For a person that portrays as a professional moto journalist to post false info,made up,or such,is really off the hook.

And to use one of the most powerful teams in his realm as the false info takes it to some other level.

I wonder what kind of turmoil it caused in Barcia's life if he is indeed trying to negotiate a contract with another team.

Does dipshittery run rampant in Australia?

GuyB...is there a line drawn somewhere for industry journos to not cross? Posts like the barcia one are great, when they're slightly believable and come to be true.

But how far off the deep end is "allowed" before getting "blackballed" from the industry? It just seems so far off for a journo in a position to make future predictions to just go off the deep end with one, but really not be held accountable? Is it because Geoff doesn't actually work in the confines of the AMA, so he doesn't have to worry about being snubbed?

We all owe you a bottle of you're favorite liquor. What do you like to sip on after a hard day on the job? Or are you just a beer kind of guy?

"Real" industry insiders that visit message boards are super careful about dropping information that they hear from others, and they certainly don't put it out there as bait for replies. The "real" insiders are always concious of the relationship they have with others in the industry that might be less than happy if what they said in confidence wound up plastered all over a message board.

Geoff is a wannabe...not a real deal.

The guy is a troll with only one job here, to stir up shit.

He is not a journalist by his own admission. Don't be fooled.

My 2 boys love to tease their little sister. They say "I'm going to pop your toes!" and she goes nuts. If she didn't get so whooped up into a frenzy, they would probably just leave her alone.

I get a laugh out of these posts. Mainly because the 2 little sisters get so ruffled up.

DC doesn't post much. When he does, it's quality. But you can always count on him commenting when Geoff starts a goofy thread....with a question, not a fact, a question (stink bait).

Could be,but what should I use there?.

I used to lay the old style rotatory phone "off the hook" when some peckerneck was calling and calling just when I was about to put the move on his girlfriend.

Or,when your stupid ass neighbor is calling and calling to complain about your 12 dogs barking or to many cars on blocks in your yard, I'd lay the phone "off the hook"

Uh,i forgot my point now,I neeed a drik but never before 11:30,24 minutes to go.

My sentiment exactly. I'm glad he is gone but I don't think a timeout will teach him anything. He'll come back just the same as he was.

GuyB......hopefully you lock the door and throw away the fucking key. I get so sick and tired of listening to that guys bullshit. We have enough problems here with all the arguing and debates......and his antics do nothing but cause WWW3 in here. Even his own countrymen think the guys a douche'.....what does that say?

I say....good riddens! Go EABOD's Geoff!

Hahaha!!! really!?! That's not going to make the cover of Shocking Magazine!

Seriously Instead of putting Geoff in timeout maybe the people who can't tell the difference from his casts and reality should be the ones in timeout.

Instead of penalizing 1/2 the members here.......wouldn't you think it more wise to make the joker in the room sit in a time out?

If you guys didn't bite on everything he writes he'd be irrelevant.. Blame yourselves for the monster you created.

A sliding scale for the level of dipshittery in his posts would seem appropriate. This last one, the barcia crap, should be pretty high up there on that level and call for a fairly decent length of time....

The very fact of him admitting freely that he's an attention whore and loves the press he gets here, bad or good ought to tell you that he's not here to contribute.

Or to the validity of his "YS website of the year" If he's willing to just post self created rumors here it makes you wonder how credible the stuff he puts on his website is....

The chances of it coming true are something less than zero.

We're also nowhere near close enough to 4/1 for that level of asshatedness.

If I went onto a GP forum and started posting nonsense about their riders, I'd expect to get clipped. I'm just extending the same courtesy.

Hopefully forever. His only purpose here is to spam his website, piss people off, and to be Luongo's bitch.

Don't count on it, the gaps will be filled with positive fact-filled SX/MX literature. Hmmm Maybe your right. Folks do tend to gravitate toward the Negativity then the Positive.

Ummmmmm...... I am thinking GuyB and ALL mods should get a timeout for not moving that post directly to the dumgeon.

You guys have that power but chose to let the post stand. You are just as culpable as him!
