Confirmed.

Anyone have an idea of what prompted him to remove his twitter account?


Just taking a break. Not being sued.
Makes NO sense.

I don't believe that for a second, neither should you or anyone else. Digger was finally held accountable for the mud that he slings....

I'm just using common sense, but if it doesn't fit the agenda then yes - "or what".

That 5000 word blog post has been around for about 3 months. Why someone would spend all that time writing about Digger is beyond me. Seriously weird and very strange obesesion. Whilst Digger's posting style didn't agree with all, he was very right about Wiggins, Sky and Walsh. It sad he was saying what the journalists should have been looking into much much sooner.

Since Digger's a forum member, is it really appropriate to have a discussion about whether he has shut his twitter account? I thought we were supposed to leave posters' non-forum life off-limits. He'll come on here and say something if he wants to/is able to. We don't know what's going on, so may be best to give him some privacy, and just wait to see if he shows up or sends a message through some trusted source with a relationship to Digger. My opinion.

Or an alternative version is that he may or may not be subject to some form of action in order to deny him in his 'pursuit of the truth' and not the 'mud that he slings' as you point out in your 2 single posts since joining.

He is clearly seen as some kind of threat by those seeking protection and the length and detail of that old blog you dug up shows the obsessive extent to which some will go to try and maintain the status quo. I think it is simply borne out of fear and is a massive backhanded compliment to him, the fact that somebody went to the bother of penning an article that can only have taken umpteen man hours to compile.

I suppose if I had 274 forum comments under my belt the "old blog post" (2 months old) would be considered legit? If not, how many comments do I need to post before what I linked becomes legit? Smh :rolleyes:

Attack me all you want, isn't that what being anonymous is all about? Attack the messenger, destroy his credibility and the things he says can be dismissed without prejudice.

I'm not the person that just removed my twitter account because of libelous statements that I made. :D

Yes, mud slinging.

Heaven forbid if you consider that to be an attack, no need to be so precious. You're clearly a very sensitive soul.

Nobody even knows if it is threatened legal action that has led to the withdrawal though I'm guessing it's a possibility.
 
So basically Pancakes is making *** claims with no evidence? The irony!

Digger is fine, I'm sure he is somewhere laughing at all of this. That's the best part of him, he never looses his sense of humor. Unlike bots, man those guys are serious.

Sorry Digger. I wouldn't wish such targeted weirdness on anybody.

I clicked the link... That's some obsession and I ain't talking about Digger! I ain't even going to begin to pick through that.
