new behaviors on this forum, starting now, thanks in advance for helping out.
1. no more lance threads, or lance as a topic, at all, in any context. this is not because we are either protecting him from vilification, nor is it because we are screening out all adulation. it is very simply that lance = abortion = gun rights = climate change. there is just no way that we know of to have a thread about lance not turn toxic or vitriolic. so, if you want to talk about lance, please do it on letrsun, bt, facebook, or anywhere but here. please abide by this.
2. very tight rein on doping discussions. why? see what lance equals above, that's what doping equals. so, when zackc asks a very legitimate and time sensitive question about doping, that's fine. and that's the sort of discussion we're happy to host. but no more of this free-for-all, food fight stuff. same thing. bt, letsrun, facebook, go to town. not here.
for those of you unhappy with this, i'd love to hear your views but forewarned is forearmed, i've been getting barraged by those who are afraid to post on this forum because of these recent discussions that have turned so acrid. this was always intended to be a place where folks can get their questions answered, and who could share their own personal stories and thoughts. let's give these newer forum members a chance to do this in a more appropriate setting. thanks for your help and understanding.
