Being right doesn't ALWAYS mean having a contrary opinion to the general consensus. Unless being contrary is more important to one's ego than being right.

Just answering the question. Didn't know I had to get your approval first, thought this was a public forum

Nah, you don't need my approval. I was just wondering if you did any actual thought on your own, or if you just adopted the group-think of your pet clique.

Good one. There are no facts involved in an opinion. I thought I could bait you into a trap...but I was screwed in your one post reply.

FWIW, earth dweller (or Edie to fellow cliquettes) is one of the more independent thinkers IMHO. In fact, she would probably be offended that she would be even considered to be in a clique of pets. She will definitely be offended that I am speaking a little on her behalf, but then again, I am a bit offensive to her anyway.

And if you're just bitter about not being in our gang...you are very welcome to join in the drivel at the FID thread. You would fit in by having an IQ with three numbers in it, a dedicated commitment (oxymoron?) to your forum surfing hobby. We also have a resident professor of astronomy/cosmology (TDL) who is a photograhy hobbyist together with a couple of other photography buffs. The thread is also proud to boast five attractive (inc. one very attractive ) female forum personalities who frequent regularly.

And also FWIW...and getting back to the OP's question...I don't think Floyd is a hot studdie.

so you decided by my short answer that I followed group think... well I decided by your short posts that you get your jollies by flaiming and baiting, I guess it makes you feel superior.

oh and by the way, I decided by myself that Landis is a cheater... it's called reading and thinking, you should try it sometimes.

Did you call Edie a "Ho"?

Now that's going to alienate people.

Do you masturbate while you post or just after?

Oh, you read and thought. Hmmmm. Did you read, like, evidence, or did you just read what tickled your peachfish in doping forums? Oh, wait....you got your facts from news articles, right? Oh I see. How objective of you. Very illuminating.

Finally, someone has been able to swim through the morass of doping to finally figure out what's going on. Thank the gods for earth_dweller. Really. Honestly. She really has a head for the facts. Really.

Yeah. How do we know Landis doped and is lying about it? It's not like he has been convicted. It's also not like there was an 80+ page PDF released that describes the reasoning behind a conviction. It is also not like there was full coverage of his arbitration hearing with the USADA. It is not like everything that occurred in the hearing was mulled over by countless people on countless websites who were interested in the outcome. It is also not like newspapers, which had websites, wrote daily summaries of the hearing.

There is just not enough information available to form a reasonable conclusion. We have to assume Landis is clean.

Letting your emotions effect your argument a little there Alienator? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Landis' guilt as a doper been proven? It is not an opinion, gleaned from others' opinions, but established at the conclusion of a proper hearing. Since he was proven to be a cheat, and he still denies it, that also makes him a liar. Unless you are of the opinion that a person's guilt can never be attributed while they still plead their innocence? We should let just about everyone out of jail if that were the accepted credo.

Edie (earth_dweller) only said Floyd was a cheat and a liar. I think your statement "swimming through the morass of doping to finally figure out what's going on" doesn't apply to Edie's statement of a proven official judgment.
