The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

[ravens]

Oh well, at least this thread isn't a complete waste of time.

 

[BroDeal]

the post fabricating is bs and i suggest you report it.

I have not fabricated any posts by this Prodigy character.

 

[Race Radio]

the post fabricating is bs and i suggest you report it.

For a normal, intelligent, poster like yourself I would agree. I would never do such a thing. This is not a normal poster. This is a guy who has been banned at least 10 times. His sole goal is to bait and disrupt the board.

Some of his more ridiculous claims like

Pro Cyclist have never used Cortisone as it is useless
Betsy Andreau should have committed perjury as it was the right thing to do
Armstrong's sudden improvement was due the development of his frontal lobe.

His goal is to bait others into responding to him. If he can't do it with one of his ridiculous claims then he will invent various stories about other posters in a vain attempt to get them to respond to him.

He will be gone again soon but in the meantime expect an increasingly erratic behavior as he tries to bait other posters into responding to his nonsense.

 

[Prodigy]

But you saw RR do it and said nothing, making you complicit.

I've just read you openly admitting to being banned from this site before and now have a fake IP address. Why were you banned?

I also see RaceRadio has been banned from Road bike review.

Explains a lot.

How many sites have you guys been banned from? This must be the last place on the net where you can troll and get away with it.

but you can ignore him. just remember, stupidity is a right. i exercise that right frequently, along with a few others here.

i think you're better than that, no matter the ridiculous claims.

RaceRadio, you have no credibility. You've been caught in high level trolling and lying. Now you expect people to believe your complete misrepresentations? You're clearly the person trying to provoke. The game is up, troll. Beat it.

 

[Dr. Maserati]

....
How many sites have you guys been banned from?

None.

How many times have you been banned from this website using different usernames?

true.

As that great American Philosopher, Ted Nugent, once said

"Freedom of speech is important, otherwise you do not know who the idiots are"

i love that. that just became my personal motto.

 

[Prodigy]

That's right. But the claims weren't even ridiculous. You can read the archive and see the guy who made the remark on cortisone steroids said it was a little mistake that was immediately corrected by him minutes later. The discussion about Betsy Audrea was simply about the obvious competing moral factors at play in any case like this, and the last comment was just rudimentary brain science you will find in any text book and was not in any way presented as "the reason" why Armstrong improved.

This is the best he can come up with - the smoking gun - of six months of trolling, from almost 3000 comments.

God what a troll.

 

[BroDeal]

true.

Just stop responding to him for a while. It is clear that he is enraged that he was banned for trolling and wants us debate him about whether he was trolling or not. I think he tried to disrupt at just below the troll threshold, thought he was doing a good job, and is upset that he was judged on the totality of his posts rather than individucal posts.

 

[Prodigy]

None.

How many times have you been banned from this website using different usernames?

You weren't actually in the discussion so I was not addressing you. But is your point that people on the sites RaceRadio and BroDeal were banned from could have simply used the same tactics as they have used in this thread, where the thread is deliberately overrun with comments that someone is a troll without producing a shred of evidence?

Well if that is your point, you could be right. But unfortunately for RR and BD, in this case we do have hard evidence of them being trolls, so it's much more likely that they were banned for good reasons.

Are you going to answer why you claim to be banned from this site, Cycling forums, and why you are now using a fake IP address to access the forums? (Absolutely nailed on this one, eh?)

 

[Dr. Maserati]

........

No, actually it was a simple question about you - which in your long reply you failed to answer.

So - how many times have you been banned from this website using different usernames?

 

[Big GMaC]

I think this new one is actually BPC instead of Jackhammer, assuming those two were different people, which I think they were.

that photo is the same one CC posted so Prodigy = CC but I don't know if that means CC = BPC or = Jack111...

Now hGH is testable will Armstrongs fishes stop swimming again?

 

[Ferminal]

Good the see the topstrong thread serving its purpose...

 

[dolophonic]

Wowza..! en fuego...

 

[franciep10]

Wow I will never doubt publicus again when it comes to spotting a troll. You guys were spot on relatively normal turn to annoying in a couple of hours.

I think I'm responsible for the avalanche--having called him out so early. After my Carbon Crank-athon, I figured better to just identify them and avoid them.

In a strategic move to accelerate the conversation around our brand transformation, we announced our partnership with seven-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong the formation of Team RadioShack, as well as a critical relationship with Lance Armstrong's foundation LIVESTRONG. Together with Lance, we've made a very focused commitment to LIVESTRONG in the global fight against cancer. With our over 35,000 associates and approximately 31 million unique customers every year, RadioShack gives LIVESTRONG a grassroots platform with which to attack this terrible disease.

Over time, we expect our partnership to extend well beyond traditional point of purchase collections, which I should note incidentally amounted to more than $1.3 million, collected $1 at a time last holiday season, to include such things as exclusive LIVESTRONG branded merchandise and even the creation of a LIVESTRONG resource center in our stores.

From a brand standpoint, Lance Armstrong continues to have massive consumer appeal with a popularity rating that tops legendary figures like Bono and Paul McCartney. Lance's intense passion, focus, and winning sprit all inspiring attributes that our associates, consumers, and our brand can rally around. We also want a partner who embodies the mobile lifestyle. With more than 2.4 million Twitter followers, Lance is a pioneer in activation through social media and is passionate about the latest mobile technologies.

Our pro tour cycling team all rely on mobile and innovative technology on and off the bike as they compete around the globe. This very real and organic connection to our brand will serve as the foundation for advertising concepts including television, centered on Lance and the team, that you'll see in market beginning in late March.

So radio shack collected 1.3 million for the lance armstrong foundation and will be selling merchandise where profits will go to the LAF. Probably worth every penny they spend in terms of marketing on this... they indicated a four fold increase in media impressions from the previous year since July, mostly positive. In marketing terms that's a huge win.

No profits go to LIVESTRONG not LAF.

 

[Publicus]

The article is confusing on this point. They refer to the foundation with the name Livestrong, which is a brand, not the foundation. Thee foundation is the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Now having worked with corporate press releases this could be an error or could be intentional. Probably quickly resolved with a call to Radio Shack's PR firm or in-house press consultants.

I've noticed a lot of people use them synonymously, so I'm not sure what to believe in articles, press releases, etc. Frankly, it's a bit frustrating. As a Foundation supporter, I wish there was a clearer distinction.

It is strange.

I like the idea of a LIVESTRONG resource center in the Radio Shack stores. I hope they are good education resources and not just a place to buy Livestrong gear.
