Who is the most passionate Lance fan?

[quarterpounder]

I think it's about time we crown and honor the biggest and most passionate Lance fan. So cast your vote!

 

[Eva Maria]

It has to be House. But the most unstable, Swiftsolo. Does she post here?


BTW, Greatest poll ever!

 

[quarterpounder]

I havn't seen Swiftsolo here, but could be posting under another name of course.

 

[richwagmn]

Mama Armstrong.

Difficult to say. But it is good to see all of his passionate detractors lining up in this thread!

 

[Eva Maria]

I doubt you will see Swiftsolo here as he does not have his boyfriend Coolhand to protect him.

I write in 'TotallyLance'

Noticed you only post in Lance threads. Would it be OK to write you in?

Jackhammer was a classic, but was actually a bit of fun if you didn't resort to personal bantering. TFF just wore him down until he broke in spectacular fashion. But then TFF enjoys doing this to many other posters!

I am going to give Robert Merivel his dues - once he gets over his ultra-defensive attitude to the rabid anti-Lance fans, he is actually discusses all things Lance rationally and intelligently.

There are some on the Clinical forum at the moment that should get honourable mentions, such as Gree. But he seems to have disappeared.

 

[mr.biggles]

Am I allowed to write in "Versus"?

 

[badboyberty]

Thought for Food? Doesn't he just post anit-Lance sentiments to give Lance-o-philes a chance to post about all the great things his Lanceness has done...

Gonna change my name to "Chinese Water Torture" I have to say, I look at the jackhammer111 trophy every day with pride.

bambi just switched sides over at DP. Eliza B posted the Contador interview, and she posted that she was remorseful for having defended LA. I have corresponded with her by PM there, and she is a really nice person.

The person you missed was ChrisH from DP. Not only is he a tool, but the guy would literally drink Lance's ball sweat through a straw if he got the chance.

Well yea, and the problem there is....

Since when do intelligence and rationality have anything to do with passion?

 

[Dr. Maserati]

Surely it has to be Matthew......

 

[krebs303]

BYU123 came strong but faded fast. Probably important FBI stuff.

Is this really Hugh?
Hugh Jass?

If so, prove it!

if not, lets move on.


As far as passionate Lance fans, I think a lot of the most vitriolic venom against him comes from a closeted inner Lance fanboy screaming to come out...just a thought.

Awww, Coolhand. What a doucheapotamus. He banned me from RBR when I complained about him banning Realgains.

I would vote for someone like Gree, but it seems that he is actually an employee of Public Strategies so he does not count.

It has to be bobke/Hombre, the chiropractor who online masquerades as a surgeon.

I would have thought 95rpm deserved a spot on the starting lineup. What about CarbonCrank??

It seems Bobby Drivel and BYU have literally disappeared off the face of the earth.

Dennis Norward?? Only seen him on BikeRadar???

 

[CentralCaliBike]

Political Viewpoints

I wonder if there is a correlation between a conservative political viewpoint and a positive view of LA?

If the above is true, are LA haters are generally left of center on the political spectrum?

65rpm and Craboncrank should have got a start, but they don't have the "step on my Lance and I'll cut your head-off" attitude of some of the Lance-for-Pres crowd, and therefore will never podium on the "most passionate" competition.

They're both mature enough that even mangling their log-on names will probably only get me a polite reprimand rather than an invite to go toe-to-toe behind the bikeshed...

what about Bagster? Some pretty rabid posts from him on the subject of His Lanceness. On other subjects he appears to be a bit reasonable.

No, I think it comes more from being a true bike racing fan who is initially very impressed by the accomplishments, but at the same time is capable of individual thought. At some point, if you don't have your head too far up your own jass, you start to see through some of the show. It doesn't really matter if you think he doped or not( the "proof" that he did also indicts every other top cyclist of the past 10 years, so do you only hate the one who cheated the best?). It has more to do with realising that the great humanitarian is really a mean spirted manipulative SOB. But your own view of him may differ. Who am I to argue with that?
