    You're thinking of a different race than the OP was thinking about. I was confused, too, because I remembered the Women's race you're referring to and I remember being confused by the announcer missing the obvious bump of the skates. But the OP is talking about the Men's 5000m relay.

    Yes, but this is hardly worth complaining about when it was a very close call and when in another race (Women's 3000m relay) the judges gave a close call to China and allowed them to win gold over South Korea. So it's much less evidence of any kind of bias and more an instance of a judgment call going against where you thought it should.

    I think people are more excited when they fail to answer a question. It's all about watching the other guy fail and not get the money

    Of course this particular failure isn't real.

    You are making an illogical argument based on a faulty premise. Therefore, the comment that you made in the first post is unsubstantiated. Not to say that you can't make an unsubstantiated comment (since it is a free country and the internet is not yet completely regulated), but an unsubstantiated comment nonetheless.

    In the context of your post -- what does 'unsubstantiated' mean ?

    In layman terms, you said that I doctored the photos I posted on this forum with no evidence to support your claims.

    In response, I suggested you to look at the video from which the photos were from as evidence that I did not doctor them.

    Were there people asking why this thread was opened here in D & D, instead of Hangout? LOL. Is this going to surprise anyone that it would end up here anyways, with the usual flag-waving oral-democratic-fighter gang posting the same garbage in every single thread with the word "China"? Keep it going, it's always entertaining.

    Listen, you ass... this thread should have been posted in Hangout. If it had, then maybe, just maybe, that political post might not have appeared.

    KC, more to the point regarding his "righteous indignation" claiming his "integrity" had been assaulted, you never said that he doctored it himself. You simply said it was doctored. He took it upon himself to wail about being accused of some dastardly internet hoax. If his skin were any thinner, you could see right through him, and if his ego were any larger, his head might explode.

    Actually you know what, let me double post too since the two people before me are doing it.

    That's because he screencapped those pictures himself, as he said so on page 1. So naturally he took the accusation as directed at him.

    The namedropping is enough awkwardness as it is. The total neglect in the rest of the post is just too much.

    If you try to think a little deeper, he obviously is offended because he is accused of posting/using a doctored picture. I think he knows, you know, I know and everyone knows he is not the one who doctored the picture. Anyway, IMHO, this photoshopping debate does not deserve any serious reply. But since you are that serious in your reply, I tried my best to be serious in mine too.

    I would like to confirm that KingCheetah is an established troll. He has been intentionally tormenting me and my threads for a long time. :( It is not just Chinese posters he goes after, since as far as I know I am not Chinese. Though my hair is kind like Chinese in color and quality.

    You know what, Cheetah -- so what?

    I dress nicely.
    I smile.
    I am handsome for my age.
    My phone is much, much larger than yours.
    And... I lied about my hair on the internet, fine.

    Just deal with it. :mad: I should put you on ignore like my new friends in this thread say.
