sometime Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 if the shoe fits... and so what? all I said was that it makes me wonder... Last I checked, thats perfectly acceptable comment... Your 'wondering' is transparent and is (in my opinion) inferring that since David George was bust for EPO, Kevin Evan's race performance has dropped. The inference from your side being that he was on EPO with David George and now that he is no longer on EPO his performance has been inconsistent. That could be regarded as libellous so you need be to be careful what you say both here and on Twitter. I'm not here to defend Evans but you should take into account the fact that he has had some serious health issues and surgery since he split with David George, and age wise might be regarded as heading towards the end of his competitive cycling career.
davetapson Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I aint no tweeting expert but don't you have to follow someone to see their tweets? Seems a bit silly to follow someone whos tweets you don't like.... Look I haven't seen any of the tweets - if they're light hearted and kinda fun then I don't see an issue. If it's tweettrolling then why the fark do it on the first place? Geez dude, don't confuse the whole issue with common sense! What kind are you!?

Then brandon els got his knickers in a knot and threatened all sorts of things. reminds me an aweful lot of how lance used to deal with things... anyways, I think its rather short sighted of them to start an all out legal battle. I said to brandon stewart that although I dont agree, because it affects their livelihood I wont say anymore. Then AFTER that, evans phoned me with threats and bully tactics, and brandon els had his rant on twitter. Kinda shortsighted tho. I'm sure fedgroup and itec will be super pleased with them. And seriously - what have I got to lose? They are putting their jobs on the line for what?
Eldron Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Geez dude, don't confuse the whole issue with common sense! What kind are you!? My bad - I only realised post posting. It won't happen again. Rage on tweetbattle - passive aggression to the fore and infer infer infer then play dumb when the replies roll in.
DIPSLICK Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 im not on twitter, couldnt care less when someone takes a dump and tells the world about it, what i dont get is everyone posts everything about themselves and then get all defensive when someone does not agree or like what they saying surely if you the SHARING IS CARING TYPE it must go both ways but hey maybe i am just to old to hear about "how awesome my socks are"
davetapson Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I'm in two minds about bikeass. He is funny most of the time, but now and then... hmmm. Hitting below the belt and then saying 'Where's your sense of humour?' doesn't cut it. I can't remember what made me think this - it was nothing that's been mentioned in these posts - was one or two of his early posts. But, like has been said before, if you don't like it, don't read it. That goes for the guys who's cage he's rattling. And, also as has been said, the responses from those that should be ignoring him make for interesting reading.
_David_ Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I aint no tweeting expert but don't you have to follow someone to see their tweets? You don't have to follow someone, they can "mention" you in their tweets and their tweet will appear in your "Mentions tab".

I agree, some funny stuff, but can take it a bit far..
DIPSLICK Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Real Mountain Bikers™ don't wear socks... i checked a oke doing 3 towers in black pt shorts, slops, and a sterkmaak vest i only saw him for about 5 seconds when he flew past me :blush: you could check that oke was as hard as nails

Patchelicious Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Then AFTER that, evans phoned me with threats and bully tactics, and brandon els had his rant on twitter. I saw this on twitter, very Lancy of him.... #justdontdooprah
fandacious Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 I saw this on twitter, very Lancy of him.... #justdontdooprah its like they dont understand the streisand effect
Myra Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 its like they dont understand the streisand effectI thought you were just voicing what a lot of us are thinking, and the response is telling. If there wasn't any truth in it, why the need to get aggro.

Myra Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 If you're guility then you may get aggro.If someone defames you, you may also get aggro. Do you know which one it is? Is speculation defamation, or is it just putting thoughts out there? No definite allegations made - no defamation.
