I have it on authority from Weldon Johnson himself that the person posting as Mr. Bush et al has been banned for two weeks.
I realize that Mr. Bush might be able to find a way around the banning and post before that time is up, but it was important that it be recognized that Mr. Bush's behavior wasn't acceptable.
My respect for Wejo and this site has returned.
Let's talk about running.
Haven't been here long enough to know who that is.
Another victory for runners!
Stepay is right, let's talk about running.
here's an absolutely wild idea... but couldn't he just post under a different name?
Stepay,
Shouldn't you be banned for being dishonest. I mean, it is clear to anyone that looks that you are Knower (unless, of course, there are 2 36 year olds with identical PR's in each distance).
I am not defending anyone here, least of all Bush-twit, but I think it is sort of disingenuous for you to get Bush banned after you have engaged in endless debates with him and the other nitwit, doing so under the auspices of "Knower", and then tell the world that the seldom heard "Stepay" is leaving because Wejo doesn't moderate the board enough. If he was so offensive, why did you even debate him to begin with?
Doesn't pass the stink test, Stepay.
You say that I involved myself in discussions with Mr. Bush and Joe Black. That is all true. But, I have only ever taken the discussion as far as is necessary and have never resorted to endless berating. I am the one who offered a truce. No troll would ever do that.
As far as my times go, the only one that is public knowledge on this site is my 5,000 time of 14:58. I have not posted any other times and so your assertion that stapey and I are the same person isn't necessarily so.
Let's assume for a minute that we are the same person. Is having multiple identities a bannable offense here? The answer to that question is NO.
Also, you said that stapey hasn't posted much. Seems to me I've read lots by that poster.
Here are my PRs:
2 mile - 9:21
5000 - 14:58
8K - 25:15
10000 - 32:24
There is no way knower has those same times.
I didn't get Mr. Bush banned. Wejo has the power to ban. i simply pointed out that perhaps that poster has done things that deserve a banning.
If you feel that about me, then make a case to Wejo and let him decide.
I'm going back to reading about running.
To make sure we avoid another Magpie situation... is that 9:21 a 2miler or 3200? If 3200m, then it is really about an adjusted 9:24 2mile.
Just looking out for your best interests...
[here's an absolutely wild idea... but couldn't he just post under a different name?
Not (as easily) if they ban IPs.
If you note the following post by Knower under the thread "Buttmunch Question", last post in the thread being 9/6/2002; Knower claims to have the fastest times as our friend Stepay here. Knower and Stepay also seem to have an equal disdain of Bush-twit, and are both the same age. Too much coincidence, Stepay. Again, not saying I disagree with getting bush bounced, but you were equal part of the problem:
"Knower RE: Buttmunch Question 9/5/2002 10:30AM - in reply to buttmunch Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
No Secret. I've already posted them:
9:48 for 3200 in high school
9:21 for two miles in college
14:58 for 5,000
25:15 for 8K cross country "
Knower, everyone here has figured you out. You, Stepay, Answer Man, and Obvious Man are the same person. Make up you mind.
PS Buckeyes suck!
That is actually an indoor 2-mile brother. I only ran that distance a couple of times ever, and it was always on an indoor track. My high school 3200 PR was 9:48.
No magpie situation here. For one thing, the times aren't good enough for that!
Ha ha Busted! You have the same PR's as Knower!
"No magpie situation here. For one thing, the times aren't good enough for that!" - Stepay
It's the principle.. actual times shouldn't matter, although faster times certainly get more scrutiny and are easier to validate (or invalidate). Regardless, it was a joke (OK, not too funny of one) that I am sure you got.
With a time like that, I would keep my mouth shut.
I don't follow all these threads, but you all were right Stepay is all of the above people you mentioned. Since he was less than honest (and has been dishonest in this thread as well) and has over 1000 posts (yes 1000) on the boards under various names he too has been banned for 2 weeks.
Should we implement that a person can post only so many times a week? 20 a week would be a lot in my opinion. I wonder what Stepay will do with his time now.
Required registration might be the next step.
That's right folks.
Required registration might be a good step, but I am not sure... Letstrun might lose some of its flavor... tough call.
Although the Stepay/Knower posts more than the average, I am a little surprised at this ban when there seems like there are so many ban-worthy people out here.
Let's see Stepay gets it for less than honest (arguable since he did own up to it on the other thread), and for posting too much. Hmmm...
How about some bannings just for stupid posts, that would be a better reason. I'll offer a banning service for free.. we'll have a bulletin board (as someone suggested), and it will be fun.
Paula, is that you?
Damn, you guys are good!
Someone tell me. I've often wondered that Janet Reno an Al Gore are the same person. Can anyone verify?
