    I don't really agree with DDD being banned, but this is boll0cks.

    Is that the measure by which someone should be banned, then? It would be a quiet forum if that's the case.

    Yesterday it was libel, today its narcissistic content-lite rhetoric.
    Hello, F A
    I don't think he should be banned because I find him annoying.
    But, I find him annoying and disinterestiing, so I'm more than happy if he is banned. The longer the better - as far as I am concerned.

    I still owe you a sensible answer on the rim cleaning thread.
    There is an ex pro tour mechanic who posts articles on velonews. He suggested sanding brake pads in an article recently. I knew I was right. That means I'm right about everything, doesn't it.

    I do think Rick's megalomania is getting a little out of hand (the post from First Aspect on page 2 was spot on), but this:

    does seem to be where DDD was heading.

    The ban will only give him something else to bleat about when he's back.

    I did not mind him! I just took some of his comments with a pinch of salt. He just has a very strong personality with what seems some keyboard warrior chucked in.

    he's a lot quieter in the flesh though i've not seen him for a number of years, so a healthy lump of keyboard warrior.

    I'm getting confused.

    Is everyone telling everyone else that their posts suck?

    Missed all this but having done a bit of back reading:
    a) DDD didn't half spout some nonsence about LA etc. but the only thing that seemed to really step across the line was the stuff about Coe which seemed pretty libelous to me.
    b) None of it justified being suspended - ridiculous moderation. Really.
    c) DDD can write some silly stuff and be a bit sanctimonius but we (I mean me) can all be guilty of that and he's not remotely malicious

    I reckon Rick owes him an apology. Mind he owes Seb Coe one too!

    I can't help noticing that Seb Coe hasn't posted here a single time since DDD insinuated that he conspired against Linford. I can't believe DDD drove him away.

    If I say something libelous about Rick, do you think he will suspend me too?
