Did you get lost on the slowtwitch highway and make a wrong turn to the lavender room?

Don't know any particulars except to say that I used to be a moderator of a site back in the day and most people that got a permaban got that ban not for what they said in the forum, but what they said to me and others mods in private message.

People that took their vacations for something that they said that was out of bounds only were banned permanently if they couldn't control themselves time and again and that was very rare.

It was those that refused their vacations, went into threats, accusations that saw the ban come quickly and permenantly.

I just assumed I would get banned if I put that in the triathlon forum.

If you assumed you would get banned if you put it in the tri forum, then why would you not assume you will get banned if you put it here?

It would be interesting to see a list of banned folks.

I think we all know the political persuasion of the vast majority of those who were banned.

It’s probably why people saying it’s “nicer” here now.

A simple joke, I'll be more liberal with my pink font moving forward

I have no idea what this is about (never heard of Talbot), but I assume "seeing things differently" isn't a great description of the core issue.

I’ve been around for almost 20 years, and I don’t remember seeing anyone get banned for simply disagreeing with Dan. I don’t spend a ton of time in the tri forum anymore, but I doubt he’s banning people for simple disagreements. Typically, people who make that claim have conveniently left out any mention of their poor conduct, language, etc.

(insert pithy phrase here...)

If I can provide an example of someone getting banned for posting truthful, but inconvenient info that’s contrary to the overarching liberal consensus on ST would you take a break from ST for 3 months?

This is sad, talbot used a lot of our feedback for generating his videos - which in turn probably increased a lot of the sites traffic and growth of triathlete fandom

Ah, I can guess why.

Talbot is promoting an alternative forum while simultaneously bashing this one. You can usually get away with one of those things at a time. Both together is just begging to get banned.

Slowman doesn't need to provide free advertising for people to head on over to some other site.

I'd like to see that.

One exception that seemed to get you insta-banned here was insinuating that Lance may have been doping.
I suspect Lance's aggressive and litigious lawyers made life difficult for Dan so people got banned for that stuff.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

I've only been on here since 2012 and there have been less than a handful who were band for a single post and those were pretty outrageous. There are a few who have been banned for a single post but that is only because they came back in after a previous ban trying to use a different name. Most are given a lot of rope before they are banned. Several people have had long discussion posts going back and forth with Dan so he wasn't banned for disagreeing with him.

Who the hell is Talbot Cox? Or wolf359 or ADabs? My understanding is all three of them are irredeemable degenerates.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Wholeheartedly agree

Really, I thought I spent years here arguing the obvious? But maybe that was a cycling forum I use to frequent.

Doubt it. I think it was simply that they were, at one point, pretty close. Knew and respected each other. When you see people trashing a buddy on your own site, it's hard.

It's easy to be myopic w.r.t. to doping when you know the person well. And it's easy to trash someone you don't know at all.

Why in the world would one post about being banned to ST on IG? And Dan's never been quick with the Ban Hammer. He's been very clear about the rules and sends out warnings to those who need it (both publically and privately).

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:
http://tri-banter.blogspot.com/

Who are Jan and Lionel? Did they get banned too. "This is the worst of the worst of all catastrophies in the world" Herb Morrison

Sure. If you can provide a valid example of some being banned just for telling the truth. No other poor conduct. No other use of prohibited words. No posting of stuff that puts Dan in legal jeopardy. No using the site as a free business opportunity. No using the forum to try to destroy someone else’s business, or posting private information.

And the example would have to be verifiable, and not just a whiny complaint.

I found his IG even though I still haven't clue one why I should care.

To make it humorous, while whining about bans and being banned on here he talks about how easy it will be to ban people who he doesn't like what they post from the discord server.

I change my thought to not so sad anymore. Pulling away users from here to control the narrative is not cool

My experience with Dan is he is a very reasonable person. Does make you wonder if there is more to the story here.
