Here we go again. Heavythrower, this post was not directed at you. I just don’t know why people get so offended and create a whole topic on this issue. My point is that people are too sensitive some times. I do agree about it not being right to hijack a thread just because you don’t like it and you won’t ever find me doing it. Also, I don’t know where you are going with the redneck comment. I’m from the deep south and I never called you “stupid.”
heavy - you are an old fat dumb half-cuban redneck. But if that’s you, then I’m a young, thick dumb half-colombian hoosier (it’s missouri talk for white trash) See, there’s no validity in it.
But you have a nice back though 
Hope the MMA is going well for you, as it is kicking my ass.
I only got offended one time on this forum because someone called me something that was totally inappropriate considering what he was talking about. It really pissed me off, because I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, just give out info, and I was called a cynical malicious bastard, or something like that. It was totally uncalled for and unnecessary. Jared called me a homosexual brown-noser, but he knows I want his ass 
Now, I don’t consider myself a forum vet, at all. I’ve been on here for about 8 or 9 months or so. I’ve learned so fucking much, it’s been ridiculous. When I first encountered Testosterone products, I emailed TC a question. He was polite enough to send me a response and direct me in the right direction. The following week, an article came out about getting all the same emails all the time “how do I gain mass” “how do I lose fat” etc. I completely felt that article was directed at me, and I was ashamed that I asked that question. After that, I’ve never asked a question without doing prior research. That’s all the vets ask for. Do some research before you ask a question. It seems that there is a new chest thread weekly, a new leg thread weekly, etc. This is all from newbies. They can just go to the back articles and find all of this stuff, and voila, ask about a SPECIFIC program, and you can get answers more likely than flames.
I apologize for the long post.
Hey, don’t flame the newbies. Just flame me “fitone”.
JWright - I’ve had you and I don’t want to go back there.
Hope this helps!
I bet there are people who read these forums that have a lot more knowledge, experience, and athletic accomplishments than the “forum vets” but don’t feel the need to post at least once every hour they are awake, every day of the week.
"Hey, don’t flame the newbies. Just flame me “fitone”. "
LOL,
Good one Fitone.
fitone, you are just asking for some serious shit-slangin fun.
Fucking Babies.
This is just me but…
How can anyone who spends any serious amount of time lurking possibly not pick up on the regulars “flavour”? I mean lets face it, Goldberg is going to react in a certain way when someone posts as whiny, stupid or lazy post (even worse when someone posts a “Triple Crown” doozie). Sometimes he is out of line, sometimes he is right but he is consistent and always true to his character. Should you expect anything else? And if you think you should, why would you think that you deserve to?
Jared (Not From Fucking Subway) is gonna crack wise. It’s what he does. Likewise, Patricia is going to be helpful, Doc T is going to be sarcastic and Restless is going to blame the U.S.
Timmy P is too busy micromanaging his class-action lawsuit he brought against the makers of “So-Real Sally” for wrongful disclosure of Latex content to post much but when he does you can expect him to use short, choppy strokes in his composition as bad habits are hard to break.
This is the electronic version of a cocktail party, if you do not like the vibe in the kitchen, try the den, I think that Charles and Ed are talking about Golf, you may like that better.
Of course if Ed tries to show you his “Appendectomy scar” politely decline.

MD, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD MY FRIEND.
that is the point i am getting to. no, i may not me “lean” by anyones standards, but i have quite a bit of training and competition experience under my belt, but i still ask questions, and do not feel the need to insult or make fun of people when they start topics i consider stupid. there is on on the off topic forum that i feel is TOTALLY inappropriate, but i simply stay the hell out of it.
by the way MD, have you started throwing again?
Jason, your point is well taken, sorry if i sounded defensive. nuff said.
JW, MMA IS THE SHIT. the other day i had a guy i outweighed by 60lbs make me his “bitch” for about 20 minutes. my boy has a pic of me puking in a 5 gallon bucket after my first day, LOL!

Your point being…what?
Cupcake, I may contemplate changing my handle to Jared NFF’nS.
"Jared (Not From Fucking Subway) is gonna crack wise. It’s what he does. Likewise, Patricia is going to be helpful, Doc T is going to be sarcastic and Restless is going to blame the U.S. "
LOL, damn right. It’s all you empirialistic war mongers fault.
I love you all…haha
I’m a newbie and have posted some dumb questions already (on the westside thread no less), so I think that qualifies me to add my $.02
Some folks really need to get a sense of humour, I know this has been said before but it bears repeating. If you really think someone is being mean spirited, check out some of their former posts before jumping to conclusions.
(oh and Goldberg, I just know you’re gonna nail that 699.7 squat two weeks from Saturday haha)
Jeez, Cupcake! Why do you always gotta make so fucking much SENSE???!!!
We ain’t looking for a cure for cancer here people. A lot of you guys take this stuff way too seriously. How about this, unplug your computer and go outside and see what you’re missing.
I can see where he is coming from, I am also a newbie so to speak although I could kick all of your asses in a race or in golf that doesn’t matter to anyone. I posted a question before about GI and the effects of chewing food and nobody really had anything to say other than just chew your food idiot youll get indigestion. No discussions ensued, nobody pointing me to a prior discussion or an article done by t-mag. Not even another reference to any article. I run into the same thing at the private golf course I just joined this year. I am a new member and you would think that people would go out of their way to be nice to you and pleasant and even if you do something that’s not accepted or make a mistake or foget a rule or something that they would poleitely tell you thats not how things are done here or something. Now most of the members there are nice and polite, however I have ran into a few people who basically popped a vein in their head over some pretty trivial shit, the kinda stuff you would expect a new member to screw up on. It really pissed me off because I didn’t feel it was my place to argue with these people or make shrewd comments about the size of their balls so instead I just shook it off and wrote these people off as assholes who would not be my friends unless they did some major cool shit for me or someone else that would lead me to believe that they are good people. So sorry for the run-on post here but be gentle to newbies as most of them may not be able to take full ball breaking and sarcasm yet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be able to once they become more familiar with the forums.
Excellent points, cakeman…
anyone else ever think that anon03 could be NeilG? Did he get banned?
It’s pretty simple, if you get flamed and you don’t think it was warranted, verbally defend yourself. Many newbies seem to feel entitled to immediate respect and acceptance. But just like the real world you gotta earn any respect you get, no one is gonna just hand it over to you.
