It’s good to call people out on BS. We should encourage spreading the truth, rather than just let everyone’s egos run unchecked for their own enjoyment.

You seem like a decently interesting/successful bro so I’d appreciate it if you had a log + posted more useful stuff on bb and lifting, instead of just posting mostly X callouts and GAL stuff. It’s the internetz though so do what you want to do, it’s not like any of us owe anything to each other
maybe everyone in the bb forums will make tons of progress and it’ll become a glorious NPC competitor debate/information spot or maybe they’ll stay the O Reilly Factor of bb board and in 10 years Prof X will still be typing YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN THAT

I don’t do either but I’m sure I could FS more than him lol.

But that’s not really what this is about. Just trying to see what people think.

Good post.

I posted a lot more like that back in the day. Before my wife and I had our kid I was pretty consistent with my logs (I think I had 3 of them?) but fell off posting much after that and when I was in ye fore academy. Never got back into logging.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Stay.

So much negativity going around T-Nation these days. I wish Gym Jesus (Stefanogym) would make an appearance and set everyone back on the path to righteousness…

I’ve only been on the forums as a poster for a month, if that, and haven’t been a visitor to the site for very long at all, however I think you should weigh your options.

If I were to take the whole Swolle and MarauderMeat fiasco as reference, to leave the community and halt your contributions in full solely based on differing opinions with a singular user might be regrettable in retrospect. I wasn’t there to receive it, but I saw the advice Meat would give to people in the forums, and guide them on their journey to being stronger, bigger, more successful in the weight room etc. and it saddened me to see him go because I could see his contributions were worthy of merit, and so could everyone else.

While we may have to wade through piles of shit-talk every now and again, if the advice is in there somewhere and somebody can build from it, is the discussion not worth it?

Having an approach to a topic from different angles is healthy, it’s the corner-stone to every question. Sometimes the debate can become heated, but that’s where the real issue lies, in not letting a debate become an argument. Both sides have their constructive advice and to let those diminish by taking offense to the opposition would only serve to ground the situation and stop the conversation from progressing.

If you are fed up of the forums, and those interactions stress you and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth regardless of everything else, then go.

But if that’s not the case, and you enjoy the community and what the people here have to offer, then your time may be better served parleying with X, and coming to an objective agreement, to not let your subjective stand in the way, then (as naive as this sounds) maybe you could begin anew, take an open-mind to him and for him to do so in return, while there may still be bad blood, to keep it behind bars for the sake of helping others and being part of a group of like-minded people that accept and enjoy the things you may have to say. If you find that being an option for you, or you’re willing to compromise at all and get him to agree to compromise in return, then you should stay.

If you’re going to determine your self-worth through professor X’s opinion of you then go.

I enjoyed conversing with the gregron from 2010. What the hell happened?

31

The funny part is if you guys (the people who hate his posting style that is) all universally stopped responding to him he’d eventually get bored and probably stop posting on his own. Or at the very least not post as often

32

Challenge the big thin man to chin-ups to failure, the looser goes.
I pay a beer to the winner !

I’m not determining my self worth based on any online interactions. This was to see if others here felt the same way. Sometimes it’s difficult to look at things objectively without some outside opinions ya know?

Man, TBH, I’m not sure what happened. I think I got tired of his antics and decided to not let it slide anymore. That kinda dragged me down I think and when I used to stay out of the mud slinging in the past, over the past few months I’ve started slinging back.

I think it might just be time to hang em up.

35

You should stay, but put X on ignore.

And everyone (including myself) should realize you can’t debate X with sound logic and reason, he just doesn’t respond to it.

36

Dude greg, stay.

37

Gregron, stay, but grow the fuck up. I like both your posts and professors’ posts, but those long drawn out arguments that don’t even have a point anymore I hate to see. I think it makes T-Nation look worse, and prevents as much useful information from all posters involved. I hope you stay, and keep posting more BBing related information along with ignoring the professor completely if you can’t avoid the stupid arguments.

What is so wrong with asking if what someone says about the majorities opinion is true or not?

It’s not looking for approval, it’s asking for opinions.

Like I said to Raj, sometimes it’s difficult to look at a situation objectively without outside opinions.

I enjoy you, I would not be happy if you left. I do not enjoy your childish back and forth with X where you make yourself look as bad as the criteria you judge him on. My vote is you and X ignore eachother since neither of you wants to be the bigger man and just drop it.

I like you and Zraw as posters, and think you both contribute much more to the forums than I do, but i didnt like his post about getting everyone to ignore X and i dont like this post. They are childish pleas for attention, or at least that is how i see it as an unbiased outsider. I happen to like Prof X overall and just choose to ignore his eccentricities and dont get why you and others cant and have to resort to immature nonsense to ‘win’ over the internet.

Please stay, and please dont take offense to my next statement, grow up. You and X.

Agree with this - I come here to learn, contribute when I can. I have learned from both of you, BUT the constant pissing matches (not just yours) are getting old on the site.

Stay

Bwahahahaahaha!

Fuck me! OESTROGEN NATION!

Grow the fuck up and start acting like a motherfucking man. It’s the fucking internet. Prof X told you that you bring the forum down. So what? Now you wanna quit??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I guess going back and forth with him in the kitchen has taken a toll on you, and now you want out since you can’t stand the heat. Hahahahahaha!

‘‘IGNORE’’ option is there. Fucking use it. You will no longer have to endure the sight on his posts and, for once, you will stop fucking whining about him.
