Man, this thread is hilarious. No one gets east coast old school humor anymore. Everyone with their panties in a bunch over BG just fucking with people. I don’t know him, but I’ve known men like him: tough as nails and just as quick to take a bullet for a friend as they are to bust his chops. His old school nature is what disturbs you. If someone here (or anywhere) were talking shit and said, “meet me at so-and-so place” HE WOULD SHOW UP. Not a whole lot of “internet tough guys” would show up, and therein lies the difference.
As for what went on in the Broken thread, he was just fucking with the OP at first. (who WAS acting like kind of a pussy over breaking up with his GF telling everyone he’d go to their fucking door and hunt them down if they clowned on his thread. I have to admit, my FIRST reaction was the SAME as BG’s - that little voice in my head went off saying, “what the fuck is HE gonna do about it?”. Then my “higher self” kicked in and I decided to contribute something that was on MY mind. BG would tell me that I’m turning into a pussy, and he’d be right, but it’s working for me! (been out of the hood too long) LOL So after the back and forth, BG realized that he had offended Big Boss and PM’d the man to apologize. He then apologized to the forum and stated exactly what his opinion was in a NON-confrontational way.
I don’t see a problem here… That’s as much as you’re ever gonna get from an east coast old school guy over thirty. That’s how he’s built and it’s who he is. He’s abrasive and rude, but I’d be willing to bet my bottom dollar that he’s one of the most loyal and honest people you’re likely to ever meet.
In today’s world, we kind of laugh and snicker at the words “loyalty” and “honesty”. Our society is sorely lacking in those departments. Same with “trust” and “respect”. Wait a minute! I’m starting use words that describe what men USED to be judged by. Now it’s all about how much do you make, how big is your house, how fast is your car, who’s ass can you kiss to get ahead, and how can I impress this stupid gold-digger with the fake tits?
BG is who he is, and if you asked him he (like I and a few others here) would probably tell you that they’d be FAR more comfortable living 500 years ago swinging a battle axe into somebody’s face than they are living in the pussification of today’s society. To put it quite simply, he is a mirror. What ever you give him he will reflect back to you. If you lead with the open hand, you’ll get a firm hand shake, If you lead with the fist, he’ll break a dick off in your ass. If more folks had the perspective to understand and appreciate that, the world would be a FAR better place, IMHO.
But here I am on an internet forum doing the equivalent of trying to describe the taste of water. Those of us who grew up in an east cost city, and are over 30 can testify to what I’ve written. Most other folks just simply won’t have the perspective to get what I’m saying (NTTATWWT). Personally, I am glad to know that guys like the BG are still around doing what they love to do on the weekends: kicking ass and taking names. [/quote]
Thanks for this post.
I’ve only read a few posts in here fully. As I said in my first post, I’m confused. I’ve only communicated directly with the OP directly once in a thread about deadlifting in which I apologized (sincerely) about expressing myself poorly about deadlifting (How serious and important!).
I’m 30 years old and from the east coast and I consider myself an honest person too. I’m down to talk shop about dietetics, nutrition, training, and anything related to health and well being - sometimes 24/7. It’s what I do for a living actually and I love helping people out with this stuff, hence why I use the site and have listed my contact information in my hub page. I was considering posting my cell too, but I figured that was a bit too much. You’ll see it when I come out with a serious website in the future. Got something to finish in the next four months before I make my site.
However, I don’t know what world some of these people are living in, because such ATTEMPTS at insults and public humiliation would pan out a bit different, or perhaps A LOT different, in person around here, and that includes the more suburban, tree-lined-street type of places around here. That is, such attempts with VERBAL tactics might result in the person receiving insults - or attempts at insults - wanting to make the situation a little more serious. You know, physically. In some cases, it can result in SEVERAL PEOPLE–not just the person on the receiving end of the insults–wanting to make the situation a little more serious. That’s when loudmouths really hit the stop sign.
