Right. We're the drama queens because Ping lost his shit and went off on people like a 13 year old and took his ball and went home. Got it

Right, cause dragging it on to seek attention isn’t dramatic at all.

9 days from now...

There'll be announcers, live/not so live timing, racers, racing, ticket prices, tracks, tv coverage, weather, and "post race drama" for everyone to post, argue and/or rant/complain about...

Then things will be back to normal.

Heated, lol.
I just watched the Whiskey throttle show and I think people took out of context what was being said. He was asking a question, saying that some people feel this way and is there any validity to it? He certainly didn’t express that as his opinion. Whoever ran with that made a typical leftist move.

This is a non issue, they were simply discussing PEDs and how unfair the process can be. Move on, nothing to see here as far as people should be concerned.. quit being a bunch of girls.

That's what they are talking about, not really the show itself.
Ok I read that thread and i couldn’t agree with him more. What’s the issue with everyone? He was right.

I dont know...totally came over as Ping losing his shit over nothing. I think somebody called an idea ignorant and he personally attacked them and cussed nonstop. Def wasnt the other guys deal.
Looks to me like Pingree posts the same as any other idiot here and then he gets piled on by A bunch of nobodies who want to be involved in something more than being another internet forum participant.

I actually watched the Whiskey Throttle Show that the whole PED discussion happened. Ping didn't say it was his opinion that they should be able to take whatever they wanted, he simply brought it up as a talking point - and this was very clear if you actually watch or listen. I really respect his opinion as it genuinely feels like he is trying to give everyone some 'insider info' and spread light to topics typically not discussed (including the helmet tests).

I'm not being a Ping ass kisser because I fully disagree with how he handled the situation. He came off like he was attacking people in a dickish/ defensive way. I do believe this is him trying to fit into the Vital culture, it just was too far.

Good points, I read the other just now!

Ping brings up an opinion (whether his or not who cares)

The other guy responds with his opinion, “I think it it’s short sighted and retarded, that opinion”

Ping actually jumps on him for stating his opinion and furthering the “conversation”, Ping thinks it’s now not a conversation? The other guy obviously thinks it’s better the way it is right now than not doing anything!

Dear Ping,
When on Vital, never become the thing you hate!

Love,
Kawboy


Now I like Pings opinion (whether it’s his or others I don’t care). Ping is correct! They NEVER caught Lance Armstrong, the guy was cheating every way possible and they couldn’t catch him? That case alone proves the testing is a joke!

Im 32 years old and its funny watching how times have changed. Watching my dads era those guys would say things much worse than what Ping said and would give two shits. Ive been watching all this BS on a few things Ping said that really aren't that bad(unless you can't take shit talk). Were they professional things to say? If you want to be politically correct maybe not. But who the f cares. Do you guys want this forum to be PG13? Are we human? Are we adults? Do you guys want this forum to get real boring because people get offended if certain words are used towards each other?

I think the thread being locked made people laugh and take notice , and that is why 3 more threads came up on the subject ,

I thought at the time Ping locked it , but he is not a moderator on the forum

Agree..

I’m from a different era where you couldn’t hide behind a monitor & keyboard. If you had the nut sack to say something you would. From reading some of the comments posted in these threads I’d venture & say most wouldn’t flap there gums if it was in person...

Making assumptions and jumping to conclusions is a “typical leftist move”?

What is the problem with making it open slather?

How about at what age do we let these athletes go for it open slather?

That Jett Lawrence kid who just turned 16, we giving him the green light to go inject what ever he likes into his body as an athlete, or we going to put a rule in place so only 450 class can run what they like in their body.

Maybe we let the kids adapt so their bodies are used to performance enhancing drugs, why not just start kids in the supermini class pumping in PEDS in an effort to develop their bodies quicker and heal quicker from injury.

Lets make it open slather on all sports and watch the freak show develop over the next ten years!

seriously what could possibly go wrong if all sports said, yep go for it fellas, inject yourself with anything you want. Bet some crazy arse scientists out there could not wait to unleash some pretty hectic shit into people.

I'm loving seeing the Pingree dumpster fire burn on, and let's not forget that he didn't say it was his idea on the show but in the thread he went on to actually say he did have that opinion.

That's scary for an industry person to go on the record saying we should just have open slather whatever drugs you want and no testing.

Anyone who thinks it should be open slather needs help and the scary thing it that industry people like ping are of the opinion we should, i hope like fuck he is never on the board of a governing body.

His reaction was also based on thinking he was being called names when people were referring to the subject in what he was repeating.

You seem to get a great deal of joy out of egging someone on. Sorry if this upsets you, but are you psychiatrically damaged or something?

Who am I egging on? Just the ping nut huggers, Ping deserves everything he gets the arrogant peanut.

After the way he carried on to me calling me everything under the sun I am getting joy out of seeing some Karma..

Maybe I’m misunderstanding it, but it seems to me that you’re taking pleasure in written jabs at/or about someone because you feel it is wrong for them to take written jabs at people.
We’re all human, we disagree and misunderstand each other at times, but that doesn’t mean we have to turn everything into a game of uncle, does it?
