No. Just my standard response to your posts. Other alternatives are 'what the 'ck are you on about?' and 'for god's sake, please make some sense'.

Your responses are pretty standard, I'll agree with you there ! Once the red mist has cleared the fallout may become apparent. Oh and by the way the almighty won't help you ^_^
 
Have you read Godwin's Law? I suggest you do as I've never heard it being invoked by mention of the House Committee for Un-American Activities before - and for a very obvious reason.

Of course I've read it - what would be the point of linking you to a page that I had never read? The point I was making was that your attempt to draw parallels with the McCarthy witch-hunts implies that you have already lost the argument...

Wonderful. You first claim to have read it and then demonstrate you haven't read it. Where does McCarthyism feature in Godwin's Law?
 
jesus - you are hard work. It doesn't. That's why I used the word 'parallel'. Am I allowed to say FFS on this forum...??

Except you didn't use the word "parallel". I did. You simply responded to a post suggesting parallels between HUAC and USADA's approach with

Righto. Has anyone invoked Godwin's Law yet..??

which as we now agree does not apply to HUAC (or USADA).

It wouldn't be nearly as hard work if you weren't trying to wriggle out of what you actually said.

I know but I'm a slow learner?
 
I need to tell some of you guys that this thread actually becomes more entertaining when you 'ignore' the apologists, barrack-room lawyers, trolls and muppets. I've always been rather anti ignore list but it's actually quite cathartic. :thumbsup:

Can we make it to 100?

LA announces he will come out of retirement to ride the 2013 TdF with the aim of winning to prove the trolls wrong? And wins it CLEAN as he always did.

:smile: I've toyed with the idea, but haven't done it.

A few people have posted that they're ignoring me (a wise move), but I've yet to hit the button. In fact I'm not sure how to do it.

But... (and this is as close to a point as I get) is there not some Low-Cal insipidness to an online forum without the bits you dislike?

I watch large people buying Diet Coke and wonder whether they wouldn't be happier to have the full smack, but slightly less of it.

I like my forums full-sugar. Even if that sugar has a little jalapeno and maybe some sole-of-shoe unpleasantness in it. This is not a directed barb, just an indication of my distaste for some of the views I read. But I'd rather read them than not.

For the same reason, I occasionally buy and enjoy the Daily Telegraph and sit in a comfortable chair getting angry with the editorial.

Most people I know read only that part of the press which aligns with their political outlook. To me, that's the press version of 'ignore'.

I tried that, but it just left an empty thread :sad:
