Not only that he teaches anguish to high school students

Tough brake (sic) to have to put the breaks (sic) on you're (suc) pro
racing career to teach the anguish language to hi-skoolers.

Bicycles have "brakes" - dumbass. cronies doesn't have an h in it.
squirrel--- - never mind.

'tom danielson and some of his chronies used to race collegiately for
FLC, this was the late 90's, and they were well known as the
squirilliest bunch of mountain bikers ever to hit the tarmac, knees
and
elbows out, couldn't hold a straight line, rotating the wrong way in
the wind, overlapped wheels, scary stuff.
once in a crosswind in a flat race, I saw one of them - not him - fly
off the side of the road, into a ditch, at 30mph, rather than use his
breaks I guess. then he chased back, all dirty and torn up, rambo
style."

Later, you argue 'bigger racing balls' with Tom Kunich in the thread.
(We all know to argue with Tom only about his inventions not his
palmarès:

'when in fact Tom I'm sure I've raced more than you, won more races
than you. travelled
around the US to race more than you, and I still race for fun, and I'm
still fast, doing my fastest TT ever last year and winning two little
local TT's '

We can't imagine how little these were - they would have required at
least 20 other riders to not show up and for a 50 year old man to be
unable to find his Jazzy to get to the van and make it to the starting
line.

Anton,
are you obsessed with me now? I hope not, that would really be sad...
Have you read all my stuff, I wrote some at the backs for Velonews,
you can order some back issues and masturbate to them,

Dear Mitch,
Your onanistic invitations are not welcome on this newsgroup. If you
wish to indulge your depravity, please do so on a more appropriate web
site. Try chatroulette - you'll fit right in.

thanks

Better is the prophetic final post:

Floyd Landis was notoriously sketchy when he started racing for
Mercury
too, another MTB rider who switched to road, nobody wanted to be on
his
wheel that first season - and we all know what a pathetic loser that
guy is, helping Lance with the TDF and all that.

Responding in kind to your taunts, gibes, and trash talk
is obsession? If you want your spiteful reminiscences
ignored by the adults try alt.were-above-it-all.

I'm not googling "Old Fritz", I don't care who you are or what you
did. Anton seems
to be spending some time researching my cycling results from 1996,
which I think is
weird and obsessive - maybe to you guys this kind of behaviour is
normal, but
I have to disagree.
You grammar experts and writers should look up the meaning
of sarcasm, take a deep breath, stop taking your anonymous personas so
seriously
and think about what I originally said about J. Vaughters, I didn't
start a thread to get into
a pissing match with a bunch of weirdos who probably never raced a
bike in your lives.

I'm sure you got into cycling because you fantasized about the smell
of Lance Armstrong
chamois, then got into authoritatively pontificating about the whole
doping debate - which you know nothing about.
I'm sure there are better bike racers and writers on RBR than me, but
you four or five guys
are barely coherent, kinda creepy and too easy to antagonize into a
delusional frenzy.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel, kinds kinda boring after the
115th post.

Schatzi (mind if I call you Schatzi?),

I don't really care what you wrote on usenet or
in Velonews back in the day, it's not important
for evaluating your contributions to rec.bicycles.racing
right now. So let's stick to that.

You keep saying we should think seriously about
what you wrote about J. Vaughters (whom this
newsgroup previously loved so much that he was
dubbed Anorexic Drew Carey, by the way), and not
fixate on your personality or past. But every time you
say that, you can't help but throw in a few jabs about
what a bunch of freaks RBR posters are, how we
probably never raced bikes, are a bunch of Armstrong
chamois-sniffers, and drop names on training rides.

So every time you do that, you undermine your own
argument - you make it a personality and qualifications
contest. That is why you are getting shit, just like
someone who rolls up on a training ride and starts
woofing about their palmares but can't hold a straight
line is going to find everyone moving a little away
from them.

As for the anonymous Fred nicknames, just pretend
we took those for reasons of political liberation, like
Malcolm X. They are merely labels, but like the "Dumbass"
salutation, people offended by them reveal more about
their own thin skin than about the labels.

Thanks,

I have been called Schatzy by everyone I've ever known since I was a
baby. It's the most popular name for a dog in Germany - I am a
sweetheart.
Your post is thought provoking, and makes me feel slightly guilty for
my behaviour.
It's ironic that I called Brad a name-dropper, but then went on to try
to build myself up using past accomplishments that aren't very
impressive - I dated the prettiest blonde girl in middle school (for 2
weeks) and also hit four home runs in one game in little league (they
were all off the tee). I get it.

I hate cyclingnews.com forums - too busy - and decided as an
experiment to post to RBR after a five year absence.
The results exceeded my wildest expectations honestly - over 100 posts
- ALL ABOUT PIZZA!
But you guys are also self-defensive and overtly hostile, the first
ten responses were about my mental health, and wow, you guys can dish
it out but hate taking it:
talk about thin skin for a bunch of anonymous people named Fred or
some variant of Fred.

My JV post got very little responses that were actually about JV -
they were all about ME, my fave subject, and I love talking and
writing about ME, all the attention - I just loved it!
Keep in mind, most of what I wrote was classic newsgroup troll:
sarcastic, but not mean spirited, I mean how can I hate a bunch of
anonymous people named FREDENSTEIN, of the FREDINATOR, or DROP DEAD
FRED or
FREDIRICK THE GREAT, or...you get the point.
I was honestly interested in engaging in an honest debate about JV's
hypocrisy, but quickly realized that this was
RBR, a forum for insulting each other.
I even got called a dumbass online for the first time in five years -
the ultimate term of endearment here on RBR, and
it brought back fond memories, but ultimately, I have more interesting
things to do than antagonize random "freds".
Anyway, I have to watch a movie now and go to bed, my wife won't let
me do this anymore, she is frowning a lot.

I spent less than 20 minutes on you. But for some select RBR's I've
spent enough time to know how many years their father spent in prison
and when's the last time they got a speeding ticket.

I told you he was framed! The other guy backed up into the bullet.
Sheesh.

And no doubt frustrated. Luckily for her the cure for hysteria was
invented around the turn of the last century.

Do not have to. It derives from a root meaning "bite".

Yes, you did, and you continue to mine the same vein.

I know a great deal about the doping debate.

So that's how they knew Ullrich was a Fuentes client.
