to it you don't know about.

Yet Northstars is a pretty accurate.

Hi Berzin,
I see you are online.

I noticed again that you are back deleting my posts for no good reason. I assume you are baiting so I will put a stop to it now.

You are not, under any circumstances (including this post), to mod any of my posts ever again. Do what you do best - sit on your hands.
You are not to edit, modify, snip or delete any of my posts in any way- if you have a problem with that - then you, not I, run along and take it up with Dan and bring him in here.

And if you attempt another stunt like you did last week with me, or anyone else - I will go straight to Dan, with all the screen grabs and other information about what you do, (and what you don't do) - and I will make sure you are Netserked.

(And if any other mod interferes with this post they will suffer the same fate)

The moderators have a difficult job keep harmony and balance. I'm not comfortable with anyone including myself behaving irately towards them.

We've all gone too far at times and the suspensions all add up even at some point.

Please cut them some slack. Because no mods, no site.

The mods do what they do to maintain a free flowing forum rather than force debate in a certain direction.

It's the tone that concerns me the most.

If it's of any interest Garmin are now doing meditation as their marginal gain. Worth reading the article:

I just deleted another one of your off-topic posts, which I believe I told everyone to refrain from in the Quick Step thread. You read the request and willfully disregarded it, leaving me no choice.

I usually ignore comments like yours, but you are out of line.

Besides, I serve at the pleasure of Daniel Benson. If he believes I should step down from moderating duties, I will respect his decision.

Your threats mean nothing to me, regardless of what happens.

This is how I feel right now

How pathetic that you try to threat Berzin not to mod you. You are not above anyone else.

And wtf does Netserked mean? I doubt you have the slightest clue of what happened.

I think it means to post bullsh*t (literally), get fired as a mod and then come back as a user and claim you "retired because of creative differences"

In my head I know it went down like this so even if it didn't this will always be the truth for me

Got to love Berzin, makes a post that is off topic whilst telling everyone else to stay on topic the joys of being a mod.
