I'm not idolizing anyone, if that's how you interpreted this thread (replying mainly to Skibum140). On the contrary, I was attempting to point out something that a lot of members may not know; for example, if there's a thread by some random newb talking shit about a professional skier, the chance that the thread was actually started by that skier him- or herself is extrordinarily high.
A good point though as mentioned above, a skier who gets shit-talked regularly in the forums really has every right to come back on NS and get his own kicks in.
