Out of curiosity what “big guys” are acting hard?
Being mostly an observer in this “Bigger, Stronger, Leaner” forum it seems as if it is simply a safe haven for “lean guys” to extol their own virtues and compliment those who have the same goals. Which is fine, but many of the leaner guys aren’t worried too much about the Bigger and Stronger part.
Anyone should be able to take a joke, however there is this feeling I get that the joke is more coming in the way thinly veiled insults. Whether its on the interwebz or IRL being insulted is not funny especially when your the target.[/quote]
MXL - (That’s short for Massive XL)
I’m going to guess that “J.Prufrock” is a pretty young guy (or has the a smallworld perspective of one). What the anonymous, pictureless, and ignorable “J.Prufrock” could not possibly understand is that I was literally laughing out loud. Funny is funny. Sometimes, “mean” is funny.
I laugh at myself more than anyone, and anyone who knows me in real life and certainly in my other ‘e-communities’, several who are regulars in this forum, knows that I really don’t take myself too seriously. I certainly don’t take “TN” forums too seriously. I work at my computer from home and the browser is always open, so most of the time I post shit because it happens to be in front of me (should probably change that habit).
And that brings me to what is so sad and disappointing about this forum. That other people spend so much time tearing down other people, especially something as highschoolish as “u r s0 f@t” is just, well, sad.
Guys like Dethlolozoth, obviously an intelligent and accomplished guy (and fellow guitarist) who could offer so much to the forums but just troll. Sad, dude. Det, I would love to talk PL and guitars with you sometime, but shit, man-- tedious. Not that you care what a weak fatboy like me would have to say, but I’m man enough to admit I could learn a few things from a young dude.
I don’t know if it’s just the status quo, but the young #hawtabz dogmatic guys don’t realize that there’s a whole world of big/strong people (and I am far from either one of those) who just don’t care to be at or near contest condition, and don’t care to lift ‘for chix’ (puuhleez don’t reply that that is not the driving factor). They want to go the gym and move as much weight as they can (and do just fine with the ladies).
Wow, I just typed way too much.
