and I am not a troll!

although i may have just been caught by one... have i been trolled?
my intent was not to get a rise, but make jest of the potential content of the olympic-they-won't-let-me-post-my-training-diary-a thlete. no ill intent was directed toward the folks who have obviously have a lot of focus. i just think it's funny that people are crying foul over the temporary ban(up till aug 29) of posting content, when most of these people would be bored to tears reading it. oh the irony...
that's all I wanted to convey. apologies for any offense taken.

Participants in the games may respond to written questions from reporters or participate in online chat sessions -- akin to a face-to-face or telephone interview -- but they may not post journals or online diaries, blogs in Internet parlance, until the Games end August 29.
while it is ridiculous to ban blogging, are we really missing out? I mean, the people that get to these games are so self-absorbed, what exactly are they doing for society anyway? just because they can run doesn't make them interesting. could be that that IOC is doing the world a favor by preventing these narcissistic sissies from belabouring the world with more self-indulgent crap.
there. i said it. and i'm not bitter about not being in the olympics.
