None taken. Appreciate you weighing in.[/quote]

i retract my statement.

with the new forum, gregron, zraw, and X haters can post in the “bigger stronger LEANER” forum and X can continue to post in the ““bodybuilding”” forum.

lolz

Yes, I will say it again, to me the guy looks fat and I wouldnt want to look like this ever and chances are woman AND bbers do not find his physique impressive… so why would I give the man some respect in that regard?

He’s also weak, why would I respect him in that regard?[/quote]
He’s weak? Seriously? What are his lifts? I mean, you’re all cut up lean and dry and bodybuilt and shit so I can understand how you would think everyone else is “fat”, but I would be shocked if Prof X was weak. He’s enormous, surely he can’t be that weak. Honestly can anyone prove to me that he’s weak?[/quote]

He’s weak in the traditional bodybuilding movements we’ve seen him perform (see the indigo videos). But I’m sure he’s very strong in his chosen exercises that he uses more regularly.

He probably thinks “Man, Gregron is a level 4, I hope he doesn’t leave the site.”[/quote]

Nah, he worries about more serious issues, like why no one has the courage to point out that supermodel Kate Upton, when you come down to it, is a little bit chubby?

I was tearing through the freezer a little while ago and it occurred to me that it would be great to make burger waffles.

Then like kismet this thread pops up as I was chowing down.

[/quote]

Are we talking eggo waffles here?

And home made patties or pre-made?

You may be on to something here…

And FTR, Kate Upton doesn’t really do it for me either.

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.

[/quote]

… this is exactly why I made that thread… I know you dont mean this in a bad way but I mentionned it about 20 times in that very thread who the “everyone” was aimed at… if those “everyone” had done it there would be no shitstorms no more… You are actually just now suggesting the very same thing I did, just not making a thread about it

They are childish pleas for attention, or at least that is how i see it as an unbiased outsider.

You may view it as such but why would I need attention “brought” to me because of that guy… Im smart enough to know my thread wasnt gonna be unanimous…

If I was looking for attention id just post more on my prep/offseason thread as it only brings positive attention but honestly I was/am having this thread mostly for you guys… why? Well because I sure as hell plan on competing at a national level and figured it would be cool for this site/you guys to have such thread and be able to look back at it someday… but honestly seeing the attitude and missinterpretation of many posters in my “ignore” thread just really put me off. I’m not holding this thread for ME, and if I was having it for a sponsorship it wouldnt be on this website
[/quote]

You are spot on on the first part and yes, i didnt mean it in a bad way. Just telling you how i perceived it.

As to the rest, whether you know it or not, you are a big fish in a small pond, but i think you already know that. This means allot of people read what you post, unlike people like me where half of it just gets skipped over. And perception is reality, so if that many of us interpreted the thread that way, is because you, and most likely unbeknown to you, wrote it that way.

This next part is not directed at you per say but most of us, myself included. We can take, and even ask for criticism about our physical appearance here and welcome all the negative ones so we can use them to get an unbiased view on our weaknesses in order to improve them. Something thinks they have great shoulders, but after hearing 10 people say work on your shoulders they can agree and start to view them as a problem that need to be fixed. BUT the second our web personality or communication skills get the same treatment, everyone becomes so defensive and offended.

Ok, this thread is too much for me now, back to talking about Zombies. [/quote]

I agree with everything above

Anyways I decided to unblock the guy and that whenever I’d see stuff I disagree with would just point it out, stating why, and would not argue any further, as it is completely useless anyways. From there ppl can choose whatever they like to believe/trust whatever

While that is true, she is still completely bangable…IMO…

At the rate they are driving level 4’s away I doubt it.

Strenght, just as physical appearance, is subjective

I dont think im strong either, fwiw

If you want me to make this more clear, I dont think he’s accomplished much in the physical appearance/aesthetic/overall look department and I feel the exact same as far as the strenght part is concerned

Well played sir, well played.

Honestly, if you are really having to mull it over, you should probably leave. Not because of any BS about bringing down the forum, but because you really shouldn’t care so much about a forum. People take this shit way too seriously. I really only go through and seriously read people like CT and Stu anymore. I’ve really just quit caring about the rest.

If you really want, we can both take an extended vacation.

That’s what I was thinking too. Posting here should be for your own enjoyment at the end of the day.

While you do help people you are not carrying out a public service. Stop seeking the approval of others on the forum and do what makes you happy.

There are people who have actively voiced their displeasure with my posting style as well. I don’t care, I plan to continue posting until I no longer get any value out of it

This is basically the point gregron has reached. He shall be missed.

My feeling is that something in his personal life is bothering him and its manifested in the form of this thread.

For most of his posting history his posts have been upbeat, jovial and lighthearted .

To me it’s pretty telling something is really bothering outside this Internet forum.

Let’s see…BONEZ, Waylander, MaruderMeat now Greg… and many others…walked away because of the attitude.

Clearly all their faults tho.

DB lunge off? If you’ve grown tired of the boards, then do what you have to. If you enjoy it, then put him on ignore, start a new log and get back to training. Each of us are responsible for turning this forum around. If X is a huge pothole in your daily commute, then take a different road!

If you’re referring to our special friend, I think MM left due to a bet with Swolle.

Good advice in theory…but when there is 60K potholes all over every forum on the site, it can be difficult to find an alternate route.

All I want to know is, are we talking about eggo waffles and home made burger patties, or pre-made patties?

This thread is hilarious…especially after that piece of crap thread that zraw started earlier where people pretty much said the same thing.

People come here to discuss weight lifting and bodybuilding with like minded people, not to hear some children bitch and complain because they don’t like somebody personally.

All of you need grow the fuck up. If you can’t back up your stance without resulting to personal attacks right off the bat, YOU are the one fucking up the forums.

LOL. For the record, I had a great workout this morning and can see my obliques. That is why I post here. Greggy-poo needs a diaper change.

Please. Don’t you know that if we dare discuss foods not approved by “the posse” all hell will break loose?

Oh, and I just bought some angus steakhouse burgers frozen. They taste great.
