People questioning his statements and claims must've been a little distressing for him; Especially without a small troop of "true believers" handy to howl them down in his defense

There were plenty of supporters here too. I think in the end though, he just didn't generate enough revenue for his time here. That said, he will probably just start posting again under a new username. Key word to watch out for: bananas (obviously), rice, Thailand, obese, 'obese mother', hot (ex?) girlfriend, protein, kilograms of sugar... etc, etc. I'm sure you get the point.HappyHumber wrote:I'd like to think it's because BNA is a little too high brow for him and he's failed to garner an army of slavvish likers or thumb-uppers with shorter attention spans on the likes of FaceAche which just fed his delusions.

If any member should note a new poster along these lines, please let the team know. Lapsed/banned members have to earn the right to return.casual_cyclist wrote:...That said, he will probably just start posting again under a new username...

Whilst the adage "You believe what you want to believe" is true as ever; his arrogant brand of hype did nothing to ingratiate himself as a credible source in my eyes. Just as well most diet discussions bore me pretty quickly anyway. It was kind of fun to see people put the boot into him though from time to time.casual_cyclist wrote:There were plenty of supporters here too.

A couple of his YooChewb vids originally was enough to set off alarm bells in my head.

Living in Adelaide means that I also get to occasionally observe him in person. I can state with confidence that he isn't one of those people whose online and offline personas are different...

I can definitely think of a few adjectives that could be applied to him.Mulger bill wrote: Annoying at any speed?
Let's just say that he is certainly someone who falls in to the category of polarising. And repetitive (power meters, anyone?).

he doesnt have half the following his flesh showing girlfriend has, and when another attractive vegan garners support overnight, he rides on their fame as well (but if you accuse him of this, and aren't vegan yourself, he'll attack you in his vids)
i regularly visit chiang mai myself but wouldn't in a million years ride with his vegan support group posse. honestly i think they're no different to ISIS (very similar acts in the way they speak and act), but of course, because we all eat meat fish and dairy, something man has done for thousands of years, we're the extremists.

i just find it sad that his followers are that gullible and so easily brainwashed as he's managed to brainwash himself.

I suspect that if you did anything that permanent to his bamboo bike it would probably fall apartcasual_cyclist wrote: Get him a "Where's the beef?" bumper sticker and stick it on his bike.

Of course, there would be the proclamation that you wouldn't be able to catch him since you weren't "carb'd up"...
