    I think the clinic see us as a soft touch - too bad for them

    If it is white boy trash you are referring to, I imagine he has manifested himself as The Truth or someone like that.

    Simply changed profile, like Dr Who. :D

    Any poster with multiple posts, grouped one after the other. :roll:

    Nah, the truth hasn't said "thoughts?" or "yes?" once!

    Don't know where he's gone but his legacy seems to have been to convince a poster with similar views that if you say the same thing over and over again, no matter how many people eloquently point out your talking nonsense, it will become accepted fact.

    "The truth" has also gone (I mean profile disappeared, not just stopped posting).

    Both their profiles still exist. They may be temporarily suspended or just lurking.

    Either way, a thread calling them out by name probably isn't all that helpful... :?

    Yes it reminds me of a scary film I saw last night called "30 days of night"

    I know, but I don't know how much longer I can wait for those affidavits!

    Little did we know when WBT said "I'm on foot" before Xmas, what he actually meant was an Oatesean "I'm just going outside. I may be some time...."

    When I say the profiles have gone, I mean that if you click their name to pm, or see when they last posted, no info comes up.

    Well for obvious reasons I haven't tried to PM either of them, but I can see their profiles and they were here on Friday and Wednesday respectively.

    Maybe you've just been blocked?

    and the same reply's trying to convince him that their opinion is better.

    Suggest that the majority of the peloton are clean and praise Sky's anti-doping efforts I should think.

    Perma bans are nigh impossible for the sceptics and nigh impossible to avoid for non-sceptics
    daft enough to engage in a battle of logic with the inmates.

    Suggest that it's impossible to win the Tour without doping - and therefore Lemond must have doped.

    No his opinion was not an issue. It was the incorrect facts he spouted and chose to ignore when he was pulled up on them that was the issue. Hopefully he is happy posting elsewhere, I wish him well for the future at wherever that elsewhere may be.

    This is just yet another thread fuelling things up..

    No, what you don't like is my opinion. Nearly every time you respond to one of my posts you make a childish remark.
    Show me where I have not been factual? I just state my view, my opinion just like you do. if you can't respond like a civilised person then jog on.

    But he should not be getting Sh%%. Disagree, state your opinion. But some of the comments that were aimed his way went to far IMO. IMO there are a group of posters who have a set mind about most issues. There is never any give or hardly any acknowledgment on any on else's view. I have apologised a few times on this sight and if I am wrong I am happy to admit it. You may well get fed up with the same opinion or the same doping issues that come up and all of us are guilty of repeating ourselves. I can see how WBT would annoy some just like my views do as well.. But if he does not have a link or proof to something he has stated then just move on, take the victory , we can all see it.
    It's no good posting post after post asking for the same proof if he has not got it.
    Blazing posted that I said Armstrong never doped and I only admitted he doped when he got caught :lol: , which is something I have never said , most know my views about doping. I have asked Blazing for an apology for making false accusations and also the insulting nature of the post. He will not apologise even though he was totally wrong. This is the sort of blind ignorance and immature behaviour that we could well do without. I will defend myself against insults and some time insults will fly back . We all do it. But IMO it got a bit out of hand with WBT.

    But he's not just some bloke who has differing opinions. He's someone, who for the last ten years, has jumped around most of the cycling forums winding people up and trying to wreck those forums. He's banned from most of them. He's not an unknown name.

    Rich if he his that and he does not believe in what he his saying then he obviously is lacking some grey matter.

    I only know of him from this sight.

    If he his some sort of terror poster then I apologise for defending him if he has been out of line on other sights that you know of. I can only judge from what I have seen on this sight.
