T-Cell Alpha: What's Different?

Looks like tha T-Cell is definitely going to go to shit based on the invite happy members… [/quote]

He has been a member of the site for years. He has bought a shitload of supplements that keep the site going. His complaint was not about the mission of the T-Cell, merely the execution. Too much drama. I agree with that.

Based on his limited post history over the years I do not think he is a troll.

I challenged him to improve the forum by posting quality stuff. Perhaps he will or perhaps he will go back to lurking. It is unlikely he will troll the T-Cell.

I never trolled the T-Cell or any other serious forum, but got booted anyway. Kind of like being in trouble at home for what you did in Vegas…thought that stayed in Vegas.

I still think that ‘profiling’ is NOT in the spirit of true T men. Let someone in, THEN if they cause shit, boot 'em.

You were booted because you asked to be. One guy tribunaled you. If you didn’t say you didn’t want to be in the club you would not have been kicked out.

The guy that tribunaled you gets a raft of shit for it too.

Words spoken in anger should not carry the same weight. I thought they’d all get that. A guy who was booted for stirring shit wouldn’t be angry because part of him knows he was in the wrong. I was angry because I was booted even though I’d never posted. Are you shocked that someone would react to an insult, to being profiled?

Shocking…

FWIW Headhunter, I may not always agree with you, but I didn’t agree with booting you. If you’d started trolling there, I would have personally tribunalled you, but you didn’t.

I know I can’t be the only person who feels this way.

You aren’t. He may have had questionable posts elsewhere, but personal lives should not (ideally) influence training lives and judgment.

I don’t share your sentiment Mak

HH wanted out of the T-Cell and he disparaged the T-Cell

he had his wish granted and was voted out of the T-Cell

and NOW he gets to whine and tell everyone about what a poor innocent victim he was. He’s a happy camper now.

and now you stroke him and tell him he got bullied and you feel bad for him and you will stick up for him

and EVERY thread he can he gets to come in and tell everyone “look at poor me! look at poor me! Forget your topic, let’s talk about me!”

at least when I am an attention whore I show my tits, give a little something back

Most people’s crime it seems it disagreeing with the resident proclaimed masters of the universe here. Hell, there’s one guy who, even when you agree with him spouts a bunch of shit. I’m gonna mention one guy by name and that is what I think the tcell alpha should be about. Big James. I don’t know if he’s still on, and I’m not gonna search, but I found him to always be curteous and helpful and dedicated to his craft.

Seems like we’re all really quick to click to see what a guy or girl looks like and then pass judgement. Wasn’t there an article recently about strength trainer that his picture kinda looked like Barney Fife? I know guys like that also. Appearences mean nothing.

Anyway, if I were in the T-Cell Alpha I might pay closer attention to the criticism and take an objective look. Remember, its bringing up the weaknesses that show improvement. (Memo: I don’t want to be in the T-Cell Alpha. If I read something and have a question I can pm the person. )

Yeah, Headhunter, you whine about it every damn chance you get. “Poor little 'ole me… I didn’t do anything to deserve such treatment, whaaa fucking whaaa…”

Quit acting like a martyr!

My 3 year old nephew cries less than you. All I have to do is tell him suck it up… and he does! Get the fuck over it!

Anyway, you are a member again because Neph invited you back.

Anyone who reads these boards and still comes to the conclusion that women are more irrational than men is an idiot.

From my all of 5 days here i must admit besides the articles or my thread, i only read the T-Cell.

Do i want to be in it ?

God no im only 12 and have ALOT of reading to go yet and what i could contribute many others know already. And i have been getting ALOT of help from some people just on the bodybuilding forum from my thread.

I have been to other parts of the forum, this is my 1st click on “get a life” and this thread caught my interest.

I think the for those not in it the phrase “grass always greener on the otherside” applys. Something i think badkarma was alluding to if i get his meaning.

David i dont think your missing much i mean you can still read the topics and if you can contribute nothing (going on past ct questions) then WHY would you want to be a part of it… Nothing against you or your knowledge but its like say a chess player joining T-Nation forums… good for numbers bad for knowledge sharing if you understand me.

I think as is there may be to many people in it, from what i can see i saw one poster say theres a “tipping point” for people who know stuff and people who dont and right now i think the t-cell is approaching 50/50 so to add anyone who is not knowledgeable would be very detrimental to the whole ethos of the place.

I hope in the future to be somewhat helpfull to T-Nation people but for now im not much use compared to other people. So untill i feel like i can match or surpass their knowledge i’ll shut up and ask questions if i need to.

Someday you will get to that stage to but for now leave the t-cell be and keep reading and lifting weights.

Hope i made some sense.
And hello to all.

I will second the eloquence compliment. Your mother clearly did a very nice job. You express yourself very well and, on first impression, show a high level of maturity.

I envy your early start and wish I had had one myself.

While I disagree with HH and his brand of trolling, I read why he got popped from T-Cell and I understand his anger. What if you were never even considered for a job because you might get pregnant? Or want to be a traditional mom? Didn’t women get excluded from jobs before they even were in there? From what I read, he never posted and strirred no trouble. Wasn’t the whole feminist thing about prejudging people?

Sure, he writes stuff in other forums to piss people off. I read where he started a thread about giving his kid a vibrator, which is why OG has her panties in a wad. Guys would understand it was a joke.
I thought his thread was funny.

Go into the politics forum and argue with him. But bitching about him here is just being a bitch.

Dumbest post all day. Them bitching is being a bitch, but HH bitching…AGAIN…is not?

LOL. Some of you are straight up blind.

He is being bitched about here because he came in here to whine… yet again!

He whines every time this subject comes up.

It’s old.

EDIT:

And for the record, I never had a problem with the guy until now. He just won’t let this topic rest! He’s become a little yippy dog that you just want to kick to shut up.

People get mad and hold grudges for a long time. Maybe pissing the guy off for no good reason wasn’t a good idea?

That tribunal stuff makes me think of a lot of guys who go to a country club every day wanting to kick out those who go once a year. I don’t agree with that. How was the once a year guy bothering them?

no your not. the only one
yes I also dont always argee with HH I have attacked him a few times myself but fair is fair and he does have some good qualities. but still whats done is done and it is proabaly for the best.
I personally dont like how he crys about it still

and back on topic it was supposed to be an self-moderated forum where people say what they want and not be afraid of trols,or other lesser experienced people cluttering up the threads.
it has gotten though where there are too many Chiefs and not enough Warriors and problems do happen because 2 people cant be the 2 biggest kids in the playground and not butt heads.
(wow thats weird huh)
but I find that place is eaiser to find the info you need and it is alot better still in my eyes then the “general public”
not that anyone is better than anyone else its just less clutter overall.

OK, maybe it was wrong to kick him out.

GET OVER IT! Complaining about it at every opportunity is just fucking annoying.
