Dumbass -

If you monitored this group regularly, you'd notice the same thing,
over and over and over, about the same person, over and over and over
and over.

It's boring, especially the sanctimoniousness of it. After all,
cycling, like any other spectator sport, is entertainment.


thanks,

Yes, it was he. Outing me as clergy was a betrayal of trust, not a threat.
I've posted elsewhere in rbr on what the clergy label does.

But it seems that, these days, you demonstrate a fixation
with a certain RETIRED formerly-professional cyclist.
It's almost like Libby obsessing over Wilson - you obsess
over his blonde(s) too.

I'm not entirely sure what the idiom is for "people from
Provence" but I'm fairly sure that "provencials" isn't it.
Anyway, it's obnoxious and you know that - you do it _because_
it's obnoxious. Other people who post links to untranslated
articles don't get the flames you do, because they don't call
themselves better than all the "provencials."

Dude,

You are in serious denial here. Give Sigmund a call.

Think of it a evangalizing the Lance tifosi. Quite a few people here have
noted the similarities between Mom, Kristin and Sheryl. Haven't thought of
them for some time until you just brought it up.

The population shift at rbr over the past seven or eight years, has
definitely moved from citizens of the world (physically and in outlook) to
predominantly US-centric people with little desire to understand the outside
world. The reason people flame my links to French, and on occasion German,
articles is because they don't like hearing about Sir Lance in any negative
way. Not to worry. The flame retardant suit is holing up quite well. ;-)

Dude,

You really need to read more. Siggy died quite a few years ago. Most of us
have moved beyond Freudian thought anyway. Ask Flom. You'd know that by
reading.

-------------------

Damn Kunich, you scare me more and more all the time, "the mote in
god's eye", you really are a fire and brimstone, southern baptist, tent
revivals and playing with snakes kinda religous freak aren't you?
Ever read Wiseblood by Flannery O'Conner? You should.

Anyway, Lafferty gives RBR a little BALANCE, one of him vs. dozens of
guys who would pay 10k to drink the sweat out of Lances chamois -
seriously,
it's like a system of checks and balances, a few posts about
Lance being on SNL and how awesome he is, and then Lafferty
throws down a long technical email that proves Lance was on dope (that
I don't bother reading - but I'm glad it's there all the same)

Damn, did K-dog really call Benjo a "dumbass", that's pretty funny,
in a underservingly disrespectful kinda way...
Mr. Benjo, I believe, has better things to do than monitor **** written
here all day, like we do.

By all means why don't you tell us about the serious problem of drugs in
high schools all over this country? Do you suppose that somehow the small
percentage of positives in cycling somehow demonstrates a problem worse than
pot in high schools all over this country which is now so widespread that
half of all high school kids have tried or are using marijiana?

I suggest you get your head out of your ass and accept the fact that liberal
political ideals from the 60's did this to the world. Now you can just try
to put the genie back in the bottle and pretend that it's someone else's
fault.

I don't kill file him because I want to see who started a string. I don't
want to even post to a thread that he started. Unfortunately it happens
sometime when his name spools off the top.

As for your vocation - what has it to do with your avocation? I suppose it
would lead me not to flip you off too blatantly.....
 
Hey Benjo - I would be very careful around this mike guy. I think that he
wants to kiss you somewhere.

Indifference. Why should cycling fans be any different from
US football, tennis, soccer, baseball, track & field, nordic
skiing, wrestling, basketball, swimming, equestrian (gotta
watch those horses), triathlon, weight lifting, bowling, or
synchronized swimming fans?

That's why I said 'sport' rather than 'cycling'. Some guy
that takes a pill to get a boner and can't get his heart
going in the morning without a jolt of coffee is not going to
care what the star of his favorite team has to take to do
great deeds.

People already know about this stuff.

And people hate Lafferty because he's an asswipe, not because
they don't believe the message.

Dumbass,

Now *there's* your gold standard for critical thinking on rbr.

Dumbass -

It's just a salutation, no different than a sig line.



> Heal thyself.


Errrr . . . look at the context of the above post. I don't post about
the same thing all the time like Laff@me.

You, like some other thin-skinned dumbasses, are taking the salutation
a bit too seriously. Your reactions are kinda funny, which, I suppose,
is why I do it.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

Dumbass -

I've seen some posts of yours, about Benjo, where you've emerged w/ the
brown tongue.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

Laughing Boy cannot see that many people agree with him.
He only sees disagreement. Someone may see that doping is
endemic, yet if he does not demand draconian measures he
is an apologist, a co-conspirator or an Armstrong
sycophant. And woe unto any who speaks up for due process!
So, with our schoolyard ways, we twit Laughing Boy; easy
pickings, but we are easily amused.

Call it what you want but a pig is a pig no matter who's mud it lays in. And
your boring intro is the same old thing over and over and over. It's hilarious
that you're so ignorant as to not know the difference between a salutation and a
sig line.

>>Heal thyself.

Over and over and over. You can say what you want in a failed attempt to
justify your addiction, but each time you lead off with dumbass, it's the same
old thing.

Calling me thin-skinned just shows how out to lunch you are. And don't go
blaming your name-calling on me. You own it, not me.
