heh, in fairness he's managed to keep people responding. I'm enjoying my popcorn while reading along. I this guy passed me on a bike path I would certainly call him out.

I liked in the earlier days where Dan required a few podium finishes on the bike path before you earned a membership and user name here on the site. I remember training all winter to earn the title of JT_Dennen. Hell couldn't even get fruit snacks without a few podiums.

And I honestly wonder why..

Sorry to see him go. 'H2O Fun' should not be the only one here stirring up the crowd.

Marathonrunner's posts in the Lavender Room were particularly fun.

He won't go. Just like the Lavender room thread he got pummeled in he'll keep coming back to troll for awhile.

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

I believe he can ask whatever triathlon related questions he wants, as long as he is respectful of others.

We are free to ignore him, or to reply to his questions...

My 2 cents...

who? (clearly out of the loop, and doesn't care to be in the loop from sounds of things)

There's a button for that, if you need help

So, I had a previous thread locked because I singled out a specific poster in the forum by the title- not this person, but anyway... just letting you know, if you don't know already or even care, where this may eventually lead...

i don't care

and it's a completely troll thread. i copied and pasted from the "who's sick of taylor phinney?" thread

Fruit snacks are for winners

Dave, he's getting pummeled for different reasons; and at the moment, taking a far greater beating. :)

The difference is that you started a thread that was serious in nature about a real person who goes by their true name and happens to not actually be a troll, just an asshole.

This here is a satirical thread about the best new actual troll in triathlon (and one of the finest in triathlon internets history, in my opinion).

Big difference. This thread shall stand.

So you're an administrator now? And, I disagree, you can't help but be a troll and an asshole.

Your adulation of him above almost definitively confirms my suspicion that marathonrunner is the new Pubes. Pink...kind of maybe.

If not, the irony of it all is so multileveled that it borders on stupidity. Guy creates an alter-ego, alter-ego trolls, alter-ego gets banned, "real guy" makes triumphant return as an expert of sorts, real guy becomes second alter-ego, real guy defends alter-ego to another guy who attempts to publicly call him out, guy who calls him out gets warned by administrators, "real guy" acts like administrator... what a circle jerk...

I miss EggplantOG, always put a smile on my face.

Where's Eggy now?

'It never gets easier, you just get crazier.'

I also miss him (her?) deeply. Where would we be without posts like this?

That post still brings a smile to my face. Classic!

Hey man I have bigger problems: I just put Di2 on my mountain bike but I'm still can't hang with guys on descents. I think it's my wheels. They're too heavy. Maybe a set of Enve's will change the game for me.


I don't know if he's trolling or not. At first it seemed like a guy who really liked tri gear even if he didn't know much about it and that's fine. I tried to answer his questions honestly and in a helpful manner.

I'll admit, once the "808s are slowing me down on the bike path" comments came out I stepped away.... mainly because I'm 90% sure I know where this guy rides and 808s on that trail.... not an optimum choice. Let's just say DarkSpeedWork's monster-cross bike is the appropriate bike if you want to train on that trail.

I haven't seen him be rude or disrespectful to anyone, he's generally polite, and often says "thank you" so I say carry on.

I'm being a bore, but spanners like that just f*ck up forums. Interesting threads descend into puerile slanging matches and get locked. Not so much on here, which is good, but other forums.
