You're right, moderation and le tour do not go together.
Ye, just been around that clinic forum.
In all fairness. Doping exists, the conversation is there. Would cyclingnews fair better censoring its readers on a public forum discussing a known and prevalent topic?
Tough to call. For me, though I am not a pro rider/team member in any sense and haven't been in their situations, surely I would make sure I spoke to 'the haters' first, kind of like a 'fuck you, keep trying' beat them at their own game kinda thing?And Jimmy,
But no, seriously, I hear what you're saying and its a shame but this is the danger with the public. Conflicting morals.

It's not having the conversation, we have a doping thread here that has an informed and lively discussion, it's the manner of the conversation; sneering, smearing, myopic, mocking, bullying. These are people that desperately want riders to be doping so they can sit on high and judge and laugh at them. The clinic isn't interested in a clean sport, they like it just the way it is.

Forum moderation is probably a topic for discussion elsewhere
However, if your website is running 'The Clinic' don't be surprised if teams stop wanting to talk to you. I'm surprised more teams haven't called them out on it
