Posting only to announce that I have posted pointlessly? There's no point.
The Cycling News forum is looking to add some volunteer moderators with Red Rick's recent retirement. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

dimspace said:Does there have to be a point?
taiwan said:What point are you trying to make?
dimspace said:thats there doesnt always have to be a point, there is a point to being pointless sometimes, its easier that way.
auscyclefan94 said:Your post is only telling someone elses post that their post is pointless which really is a pointless post in itself!

Thoughtforfood said:Okay, lets break this down:
1. I didn't tell anyone else's "post" anything. I wrote a comment to someone who posts here, but I did not address a "post." I addressed a person.
2. My post had a point, and that point was that progressor rarely if ever posts anything of substance in regards to cycling.
3. I used the word "useless" not "pointless." Go to Websters to discern the difference.
4. Therefore you fail on three counts, which means ironically, that you have no point because your basis is erroneous. Dang.
taiwan said:You have four good points, but really, arguing endlessly about the value of peoples posts is useless.

A girl who is in front of us and hung over and is as rough as arses, has just just confessed to her mates, "I ****ing stink"
I'm guessing by the look of her she doesn't follow me on Twitter

dimspace said:ok.. why are you quoting my tweets, and actually, lets keep what conversations i have with freinds on twitter off this forum, i aint lance or brad or someone, stop it now please.
Martin318is said:um Sorry Dim but what makes you so special that your Tweets (I vomited in my mouth a little writing that word) can't be posted on forums? Because you aren't a famous althete?
You are putting the comments out there on the worldwide domain and has been demonstrated here, they are then fodder for complete disection (and in most cases misinterpretation to support some crackpot theory).
dimspace said:Because i think, we can all be quoted on what we say here, on this forum, but what we say outside of here, be it on twitter, personal facebooks or in the pub with freinds, should be kept completely seperate. If i have something i wish to say I will say it here, I dont particularly appreciate my twitter comments being brough onto this forum, especially when its a non relevant comment to a freind. What next, my facebook gets copied and pasted. No, i think we all deserve some sort of respect. THats annoyed me. Kinda goes against the whole point of the thread really doesnt it.
Whatever.. ive made my twitter private. **** it..
Ive given up caring. Im done with this place.
Martin318is said:RR - I am not saying its cool to attack Dim about what he has put in public elsewhere.
What I am saying is: What does it say about us as humans on an internet forum if we are happy to absolutely shred the public persona of someone like a professional cyclist when at the same time we think we shouldn't do the same to anyone else who is NOT famous?
I mean I have no idea about the elf photo you speak of but does anyone fail to recall the Armstrong Halloween photo?
Saying someone wants that type of publicity because they want to be famous is a crock. Anyone that posts to public social networking sites is by definition wanting to communicate with as many people as possible. They have to take the good with the bad.
