Re: Feud's On!
Yeah, it's VERY ugly over there! 'Pot calling the kettle black' is a gross understatement. This site is Carnegie Hall, the Louvre, and the Shakespeare Library combined, by comparison...Comment

Re: Feud's On!
I like the poster "Frenchy" who said
<<The TF&N magazine is written for the American reader. This is why the editoral staff conceded that the T&F News world rankings differ from the true IAAF ranking to allow American athletes on to the top 10 list.>>
Funny, I don't recall TFN making any such concession. Does anybody else?Comment

Re: Feud's On!
Well I just peeked in there and based on a few comments alone, they are obviously a having a great little tea-party which I haven't been let in on until now. Pretty uptight, smug and condescending bunch. "Hello, hello" [pat on back, petty trans-Atlantic shot, kiss-kiss, on to the next person, repeat]
Nothing whatsoever to do with the prevailing international political climate, of course
They sounded like a bunch of Vancouverites, for whom it is essential to feel superior to Torontonians in order to have a sense of identity. Extrapolate to Canada/US, or California/East Coast, you get the picture....what was it Saul Bellow said, oh yes "California is an artificial limb the rest of the country could do without"
All these ultra-cultured and wise Europeans would do well to brush up on their Greek philosophy, namely Socrates views' on parochialism.Comment

Re: Feud's On!
Dear All
this is my First Post on this forum, I am a member of the IAAF forum and I am right in the Middle of this so called Holywar/third world war as They like to call it over there.
I just had to come here and see why can we not all get along and be friends I am sure that it all got out of hand and a lot of things where said that where not ment and perhaps a lot of pride got in the middle.
I am here to ask for peace on behalf of the IAAF forum and I wich for us to get along and be good mates and to share informations and topics, I hope you all the best for the rest of the season and I hope to hear from you very soon.
Kind regards

Re: Feud's On!
Well when you go back to the IAAF board please point out to them that while there's no shortage of nasty invective on this board, it's certainly not directed at that group of people like one of their posters tried to claim. I believe that her we reserve our trashing of other boards for letsrun and dyestat, and even that hasn't been heard much of late. Search for "IAAF board" on this site and you find things about intersting posts there I suspect.Comment

".... a total degeneration of the discussion to a puerile and in many cases offensive tirade of racist comments" LOLComment
