Re: Re:

Any more than a passing mention of Froome vs. Contador belongs in the Froome vs. Contador thread. So if you want to carry on a discussion of Froome vs. Contador you should do it in that thread. This thread is for discussion of Contador.

Can I have a thread for Froome vs Quintana as well?

Is anyone stopping you from opening one?

Re: Re:

I think its wrong to have a separate thread for that discussion, its a little silly in my humble opinion!

Yes but as long as that thread exists, the discussion should be there.

You literally asked the guy why he knew Froome was stronger in 2014, sparking the same Froome-Contador debate again....

Re:

Basically this thread was started by LaFlorecita so that she would have a single place for Contador love. But you can put Contador hate here, too (at the risk of her wrath!), or something in the middle. If in doubt about whether it should go here, ask LaFlorecita, she'll know.

So one of the top threads on this forum will be completely under the rule of fleur because she originally created it whch evolved into the AC discussiong thread. Any discussion is completely ruled by her i guess?

Sounds a lot like a dictatorship.

What a *** position is that? Unless you're trolling, good one, you fooled me.

The name of the thread is 'Alberto Contador discussion thread', I just assume we were here to discuss Contador, not 'to have a single place for Contador love'. Im not interesting in posting any hate, mainly just trying to contribute with nuances! But you are right, somewhat, at least it gets perceived as hating.

Also, is this her thread more than anyone else? I also want a thread where I decide the rules.

The title is "AC Discussion thread."

Inevitably when discussing him other riders will come up. That's the way it works when talking sports. Of course 99% of Froome/AC talk can take place in the other thread, but some discussion will have to take place here. That's how a conversation works. Completely banning AC/Froome talk here would be impossible and stupid...imo.

Yes exactly... but a discussion about them that goes on for ages and ages - and let's be honest, every discussion about how they match up goes on forever - is probably better off in the dedicated thread.

Does that mean ACF gets to moderate this thread?

Quality mods!

This guy is even threatening me to ban me, don't give mod powers to people like this. We all know what happened with neTserk (no offense bro).

As Froome's no 1 fan, I feel we should be free to talk about the greatest rider of his generation [ bertie] as we see fit good or bad.
Censorship sucks. If you can get over someone else's opinion then don't look at any forum.
Free speech rules as do Sky and Froome even though I think Bertie will win the tour this year.

I want equality. Mods treat people differently.

Re:

They've always did, it's human nature. The annoying thing is that they pretend they don't.

At least be honest

Re:

I'm not quite sure what you mean with this. :O

No, wait a second, I actually don't have the faintest idea. Would you mind explaining it to me? (Either as a post or PM would both be great)

I would, sincerely, like to know.

I always assumed you're not mod anymore cause you abused your power which imo you were doing. That's pretty much it, i might be wrong of course.

Maybe you didn't want to be a mod anymore, i applaud you for that then

Good point.

The LF-clan can point at anything and get it and I still haven't got a decent explanation for my ban. Merely disagreeing with the Contador-horde and Blurry?

Ok, thanks for the answer.

So if I say that Contador won't be able to be any higher than 3rd place in le Tour (because it's better to risk winning with the cost of losing minutes, instead of sticking to 2nd place, the first from the losers), am I going to provoke the resurgence of the 4 horsemen of apocalypse, the rain of fire and the end of days? Sounds like fun.

You need to understand that that's completely acceptable behaviour which won't be punished the slightest

You can talk about anything you want. Just make an effort to do it in the appropriate thread.

Wait, is this what folks think?

I mean, the whole process was quite transparent.

 

[Miburo]

I never looked into it xD but bigmac, i think you're a reasonable person. You gotta talk with this other mod guy, he's going crazy.

What other mod guy, do you mean Maxiton? Please be specific, if your going to call someone out for being "crazy".

Is this referring to the fact that some people get sanctioned and some don't?

He means me.

To all and sundry:

Keep it on topic, post in the appropriate thread, don't insult each other, don't troll (and don't gloat about having trolled), no racism, no homophobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, or other nastiness. Very simple.

Of course it is, I have said it many times. Without mentioning names, some people can say whatever they like without even entertaining the thought of a ban

This really isn't the case as all types of people with different perspectives including some, for want of a better phrase 'big names' have been banned, that's not to say every ban is correct but just that nobody is off limits.
