The Ole Cruz files...revisionism bites the dust
"Ole Cruz claimed he was Tomas and he might have taken us all for a ride in that regard".
The old Kettleblack in top form.
We have Tomas' own word (which in most civilised circles is enough to put the onus on the gainsayers to disprove him . . . but maybe that's not how the Yanks do it) and we also have confirmation from the board moderators that it was in fact a Puma test player who was driven away from this board because he quite understandably refused to validate his credentials (who else has ever had to do this?) and he didn't accept a Facebook request . . . oh and of course there's the very credible source of moola's friend of a friend who is some kind of liaison officer at the Chiefs and who claims Tomas' English was poor . . . something that the despicable and hypocritical old windbag Moffie quotes as a reliable "report" that in his little world equates to Tomas' own word as well as the corroborating evidence that the Ed put up . . . but here's old Grima Wormtongue claiming that makes it a 50/50 call while stamping his foot and demanding more proof!
And this artless and witless old buffoon wants us to believe he ran international companies? Pffffffffffffhahahahahahahahahahaha!

Isn't this the same stinking hypocrite who had a go at Sharkbok when he used the word "waist" instead of "waste"? Yet here we have Grima Moffietongue who cannot even spell a simple two-letter word like "to".
LMAO!
Apart from that, his poorly-constructed sentence makes no grammatical sense without some punctuation.
Also, how typical is it that this old fool jumps to the conclusion that I lose all my money on the horses just because I put up a post to pay respects to the great Horse Chestnut who passed away last week ?
I know some people think I'm exaggerating when I talk about what a spiteful, vengeful and childish old hypocrite Moffie is, but one little sentence says so much about this sad and pathetic old loser.
You are breaking our agreement again - calling me names. Your quotation of what I said is absolute BS as it is not provided within the context of the discussions that preceded it. And you completely lost sight of what I said in the very next sentence. Taken into context it means that even if he is not whom he claims to be - he has a remarkable knowledge of the game and he made quality contributions way above what is generally encountered on the site.
However, you find one quote to try and get at me - but you fail to even understand that the rest of my comments all indicate strong support for Ole Cruz. Consequently you are indeed carrying on a discussion in respect of which you have been thoroughly discredited.
Biltongbek too - I see he's gone. Civil, thoughtful fellow.
Remember me, "one" of the lunatics from the RuckersForum?
Suddenly back with your poison, bitch. Do you live in the 1800's. There are dozens of translation programmes on the internet where Spanish can be translated to English in a matter of minutes.
If anyboiy writes a contribution in any other language - it can easily be translated and posted on the site - and stupids like you would not realize it was written in another language.
I am not surprised you are back on the site without making any rugby comments - so bugger-off and leave us in peace to deal with rugby issues of substance - not the rubbish you come up with.
Ole spent some time and energy insisting he was Thomas. When give the opportunity to prove it by pooooie (Very easy t odo - wouldnt take a second!) he declined and went off in a huff.
Poor ou rooitwit doesnt see the difference between a person coming onto a website claiming he is an international rugby players and a person registering here under a board name like rooitwit. I would never think of asking who rooitwit is. If Bakkies Botha made an appearance folk would wonder if it reallywas bakkies. Ou rooitwit appears incapable of seeing the difference.
Sorry it smells fishy but its typical that ou rooitwit and sharkbok (who suck up everything dished) are now insisting that ole was genuine. Bwahahahahhahahahaha.
Forigve us for being global warming denialists because the facst are not supporting these wonky predictions now proven to be hopelessly WRONG. Or because like any sane person I know that evolution is the hoax of the 20 th century as scientists are now saying, or that like any sane person I dismiss the notion that the universe can create itslef from nothing.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HILARIOus STUFF FROM THE BUFFOONS.I SINCERELY HOPE THEY WILL NOT LEAVE THE BAORD GIVEN THEIR IMMENSE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.
By the way ou maaaikie these translation programmes are not perfect.OLE CRUZ AFRAUD UNTIL IT IS PROVEN OTHERWISE. I will not be surprised to find he denies ever psoting on Ruckers. I could be wrong as no absolute proof has been provided either way but I elan on the fraud side fro the reason given.
I appeal to all poster resit the temptation to register here as some rugby great and take in poor rooitwit, sharbokkie and company even if would be sooo funny to see rooitwit fawning over Ricthie Mcaw!!
As for any Rugby player wishing to make an appearance, I wouldn't fawn over them either. It is not in my nature, I have met too many in the past ( and I have known some very famous players well enough to know exactly what they think to people who just want to be associated with them because of who they are ) but I will admit to being highly overawed by some in my youth ! Mainly because I am very shy by nature
Why don't you quote what I really said in that thread amnd stopped at one quote which you misinterpreted totally?
Where did I say you were lying?
RE: Ole Cruz/Tomas
February 05, 2014, 01:51:55
OK - Lets summarise this one
Ole Cruz claimed he was Tomas and he may have taken all of us foir a ride in that regard. However - whenever he made a rugby contribution on this site ut was more insightful than what we generally see on this site.
There is one thing though and it has everything to do with what we try and do on the site and that is to -
* discus rugby-related issues; and
* not use the site for personal attacks on members.
We all go overboard from time to time on the latter issue - but most members talk riugby and not personal issues here. There are however members who use the site purely for personal attacks on other members and here poi-e and ceradyne are typical examples of the filth we have as some members. We all try and poke fun at each other site members - they represents the s[removed] that spread poison without any rugby contribution ever.
That is the type of thing that destroyed the NZ forum and most NZ members have mentioned it before on this site from time to time. We discus the moles that come and do the same thing here = yet we have our own sheisters here as well.
A few years ago one member had the audacity to spread all the personal information on Mozart all over a site and it caused major problems - so lets keep those off the Board and discuss rugby issues.
One last thing - whatever can be said about Ole Cruz - he knows more about rugby than almost all members we have here and it showed in his contributions. That is why I would have liked to see more of those here - and less of the crap ished up by some sheisters we have as members.
I still think that all my contributions would have clarified what I was driving at in this case - but I think it would serve no real purpose to continue with this argument. Cruz is unfortunately gone and there is no way he will come back.
For the rest I agree with you in what you wrote - I think you really summed up the issue comprehensively.
Tomas is educated...father and himself travel and quite frankly if someone with contact in Chiefs says not good...that's just hearsay and perception and bulldust...my wife writes perfect English but struggles a bit to talk...her language of course is Russian, probably the most difficult foreign language of all to read (Cyrillic) and pronounce.
Argentina is very cosmopolitan, even more so today and quite frankly it is insulting to suggest or infer him as a 20 year old native... bad taste.
Anyway here are a few extracts from the posts back in July 2013...his writing is acceptable but not exactly Cambridge or Oxford.
Hi...

Hey guys! Sorry for going MIA (twice in a row now)!
You probably forgot me. I used to be Cruz, from Argentina.
2012 and 2013 have been immense for me in so many ways that it kind of overwhelmed me in the end.
I'm looking forward to debating some more with you lot. I'll have more free time now (moving to NZ soon) so let's hope I can sustain the habit of posting regularly.
Mike
Thanks mate. I am not used to posting in Forums so the habit kind of goes away after a while (short while, I'll admit!). But this time I intend to stick around.
My exams went pretty well! Thanks for asking. I am indeed furthering my career as player. I was called to the U20 squad and had the immense pleasure of playing the JWC, which was a marvellous experience. A massive step for me as I finally faced top notch opposition. I think I did a good job overall, but "good" does not cut it. I now know in depth what areas of my game I need to improve. I'm moving to NZ soon as I have been contracted by a franchise there, with the intention of being groomed for a future competition. It will be quite hard as said team is full of outstanding players, so getting actual game time is a bit far fetched short term. But my main goal is to embrace the special training NZ has to offer, especially with regards to the individual skills the guys there learn from a very young age.
Yep, my Dad spends several months a year in Clifton. I want to drop by and catch a few Stormers games, or maybe WP games. Love 'em.
Indeed, Los Pumas did not do well at all during the tests. But such an outcome was bound to happen if we [removed]yse the situation. 21 of Argentina's best players were forced to skip the international window, since the contract forces them to have a 4 week vacation prior to undertaking the physical preparations in Pensacola. As a direct result, the players called up were third-stringers, with most of them having experienced Vodacom Cup Rugby as the highest echelon in their Rugby careers. The ones that do play in France were in really poor form, and it showed. On the other hand, the English "rookies" had plenty of Premiership experience, so the difference was bound to be notable. Even then, I think some areas of the game ought to have been better. I am very critic of Phelan's tenure and I feel Los Pumas are horribly undercoached. They could do with a Super Rugby coach (which is exactly what is being pursued right now). Some of the names that are being toyed with are: Graham Henry, Jamie Joseph (highly unlikely due to his poor season with the Highlanders), the Waratahs' Michael Cheika (coached Leinster and Stade Francais, where he became really close to several Argie key players and authorities), and John Kirwan. There are some local names in the mix as well, such as Mario Ledesma, and Gonzalo Quesada.

Thanks for the nice words guys!
Whoever wrote that article -- I owe you some money! Hehe.
Bluebok -- thanks mate. Will make sure to share some of my current and future experiences with you guys. There's always something to learn out there.
oimatey -- Thanks! Indeed the Chiefs are massively organised and from a technical point of view, they work like a Swiss watch. I don't think a single day will go down without me having learnt something from these amazingly talented people.
sebastienchabal -- My dream is to represent Argentina. To contribute to the National team, whaever my role may be. I'd be happy to sweep the floors in the changing room if that helped them. Argentina is such a beautiful place. Bariloche, man! Lovely place. Perfect weather, fresh air... lots of asado, wine, and criollos hojaldrados con manteca!
Blobbok -- No worries mate. I refer to myself as an Argie when speaking English. Some people don't like it but that has more to do with the Falklands War than with any sort of personal aggression.
Beeno -- Hehe, you funny man. I've always admired Jake White. Not only is he a technical genius, he has great organisational skills. I love what he did with the Brumbies. Not only did he improve them from a technical and tactical front, but he also made them believe in themselves to carry out their game with vigorous guile and intent.
You can read it on this thread
http://www.ruckersforum.com/forum.cfm?threadid=5380
Thanks SubstantialBull, those extracts sound exactly what I'd expect from an educated and well travelled South American who has English as a second language and who quite clearly used a translator or a dictionary to construct phrases and sentences like: ". . . to carry out their game with vigorous guile and intent" and "I am very critic of Phelan's tenure" or ". . . let's hope I can sustain the habit of posting regulary". Those are all clearly tranlated or else grammatically incorrect.
Not sure what the standard of English is like in the dusty little hick town that moolaa lives in if he thinks that's perfect English!
Even if Cruz's English is iffy - there is no way that he cannot write his contributions in Spanish and use a computer translation to English to assist him.
The other issue is that he knew Cape Town well enough to mention that his dad has a house in Clifton. A person from Argentina without good knowledge of Cape Town would not necessarily know about Clifton as a suburb of Cape Town.
LMAO!
As I said earlier on this thread, if it is someone just pretending to be him then he's gone to an almost unbelievable amount of effort and research.
If it is some impostor then he can't have much of a life . . . but he was a top class rugby poster.
Lets particularly look at the last sentence...." if it is some kind of imposter then he can't have much of a life". A contingent statement to be sure, but a damning one. And then the part that tells you which way the contingency is slanted....." but he was a. top class rugby poster"
Clearly the AAs thought he was an imposter
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!
The noun referring to one who takes an assumed identity in order to deceive is variously spelled imposter and impostor. Impostor has the edge, and it is the form recommended by most English reference sources, but imposter is not wrong. Not only is it nearly as common as impostor, but it is also nearly as old. Impostor came to English from the French imposteur in the late 16th century,1 and imposterfirst appeared almost immediately thereafter.2 And though the -or spelling has always been more common, imposter has always been present to some degree.
RelatedAdapter vs. adaptor
Adviser vs. advisor
In fact, imposter is more common than impostor in some areas of English. In a search covering a few dozen of the most popular blogs in the English-speaking world, for instance, the ratio of imposter to impostor is about 6:5. Imposter is also a little more common than impostor in 21st-century Australian and New Zealand news publications that make content available online. The two forms are neck and neck in British and American news publications from this century. Meanwhile, in a Google Books search—which covers millions books, journals, and magazines—limited to 2000 to the present, impostor remains about three times more common than imposter.
If you came here looking for a simple answer, go with impostor, but only because that’s the spelling you’ll find recommended in dictionaries, usage guides, and such, which makes it the safer choice.
And this might be game, set and match for the pedantic gnome. This is how I picture the AAS sloping off the site after this latest humiliation....imposter indeed!
Chambers dictionary doesn't recognise the word "imposter" as a word or as an alternative to "impostor".
You Yanks and Kiwis can quote whatever online dictionaries you like and demand your right to use words like "imposter", "color" and "tonite" but most people know those have been dumbed down for stupid people like Yanks (didn't know Kiwis as well but I'm starting to get the distinct impression that moolaa is from some godforsaken little rural hamlet somewhere in the the New Zealand wastelands) who no longer use proper English and are too stupid to even realise it.
Chambers is good enough for me. "Imposter" may be a Yank word but it's not an English one. Case closed.
