So, the tale is:

Hamilton: 3 drug posts
Ullrich: 2 drugs posts
Armstrong: 36 drug posts
Lafferty, you're right. You're totally neutral.

K. Gringioni

And from 1994-12/31/03??

Dumbass -

My point about neutrality is that recently you concentrate on Armstrong
while largely ignoring his rivals. The Google search shows your bias
quite clearly.

BTW, a search for: author: Lafferty : with all the words : Indurain,
drugs : yielded 6 results from 1981 to the present.

Your interpretation of the statistic is flawed. Frequency of posting does
not correlate to neutrality or lack of it. It may correlate to interest in
the person under discussion, but that, too says nothing as to neutrality or
bias. You would have to do an analysis of the substance of the posts.

Hope you're have a wonderful day like I am. The weather here is lovely and
my hill repeat session was super. :-)

Uhhhh.... I think your stats illustrate that Armstrong is in the center of
the current doping topic while his rivals are not. Using your logic, we
should see an equal number of posts on RBR about other races such as the
Giro and World Championships while the Tour de France is underway.
Obviously that is not the case.

As to the "dumbass" comment; name calling is a "pathos fallacy", an attempt
to obscure the fact that your argument has no basis in fact; a common tactic
among people who cannot maintain a tenable theory or argument.

Dumbass is a macro he has built into his replies and his way of saying
hello, I have a bone to pick with you. If you are in his crosshairs he will
call you something else.

So, you don't allow for current events, like all of the recent claims about
Armstrong from witnesses that may have substantial evidence? I don't see any
recent event related to any of the rivals and the suspicion of drug use. In
addition, Lance is also in many more threads than his rivals and replies are
going to run those stats up just as you found.

The Google search shows your bias

quite clearly.

Maybe he is biased, but it is not nearly as clear as you claim. If he is
biased, so what? Armstrong is the hot topic (naturally) and if he wants to
respond to the numerous love letters from homers to keep an overall balance
in this group then I say more power to him. I don't have as much time and I
am glad to see more balance than there was in the first few years of
Armstrong's Tour reign.

Are you familiar with the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes"? I think you
just filled the role of the young child and "Kurgan" is the emperor to some
of the regulars around here. Indeed, he is often naked.
