Anyone who answered anything other than "Yes" to the "Did you cry when Meb won Boston" thread should be permanently banned. This should be an easy action to implement. Exception can be those with non-US IP addresses.
I know, right? It's like smelling your own farts.
I think the reason why there is so much uproar over the 'trolls' suggesting that there was something dodgy in this race are only doing so because they're feeling guilty that deep down they actually know there's a good chance it's true.
The pro-fix crowd are making a good argument, the fanboys are just wailing and howling to try to drown out the noise without actually coming up with anything decent in return.

"good argument"? Really? Some nebulous group made up of the BAA and John Hancock get together and throw a lot of money at two dozen guys so that they agree to not win and let Meb win. Meb is or isn't in on it? The Americans are or aren't paid? Everyone approached with this idea agrees to take the money and not spill the secret? Everyone does keep the secret? We're talking dozens of people knowing about this and not one wants to speak? Not one thinks this is wrong and wants to blow the whistle?
The better argument: a nearly 39 year old barely sub-2:10 guy takes off and the field decides he isn't a threat, lets him get too far ahead, and can't run him down as he PRs on what turns out to be a fast day.
