yeah yeah yeah yeah. we get it. The clinic is pathetic. We are all bone idle ****ers.

Ach, now. No. Not all of you.

Everyone else in the world laughs at it

Nothing like that many people even read it to laugh, Hitch.

Even people who don't know about cycling laugh at it.

Fair point

Everyone knows Sky are actually clean and can't help laughing at these deluded folks who would make up something so ridiculous as that dominant pro cyclists could be doping.

You think that? You really think that's what funny here? hmmmm.

You've said it countless times before. Now if its really so below you why do you continue posting here and whatsmore keep getting into constant bickering and spats with any user you can find?

Sheer personal amusement, and an odd personal desire to challenge bullsh!t. What can I say, we all have our foibles.

Getting into spats with people constantly for "sheer personal amusement"? isn't that trolling?

Well, it's your view I 'get into spats'. since I don't agree, it can't be trolling, can it

But who challenges your bull****? You know the stuff you get wrong?

For instance?

Well you seemed to agree, since you answered my question in the first place

If you don't accept that you get into spats, what question where you answering with the words "sheer personal amusement"?

"why do you continue posting here"

Obviously.

 

[The Hitch]

For instance?

For instance when you said it was a never before seen occurrence for a few gt riders to miss the Tour de France in 2012.

The answer to the question btw is "The Hitch". The Hitch challenged your bull**** by pointing out that tons of favourites not contesting the gt happens in every GT and every Tour de France.

You of course did not respond, though in a post directed at someone else, tried to claim victory.

That was an intellectual @ss-handing...

Wow, you are easy pleased. and easy fooled.

It didn't go over too well

Oh no, he completely handed you your a$$.

But still no response. No explanation why my post was wrong, no challenge to my post. But you claimed victory anyway, like you usually do didn't you. Then left the thread.

 

[The Hitch]

"why do you continue posting here"

Obviously.

What is it that give you amusement?

 

[martinvickers]

What is it that give you amusement?

Many, many things, Hitchy.

 

[The Hitch]

Many, many things, Hitchy.

In which case why do you need to post to bring them out?

If the clinic amuses you so much surely you can sit back and be content with being amused?

vickars claims to be against doping. yet he spends so much time being entertained by it. just another day of a pompous hypocrite I suppose.

Now, we've been through this before. You keep spinning this same lie.

I find you and your ilk funny.

Not doping. You.

 

[thehog]

Many, many things, Hitchy.

But you don't sound amused. You sound angry and frustrated.

Or as that a veil?

 

[martinvickers]

But you don't sound amused. You sound angry and frustrated.

Neither. It's a misreading, by your good self.

don't worry, when I'm angry, you'll know about it

 

[the sceptic]

Not doping. You.

the clinic is about doping. you come to the clinic for entertainment.

seems fairly straightforward to me Martin.

 

[martinvickers]

In which case why do you need to post to bring them out?

If the clinic amuses you so much surely you can sit back and be content with being amused?

Why?

Because you want me to? Sorry, not overly bothered what you want, Hitchy.

 

[The Hitch]

don't worry, when I'm angry, you'll know about it

Is that a threat?

 

[martinvickers]

If You think the clinic is about doping, you're more of a fool than I thought.

But I'm not surprised it seems straightforward to you - to a hammer, every problem looks like a nail...

 

[thehog]

Neither. It's a misreading, by your good self.

don't worry, when I'm angry, you'll know about it

I look forward to it!

 

[The Hitch]

Because you want me to? Sorry, not overly bothered what you want, Hitchy.

Don't worry there's nothing you have that I want.

So away from this strange digression, and back to the point I asked. If you feel yourself above the clinic why post? because it amuses you you say. Well if it amuses you why post?
Or are you saying it only amuses you if you post?

In which case, thats sort of trolling isn't it. Posting purely to get amused by the clinic. No?

 

[martinvickers]

Is that a threat?

Why, do you want it to be? How very peculiar. You'd almost think you're trying to bait a poster into a fight? Why do you want that?

Very peculiar indeed.

It's fairly obviously simply a statement of fact, Hitchy. But still, keep trying...

 

[martinvickers]

I look forward to it!

Now you know we're good Hog

 

[thehog]

Is that a threat?

Nah it's not. Martin and I are good. It's just a little mental prodding. Please don't see it as anything else.

Trying to bait me into a ban like septic, by any chance? Tut tut.

You're trying very very hard to build a house out of straw here, Hitch. It's admirable, really. It's that kind of thing that amuses me, actually.
