Please Dont Help Me!

*OH MY GOD. my diet sucks, my training sucks, my job sucks, i drink and do drugs, i committ crimes daily, constantly…everything that could possibly be wrong is. but please T-Nation readers, DONT HELP ME.

Instead of helping me, please waste your time (which makes you look like an idiot and an asshole), and post a reply that other than taking up some space and putting your T-Nation login in the front of peoples minds for a brief second, serves no purpose other than to annoy and start internet pissing matches. PLEASE DO THIS INSTEAD OF HELPING!

in addition to the above problems, i cant remember what 2+2 equals. but, instead of offering me up some kind of valid answer of 4 or so, whatever it may be, please do either of the following:

a) tell me to go read a math book, because somewhere someone has asked that question before, and the answer is in a book, or,

b) make racial, sexual, religious, or any other kinds of remarks that have an offensive edge on them. otherwise, youd simply be answering my questions or offering me some kind of help, which would be exactly what i was asking for, and i dont really know why, but that just wouldnt be right.

in conclusion, it seems appropriate to sign off with telling all who dont care to actually answer questions, but instead clutter up someones thread with bullshit, to GET A LIFE!

*just making a point.

2 plus 2 equals 4. Hope this helps.

No, because it was sarcastic and childish. Therefore, even if you did have a valid point, you will not be taken seriously.

Do you really think that any of us need to be reminded that there are trolls here? Get over it. If you post a genuine, thoughtful question, chances are you will get genuine, thoughtful responses.

In my experience with T-Nation, the level of bullshit responses is directly proportional to the bullshit content of the original post. Go figure.

I love this site. It changed my life, and while it is not perfect, this kind of shit only makes it less so.

dez, bud, it sounds like you are a little bitter and have some issues you need to work on. Need to talk, I am here.

I have to state, there IS a such thing as a stupid question, and if one is posted, it will get stupid answers. That is the way it is. And just as people will post questions without thinking for themselves first, people will post answers without thinking them out.

There is nothing wrong with this type of response. If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish… No one want’s to learn how to fish anymore.

As far as the rest of your rant goes, if someone really has all those problems, then they need counseling/mediciation/whatever. Life problems like that are beyond the scope of this or any Internet forum.

Sometimes people need to be teased. Shame is a good teacher. I mean, what do you say to the 6’, 135 lb. 16-year old who comes on here and complains that he can’t gain weight? The kinder, gentler T-Nation citizens would politely tell him to eat and start doing ABBH I. But this kid is just asking to be made fun off, so I can see how some of those with a cruel streak would have a field day. By making fun of him, the message he should be getting is “Maybe I should read some articles before asking stupid questions.” I would adopt a middle ground - in addition to telling him to eat and do ABBH, I’d tell him to stop being a moron.

Oh, BTW - stop being a moron.

Dez, are you new here?

If you give a man a fire, he’ll be warm for a while. If you set a man on fire, he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

You need serious help.

I think you a nice person on the inside. And until you sort things out you need to stay inside.

Did you go off your clozapine?

I think he could have made his point better with out all the drama. But I appreciate his point of view. I think embarrassment breeds insecurity not a positive education. Over all I think most people are pretty cool but I have heard people become real idiots, angry with no reason. saying that they have better things to do than post on the internet.

To the OP.

Dude, use the search engine already, your questions have already been answered about a million times…

[counter rant]
Maybe there should be a new forum called “PLEASE DON’T WASTE OUR FUCKING TIME” so people won’t ask so many questions they could figure out with a moments thought or effort.
[/counter rant]

Well, every weight lifting question has been asked a million times over again. Why not lock ALL internet forums and just let ppl search the archives?

It sounds like you are beyond help anyway so I dont think that anyone is going to waste too much time (only enough for a couple of posts) on you.

I like cheese.

I’ve seen more helpful threads than the annoying, pissing matches you speak of.

I think it all depends on how the original poster comes off and states his question.

If it’s obvious that the OP didn’t even try to read anything on the thread, and the question is stated as if he already knows he is right and he’s just looking for people to agree with him, then yes, he usually doesn’t get what he’s looking for.

I would have said “his/her” or “he/she” but we all know the ladies, ahem, I mean Vixens, are treated better around here than the guys (maybe because they make more mature posts and are generally cooler).

actually the reason i posted this “rant” was because i posted in the nutrition forum about the anabolic diet. i explained in that post that i had read some stuff about it, and found some basic stuff such as 65/30/5 macro ratios and that a 200lb male would take in approx 3600kcals and such. i then said that i wanted to start the diet, and asked if anyone could give me the basics or set me straight/however you want to say it, about what i had read/digested…just to get me started for a week or so as i tracked down my own copy of the diet.

the first response i got was "go read the thread “my experience on the anabolic diet”…a thread that could prove quite helpful, if it werent for that fact that it had been going on for over a year, had over 2100 replies, spread over 85+ pages, a good portion of which is “hey man good job” and crap like that. i personally dont have the time, or the retinas to sit in front of a computer and read through all of that. and i did read several pages of it. and thats where it all started. my point was, i asked for basics. if someone knew the basics, they could have just responded with that. i wasnt asking anyone to plan out my meals for me. if none of the people that looked at my original post knew “the basics” they could have simply not posted. its fucking ridiculous that people cant just answer questions, or not- they have to be hardasses. its like “T-Nation” is some exclusive club for hardasses.

and yea, i made this original post dramatic and all to prove a point and thanks to everyone it was made. pretty much everyone replied with a “negative” remark, when, if they didnt like what i had to say, could have simply said nothing and let my thread die. in a matter of hours it wouldnt have been on the front page of this forum. instead people HAVE to jump in and say something. by like the 14th person to reply, after everyone before has made some “youre gay” or go cry somewhere else you 130lb pussy kinda remark, is the 14th necessary? are people on here such puppets in their real lives that they need to relieve their tension by doing that? jesus, go to the gym, get laid, do something with yourselves.

as for the * part, i thought i made that clear that i was just making a point. my diet does kinda suck, my training is usually good, i dont do drugs, i drink very rarely, my job pays really well right now, school sucks, i dont committ crimes, etc, etc.

take a minute people. count your 10.
