This week in the forums- Question/Moderations office hours open now

Greg, as I've said before you don't deserve the treatment you're getting. I probably intended to give you a time out because you were baiting them, but then as I worked my way through the trolls, the thread became Swiss cheese and unsalvageable. Anyway you have to stop antagonizing your detractors. Please stop linking your YouTube channel. Thats spam and its repetitive. Virtue challenges ( "I'm a compassionate person are you?) are guaranteed to derail. I know you mean well, but the trolls just eat that stuff up.

So get it? When the trolls turn your threads into Swiss cheese they're doomed. Don't fight the trolls just report them. Be patient, stuff doesn't happen like magic. Is that OK with you.

You're not a bad guy. All the mods treat you fairly and the same.

Yep don't engage with them. Easier said than done. I take your point.

Why do you care what a bunch of online randos think? I sure as heck don't.

There's a simple solution:

1. Change your handle.

2. Don't reveal yourself (like you immediately did when you changed from Greg to Will Teasle).

3. Don't reveal yourself through your choice of topics, for example, Edmonton, the homeless, a certain TV script. Those topics have been beaten to death. Move on.

Problem solved.

Anonymity is your friend.

Its understandable why you'd want to lash out but don't.

Well Coevett you state that you are the most IMPORTANT anti-doping poster here. What the hell does that even mean? Then you conflate the reason a moderator banned you with your anti-doping stance and that is NOT the reason you were banned as it was because someone was murdered and you started to bring conjecture about doping into the thread. Imagine if you, the most IMPORTANT anti-doping poster here, were to die, and several of us started posting in your eulogy thread about how much you were obsessed with seeing a dildo in Rudisha’s social media? There is a time and a place. Then you go on and on about some Hoad character, even accusing me multiple times of being this poster, when I have no idea who you’re even referring to.
I think we would all be better off not thinking we are the most important poster here. This is a good place to visit, but not to live.

OK Hoad. So Rudisha was making some strange point on Instagram after his ex-wife had left him, and I and one of the Brojos saw a dildo on his fireplace, but you and others saw a dismembered limb of a child's doll. Ok.

You’re weird, dude.

Hey Coevett,

off topic but I read on another thread you were looking into a hair transplant.

Do you plan to use medications like finasteride and use other techniques to get your hair back?

I have looked into a hair transplant myself, but I've decided I'd rather lose my remaining hair as opposed to getting a transplant and being on meds and pouring drops into my scalp.

What I'm saying is stuff you may know already - but the transplant in and of itself usually needs to be accompanied by other techniques to maintain your hair volume.

A transplant without DHT blocking medications is not likely to be successful for permsnent hair restoration.

Please add an option on report post for a non running thread started in a running category. Let readers help identify threads that are not running related.

Why are those who defend the apartheid genocidal state allowed to name call while avoiding discussing the actual facts?

What kind of gibberish is this? Have you been drinking? I will rewrite correctly with corrections in bold.

"No it doesn't. The First Amendment ensures the right to associate (or not) with whoever you want. The He-Man Woman Hater's club could exclude Darla for any reason. But, they liked Darla.

Why is this guy allowed to lie about DanM and me? Neither of us has ever taken a shot at homosexuality. I never respond to Harambe, having long ago blocked him. In fact, I avoid personal attacks completely. My facts and comments on Israel anger many people who show no such constraint and smear and name call profusely. I do not sink to their level

That's funny.

People reveal who they are. You just have to pay attention. Coevett is obsessed with some poster named Hoad, who likely rarely posts here now. Coevett thinks that anyone who pushes back at his sometimes bizarre views must be the same person. But you see, when you are as important as Coevett, it must seem unthinkable that there could be more than one who differs with your views.

It's true. I will call some comments out for being dishonest or ridiculous, but I have no need to label and smear other commenters and to call for their banning. That's the province of the apologists for genocide.

Another point I want to raise is about disinformation on the Ukraine/Russia thread. One poster has suggested there is no evidence Russia has invaded Ukraine. That comment is obviously false. Given the gravity of the conflict and the worldwide implications it has, I think LR should be doing more to address this kind of behaviour. The Brojos have been clear they do not support Putin - so why don't they get that thread under control? Actions speak louder than words.
