I just found out exactly how ban crazy. Sheesh. A little power is amazing the effect on some.
When did I return to posting, a month ago?
The Cycling News forum is looking to add some volunteer moderators with Red Rick's recent retirement. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

ggusta said:Well, guess I am here to say goodbye. Looks like I have teased the mods 1 too many times and now they are looking for a reason to ban me.
Came home to find a rather odd question from Martin implying I am responsible for multiple accounts. So in all likelihood, my account and this post will be gone quite soon.
But they ARE NOT ban crazy. Let's make that perfectly clear. But sometimes.....
see ya guys, it was fun.

Alpe d'Huez said:Actually, I'm changing my mind. Considering most of your complaints are about that thread, I left the post in question, and made a post in the thread asking others to be culturally sensitive if possible.
If you cannot handle the humor beyond there, I suggest you avoid the thread, or Clinic all together, especially considering the subject matter in general (doping, cheating and speculation as such in the sport).

Please remember this and act accordingly.

Thoughtforfood said:You know, your response is maddening. That type of post has been posted HUNDREDS of times not quite word for word, but there is NOTHING distinguishing it from the hundreds of others, and the moderators here once again act like there is nothing to see here. You guys cannot be that clueless. You can't. He just happens to find his way to The Clinic, and then posts in the "I am not an Armstrong fan, but you guys, blah, blah, blah" and you open with the "everyone deserves a voice" thing?
Diplomacy has its place, but if you think that was the place, you're kidding yourself.
Susan Westemeyer said:You are entirely wrong. ALL viewpoints are allowed here.
What makes you think you write something new and different every time? Who even said the messages have to be new and different every time?
This is NOT an anti-Armstrong forum. ALL viewpoints are allowed.
If you disagree with the view, either address it politely or ignore it.
Susan
Thoughtforfood said:Is there a way to count the number of people who have come to the clinic, posted a post very similar to that, and maybe 5-10 other posts never to be heard from again? It HAS to be in the hundreds at this point.
Susan Westemeyer said:Why is this a problem for you?
Susan
Susan Westemeyer said:And no one on the other side trolls or disrupts?
Sorry, that is not how it works. Put up with it. Ignore postings you disagree with. Learn to live with a forum that allows all sides to be presented.
This is not negotiable.

The disruption starts from those who are pro Armstrong, but maybe CN cannot see that as Armstrong was seen as cycling's golden goose and even the waft he left behind is still being clung to in the hope that some fragments will fall into the coffers.
Susan Westemeyer said:Please do not attribute everything to CN policy. You do not know what it is.
This is my personal policy and it has to do with freedom of speech and freedom to exercise that right.
