Fucking fuck shit motherfucking queer assed peddling cocksucking piss eaters! They can all go and blow pigs and drink the semen of goats, all those cycling beastophiles. In fact, fuck everybody! Fuck the CIA, fuck NAFTA, fuck the fucking Beatles, fuck the fuckers who fucked up the fucking Golden Globe awards, FUCK IT ALL!!!

You should go over there and start a thread entitled, "You all morons."

If you do, let us know so we can pile on.

Actually, we need someone who knows the forum well enough to give us the dirt on a few key players.

I stated my case, though I did use collective terms. Hope nobody minds, but if you do, I apologize. I kept a copy just in case they delete it. I will post here if that happens. Actually, what the hell, here it is:

I post over at CF, and while it is tempting to treat you with contempt, I will refrain.

What you don't see is that we are passionate about the sport. Most of us are long time fans who remember following most races in cycling magazines 2 months after they occurred, or the Tour top 5 in the back of the paper. You think what you will, but we are as passionate about the sport as anyone you will find.

What we detest it the atmosphere that has been created by the people you appear to worship. Many of us cheered on your heroes right up to the point where we realized that they were liars, that the physical reality is that a non-doped cyclist is incapable of winning consistently against one who dopes.(specifically blood doping) We find it incomprehensible that now, in an era where the reality that everyone from Sly to Clemens' wife are using HGH and other "enhancers, you could look at the feats of cyclists in the past 10-15 years and seriously believe that most were clean. We want our sport back! Think what you will, but we aren't willing to put those we once yelled for in a special category. We are not hero worshipers. We are realists who know enormous amounts about cycling, physiology, and the human capacity to seek the path of least resistance in pursuit of achievement. We read your books, we watched your races, and we denied the reality ourselves. Then one day we just couldn't take any more lies. Lies piled on lies about twins and the evil French and their corrupt labs and who was the most tested athlete in history.

You can cast us as misfits with hateful families and sad lives if you wish. We just want our sport back, and attitudes and denial such as yours will only prolong that day. It really is as bad as you imagine in your worst fears. That isn't coffee you smell, it is honesty and truth.

Here, I won’t make fun of you, but come to CF and you will find that your postings will be dissected and ridiculed. Hey, it is our place, and this is yours. I imagine one difference is that there, your posts will stand regardless of content. My experience with places like this, DP, and Trust but Verify is that posts such as mine are deleted. I hope your mods are brave enough to let it stand.

I'd think twice about stirring up trouble over there because they actually have moderators that moderate.

News from the dumbest cycling forum : paceline forum:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:

You realise everyone, we are being lengthily quoted on cyclingforums.com, and of course, denigrated accordingly. Even Daily Peloton joined in the act, linking pages of what we have said here concerning Astana. Don't worry though, nothing too harmful was said. We are hooligans, stupid, unreal and funny haha. It's good to be famous across the ether. We've earned it!

Strangely, they haven't been able to convince me to support any of their teams. But that is because they don't seem to support any.
---
PUG

Oh No ... I'm soooo upset NOT!

I've noticed "they" don't seem to support any team ... I even sometimes question if "they" even like cycling

To tear others down, sometimes is the only way "they" can make themselves feel good about themselves and important ... degrade away

GOOOOOOOO ASTANA!!!!!
--
We are the Paceline fans. So we do speak of our favorite team and also extend to other cyclists we like and admire. What do they expect? berate everyone like they do? The last I know of our fundamental right to say what we want to still exists. Evesdroppers will never hear anything good about themselves.
--
The moderator closed the thread.

We would do well not to follow in thier footsteps and end it here.

Never will it closed here!

Some reactions after a CF poster...

We don't delete posts over here. People can speak their minds. We disagree all the time and at times have gotten very heated with each other but in the end we come back together because we love the sport as well and we respect each others opinions whether they are the same as ours or not. We don't have to be "long time fans" to be true fans. We want a clean sport, we just want it done fairly and justly. Why is it now you find the need to sign up for a forum that you can't stand that has members you can't stand? You say you don't want to treat us with contempt but that's exactly what you've done. To assume we are not passionate about the sport because of the riders and the teams we choose to follow is an insult. Feel free to come back and speak your mind but know that we'll speak ours as well.

Juls and Bambi,

His handle on that other Forum is thoughforfood. His avatar has a Nazi swastika
on it so that sorta should give you a clue as to the class of posters over there. That and his childish attempt to stir up trouble here. (The mods here don't tolerate trolls..... contrary to other forum that makes such behavior their trademark bread and butter. And the moderator over there is one on the worst trolls on that forum.)

Re: Other forum follies

And some very good boys on Paceline forum able to see the light :

Quote:

Before everyone beats up Picklestastegood too badly, please note that lurking works both ways. some folks on this forum have been lurking on CyclingForums for some time now and bashing those who participate there. I can recall posting in defense of CyclingForums several times because of the wealth of knowledge that exists on the Power Training forum as well as the Cycling Training Forum. You won't find too many Disco/Astana/LA supporters there. But that doesn't make it a bad place.

I feel the same way about Paceline, and fully realize that many who post here SOLELY view the world through Disco/Astana glasses. after all, this is a Disco/Astana supporters site. But just like CyclingForums, I can wade through all posts looking for wisdom, too.

There are only so many cycling related websites around so all of them have value to me.

Evidently that was a vicious, personal attack.

I'm telling you, you violated the anti-bro rule. Congrats.

You just answered your own question. Everyone deals with boredom differently.

That's basically it. Well, that and a bunch of us are tribalistic assholes.

There's was a study I think that proved a high correlation between people who frequent forums to find out what lots of people think and to laugh and learn at others' posts and people who look at other forums to see what people think and to laugh and learn at others' posts...

Landis lovers are worse then Armstrong lovers.

jr @ TBV

If LeMond really feels that what Geoghegan did to him is meaner and crueler than what his uncle is alleged to have done, he is even more screwed up than I thought. Of course, based on the quality of reporting in the piece, he might not have said that.

As an aside (and forgive me if this has been discussed previously), what if any are the implications of the alleged abuser being so easily identifiable? I certainly assume he's the same uncle who shot Greg (by mistake, while hunting). It seems pretty unusual to have two uncles with the same first name (either that or Geoghegan only knew the name of the uncle who shot Greg and he made that leap himself). I guess if the uncle has passed away it doesn't make any difference, but I don't recall reading anything about that. Look, dancing monkeys!

How much do I wish LeMond would just shut up so this kind of crap wouldn't float around my brain anymore?
