More lies by BPC. I have never trolled RBR.

Ignored from now, so don't bother with another post aimed at me.
Iron Man Sam said:I suppose I do understand a little bit of why you hate me. You've got this little unofficial club going on where certain people are allowed to say and do things that others are not. Then I come along and upset the consensus.
But is it right that Cycling News should be the small club of a few people that have been banned from most other cycling forums on the internet?
I'm seriously thinking of writing to cycling news proper about this. It can't be right that a gang of people have taken over their forum with the help of their less than impartial moderator friend Susan, and use this as a base to deface other forums and websites like wiki and RadioShack.
It would be different if there were clear rules stating that you cannot support certain riders or make jokes about certain things, but there are not. It claims to be an open forum for general cycling fans - not the den for half a dozen haters.
Anyway, I guess we'll meet again.

BroDeal said:The paranoia is getting worse. Now not only am I some sort of leader in a conspiracy against you, but Susan is in on it too?
BroDeal said:Example????

cyclelicious said:Why not Bro? You're given free reign here to spout yours.
Iron Man Sam said:-----Unintelligable crazy ranting-------
cyclelicious said:Why should I reiterate what you already know???? You're the one that has stated the CN forum is fertile hunting ground.
Iron Man Sam said:Who has disrupted this thread? Honestly, please answer me? Was it me or was it BroDeal and a few others? Who wanted to talk about Wiggins and who wanted to talk about me?

These self-appointed cognisanti get quite tiring after a while.
Iron Man Sam said:she bans me. Or she doesn't ban you or even warn you for doing a lot worse, like posting up a defaced wiki page on a famous rider. You guys are always in some fight with somebody but are never punished.
She's just not a very good mod. She thinks the job of the mod is to side with the people with the biggest gobs. She's hopeless. In fairness to her, she is a writer, not a mod. She just got lumbered with this.
dimspace said:Hate to say this guys, but the so called troll has just been making perfectly reasonable posts, raising points of view, and trying to discuss the OP. the ones who have disrupted the threads are the ones who are rising to the bait and doing nothing but going on about who is or isnt a troll.
The thread was going along just fine, troll and all, everyone happily discussing wiggins until the "youre a troll brigade" come along and start causing chaos
Not taking sides, and you all have your various reasons for arguing with the guy, but im just saying it as i see it. Youre as bad as each other. Like 4 year olds arguing over who gets to play with the gun.

You dont do yourself any favours, maybe he is a troll, but while he is posting reasonable posts, which although you may not agree with, are reasonable, just leave him to it. The trouble is by joining together and waging a troll war you come across as bully boy vigilantes and could appear worse than the original problem.
B.Rasmussen said:You just don't get it do you? He has been banned over 20 times now for trolling. The fact that he start out making fairly reasonable posts has no bearing on this, he will go full *** fast. He is not allowed to post here and should be called out right away so he can be removed. Just because he has chosen a new name doesn't make him less of a troll and less insane.
Winterfold said:If he has an IP mask of some kind then not rising to the bait is the only option
BroDeal said:That is is game these days. He starts out appearing reasonable, slips in a trolling line here or there, and then devolves to more and more outrageous statements until no one can stand him anymore. Best to nip it in the bud.
And you, Dim, cannot even identify one of his new personas; so you are not really up on what he does.
this_is_edie said:He's back.
Race Radio said:New IP address and the Herpes is back
BroDeal said:Seems to me that the last bans were probably regular bans. Do we even know if they have tried to ban this cockroach's IP?
Hugh Januss said:Troll Begone!
Alright let's see if that works then. (Banning seems to have no effect)
BikeCentric said:It's almost been a year now since this tool has been trolling away hasn't it? I think he'll stick around even after his Mancrush retires.

dimspace said:but dont you understand, it is impossible to ban someone, absolutely impossible, I REPEAT IMPOSSIBLE. The same tactics we use to watch belgian and italian cycling feeds can be adopted to come to this website.
His initial posts where not trolling, that is fact, some may have disagreed with them but they are not trolling.
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion
I did not see any of those. However, the immediate response of Troll and everyone getting up in arms, was almost trolling in itself. Unless you are saying that his mere presence here is inflamattory? But theres **** all you can do about it, so stop whining the lot of you, and grow up, If you dont want to see what he has to say PUT HIM ON IGNORE, and stop your whining.
YOU ARE ALL ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF FUCKING THREE YEAR OLDS!
