you’re forgetting his second post wherein he basically said “if that’s the development you get from zerchers no thanks” (I’m paraphrasing but will be happy to get the actual quote) to a kid that just zerchered 400lbs (no easy feat). it was an unnecessary swipe and it had absolutely no merit. He later apologized - about 13 pages later. [/quote]
I am pretty sure he just wrote that he read ALL pages of that thread.
I am also wondering how you will now avoid any off color comments about anyone since something like me noticing someone else’s development is so bad.
You see, I did apologize…but here you are…bringing it back up…as if it matters in the first place.
So, we can count on ZERO snide remarks or insults from you to anyone else on the board from here on out…right?[/quote]
You’re crying foul, as if you’re oblivious to WHY people react as they do. The difference between you and I is that I know why I sometimes get the reaction I do. You however, seem to mystified, or even worse, think people are “intimidated” (lol) or jealous of you in some fashion, when in fact, they just don’t like the tone of your posts.
As for me, I’m going to do what I do, when I do it…but you can bet there won’t be a “why is everyone always pickin on me” post from me in reply.
As for “bringing up” your remark in the other thread, it was entirely relevant, because you’re here pretending you were opposed in that thread without just cause. It took you 13 or more pages to acknowledge the foul. And it’s not the first time you’ve hit a foul to that section of the stadium, exact row, bleacher and seat. You’re kinda like Babe Ruth in that regard.[/quote]
What is retarded is grown men acting like they are responding like this because of how “rude” I am…on a site called “testosterone”.
Please, go find these RUDE posts that are so atrocious that they upset the entire forum.
And then tell me how Bonez can have the exact same tone in his posts and NO ONE ever makes a thread about it.
Hey, if you want to pretend you all are doing this as some moral high ground or that my posts are so disruptive, so be it.
However, I am pretty sure most people are starting to see the real deal here.
To everyone else mature enough to not act like this, I’ll be in the bodybuilding forum (or anywhere else on the site I please)…making progress.
Everyone else can stay with the crowd who seems to think my posts are too “rude, crude and socially unacceptable” to be allowed any longer without turning every thread into shit.
Peace, guys. Have fun acting like this.[/quote]
This will be my last reply, because no matter how reasoned my response, you’ll argue for 14 pages (and I will too, to be fair).
You have probably 100s of posts where your TONE grates on people (I’m guilty of the same, lest you think I’m one of those adults attacking poor little old you). So please, do not send us on some errand to find what we both know is there in abundance. No matter what the site is called, the response to you (and I sometimes), is what it is.
No one said your postings are “atrocious” - but you probably would be disappointed if I passed on pointing out you just built the first limb of your strawman.
No two posts have the exact same “tone”, because people, their histories and their likability are not identical. I barely know about Bonez, but I know about you. Like it or not, you’re very divisive in your postings and you love to rant about those “making progress” and those that are not - in other words, the “haves” and the “have nots”. Well, of course you’re going to piss off the “have nots” and you have managed to piss off a good many “haves” as well - because some of us “haves” have a bit more humility about it than you. When I tell some dickhead I can good morning what he can squat - I’m purposefully attacking just HIM. When you make your comments, they are broad and sweeping and catch more than one fish in the net. Oh, and as far as I know, Bonez is white and you’re black and you KNOW that it’s because you black /SARCASM (I think you believe that somewhere in your head by the way).
There is no moral high ground here. And your posts aren’t “disruptive” - no one claimed any such thing and hence, we have another limb in your strawman.
No, more people here ARE seeing the real deal and have been for quite some time - they are calling YOU in YOUR bullshit. Believe me, you’ve gotten a lot of leeway around here over the years because you’re the big guy on a site filled with people that want to be big. But your social currency is almost bankrupt as evidenced by the replies your elicit nowadays.
LOL @ anyone that doesn’t agree with you not being “mature”. There are plenty of people here that think you’re an unmitigated asshole. They think the same of me too. You think they’re just being “immature” and I know I’ve given some people reason to think that time to time. It’s called self-awareness and apparently you lack it. Also, you made another of your grating references to “progress” - as if you’re the only one here making progress. If you disagree with X, you’re immature and probably not making progress.
You quoted “too rude, crude and socially unacceptable” - I don’t think anyone made any such characterization - hello strawman! Oh, and “stay with the crowd” - another naturally (to you) divisive utterance. It’s “us” against “them”. Big v. small. Support me v. disagree with me.
The thing you don’t get is that I could go to the PL forum and give great advice in 9 threads, but if every 10th I dismiss someone that’s disagreeing with me by pointing out he’s not as strong as I am or he’s not making progress, most of the goodwill from the prior 9 threads evaporates. You’re THAT guy.
And really X, you’ve gotten “big” and that’s it. You haven’t won the O, you haven’t won a regional contest, you haven’t won a local contest, and you haven’t even competed. You’ve made “progress”, according to YOUR stated goals and I believe everyone (including me) has acknowledged your progress. But 100s of other guys here too have made “progress” according to THEIR goals. Yet you dismiss them with a waive of your key stroke as if the only worthy goal is to share your goals. Again, a lesson in self-awareness is in order here.
This is NOT strictly a BB site, and if it were, we’d have more members here pointing out that you haven’t even competed. This is a site that has always included strength athletes and those that just want to “look good nekkid” and has now blossomed into a site with many women and other interests (like MMA and such). 90% of the people here will never be North of 225 lean so when you slip into your inevitable size snobbery, you potentially offend 90% of the members here. Awareness. Know your audience.
Now, was I “immature” or attacking you? I think I just wasted 5 minutes to be honest.
