It's not just this forum that is seeing a decline in posting. I think it is a combination of boring racing, doping scandals, apathy while waiting for the next shoe to drop topped with HV's posts.

Are you implying that's not me (granted a few years ago when I thought swimming was the only way for a gammy knee to keep fit)?

So, how did you lose all your hair? Or were you just fooling us with your Dr. Evil look-alike avatar?

Frankly, I think all of us are far too witty and entertaining to be any of these people in the photos. They may look great, but....duuuuuuuuuhhhh.

I think he is in a war with the owner(s) of this forum, and/or the moderators. His cliched rant goes beyond proselytizing. It is a destructive attempt IMO to sabotage threads and CyclingForums.com.

Why can't he be banned on suspicion (its pretty obvious) that he is a previously banned member. With the caveat apology that it may be a wrongful association, the wrongfully accused member can be encouraged to rejoin under another username. That would give moderators the carte blanche to ban on circumstantial evidence. This guy would be able to come back but the first time he posts another idiosynchratic message - Kaboom, he's banned again with the same message (wrongful accusation apology) from the moderator.

Think of it this way: at least venting on this forum may keep him from opening fire at the mall or something. DIE, FOOT LOCKER!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Um. That was Dr. Evil. And my new avatar is the best likeness to myself I could find. I even had to crop it down to 80x80. I'm not too happy how it came out though. I look better in person. But who am I to judge.

Oh sure, you were lying then, but not now. Let's see the abs, swimmer boy.

Don't be so sure. Nutters like HV often have more than one outlet for the looniness. He's probably training right now with MS Flight Simulator to crash a plane into Nike headquarters.

For some reason, I just had a flashback to that old Steve Martin movie, The Jerk, where that guy with his gun was in the bushes shooting at him in the gas station, shouting "Die, random gas pumper!" Of course, it's not funny if he really does it.

HV seems more like the type to poison someone rather than crash an airplane.

That's an interesting perspective. We're like professional FBI negotiators stalling a potential threat with inane questions. I thought I could do that in the "Bloody Soap Box" but it takes a lot of attention to keep him occupied.

I feel like warning the Foot Locker guys. Especially the ones wearing Nike shoes and Livestrong bands. They're even dressed like NFL referees!!!

I'll show you my bare chest and my abs if you'll show me yours.

I feel I've played a part in turning this thread into a teenage-like flirt site. I humbly apologize Klodifan. Now back to that partial frontal under discussion.

Hey isn't it getting late over there in St. Louis?
