Sorry to arrive late to this discussion. It seems fidelity to the standards of this forum have degraded over time. Instead of bickering about the current situation it would be more productive to agree upon … say six members to put together an agreed upon set of threads that review proper use and not so proper abuse of steroids and other ergogenic compounds, set up a reminder of the rules, and act as unofficial moderators to maintain fidelity to the rules.
IMHO, this forum should project a level of responsibility. Do not forget that we are conversing about use of powerful compounds here that deserve respect. Projecting a cavalier attitude in these matters serves no one. Also, using these threads as a means of pumping one’s ego only fuels unnecessary controversy.
Again, rather than whining, I suggest forum members choose 6 members to revitalize the original mission of this section. I nominate Bushy. although we have had our differences, he is one of the most intelligent and responsible members of the section albeit imperfect as are we all. I also nominate the OP. Once the leaders are chosen a good place to start might be to make a mission statement.[/quote]
Here’s what the level of respect I was referring to looks like. A very intelligent post, by a very intelligent guy, who has differences with people but settles them like a man and squashes things that others wouldn’t.
This is all I was after, I never chastized anyone, I sent JJ a pm explaining what I had read regarding his thread, but as beebuddy had said there were problems with the system and it never went through.
Look at my first post, it ends with “Respectfully to all”, and rainjerks ended with this:
“There are only 2 other members I would care to hear from on any matter steroid related, the rest of the forum is pretty much an exercise in stupidity.”
I’m not going to link up everyone, the shit I was talking about was the most recent shit I had read about. It just happened to be JJ going on and on about beating the shit out of people with the chemist, on ddtt’s thread about a tren solo run where he started getting toxic sides, and JJ’s other thread where he was on about starting a cycle then not, then back on. That last one had given me the impression that it could lead to noobs taking the whole thing too lightly. It wasn’t my intention to badmouth JJ, I have no problem with him, and find most of his shtick pretty damn funny. The point was what could be inferred by reading that if you’re a noob.
I didn’t say the forum problems were caused by teenagers Kayevy, I said the conduct resembled something teenagers might do. There are many threads that are similar, I just pointed out JJ’s and ddtt’s because I had remembered those specifically at the time I started the thread.
It didn’t matter for shit that we had already talked about it yet rainjack had to talk shit in his way that he does.
He likes to stir up shit, then come back and act like he didn’t say anything of the sort etc.
I didn’t draw first blood with him, he’s been slipping in snippets about me here and there, and increasing his obvious dislike for me through his posts more and more of late. Who wouldn’t get tired of that. I did and that’s that.
So, thank you all for your opinions.
If I offended anyone it wasn’t intentional to any specific person, it was only for bringing the subject matter to attention as it seems it had waned and gotten lost in all the clutter lately. I think we were on to some important things in the first discussion way back when, and I wanted to see who else had intelligent and respectful input on that.
Thanks again pickapeck, and to everyone else who would have had some interesting ideas probably if the thing hadn’t gotten assraped.
