This is correct–because usually, even if someone is ill mannered, they understand that butting into others conversations uninvitedly, can result in some bad treatment in return, so they stay quiet and don’t interfere with conversations they overhear, or choose to POLITELY join in on the conversation to avoid bad treatment. You know, bad treatment like telling others to f— off or just ignoring them. More hot headed types, who can’t control themselves, might even resort to assault on some wiseass who ruined their time.
And I actually believe that there was a time before Western man was infantalized, feminized, and domesticated, that it would be reasonable for some loudmouth to have a fight on his hands after publicly humiliating or insulting someone else who was minding his business. And a self respecting man might even choose to fight and defend himself, even if he weren’t a swole 290!
And what people fail to realize is that:
- Yes, here are rude people out there, some so rude that they would tell someone else, “You’re fat!”… and MUCH, MUCH worse!
- Generally speaking, rude or not, most people don’t feel the need to watch their p’s and q’s because some guy is a “big guy” or a rich guy or a professional guy or a smart guy or a good looking guy. And why should they?
X has considered some of the most benign behavior as disrespectful. Me asking him to retrieve a post I couldn’t find was considered disrespectful. Me using the word F-word–NOT at him, meaningI didn’t say “F you”, but rather used it in frustration, as in “this f–ing thing”-- was considered disrespectful.
Then he goes on to say that perhaps some of us are unworldly which is surprising because he considered those two actions disrespectful when in this world there are FAR WORSE forms of “disrespect”, and I’m talking about treatment that’s a little bit more severe than asking some guy on a lifting forum to retrieve an old post or tell me his views on cutting and bulking, disrespect we’ve probably seen or received ourselves.

No offense, but you mention me quite a bit for someone who avoids every direct question asked of him and drops names of authors if asked to back anything that is claimed up.
I could see if you actually did carry on respectful debate, but you usually resort to making things up…like when you said that I was claiming that “elite level bodybuilder size” was seen on a person who didn’t lift when I didn’t write that at all.
