    Oakley...really?

    There was an interesting interview on CBC radio's program "Q" with Betsy Andreu. She talked about getting all kinds of threatening phone calls. She played a message left on her answering machine left by LA's gopher at Oakley.
    "I hope someone breaks a baseball bat over your head".
    LA set a fine example for his sycophants.

    Did LA specifically instruct the Oakley employee to do this?

    Yeah, I had some dingbat start slinging insults at me on FB because I posted to a review of Hamilton's book. His army of sycophants is highly motivated, but has been shrinking of late...

    Didn't someone in this forum wish eternal damnation to LA?

    If it is any consolation, neither Lance nor I believe in "eternal damnation."

    Do you really think this is similar to the threats of violence Betsy received on her home phone?

    Did the Oakley dingbat actually threaten her? Maybe harassed at best. He didn't say he would do it. I wish I could slam into the car cutting me off on the road, but that doesn't mean I have threatened him in any way. Even if he hears that I wish someone would plow into his car, doesn't make it me threatening him or his car.
    Cyclists really need to learn a little Rule #5.
