One could argue that my other post was moaning about moaning, but that would be moaning too.

not necessarily

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

This is poetic and full of souplesse, so it doesn't count as moaning.

But if it's meta-moaning, it's okay again because it helps us reflect the moaning better, but from an empathetic standpoint.

It's the sort of good moaning Officer Crabtree always talked about. There's nothing wrong with that.

I was out walking earlier when someone offered me a phone number in case I was looking to buy some drugs. I declined.

Is it legal to come to the clinic with a story about being clean?

Well perhaps I was fearing it would be my own number.

I'm disgusted by all the anti-moaning discrimination. If I can't moan, I can't post!

How bad are you at walking if someone saw you and thought "He could use some help."?

Maybe if you start a moaning thread in the clinic

On a seperate occasion I was offered money by a lady, so apparently I look like a homeless junkie.

I declined that offer, too, by the way, but that happened before I knew I could have used the cash to buy drugs with.

There's a thread: "TNT is now the ultimate clean show" in the clinic. So yes, we welcome and encourage "stories" about being clean

Froome wouldn't decline the offer

Isnt that the purpose there already? At least thats been my impression, but what do I know.

All my clinic posts are laced with positivity and hope

Laced seems fitting.

Probably reasonable to expect a coming increase in the moaning.

I don't understand how Pog is doing what he's doing. And I don't understand how people follow him and defend him. And I don't understand why people are way too eager to jump on the Seixas train if he becomes the next terminator.

Some must be the best, every sport got one.

This 'GOAT' thing. Modern fetishism.

 

[topcat]

Immature egomania would be one way of describing it.
Is Pog the egoat maniac?

Thing is that cycling was thought to have different disciplines in modern times, which physiologically seemed to make sense. Froome, Sagan, Tony Martin and cavendish could all be the respective best. A GT had different people fighting for jerseys, mutants win all jerseys by accident.
That made the sport interesting and seems to be over.

This reminds me of an oldish article by Jonathan Liew. Let me quote the last paragraph:

Perhaps the reality is that around every great athlete grow two fictions: an elegant and an inelegant version. And which we prefer, which version makes more sense to us, says something about how we process our world. Are we fated to be profane and fearful, to live in suspicion and mutual vigilance, wary of one another? Or is there still a beauty beyond corruption, a hope beyond futility, a wonder beyond cynicism, a clean break to win the world championship from 100km out? I don’t have the answers, and nor do you. But I know what fiction I’d rather live in.

If you had even a shred of proof, your post might actually make sense to me. As it stands, I’m the one who doesn’t understand how you think at all.

And as a cycling fan, I’d much rather enjoy the races and the sport in general (I always have, regardless of whether a team or cyclist I disliked was winning , or even dominating at the time, just like SKY), than try to come up with every conspiracy theory I can find and keep making assumptions I can’t prove and don’t know to be true, just like you and so many others do.

For me, doing that with any cyclist or team would just be a waste of (positive) energy.

Well, one good thing about Pogi is he gave us the continuing hilarious comments of the phrophet called mou.

That is some cynical way of putting people in lockers. Almost like the exact thing what is wrong with the world right now, believe us or you are a hater and fearmonger. And when I look to the bottom of it, thats how poggies image was build since he joined the ranks of UAE, Gianetti and Matxin. Believe us or...

Lance had his I am sorry you don't believe in miracles thing. And as a fan of the sport since the 90s, i'm truly sick for what they are selling us again.
