If Ranger posts stuff that's relevent, pertinent and useful to the discussion and arent non-sequiturs with random attacks on Roy or Mike's past performances thrown in for good measure then his posts won't be seen as the deranged ramblings of an internet troll and may not be deleted.

If they add nothing, then leaving them in place simply serves as bait for the other folks who like to stalk Ranger hurling abuse at him and the whole forum descends towards chaos.

It's much better to keep our favourite, lying, cheating, welching troll contained within this thread.

Paul--

If you socialize here enough on the forum, you night be able to give yourself a new nature, one that the forum thinks is more just than the poor stuff we have been given.

That should help your erging quite a bit.

If you think that justice is truth, it should work out just fine.

The erg isa truth machine.

Dougie is now deleting posts of all sorts.

His decisions don't have anything to do with references to Roy and Mike, etc.

His latest chop was just a careful description of work on effectiveness and efficiency in rowing, interjected into a chaotic, and therefore unhelpful, discussion of the relation between rate and pace in training, contributed largely by a bunch of novices who are themselves still trying to figure out the sport.

Dougie thinks that it would be more just if the people who agree with him about training were better at erging.

Those who don't agree with him, even if they are great at erging, are unjust--criminal.

In his society, they don't deserve to speak.

To speak, you must agree with what Dougie thinks, even though he can't row a lick.

Oh well.

Who cares about truth anyway?

The erg is a just machine.

Since we are all equal, no matter how we train, the results are the same.

We are all winners.

We should all get an "A" for effort.

Leave no child behind!

Even if it is a lie, social promotion makes everyone feel good.

And that's the point of socializing here, no?

To make us feel good?

Dougie--

When is the next book-burning?

Can I join in, too.

The Wolverine Plan and the Interactive Plan might be just the things to help fan the flames.

:D :D

Keep up the good work Doug.

Let the fat nutty pro sweat a bit, always to see puting down a long but utter useless entry and see it deleted :lol:

Dougie

Is there any way we could get him permanently banned from the Internet?

It would be great to get his IP address removed and his computer confiscated.

This forum has certain standards and somebody posting like ranger should have their skin eaten and their erg removed.

We'd need some help from the Israelis (who randomly kill people in unprovoked attacks), Pakistanis (who took YouTube off the net), Chinese (who run their Great Internet Firewall) and from the US the help of the NSA,CIA & FBI.
His ISP doesn't give him a fixed IP address, there's about 40 different addresses from a pool associated with his ID.

1:48 @ 24-26 spm, HR in and around UT2, is great everyday training for a 60s lwt.

Right on my target.

Too bad you aren't doing it! Though as a 50s hwt, it shouldn't be as much of a challenge :lol:

Not really.

No 50s hwt can do 1:48 @ 24 spm, steady state, with a UT2 HR.

It predicts 17.5K for 60min at top-end UT1.

6:12 for 2K.
