Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Heaven help us! You mean you have more that we haven't heard already.
No need to get paranoid. I was just suggesting we afford others a certain level of respect and realise that Freedom of speech also entails a certain level of responsibility and is not just a case of slathering your opinions all over the internet.
Syd with all due respect the discussion that is taking place here in my opinion has been very responsible.
As I chided George I will also challenge you and anyone else here that seems to think that just because some of us have our doubts...and have detailed the specifics of why...are somehow "anti-Dara" or "making accusations" or in the worst case being libelous.
Rather than post such vague statements about how sharing ones opinons or beliefs is somehow on the edge of doing damage....quote the person you think is close or has crossed a line and call them out.
I'll continue to go through my life with a touch of skepticism for anything that seems out of the realm of reality/possiblity...I don't see myself as a negative person for doing so and in the case of Dara was one of the first to say how incredible her swims were....same with Marion, same with Landis, same with Johnson, same with Bonds, etc. etc. etc.
Anyone that wants to be a "cool-aid" drinker and assume that everything in the world is as it seems and all are good that is your choice...but I take offense when as Fort and Bear pointed out my thoughts, opinions and beliefs are threataned by BS threats of lawsuits and possibl damaging someones "legend".
