Public Scrutiny vs Entitlement to Privacy of involved Parties

[Cal_Joe]

Well what I meant to convey was that CN forums are pretty heavy on the gossip. INDISPUTABLE FACT.

I don't see the logic in allowing all the gossip about one part of a family, daddy in this case, without some discussion of how the rest of his family might be doing. You could easily construe all the direct gossip about dad to be just as damaging to the rest of his family as would be any potential discussion about the actual other family members. How would his kids feel if they read the vitriol that gets spit around here about their dad?

Again though, it's all irrelevant because no one reads CN forum garbage except us. And if they did, they are the only ones who would really know if what was being said was true or not. What matters is what's really happening to the people being discussed, not what someone here says. You guys are confusing reality with the internet.

Do you feel that your "logic" should apply to any family/kids of any pro rider?

It's a pretty boring topic to me, but feel free if you want. Tom Boonen dating a 16 year old is about as "exciting" as it gets.

The point is the false distinction being presented here. I mean seriously people, you're going to say it's ok to absolutely trash someone's father--write absolutely horrible things about the core of their being... and then say no you can't mention that the offspring of this father might be affected by what an evil person their father is. Hilarious.

Bolded part - that's what the mods have indicated. And I don't feel free to engage in this type of stuff. Some posts in this thread by people who claim to have experience with child psychology are truly mind boggling - anyone who really has that background would puke at the thought of internet diagnosis.

Anyone who has dealt with children in a psychological setting could easily pontificate about general effects it will have on his family. Only a person who feigns detachment can be dishonest enough to suggest that it isn't possible to make such suggestions. I didn't diagnose any specific disorder or problem, just that there is a likelihood there will be psychological consequences for having to deal with a father who has done the things that Armstrong has. I know it sucks to have your hero continually poked and prodded, but stop taking it out on me.

In your world (and Francois'), saying "children of divorce parents need counseling" is psychological heresy. I didn't say, those kids are going to turn out to be pathological liars or bipolar. THAT is a diagnosis idiot. Okay, I just diagnosed you as an idiot, but sometimes things are so evident that they warrant recognition.

Toodles detached one.
