Sunblock Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Is everyone looking forward to coming down to marrow freezing, dull as a doornail <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Bloemfontein - for SA Cycling Champs? I don?t envy you guys. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Meanwhile, after some thought I now realize Sylvia?s ?reprimand? was conveyed through Madelein (unless there?s something else I don?t know about) which must have filtered through to her via the head of Southern Free State Cycling. Madelein called me, very irate, late last night and accused me of all sorts of things, and she kept repeating: ?you went behind my back?? in reference to the Hub. I think she?s misunderstood and misinterpreted the comments (7 points I laid out somewhere here detailing exactly what happened) I made that referred to my previous cycling club. I maintained anonymity about individuals and Clubs as a teeny little gesture of respect (despite saying who I was). Even that iota of respect wasn?t deserved.But all credit to her, Madelein took some extra initiative (beyond Sylvia?s reprimand) and told me she had emailed Sylvia and decided, as LawMaker of the club, not to allow me to be a member of Lindsay Saker Cycling Club either, and the whole licensing thing (which she had supervised) would basically be stalled too. Thanks. Yes, that makes sense, and even more so, going beyond the call of duty to do the sensible thing. So a very considerate gesture indeed, thanks for understanding things so well. I assume I?ll at least get my photos back Madelein? On the phone Madelein compared me to her husband (who also cycles in my age group, is one of the best and has a much better attitude to the sport ? thanks for that personal anecdote, that helps a lot), called me ?negative?, etc. I don?t know, since when can someone from a Cycling Club call you up and talk to you like that? How can anyone assume such an arrogant position in terms of another person? Although I am not pleased, I can honestly say, when I started writing articles and posting stories on the Hub, it was from the position that I had already lost the possibility of participating in 2007?s major races, and worse, lost A LOT of private love and motivation for cycling through the interference of FSF: Free State?s Finest. I never said anything that wasn?t true, and I conveyed my opinions. Sorry, I thought I was allowed to do that? This is the Free State (or is it Nazi Germany?) I?m a passionate person, so I care when garbage (and this is the definition of garbage, all this, right here) happens. I especially care when sport gets poisoned pretty much by a bunch of people who have very little to do with the nuts and bolts of every day participation in the sport: they never ride their bikes, hardly ever train and make policies about other people but don?t talk or listen to them, unless it is to tell them their place. Luke, Lance K, Roland ? I feel your pain. So if Clubs are going to tell me: You can?t do this, we won?t let you ride, and we?re going to block you here, here and here, and make it impossible to ride in this province (because we didn?t like something you said, or how you said it) ? is that going to bother me if I am not riding anyway? I was aware of the risk in stating what I felt (please note I haven?t hidden behind avatars or written anything anonymously), and I was also aware that this year is a write off anyway. So what else do I have to loose? I?m not riding anyway! Still, it?s disappointing that people can be this petty. The sheer amount of text I?ve written on this subject in just 1 month should give a tip-of-iceberg idea of how much the local shambles irritates me. Since I?ve received a warning (thanks), here?s mine: you basically have a contract with your Club when you sign a form that?s provided, and that?s binding. Why can?t/don?t Clubs honor that? Lindsay Saker Cycling Club is now the second club to demonstrate such a pernicious neglect of their mandate. I wonder what their namesake would say about this? Let me repeat that in case I wasn?t clear: I wonder how the sponsors feel about the disrespect going on. I doubt that they?d approve. In the Free State they go to the ends of the Earth to lay down the letter of the law: No license, no ride. No exceptions. But when they don?t feel like sticking to their own rules (because they don?t like you, or are in a bad mood), then once again, Free State Cycling remains an utter shambles as far as I?m concerned. Who do you complain to though when it?s a Mafia of mayhem, help-jou-broer-maar-spoeg-op-die-engelsman, and this backslapping goes from local level all the way to the top? This isn?t the Weermacht, it?s Cycling! So the question must be asked: whose your Daddy?Answer: the public, on forums like this one.
Psycho Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Sonblokkie, as fietsry jou passie is, hoekom hou jy aan om net negatiewe goed te skryf????As jy regtig so goed is soos jy voorgee, dan sou jy die issue agter jou gesit het en jou fokus op SA's herstel het, en gesorg het dat jy jou lisensie agtermekaar kry en aangehou oefen het.... om te presteer......Ek hoop van harte dat Madelein ook sal register op die Hub en dan ook bietjie die ander kant van die storie (of jou K@K in die geval) kan stel, ek vind dat jy dit baie eensydig stel, (seker maar joernalistieke skills) Arme Sonblokkie Die VICTIM.... Shame..... Ek hoop ook dat Madelein sal noem hoe JY teenoor haar tekere gegaan het, maar dalk is dit nie goed om tot jou vlak te daal nie....... ek vind jou comment uiters afbrekend selfs teenoor die mense wat jou probeer help het.....Dalk moet ons sommer jou vorige klub se seketaresse vra om ook hier te register en dan dalk ook n paar feite deel oor hoe jy haar sleg gese het.....Ja jys reg jy skuil nie agter name en avatars nie, maar wat ek wel interresant vind is hoe jy kan skel en skree en tekere gaan en dit meestal teenoor Vrouens..... Mmmmm laat mens nogal wonder..... enige unresolved issues wat jy dalk het? Baie van ons is unhappy met CSA en hoe reels net vir sekere mense geld (het dit onlangs weer op die Panorama toer gesien) maar om so tekere te gaan soos wat jy doen, is vir my bietjie te erg...... sorteer dit op n volwasse manier met die betrokke partye, nie soos n kind in n sandput nie Psycho2007-05-23 04:58:11
Guest Big H Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 O SO LYK MY DIE' STORIETJIE HET TWEE KANTE....... VERTEL VERTEL!!!!!!!
Psycho Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Al wat ek sal se is dat Sonblokkie nie so onskuldige slagoffer is van omstandighede soos hy voorgee nie..... maar kom ons hou maar die space dop
Guest Big H Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Fight Fight Faaaaiiiit!!!!!!!!!Soos die Werfbobbejaan wat bo op die paal gesit het en skreeu (daar was so iets op die horison) BRAND!!!! BRAND!!!! BRAND!!!!! iemand se toe vir hom dit is nie brand nie maar wind..... Hy skreeee to WIND !!!! WIND !!!!! WIND!!!!Big H2007-05-23 05:30:05
ewep Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Al wat ek sal se is dat Sonblokkie nie so onskuldige slagoffer is van omstandighede soos hy voorgee nie..... maar kom ons hou maar die space dop Dink jy regtig hy sal iets seg Psycho? Wees nou eerlik, nadat hy CSA et al so ge-nail het sal stilte neerdaal en niks sal ges? word nie.
Psycho Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Nee ewep, sonblokkie sal sy innocence in die saak claim die heeltyd (nes Floyd se doping storie) maar ek dink die Klubs hier tersprake het nou genoeg gehad, en reken dat een van hulle defnetief die anderkant van die storie gaan stel...... ek sal nie verbaas wees as Suid Vrystaat Fietsry dalk ook hier n paar nodige feite kom stel omtrent sonblokkie se beskuldigings...... Sonblokkie, as ek PnP (Pick n Pay) toe gaan is dit nogal hoe dit werk ek pick wat ek wil he en ek pay daarvoor, dan kry ek dit dis myne..... somehow dink ek dat jy sekere klub(s) nog geld skuld, vir klere ens.... klere wat jy nie eens van hou nie, maar so opgewonde is om vir almal hier te vertel dat jy in dit ry en dus reken jy, jy is n klub lid.... graag wil ek jou aansoek vorm sien vir die betrokke klub, of le dit dalk ook nog by n winkel? Oja nog ietsie, daar is n verskil tussen n ledelys en n korrespondensie lys... maar dalk jy sien jy die twee as een, met jou faktor30 in die oe en so
Sunblock Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 Sjoe, so I am being compared to Floyd Landis. And you're right, I'm not as innocent as I seem. Who is? But please contradict me so I can see the case against me. I don't seem to hear all the bad things I've done. And calling people names doesn't count - does it?
Psycho Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Ja sonblokkie dalk is jy netso groot doper soos Floyd, Calling names doesn't count?? so dis ok as ek jou n p*es noem???????
Sunblock Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 Ja, it's okay. I've been called a Casanova, and for me that's worse.But the plot thickens: Slvia just emailed me the following:I expect an unconditional apology. I have corresponded with you once. I have had no contact with anyone in your Province, so please get your facts straight and don't make false accusations.I didn't realise I was making false accusations. Someone must be then. This means that someone is really telling fibs. I get a call late last night saying I am to be reprimanded, as per instructions from CSA. Now CSA are saying they haven't even spoken to Free State Cycling?I even called Madelein back to ask exactly what Syliva had said, had they instructed her to cancel my club membership. She said that was her idea, but the reprimand wasn't. Interesting. Sunblock2007-05-23 07:12:01
Man with no name Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Psycho for president! Sunblock, honestly mate, this is washing dirty laundry in public. One of life's little truths - if you think everybody is wrong (and the rest of us all seem to have licences etc etc).... then normally there's only one person in error. All your posts do is flung around boring rethoric and accusations. Not until your admission above have I read anything, anywhere where you even wonder, for a moment, whether some of this maybe your doing? Choice and consequence with a difference - continue to piss off people in large numbers and it will seem as if the world hates you. Come over to the light side Luke, we'll make a plan with that lightsabre that's up your ass. Man with no name2007-05-23 07:16:18
HolyCrap Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Whoa actually cares, the whole of SA cycling is in shambles, not just free state
Man with no name Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Ja sonblokkie dalk is jy netso groot doper soos Floyd' date=' Calling names doesn't count?? so dis ok as ek jou n p*es noem???????[/quote'] Spidey, wasie popcorn, hou dit warm ek moet my bud gaan help hier gaan nou iemand ge ****sim word. Soos dit nou aangaan sal ek vir 'blokkie moet help om dit fair te maak. Man with no name2007-05-23 07:19:21
