Sorry? Is that aimed at me?
I was just offering advice offering hugs to people is hugely patronising , using an alter ego to support your own posts is stupid especially when you get caught out and the posting of YouTube clips is just infantile.
However I will give credit where it's due as I have in other posts , Enrique has done some good things this year and I'd rather not see him revert to his 2013 version as I honestly think he's better than that
I can't seem to find any YellowFluo - Neri Sottoli (A team named after a serious tropical disease) riders in the start list. Have you pre-banned them for doping already?
No it was not aimed at you, it was aimed at drheaton who i have lot of time for as he and others do a lot for the game etc but there's no justification to get personal when enrique is being helpful in a positive way.
Fair enough can't argue with that
I'm sorry, when it comes to enrique I have a short fuse, I shouldn't have said what I did and I apologise.
If you go back a while I think its fair to say that I gave enrique the benefit of the doubt for a long time, much longer than others, but that in the end his largely patronising way, incessant "suggestions" which were basically becoming almost hourly posts on how things would be better if X, Y or Z were allowed (often contradicting each other) or how things were better before something was changed (despite enrique requesting or supporting that change) and general forum demeanor pushed me over the edge and to get to the point at the end of this thread
http://road.cc/content/forum/85578-rider-values
I admit that largely the behaviour of enrique has improved at the start of this year (the astroturfing using a second account aside) but my opinion has been coloured by past behavior which means that I have less patience and perhaps 'go off on one' a little too easily when it comes to enrique. I'll try to do something about that and give him a fair chance so long as he stops offering me a hug.
This probably will also go some way to explain why those who've been on the forums longer appear to have an unfairly negative opinion of enrique, at least in the eyes of newer players. As a whole the forum is generally a nice play to be and to chat and I'd hate to think that the way some that some of the long standing users react to enrique give new forum people a negative opinion of the forum as a whole so I will try and be better
Try typing VIN into the search box. they still have their old team code
with you on this dr H.
He grows on you, I am getting used to him.....but he still needs to learn when to back off a bit. Yes he's helping and willing but can also push things a just that bit to far!
Thanks! That works!
So now we can add Finetto, even though he's inactive and he'll be activated later, right? I can't read Italian but I think the Yellow Fluo website states he'll ride, right? (http://www.yellowfluoteam.com/det_news.php?id=631&ANAR=)
You, sir, are a gentleman...
You've grown on me, too
Will we be getting a roster up date tonight? please
Gerdemann out... Bang goes a lot of people's go-to 3.0 choice (or one of them, anyway). Wonder if he will actually do anything this season or not?
Reminds me though - MTN-Qhubeka's kit is my favourite in the pro-peloton bar none. I don't wear replica jerseys, but if I did it'd be this one.
Yay! Finetto's in! Thanks to whoever is running this! Dan?
Is Evans out, or is he just not active on the game?
Yeah....he was one of the two standout 3.0ers for me......I had to look to check that the other one wasn't a younger,lesser brother or something(a bit like the Chavanel's!!).....in fact he's someone I'd have considered even up around the ten credit mark.....I'll bet he's right up there in selection percentage(although I'll not name him just in case-marginal gains and all that!!).
Well other than the obvious 2 I have no clue on who to pick for this so it's Italian and random in equal measure
