Many people post while on company time.
They are being paid as the post.

Might not be job related - that would wasting valuable company time.
Shame on them. Shame shame.

Or it might be job related. Doing what you are paid to do.

Or maybe they are unemployeed whatever.

I think much of the moderators time is spent refereeing between the Pharmstrong "Talking Points" Public Strategy Crew, imaginary or otherwise, and the Crusaders for Truth "Jetfuel & Hookers" Brigade (Hi y'all).

Moderators might need to put in some OT as the Indictment/Witchhunt looms.

You know no such thing, of course. I can understand that you are reluctant to give up talking points like these but I do not believe such toxic assertions sit very well with the other good forum rules that are enforced by the moderators. It's time to give it up.

To make a forum work it needs to be fair and everybody should have to give a little. There shouldn't be exceptions for popular users.

Actually - yes, I do and I will show it on the RR forum that you mention.
I would be obliged if you could even name LeMonds company - and then link it as I will.

BTW - you never answered my question.

Are you paid in any way for your contribution?

Now is your chance to show fair handedness, Barrus. This is clearly trolling.
No - trolling would be bring in something off topic to the thread, which is why I moved our discussion off to the appropriate thread.

I asked you a direct question - as you have done of others here - so that is not trolling - indeed you are free to ask me the same question. (I have already answered it)

So - are you paid for your contribution or opinion on here or anywhere else?

In BPC's case, he is a whackjob, no payment necessary. RR tracked down another forum, non-cycling related, that he had relentlessly trolled. He found his real name too. BPC then went nuts, threatening to sue RR.

I think we should just refer to BPC by his real name so that it is easy for his friends and neighbors to find out what he does with his free time.

Really that is very interesting. To think......... someone ....one of your hero's would ridicule another person for doing the same thing????????????????????????

So RR was stalking someone on the internet?

everyone needs a hobby, and i reckon cyber-stalking is as good as any (especially for shut-ins)

LOLZ. Now Paraphernelia is PMing me to say that he is "in contact with BPC" and we should not use BPC's real name.

I think by contact he means talking to one of the many voices in his own head.

so it really was him. Wow. I thought the posts were different.

Just imagine if I or someone like Polish said they had done that to Race Radio? Dr Maserati would be outraged. We'd have a special sticky thread warning people they will be banned for life if they engaged in this behaviour.

Somehow I doubt that will be happening on this occasion.

If RR gets banned for disrupting the forum and keeps coming back twenty, forty, eighty, a hundred plus times then I won't feel too bad if someone tracks him down. People get curious about what type of mental defective engages in obsessive behavior like that. It's only natural that they investigate.

You're admitting that in addition to using the tactic of smearing people by claiming they are paid, Race Radio stalks people on the internet for their real identity?

Wow. It gets seedier and seedier.

Why did you bring me in to this? I have never requested the mods to put up any sticky.

BTW - as you only joined last month - you weren't here when BPC was here, they did a lot of trolling here - things like making stuff up and acting persecuted etc.

OK, who was it that called Paraphernalia as BPC within his first 2-3 posts? Looks like he won a cookie

Either BPC, or PMing people to relay BPC's sentiments. Obviously fully aware of the guy's status here and contacting BPC's favourites to continue a long running meme. Banned.

Don't be too disappointed if some of your celebration posts here disappear soon guys.

Aha..... so you're paid to post pics in the Babes on Bikes thread to divert all eyes away from the issue of the day - damn clever.
(Send my gratitude to your employers)

I have noticed that the haters have turned from hating Armstrong /Bruyneel/Radioshack to Dave Z./Vaughters/Garmin.
Is this a new Floyd Landis advocacy group which is here to clean up Pro Cycling by killing Pro Cycling? Any ideas about this from the moderators?

Hire some temps maybe.

I've read too many Daotec posts and my mind is starting to fall apart but otherwise yes.

Temp Mods is a good idea, with maybe 3 month contracts.
Or bring in Blackwater operatives to the clinic on a permanent basis.
