nope i didnt disappear.and i havent been hiding, just busy.let me make this very clear before i even start to say anything else.im not trolling.i did not start this thread because i am just out to have some fun getting under a few peoples skin who i honestly dont even really know.i wrote this thread because it has to do with stuff ive noticed going on in this forum for awhile.im aware of the neilgs, jackedhulk/bigconans, and 51yearold stans out there and im definitely not one of them.i have more of a life than to just sit around and piss people off i dont even know.now that i said that ill move on.
i think its hilarious for some of you to already assume that im a “f’in newbie” or however else some of you put it, saying that im just bitching because i got put down in some other thread.actually that never happened and this thread really has nothing to do with me or a personal issue.its about tolerance.you have no clue how long ive been here, what i have or havent read at tmag, and what i do or dont know.its bullshit that anybody ever even made that an issue in here.i know for a fact that ive actually been here reading this site for longer than some of you that posted a reply.does that make me feel special?do i act like im better than ANY of you becase of it?no and it has absolutley nothing to do with what i was saying.i guarantee theres lots of people here who know three times as much as i do, despite the fact that ive been here awhile.
and the whole popping out taking a punch and running to hide thing.what reason do i have whatsoever to “hide”?oh no is someone going to come get me, kick my ass, put me in my place?are some people not going to be my friend anymore?i dont even know anyone here personally anyway.but on the same token does it really make a difference if you DO know my real name, number, where i live or whatever?what difference does that make on what im saying?what i say has still been said whether you know who i am or not and its still relevant.
im not here looking for respect or because “i just want people to love me and take me seriously too”.i could really give damn about being accepted as a respectable voice in this forum.i use this place to learn.im just saying this because i love this place and i feel like the mental attitude has really gone to shit sometimes.ive learned more here than i ever did in any thing i did in college and i want it to be that way for as many other people as possible also.this thread was supposed to make some people realize that you dont have to be a dick to someone because theyre interested in something youre not.
im sorry the thread i spoke of in the dogg pound was not exactly as i stated it in the first post.i should have had my facts more straight.the point is that the thread talked about some things that might seem pretty minor to some people.it was just an example just like the oatmeal thread is only one example of a lot of other threads that are the same way.i have no interest in that fish oil question or how much money it could cost or save me by understanding that stuff, because its not an issue to me whatsoever.but i think its absolutely fine if someone else finds that important.and really that oatmeal thread had to do with some things that have never been on this board before.it wasnt a dumb newbie question.yet a bunch of vets wanted to weight it down with those kettleball remarks.and i dont see where anyone who was seriously taking a part in that thread was ever “impolite” to someone who knows more than them.nor was there one ounce of constructive criticism that someone just didnt want to listen to.so dont play that card on me.and i could personally really give two fuckin shits about that oatmeal question.maybe some day it will interest me and ill go fuckin around with the search engine like i do about every day and happen back upon that thread and learn something i didnt know before.
to the person who said something about “not saying anything” theres a huge difference with callling someone out for giving misleading or even dangerous information and making fun of someone for their interest in a subject.in fact they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.somebody else said something about just about everything here has been discussed before.okay so lets just shut down the training nutrition section because itd be dumb to talk about that anymore wouldnt it? everythings been talked about.but it looks to me like there is stuff there everyday thats hasnt been there before.yeah theres plenty of the “dude how can i just pack on some serious mass” and “i want to rip up for the girls this summer” and they do get annoying.but im sure going in and thinking up some stupid smartass remark takes more wasted time and effort than just to pass over the thread and keep scrolling down.
im aware of the tmag flavor.i know patricia is the movie freak, ko is the chef, ike is hardcore deadlift guy, goldberg is the westside nut, cake is the weird guy with the quotes and MBE is the timeline master or at least used to be when he was here more, and theres a whole lot more that add their own spice to the mix.but its funny that nowhere in there did i see someone known as just an asshole.i dont think anyone here is truly like that.its just that some people seem to have a huge chip on their shoulder lately.its like theyve run out of things to talk about themselves so they go fuck with others for what theyre saying.im aware of the crazy nature of this board sometimes and i do have a sense of humor.i have flat out laughed out loud and gotten a bunch of weird looks in the computer lab when reading stuff on this board sometimes.thats just people being funny though, not getting kicks by being a prick.
its just a matter of principle and how people treat each other.i never said anything about people having to be all sweet and offer cookies to new people on this fuckin board.but theres a difference between being real forward and being a flatout dickhead.i know theres going to be some saying “oh go sit in the corner and rub your pussy” or something like that.hell some people already have.and thats fine by me if you think this is just whining.those are the kind of people i dont give a fuck to associate with anyway becuase theyre not even getting the point im trying to make here they cant read between the lines.i just think some people have taken this “tmag in your face attitude” thing a bit too far and seem to think that they are the blue tman himself and they need to just shoot everyone in the leg with some harsh criticism.i just hope that i might have made at least ONE person out there think twice before they respond to a newb with someone asshole remark, and maybe even decide to help the guy instead even if its a simple “go use search”.if i did that just got through to one person then i accomplished a little of what i wanted to do with this thread.
when this forum first started it truly was a place where anybody could ask anything with no worries about being labeled a dumbass or made fun of because they asked a question that seemed kind of out of line.about the worst thing anyone was ever going to say was “dammit we already talked about it go use search”.you were just an ignorant, skinny, fat, or weak person one time too who just wanted to learn more, get bigger, lose some fat, or get stronger.remember that.
