Other forum follies

Using the search function I found a post by someone who said something along the line of "we should not be naive and we should assume that Disco was doing the same thing the other teams were." The admin then posted that he had PMed the poster the site was not for neutral discussion; it was a Disco fan site.

Thepaceline is quite uninteresting. I don't know if I can continue to monitor it.

So you go in there as the Superfan of Disco... and start a thread called "Other Forum Follies" and you say.. "Get a load of this guys" and you drop a Bro Deal quote in there from Cyclingforums and make fun of it and watch them all pile on. Just use rediculous logic like No Positives here. Spoof 'em.

Actually I see where you are coming from... its a waste of time if you can't get into an argument.

Seven Tour wins and six positives, that's what up.

No one has tested positive more times and still won. Landis is trying, but it's not going to break his way. I can just feel it. Besides, he can't do it seven times like me.

I see Mo already had that idea. Mo... didn't you forget the positive on the corticosteroid? That makes seven I think.

Welcome back Mo! Too bad we don't have No to have the full party. The last best thread in this regard was this one: http://www.cyclingforums.com/t423021.html

That might be funny.

I found an old thread there where they called cyclingforums a "cesspool" of Disco haters.

Yeah... where is this "Cesspool" place in reality. Is it a bar somewhere? Sounds like a lot of fun goes on there.

Don't they know that this is one of the more respectable cesspools?

There was something about the moderator being one of the worst of them.

[Frigo's Luggage]

Yeah. But we need more of those fools over here to have somebody to argue with.

[Powerful Pete]

Be patient. They always reappear around Tour de France time. After all, that is the only race in the professional racing calendar, isn't it?

The comments that follow the article are more interesting than the article itself.

Edited to add: Oops! The second link does discuss that!
