by schmalz

Welcome to the Tue, 04/28/2009 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?

Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

Wow

Wow, accusing someone of “thinly veiled racism” and then calling someone a “likely a DR or other latino” and talking about the lack of “mentoring” (code for no daddy). Get in the shame line.

Stuff like that has absolutely no place on this web site, you’re no better than those you’re critiquing.

And, oh, you earned it: Your an idot.

hate to bring this any more attention, but to appropriately defend KH…

15:54’s comment was ironic, and an attempt to discredit KH by association. with all due respect, 16:08 took the bait, and was mis-directed. by pointing out 15:54’s superficial meaning he actually furthered 15:54’s objective.

by praising him:

“Ken H makes a good and valid point … applaud his courage”
“Ken is a good leader and an upstanding character who does us all proud.”

and simultaneously writing things that are off-colour:

“comments suggest he is likely a DR or other latino”
“clearly has had no mentoring” (i must admit – i didn’t realize this was code)

15:54 was trying to discredit KH by allegedly supporting him. that is to say, 16:08 intended his comment to come off poorly, and by having a disreputable commenter supporting KH it would actually look bad for KH.

weird. very, very weird.

*15:54* intended his comment to come off poorly, and by having a disreputable commenter supporting KH it would actually look bad for KH.

quite surprising.

at the same time, while the comment was weird – really, truly bizarre – i have to think that in some way it was evolutionarily inevitable. since we already have a well-stocked up cast of anti-heroes at the NYVeloCity Hall of Injustice – brother historicus, Toni, ucci, moosehunter, VSP, etc. – i guess we had to expect an arch-nemesis sooner or later. while others have attempted to fit the bill – one who incessantly taunted JFT, for example – none had the mental horsepower to be a worthy opponent.

15:54’s delta tau chi name is …. “Mr Glass”

those LA links were posted yesterday in the hangover… you don’t read all the comments in the site? 😛

Lance, Horner and Levi “Bottle!” to race in Gila. They’ll wear Mellow Johnny’s jerseys and kits.

dying for us to go the way of baseball/football/every other sport in the world except track & field … legalize dope and enjoy the entertainment b/c that’s all pro sports is – entertainment.

Andy Schleck and Philippe Gilbert should sue for damages, after proof of clean racing as well…
