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.

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.
Stop saying open slather

What’s the deal with people starting threads about pulp tweets about the whiskey throttle show?

I'd like to apologize for Slip's behavior. You see, it's my fault...

We've been hanging out at the track and my bad attitude has apparently rubbed of on him.

My bad.

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.

How about sitting on the sidelines for a while?
Now Guy B, this and your following post are why some feel you are an arrogant prick that is full of his own power. But I know that in person, you are a very intelligent considerate professional, and a decent human being. You go all in on some, and give a pass on others. I've had my own words with Ping. He's very quick to completely disrespect you in a public forum, and NEVER apologize for anything insulting or degrading. But say something he does not agree with or like and he's seriously butthurt. This is why some have little tolerance for him when he goes off. I always called this the "Short man's complex". It's no way to communicate with others. I always say that you should not post what you would not say to their face. And if you do that, then you only risk getting popped. Not that that is an appropriate way of conducting yourself either. You tend to get charged with Battery...

Some of you are acting like you’ve never made a mistake in your life.

Was it the best way for Ping to respond? Nope.
I’m sure GuyB has already talked to him about this whole thing.
But damn guys, people make mistakes. Let it go.

Does anybody else remember a time a few years back when Ping swore he never looked at Vital (when it was still cool to pretend Vital didn't exist)-- or was that too many blunts ago?

2 issues I have with the open slather approach.

1. How dangerous would it be when privateers start injecting themselves with all sorts of shit trying to keep up with the big dogs.

2. Tell me one corporate sponsor that would like to be associated where PED use is deemed acceptable.

The AMA either have to do their own testing or Work with WADA to at least sort out their issues. It’s unacceptable the way Stewart, clason, tickle and Craig all had totally different treatment.

I'm sure people would let it go if he apologized for flying off the handle and calling people unnecessary names when he made the mistake of not reading a comment properly.

Ping wrote stuff that would have gotten him clicked in a minute by Guy B if he wasn't working for him...
Great role model.
Two weights, two measures, as usual.

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?
Sorry but what forum did they say that on?

People say the same shit in person now as they did then, it’s just that the shit they say now can be a lot more public. In 1995 you could say that shit to your group of mates, you could even write an opinion piece with no ability for people to respond in the moment and then the author to defend themselves. It’s not a PC gone mad issue or a PG13 issue it’s a context of the medium issue.

People would say dumb shit and get called out and double down on their dumb shit and pretend it’s the young kids being triggered and they are just no suffering fools or some shit, like Ping did now, back then, and people would chatter about the absurdity of it. But their wouldn’t be a forum of responses.

This is a form of social media and social media means virtually all voices within the space have the same visual value. Social media just means all views are heard even ones you don’t agree with, not that there’s more of either side. In your dads era they just rarely came into contact with the other side so it seemed like they could say anything. Because it would likely only be heard by people that agree with them.

Don't you mean your bad attitude slathered off on him?
Sorry, I had to.

Will Ping survive this? He has 100% made a very grave error in the way he handled his responses to a very Vanilla OG post. Reading his comments to the OG post he from his very first response went in hardcore firing on all cylinders ripping in with the best insults in his repertoire (Lets not forget that Ping gets alot of praise for his intelligent and often sarcastic responses, the guy is not silly) If any Vitard reacted the way he did they would be equally ridiculed eaten up and spat out but like alot of the previous posters have pointed out you Mr Pingree are held to a higher standard than the average Vitard but in my opinion you have acted even worse if that is even possible. I watch/listen to every Whiskey Throttle Show without fail and will continue too no matter what because they really bring in awesome guest but I read the OG post and response from Ping halfway through Carey Hart's set and it definitely changed the way I viewed Ping from there on forward, before I read his abuse and name calling I really thought his interview technique on the show was well thought out and he seemed like a happy decent bloke after reading his name calling abuse responses on Vital shows me there is more than you see on the show I kinda feel let down to be honest. He left RacerX and Keefer has slipped right in there I think most will agree Ping won't be able to get that post back again Keefer is slaying it as expected.

Never missed a whiskey throttle show and I enjoy pings humor and wit. But David came off as a real jerk and showed some of his true colors. Of course Guy B will defend him though. Wouldn’t expect anything less. He looks like a arrogant prick with his responses. Comes off as a power tripping asshole

i have never seen so many grown ass men bitch and complain about some shit that was wrote on a forum, and then have the balls to tell guyb what he should or should not allow of his staff...


news flash! none of yall pay to come on here, and none of yall are entitled to shit and should be grateful of this forum and if you feel other wise there is a nice red box in the corner or instead make your own forum with your own rules

You’re right - we don’t pay to come here.

But us clicking on pages and getting views for banner adds pays the bills and keeps the lights on for GuyB and Ping. If Vital staff members want to be pricks to people, they will eventually leave and the ad revenue will drop.

So in a sense, your eyeballs are your membership payment. Maybe one day they will see that we do in fact pay their bills - and not just a nuisance out in the forums?

And it’s funny that calling some offended is now an excuse to overtly offend?

Maybe it was all a ploy to get people fired up during the holidays to drive site traffic on a day of the year most people are with their families and not on vital.
If so, I think it worked!! Darn you evil vital gods!!

I didnt hear what he said after the initial exchanges but my advice in life to kids is always the same.

1. Always try your best and never try and beat any one person. Just do the best you can, everything and everyone else is out of your control.
2. Treat everything kindly even if they are assholes, they dont owe you anything, dont expect anything. Everyone has good and bad times.
2. WORDS DONT HURT!! WE GOT RID OF THAT SHIT IN THE 90s! Who ever brought it back needs to be offended more. Their offended muscle is weak and needs a workout or some PEDs. 😜
P.s. is 200k a lot for a doctor? Seems about right for the crazy cost. What profession should pay the most?

The words didn't hurt anyone, the issue is an employee coming into work on Christmas day and calling the customers "a cancer", "wanker", and "ignorant shit". It sets a pretty low standard and actually violates the posting rules shown below. Is this how we just accept things nowadays?

"We expect you to maintain at least a reasonable level of civility. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Don’t post things that you wouldn’t say when face-to-face with another person. Name calling, insults, and personal attacks are lame. So is keyboard bravery. We’d like the activity to be more like Bourbon Street at 2:00 AM, not downtown Baghdad at 2:00 AM. Time spent here should be fun for everyone, not a painful experience."
