The problem with that forum is that there is too much activity. A half hour after you post the thread is burried on page 3 because of all the threads discussing whether the dimpled 909s will make them faster than their current non-dimpled 909s.TheDarkLord said:He probably hasn't met Jeff Vader here or in the Cult. He is easy fodder for Vader anyway.But now we know where is he is spending his time.
Prediction - new rule coming at DPF to complement the "no doping discussion unless you're in the doping section" rule; soon there will be the "can't possibly mention any race results except in the specific race thread rule" so that those who haven't seen the race yet won't see the results before they watch it. Of course, you could just avoid the internet (particularly cycling forums) until you watch the race .

I've been banned there for some time. If you can search my posts there, then you'll see that I was highly disruptive and generally unruly. It's truly a bastion of rational, mature debate since my exile.Bro Deal said:
I don't put any concerted effort into arguing about professional cycling any more, because there are more Vaughn- and Steve in ATL-types in cycling than sane folks. Remember, DPF is the place that tolerates (and protects the identity of) posters like Ali (although, to someone's credit, I think Chris H was asked to take a vacation; incidentally, this is around the same time that the Ali sockpuppet began a prolific posting binge).
Also, Scientology. 'nuff said.
EDIT: It seems I'm not banned, but I can't reply to threads, or access the PM functions of the board.
you know I'm always amazed to see that DPF is still alive and that folks are still posting there. youd think that the number of people of the ChrisH and SAL types would diminishing but...jimmypop said:
I bring you the versus forum for your enjoyment:
Now that Astana and last year's #1 and #3 were excluded, and since ASO managed to get rid of the Italians that climb well, with some phantom test that no one in the scientific community knows exists, let alone not having validated it. Congrats, you Frogs!
Johan Bruyneel is absolutely awesome on the panel! His invaluable insights and professionalism actually seem to temporarily cancel-out Mr. Hummer's glaring inadequacies as an anchor. Bravo!

For those of you who are fond of ChrisH over at DPF (I know TFF is a big fan), you might be interested to know of a thread over there. It began as something about swimming, but evolved quickly into a 'which Olympic sports should be cut?' thread.
ChrisH began harmlessly enough, simply suggesting that those who thought beach volleyball should be cut needed a lobotomy. Interested others should read the thread; it is a fascinating insight into this fellow.
What prompts me to write this is that 'option' at DPF, a member here also, called him out personally for being gratuitously offensive throughout the thread (in addition to his chauvinism and triumphalism) and giving him some advice that it wasn't a good idea, particularly from a moderator.
That post has, without warning, explanation or evidence of its earlier existence, 'disappeared', or to use ChrisH language, is no longer visible to forum members.
I'm saying this here because God knows what would happen if I said it over there. It staggers me that he holds the position he does.
edit: couldn't quite help myself.

Actually, I can tell you what happens.
I wrote a post that said words to the the following effect:
'I could have sworn that option wrote another post in this thread. Now, like a picture of Trotsky, it's as if it had never existed. Maybe I was imagining things. Maybe ChrisH deleted/made it invisible to forum members. Maybe... Nah, I must have been imagining things.'
ChrisH just deleted my post too. I know he did, because he was tagged as reading the thread and then flash!-like Keyser Soze, it was gone.
He's like a toddler stamping on ants.

This means the guy is in his 30's. I always pictured him as some 60 year old man who had cancer, like Vaughn, hence his blind devotion to all things Lance.

I am surprised he has not been committed. Just the few PMs that TFF posted show he is a moron and almost irrational. I wonder if he ever considered a career in the Bush administration; he could be the Republican Lanny Davis.Ava Marie said:
What's with his return? Did he get kicked off of another cycling board for idiocy or did Vaughn tell it would be okey if he began moderating again?
What bugs me about ChrisH's behaviour on that thread is that he thinks that being a moderator entitles him to a free pass to insult others without consequence, and then censor and delete any criticism of him doing so. The moderation isn't for any rational reason other than to minimise his personal embarrassment. It's clearly an abuse of the role he's somehow obtained.
That he could be so self-delusional while censoring TFF's posts (that even Vaughan had allowed to pass through) is telling.
The situation was made more stark because he clearly didn't understand what my posts, and more particularly Drongo's, were actually saying. I might understand it if he couldn't fathom what I was saying, but Drongo is one of the betters writers I have read, so the deficiency clearly belongs in one place.
His insistent refusal to apply any form of self-reflection speaks of a reflexive refusal to consider criticism of himself - his first reaction is to stamp on criticism, rather than consider it and then react according to its merits. That speaks of a more pathological character flaw, for which I pity him. His journey in life will be unhappy, I warrant, because such a personality always needs an opponent against whom to react.

Here's a good one Drongo -
Once he realised that you had mentioned that he deletes posts on the sly - without even naming him - he was so embarrassed that he put in a response and then closed the thread!
I guess it's the only way that he can ensure he gets the last word.
