Re: Other forum follies
Whoever guessed the Scientology connection over at DPF was spot on. Check out Vaun's Tom Cruise reaction to Ritalin

Love Surftel's wit in those posts. That's sure to garner a time out. If you're reading this Surf, I owe you a beer. |

This group may have been responsible for hacking into DPF.

Vaun: "I'm not being glib. I had a nephew on who was on Ritalin for several years. When I had him in my care I stopped it 20 years before any of this later info on ritalin came out. Don't confuse a zombiesque numbness with being calm. It didn't solve a thing for my 7 year old nephew. Been there done that. I will note that I've never accepted the idea that we have to resort to chemicals to make our lives bearable. Though this seems to be what is accepted by many today. Look at the dollars in play by drug companies today in profits and media advertising. This might explain the drubbing of anyone that differs in the opinions that the drug cartels sell. After all they are like most drug dealers looking for just a few more lifetime consumers." Cruise: "Matt, Matt, you don't even -- you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK? That's what I've done." "These drugs are dangerous. I have actually helped people come off. When you talk about postpartum, you can take people today, women, and what you do is you use vitamins. There is a hormonal thing that is going on, scientifically, you can prove that. But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that. You can use vitamins to help a woman through those things." I wonder when Vaun will start ranting about vitamins and jumping on couches.

Sure...but the last thing they want one of their converts to do is seek psychological or psychiatric counseling...

Scientology's tiff with psychology/psychiatry goes back to the fifties. Dianetics was a popular pop psychology book at the time. Like all fads it wore thin after a while and Hubbard tried to refresh it. It was heavily critized as bunk by the psychology establishment and the feud began. Hubbard never forgave them. This break from psychology and psychiatry is what started Scientology movement from crackpot explanation of the mind to crackpot religion.

Re: Other forum follies
Since both of these troopers are also CF members under different handles, without further comment I'll link to a DPF debate:

You don't hire a bodyguard to protect yourself against assasination or a terrorist attack... you hire one as an insurance policy and to help take away one unknown factor as you focus on the race. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the teams/leading riders have team bodyguards... if not personal ones. Who's "option"? Unless he/she wishes to remain anonymous which is fine (as long as you don't start speaking Italian...  )

Mate, no need for my dpf handle to be anonymous - the signoff sig is the same anyway, which is a bit of a giveaway. I do find Hombre quite funny, but sometimes I get the feeling that he's not trolling, and is actually sincere. Naaah....

Can you give us the meaning/thinking behind your choice of "Runitout"?

I'm a rock climber as well as a cyclist - "running it out" is when a climber spaces out his protection. When you're facing a difficult section, you sometimes have to choose between placing protection (and getting more tired, and possibly falling) or running it out to the next rest without placing pro. The risk is, if you fall without having placed much pro, it could get quite nasty. The expression is, "when in doubt, run it out - when in fear, place more gear." Run it out is more an exhortation to myself - I usually stitch up a climb like it's the Bayeux Tapestry.
