The Article: WSJ - reopened!

[Anonymous]

But I must state the moderators are getting quicker at banning him,

I think what is happening is people are getting quicker at reporting him rather than entering into pointless debates with him.

 

[MacRoadie]

Don't you agree?

I assumed "we" meant the other 50 alter-egos you've posted under...

You are correct. I am sure I was not the first one to report this incarnation.

Please, everyone just click on the red and white exclamation mark on the right of his posts and then type BPC in the comment box. It will not take long for him to be gone if we all do our part.

"We" is a reference to the great and good majority of people on this forum. As a long time lurker I already feel apart of that.

The important thing is NOT whether there is a 900 post thread full of drivel about a non-existent article. The important thing is we banned trolls like BPC and stopped them from disrupting the forum so we are free to post 900 posts of irrelevence.

Don't you agree?

I guess I will state the obvious. You seem to be implying that you and him are the same person. So...are you?

Do you understand the madness and frustration that willfully trolling creates? Can you state honestly what you believe and why you believe it? can you occasionally show just a tiny sense of humor? And can you help us understand the thinking why an indivisual would return that many times to a forum where not simply his views but mostly his technique of discussing his views is so deeply offensive to SO MANY people?

That might be true, we might all be learning.
But another question, let's presume an article really does come out this week or in the next few weeks, would it not be better to create a new thread for that one, because this one is just filled with madness, for which I am partly to blame, I do admit.

Its him, don't respond to him. Just report his post to the moderators. They will take care of it.

I sometimes wonder, how do you guys sniff him out that quickly?

 

[alberto.legstrong]

I just feel sorry for someone who get so agitated about an internet forum that they become obsessed with participating, even on a level that is inappropriate 100% of the time.

Low post count
Humorlessness
And they always ask a question rather than stating a belief.

What did I miss? I keep missing them before they are deleted...

We're like the cool girls at the bar. Each and every one of us has a finely tuned loser detector. Never wondered why you can't get game?

 

[BroDeal]

Usual BPC crap.

Reported....

You are missing nothing - BPC/Arbiter is just going from thread to thread trying to 'bait' anyone online - kindof like "someone, please, please talk to me"......

Its rather sad really.

It's actually funny. We all put him on ignore, then you see him going from thread to thread...sometimes posting 2 or 3 times in a row with no response from anyone...

 

[Hugh Januss]

No! Don't be the fat kid who tells on me for smoking again!

It's my recurring nightmare.

OK you win. You are by far the wittiest and smartest poster ever on this forum. I can't even keep up with your rapist wit. And your circular argument style is second to none. Now will you go away?
Thanks.

 

[Hugh Januss]

This would be off topic if this thread had one, but I couldn't help noticing that the OP of this turkey has been banned. Who did he turn out to have been in a prior life? Or was he simply banned for starting this thread?

General consensus is it appears to have been a sockpuppet of 'TheHog' - although there was a thread they started on Andy Schleck that was quickly deleted which didn't appear 'Hogs' style.

I suspected it was him from the start, but if so he did a pretty good job of changing up his "style" (if it can be called that).

From Lance's interview with Reuters 2 gours ago (http://bit.ly/cfxcoQ)

Q: How have you been dealing with Floyd Landis's allegations (that you have been doping)?

A: I did my first Tour in 1993 and now it's 2010. And I won a stage in 1993 at 20 years old. I've been at the front of my sport since the day I showed up. And in the process there have been a ton of questions and a ton of scrutiny and a lot of controls and a lot of investigations.

And I'm still here. I don't see any other example in cycling or any other sports. And this is neglected to be reported. And I understand that media love the sensational story and they love the salacious and the one that includes accusations, that includes all the blood and sex and drugs.

But at the end of the day, I think my career speaks for itself. It didn't start two months ago; it started in 1999 which is eleven years ago and I'm still here. I'll look to the next three weeks, which I'm viewing from just a sports perspective. I'm not going to let any of that deter me.

In fact, in the end, it will be the opposite. It's going to inspire me. Nobody needs to feel bad for me. When you guys want to come you're going to find me on the beach with five kids running around. I look forward to that day. There will be other accusations for sure, but we can just add them to the list.

See what you have done.... Seems like you are now the attention of 'BPC's desires.

That happened to me once. I got a PM about his 'Masterplan'. It contained little mastery

 

[this_is_edie]

wow okay I admit I love this thread. It does feel like a bar conversation after a few. Everyone going on tangents, some interlopers that show up and are quickly shut down.

 

[180mmCrank]

I have closed this and if an article ever appears we can re-open it - but don't hold your breath!

 

[Roland Rat]

Can the WSJ article thread be reopened please?

 

[FKLance]

FINALLY!!
