What brings out the most venom on FSU?

[allezfred]

Rather narcissistic for you to think my post was directed at you.

I didn't. It was about your posting style in general. At the point when you're on the losing end of an argument you resort to "you're twisting and manipulating the words that I wrote on this board. How dare you!"

But, have at it, that's who you are.

I think I'll go outside and walk my dog in a very quiet peaceful place.

Glad to hear you're taking my advice.

Definite-

Brian Joubert opening his mouth
Patrick Chan's scores AND opening his mouth
Johnny's coyness

Ok, then we have a disaster in the making. Let's say that Patrick and Brian start talking about each other again during a competition. Let's also imagine that Johnny Weir is there commenting on their "showdown." Of course, Patrick, the outspoken guy that he is, would comment on Johnny's commentary. FSU would have a long long thread on this. That would eventually have to be closed by an admin.

Unfortunately, I couldn't bring Evgeny into this imaginary scenario. Too bad.

Well, I could bring him in by using this scenario:

What with the next Olympics coming to his home country and with his possbile participation in such, EP was asked his opinion on the trash talking taking place between what are possibly two of his possible competitors in Sochi. Of course, this interview would only be printed somewhere in Russia. People on some figure skating forum (FSU ) then begin "discussion a la " on what it meant/didn't mean depending upon who is doing the translation and of course understanding what he meant/didn't mean in the context of what he said and of his culture rather than just taking it at face value.

How's that? All tongue in cheek of course!

Gee, I thought your advice was to all live in crowded congested cities, where I would not be able to go far with my dog, and where we all could ride trains. I, on the other hand, and according to you, believe that everyone should live as I do. In a quiet, peaceful place.

Ziggy, FrauMuller, alllezfred, MarieM, Andrey aka Pushkin, Asli... FSU woudn't be the same without them

I realized I came across as an ass-kisser
...and that was totally my intention

yep but to drop you in it.. you are however suggesting that the aforementioned personalities create venom on FSU

[bbkenn]

Lots of venom at Canadian skaters in general, and European/NAmerican/Asian judges in particular at Canadian events.

Scott Hamilton and Sandra Bezic

Plushy draws alot of venom.

[JJH]

Any skater who uses the adjectives 'manly' or 'masculine' even once in an interview is doomed.

[AliasJohnDoe]

The Olympics seems to heighten the venom. It's like a full moon.

[Frau Muller]

Robinhood, thanks for including me in such lofty company! Cheers!

This forum generally promotes hateful behavior and commentary in the guise of "wit and humor." Such comments reflect more on the posters' self-loathing rather than the actual skaters - A reason why I only have 400 or so posts since 2002.

That's my fave thing about this board!!! Can't take that away!

20,000 posts

No, my advice was to get out of the kitchen. Didn't do you much good by the sound of things.

Sandwiched between FrauMuller and MarieM.

How about -

Brian Joubert commenting on Patrick Chan's scores and saying Chan's skating is not butch enough to merit those scores. Patrick says that Joubert and the French need to show better decorum. Johnny suggests in an interview a few days later that they are both in-the-closet, Lady Gaga lovin' cross dressers. Meanwhile, Plushenko gets reinstated and wins the very next GP event beating all 3 of them with no transitions

What if they say "I like manly men?"

LOL. That is true....kinda

[DORISPULASKI]

For reasons I , as a non British person, do not understand, British ice dance threads have often had to be closed at an alarming rate.

And then there's poor old John Baldwin.
