Well plushenko had the better career overall especially in terms of length but Yagudin beat him head-to-head for Olympic gold in Salt Lake City in 2002 and he beat plushenko for a couple of world gold medals as well. Nothing changes that even all the sketchy and sometimes hateful and hurtful comments Alexei has said over the years. I hope he has finally learned his lesson to analyze the skating not, comment hatefully or hurtfully.Harsh of true? I think you can find whatever it is you're looking for on ANY message board. I prefer to usually stay in threads that are positive, informative, and sometimes fun. I only came into this one because Alexei used to be one of my favorite skaters - operative words USED TO BE. But I think that when a thread reaches a certain number of pages and it ceases to be informative, then it oozes into contention among the posters. I'm not sure what they're looking for or what their expectations are by continuing to rehash. I don't find Golden Skate to be a verbal den of iniquity. If someone feels that way then choose another place to hang out. Alexei needs to be dealt with for sure. Who that responsibility falls to will be interesting. But as I said before, if you want to contribute to that - write letters!! Let the people that have the power to deal with him know what skating fans are thinking. On the same note, I dont' think it's the responsibility of past or present figure skaters to lead that charge. Most of them right now are trying to salvage whatever they can out of whatever this season is going to be. Their job is to skate!!
p.s. I don't find it surprising at all that Plushenko agreed with Adam. There has never been any love lost between him and Yagudin. EVER.
Interesting point. But you know the deal. Social media is like this as well.The censorship and moderation on this entire forum makes no sense to me. How is this place so heavily moderated yet way more argumentative and angry than any other forum? The moderators pick and choose which posts fall under the category of "off topic". If your're going to delete my posts why not Skatesosc? Double standard is unreal.
