Except 'fraidy cats, of course, which are scared of everyone. But a 'fraidy cat would never get involved with anyone in the Clinic.
If you want to be feared and respected in your own home, I strongly suggest you get a dog. Just don't give it a name like Floyd, or when you turn around, it's likely to bite you in the ****.
I want to warn Clinic members that there is a disturbing new trend emerging here, cross thread specialists. For example, a scientist may post on a legal thread, pretending to know something about the law. Everyone knows that scientists make poor lawyers; they have the wrong body type to excel in that discipline. So if you see a scientist posting in a legal thread (or even worse, a lawyer posting in a scientific thread), you can be certain s/he is on a very exclusive program. For the same reason, I would be extremely suspicious of any outstanding performance by a scientist, lawyer, business person or other highly specialized professional in a GT (Grand Thread).
And btw, there are definitely people here on an exclusive program. I was able to prove this conclusively by taking a poll. More than 99% of the members I talked to denied having any connection with the best-known doping enablers. This demonstrates that whoever is associated with these enablers is not sharing them with anyone else.

Libertine Seguros said:pah. It's easy enough to fool the posting passport. Step a little bit out of line but maintain that level so you're perceived as controversial but not wildly offensive, and you'll easily fool them into thinking that's your natural level. It's the wild fluctuations that mean people get picked up on the posting passport - think DAOTEC, whose values would vary wildly from race to race - clear evidence of post manipulation. Somebody like TFF just took a bit too much of a risk.
At the same time, there were many who felt like the mods were just pulling small fry every so often so they could claim the posting passport a success, it's quite surprising to see them come after a big name like TFF, especially on the eve of the Giro.
I suspect TFF has lovely curly hair.

Thoughtforfood said:But I am from the old eastern system where I was enhanced since I wrote 20,000 words on a baby typewriter when I was 5 years old. They saw I had talent then, and set about altering my physiology to the point that if I dial back my posting too much, I might actually die. During my time off, I continued posting elsewhere, and in the absence of draconian moderation, was able to post things unheard of on this forum. I gave myself some time to dial it back down before today so that I wouldn't get busted, and I will take the rules of the forum and adapt my profile of posts to the exact parameters that fall just below being banned, but a leopard doesn't change its spots. (not that I want to post for Leopard/Trek, I have the entire, unquestioned support of my family, and have no need to leave my current team) TFF SMASH!!
