Word. Especially since it is so easy to just ignore the detractors.
People who are easily flusterd by words written on the internet aren’t usually even worth having a discussion with anyway.
No loss.
He at least had some experience, actual results at a young age and could make useful contributions.
The same can’t be said about you.
But you see, the flaw in your logic is that there is no problem talking about the science of BB even though I don’t specifically BB. Weightlifting is weightlifting and it can all be applied in some way shape or form to other styles, etc. I have been doing this for nearly 25 years and I would have surely given up already had I not seen any results.
Apply the same logic you use to other subjects such as drug use, etc. Nothing would ever be known about these subjects if it was only to for the users to discuss. All knowledge has a logical basis that can be rationally explored. That is all I seek here.
These threads provide some useful information for us non-BBers and I would hope that none would attempt to shoo us away or speak ill of us who wish to participate in the discussion.
Frankly, I don’t care what anyone else might think about my opinions, etc. I am not going away.

I do not usually respond to purposefully disrespectful posts but I have no problem trying to clarify my ideas or reiterate. Whether you agree with me or not is not really under my control…therefore it is of no use for me to care. Is that clear enough.
Not quite true. Without theory there is no basis for action. A noob who enters the gym can flail in the squat rack all he wants but with out at least a simple theory to go on he cannot do anything more than flail away. The point of talking theory is that it gives the experimenter something to shoot for. This is the internet after all, and therefore no action even happens here – just theory.

So what!? I have never tried to argue that point and this is nothing more than a strawman.
Just for the record, I have never come in here and disrespected anyone for any reason nor have I purposely tried to bring down the level of discussion.
You are free to ignore me too.
