WHY Are You In This Forum?

Training Bodybuilding
101

Interesting how this thread turned out.

Textracy actually has some good points. The good Professor can, at times, act somewhat pompously IMO. But he has earned that right, I think, when the discussion involves development, as he obviously is far more advanced than the average guy on this site in that regard. Maybe that makes him an internet dick in some people’s eyes, but it is what it is.

The flipside to that, as other posters mentioned, is that almost all of the advice he dishes out is sound, and he has likely helped many, many people with his advice. Bottom line: yeah, maybe he’s an ass sometimes, but get over it.

I also wholeheartedly agree with him that any idiot who comes to a BODYBUILDING forum and talks shit to posters with advanced levels of development and calls them fat, all while crowing about how not everybody wants to get big, with NO pics of their shredded physique, needs to take that shit and GTFO. I’ll guarantee that douche “ill” or whatever from the other thread, who prompted this one, is small and not nearly as lean as he pretends to be. And English is his 4th language too, he’s a goddamn bi-liguial genius, ripped to shreds, is worth $10MM, and he’s probably dating Megan Fox. Give me a fucking break.

102

professor X may be a dick, ill be the first to tell you that.

but honestly, if he didnt speak out about the fuckery going on around here this forum would be so much worse right now.

he’s the big dog you have to let off the leash once in a while.

I agree some don’t have the genetics- which is why I don’t understand your frequent cries of “fuck limitations” while conjuring images of pushing through perceived barriers and not believing in what may be maximally possible for most people. I agree, there are genetic limitations relative to the highest levels of the sport, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of us can’t try to achieve our potential while being well aware that we probably won’t end up looking like a pro. You can still “build” a damn good “body” all while learning about yourself and being a healthy individual. I don’t have to be Tiger Woods to enjoy and strive at gold and I sure as hell don’t have to be Ronnie Coleman to engage in bodybuilding.

Also, I’m curious- how many years have you been lifting seriously, and how much weight have you gained since you began?

Most of us will not look like pro bodybuilders. Some of us don’t even have that goal. My goal is to look like the guys competing in NPC, not those on the Olympia stage. What does what you are writing have to do with anything? To be at a stage that most can not reach is the goal for many of us whether we want to actually be Ronnie Coleman or not. It all takes the same heart and the same consistency. Are you implying it doesn’t?

As far as my own stats, how will that help you? I have posted in detail more shit about my own progress than anyone else here. You don’t need any more info.

Feel free to read the last sentence of my post first.

Are you natural? Have you always been natural? Do you intend to stay natural?

Also, the reason I asked your beginning and ending stats (which, by the way, it would’ve been easier for you to simply type the answer than what you wrote) is that I’m curious as to what your average annual bodyweight gain has been. It’s a straightforward question, and you have quite an ego if you think your mere posting about it in some other thread at some other time means, per se, everyone will or should already know that. I’m not aware of everyone’s actions on this site.

From what I gather, you started around age 17 or so and are currently 30-32. If you started around 170, and are now 270, that means you have gained roughly 6-7.5 lbs per year. I realize that there have been fluctuations along the way.

I’m also TRULY curious as to how you are a self-appointed arbiter of what flies on this site. You have never fully dieted down to contest condition, never competed in any strength or bodybuilding competition, haven’t really trained anyone, don’t have the education/certifications, etc…none of the “typical” stuff.

All you have is almost 30K posts and are a big guy-- I see that in my gym every day.

I have absolutely zero doubt that part of it is the fact that you are encouraged (free supplements? I dunno) by Tim and others to continue the internet persona and lend credibility to the forums. They generate traffic, and just like a good gym you need street cred to generate forum traffic because after all, forum traffic generates $$$$ for the site.

You can start by answering my basic question above regarding time elapsed and weight gain. Then, you can move on to the other stuff if you’d like.

Just bear in mind that you started this fucking thread and in effect called everyone out that you disagree w/…since your trump card is your own progress and acheivements you have put those at issue and so they are fair game.

I do not use steroids. I have bought MAG-10 from this website before though. What does this have to do WITH YOU? It is none of your business what my stats are. That has nothing at all TO DO WITH YOU. What does MY progress have to do with YOUR progress? Jealous?[/quote]

No offense bro, but if this isn’t the pot calling the kettle, well, copper, so as to not be called a racist by you (although I have RARELY seen you play that card, and have heard others mention it more than anything, fwiw) then I don’t know what the fuck is. This is literally THE most hypocritical thing I’ve read in any post on this site- EVER.

WHAT THE FUCK does EVERY SINGLE OTHER POSTER’S STATS, WHO DO NOT LIVE UP TO YOUR IDEAL AND GAIN YOUR FAVOR, HAVE TO FUCKING DO WITH YOU?!

And for the record, I agree with a great deal of what you say. The truth is, you go about it like a prick. I gotta imagine you got into bodybuilding not because of the small dick thing (because that mother fucker better be 20 or 30 feet long the way all these goofy assholes blindly hang from it/run to defend you when you are, quite often, on a basis of general human manners, wrong ), but because you were obviously fucking tormented and beaten upon daily as a skinny little kid, and are now getting your revenge or something.

And truthfully, I get you. I see you try and help guys out. Tough love, yada yada. And you are quite a funny bastard when you want to be also. Again though, you are also, more often than not, a completely intolerant prick to anyone who has a lesser physique or opposing viewpoint to yours. People come from all walks of life brother, and people all learn from different sources and have different experiences, goals, etc.

Calling kids fucking retards because they don’t know about ramping their weights, etc “How complicated is this shit? Are you all fucking morons?!” is a little on the rough side. And again, time after time, it’s you throwing your two cents in on someone else’s topic when no one asked for it or invited you to the party.

For you to sit there and say “None of your business, my stats have nothing to do with you!” is the most asinine thing you could’ve possibly said there, especially when EVERY single thing he just called you out on, like you get such a glee on doing to others- never dieted down to contest shape, never competed in bodybuilding or strength, are not some world famous trainer to the stars, etc…Every bit of it is true.

And that was your response. “It’s not your business…Don’t look behind the curtains, Tin Man…There’s nothing back there to see…” You just lost a shit ton of credibility for those who actually TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE and don’t just BLINDLY follow what someone says, but actually form their own opinions based on logic and intelligence. You are one big guy in the world…nothing more.

And the good knowledge, quite frankly, that you do have for guys is so smattered in between you burying everyone and shitting on them to prop yourself up as the high and mighty Im sure, for many guys, is just not worth even looking for.

There are plenty of other big, or gasp BIGGER guys out there, like Disc Hoss, Modok, or Dante Trudell, just to name a few, who offer as much (and I’m being modest for their sake, as all are very humble, helpful guys) as you do but without all the insults and trash talking and tearing everyone apart because, well, I dunno…Maybe their brothers didnt make them eat a shit sandwich every morning of their life and now they have to get all their hate out.

Fuck, Dante was 137 lbs, and I don’t see him tearing apart everyone who posts on his boards…“Have you ever been to the gym? Are you an anorexic idiot? Fuck off and die!” The three guys mentioned are people to look up to, because their CHARACTER is as big as their muscle.

Sadly, X, you have a shit ton to offer these forums also, if you’d ever get yourself some fucking prozac, stop for a minute, and realize…“Hey, I was a skinny little poor (if I remember correctly- apologies if that is incorrect) kid. I’m now a very well built, hard working, respected DOCTOR. These guys in here look up to me, not only as a lifter, but as a dude in general. I’ve won the game.And now that I’ve won, and seeing as I’m smart enough to realize that with power comes equal responsibility, I should take it upon myself, since I obviously CARE enough to jump into every fucking post on this board, to step back and admit my own faults. I realize I have let this entire board down with the way I talk to people, as my lessons get lost in my fake machismo bullshit attitude,and now I will start treating people with the same respect and dignity that I fucking DEMAND. Because in the end, I have so much to offer these young guys, and no one on here,by having an inferior build/different thought process and learning experience to mine has harmed me in any way whatsoever. And a lot of them are actually FANS of mine, and judging by their posts, would actually be HONORED to be my friend and get some helpful advice from me without all the insults and maybe, just maybe, on my birthday or something, even a compliment or two. So, from now on, I will show a little bit more CLASS and as such, it would also make my life easier because even more people would take my great advice if I gave more of it and gave less bitching and complaining, thereby creating far fewer stupid, ignorant posters with shitty builds who don’t belong here for me to jump my big ass all over when its none of MY business”.

And I APOLOGIZE if you feel I’m being overly harsh. I just cant believe you had the mother fucking audacity, after your 30,000 something posts of jumping into other peoples threads tearing them apart and making them feel like shit about themselves, their goals, their progress and their intelligence that you could tell anyone that your progress is none of their business. Worst. Reply. Ever.

X speaks truth, and too many people here have a hard time swallowing truth.

It’s not rocket science. Much of the backlash is from those who “defend” themselves by bashing the protocol instead of looking at their own shortcomings. How do I know this? because I’m guilty of my own shortcomings, be they temporarily losing sight of my goals, making excuses for not eating enough, and so forth. And I’m not blaming anyone but myself.

1)Someone registers last week, posts a question about abz or something, and the usuals run into the thread and cry “When will people get it into their fucking heads blah blah blah”, always using profanity and caps lock to look like internet tough guys.

2)But here’s the thing, Professor X actually seems to think that everyone on Earth knows him and have read his voluminous posts, and can’t understand WHY anyone would ask a question that has been answered before. Well, guess what, not everyone has been on T-Nation since 2002 and not everyone has read every freaking article/post on T-Nation, so if you don’t want to have to repeat yourself, then don’t respond, or don’t have so much of your life invested in the dissemination/growth of your online profile and e-myth.

3)You are entitled to take advice from Professor X all you want. He will tell you to lift weights and eat a lot. He may even ask you into the T-Cell and you can feel like the cool guy at school has allowed you to eat at his table.

4)Just remember, he slams many authors who actually HAVE qualifications for not having winning bodybuilders on their resume and not competing themselves. Where are his trainees? Where are his proteges w/ tropies? Where are his own personal trophies?

Nothing i like better than arguing on the internet (sigh)

So here it goes:

  1. As has been noted in the T-Cell when someone asked WHY X bothers he noted that Mr. Patterson took the time out of his day to ring him and thank him. Don’t know about you, but i would feel pretty damn good that the owner of the site recognized my hard work. However as you noted the question gets repeated X’000’s of times and you might know that it may start annoying you after a while. Hence why to some it may appear he is being overly gruff. But if someone really is going to get “THAT” upset over someones “tone” on the internet then they have bigger issues.

  2. Most of your 2nd point i have answered in my 1st, but to offer a point of view on

don’t have so much of your life invested in the dissemination/growth of your online profile and e-myth

Come now, be serious… do you honestly think the man answers every beginners question just for his ego ??? That would be pretty damn silly, more likely this forum has caused him to bang his head off the wall numerous times more than anything else.

As he noted, and you seem to keep missing them… he works as a Dental Surgeon and in between clients he posts on here. Pretty damn good use of spare time, to help beginners get started no ? Don’t know about you but i think thats pretty damn good of him.

You call it “ego boosting” i call it, being helpfull. 2 sides of every coin eh ?

  1. Yes amazingly that IS what he told me as did Cephalic, Modok and several others, amazing you take help off Ceph who is HEAVIER than X but somehow you think X is fooling himself and is just overweight ?? Double standards for people who help you v’s those who don’t eh ?

As for the 2nd part, now come on no need for little digs, i was invited due to my good progress that’s all, i am taking the time to post here as i was brought up with the saying “Nice to be nice to nice people” Mr. X has been nothing but kind and helpfull along with others to me so when i see him being blatently got at then yes i will offer my 2c for him.

Nothing to do with “Sitting at his table” just good manners.

  1. His protoges can be found all over the forum, look in the T-Cell i believe Short Hoss just started a thread thanking him. Funnily i see no threads thanking you

I have no problem with anything you wrote per se, but ask yourself what purpose this thread serves, or any of the other threads that either start this way or end this way.

I agree prof has been helpful, but at the same time I think he’s never competed, never will compete, has never trained anyone, has no credentials and hasn’t posted many pictures other than a few grainy ones here or there (no legs as far as I know- blasphemy for anyone outside of the “core” group of self-appointed board elite).

Keep in mind that he’s the one that started this thread, and it isn’t the first time. He spends a lot of time bitching and moaning and has 28,000 (TWENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND) posts…he slags off other members, authors, etc. THAT’s the issue.

If all X did was give his opinion on training/eating, I would think he were fantastic. It’s all the negativity about others (newbs, coaches, etc.) and superior self-perception that, in my opinion, subjects him to a heightened level of scrutiny.

LOL!!

So, people who have ZERO pics ever posted and absolutely no personal info posted on this forum think my pictures aren’t clear enough and want my credentials posted openly? First, as a doc my name and personal info is available at a click…way too easy to find in my opinion to post openly on a site like this. Enough people here do know me by name and that includes some who left by now (Like rainjack and Nate). For someone with no info available, you sure do want a lot from me.

My pics have been posted in the T-Cell for almost a year now. If that isn’t good enough for you, that’s just too bad. I am so sorry my pocket video camera isn’t up to your standards or preferred amount of megapixels. Apparently you can’t tell I lift from my pictures…which is funny since your lack of ANY photos causes me to think you don’t lift at all.

This thread was about why people who think bodybuilders all have small penises and mother issues (this was actually posted in another thread) keep logging into bodybuilding topics to express their hatred for bodybuilding. For some strange reason this offends you.

That is just too bad. You don’t seem to be getting much support on that one.

I’ll be sure to take a pic of my legs soon just for you…since this is a source of frustration for you.

However, it sure is funny guys like you remain hidden in anonymity yet want my entire resume open on this forum.

Ask Tim Patterson if I measure up.
[/quote]

to you (and others who have mentioned I don’t have pics). ahem, i’m not the one who busts everyone’s balls and acts like i’m king shit. i quote people bigger/stronger than me.

if i did what professor x does, i would expect to be called out and flamed if i don’t bring the goods. but i don’t.

I DON’T HOLD MYSELF OUT AS THE END ALL, BE ALL, AND SHIT ON OTHERS WHO ASK “STUPID” QUESTIONS. therefore, my pics are irrelevant. i also think i give pretty good advice to people.

i don’t think the point of the forum is a locker room for big guys to suck each other off- it’s a place to learn and exchange ideas, and the number of elite people will always be more than “the rest” (that’s why it’s “elite”) so just get used to it and enjoy it, and treat newbs and confused fellow trainees with kindness (even tough kindness) and respect.

however, X has much ballyhooed debates w/ some of the authors on the site, insists on capitalizing BODYBUILDING every other post, calls others out for no pics, professes to be one of the only worthy people on this site (the others being those that have received his blessing and approval), you are going to be held to a different standard.

not to be redundant, but re-read the title of this thread, the name of the thread starter and the original post.

to quote someone else, “why is that so fucking hard to understand?”

Is this coming from the same guy who tells everybody that they can’t say shit about biceps unless they post a picture of their biceps? or Can’t talk about training to be a bodybuilder unless they are 250+?

There are plenty of people who boasts their pictures, stats and whatever else they want regardless of whether someone will use the information against them… Besides you do nothing wrong how could anybody possibly degrade you for it?

Gee, I have pictures from when I first started to last week so what the fuck are you talking about? There are few people on this entire forum who have detailed their progress publicly like I have…yet this still isn’t enough? WTF? Did you really think this through?

Where are any of YOUR pictures? [/quote]

lol GEE ? Picture’s in a private profile = NO PICTURES to me!!! Either way I could care less your the one who said you refuse to answer his question because xyz. I just refuse because I don’t feel like it, and if nobody want’s to listen whoopdi do, but I don’t judge what other people say by whether they have a picture or not. You can have a gazillion pictures and still say stupid shit.

108

It’s me against the weights and no one can stand in my way but me! It also comes in very handy for stress relief, sex appeal, lifting heavy shit out of the weight room.

You said he bashes people and makes them feel inferior. That’s a load of nonsense. He only dishes out harsh advice to those who ask for it. I always see those same people months/years later thanking him for their achievements gained…

110

One other point to consider textracy, Airtuth, and any other X basher in here: you all jump on him for being an asshole to other posters. I’ve already agreed that this is a valid point. But you all seem to be forgetting that 9 times out of 10, X is RIGHT and the person he’s shitting on is 100%, flat-out wrong, yet so convinced he’s got it all figured out, despite not having achieved much in the way of physique development.

Hence X’s ever-present call for pics to back up claims, b/c, “gee”, if someone is claiming they know the best way to build muscle, then surely they’d have done so by now. I’ve seen it many times; sometimes I actually wonder how he has the patience to keep replying to some of the morons on this site.

Being right counts for a hell of a lot.

People like that don’t see this…because they are only looking for something to bitch about…much like Airtruth being dull enough to bitch and moan about my profile being private even though there is a whole thread in the T-cell that has been up for a year ON THE FRONT PAGE that has every significant picture of me in it that I’ve posted here.

For people like that, it is never enough. I get paid to give medical advice all day long. These jokers get it for free and still complain.

That is why they will always blame everyone else’s progress on steroids or “genetics/drugs”. They don’t have it in them and never did. I guess I would be pissed too if I sucked like that.

Do you seriously not know that X’s pics are all over this site? You are insinuating that there are no pics available of him. Go look around t-cell alpha. Those are just a handfull though. There have been others in other threads. I’m not getting involved in this argument on either side but don’t pretend the man has not publicly displayed photos of himself.

I agree, there are genetic limitations relative to the highest levels of the sport, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of us can’t try to achieve our potential while being well aware that we probably won’t end up looking like a pro. You can still “build” a damn good “body” all while learning about yourself and being a healthy individual. I don’t have to be Tiger Woods to enjoy and strive at gold and I sure as hell don’t have to be Ronnie Coleman to engage in bodybuilding.

Also, I’m curious- how many years have you been lifting seriously, and how much weight have you gained since you began?

Most of us will not look like pro bodybuilders. Some of us don’t even have that goal. My goal is to look like the guys competing in NPC, not those on the Olympia stage. What does what you are writing have to do with anything? To be at a stage that most can not reach is the goal for many of us whether we want to actually be Ronnie Coleman or not. It all takes the same heart and the same consistency. Are you implying it doesn’t?

As far as my own stats, how will that help you? I have posted in detail more shit about my own progress than anyone else here. You don’t need any more info.

Feel free to read the last sentence of my post first.

Are you natural? Have you always been natural? Do you intend to stay natural?

Also, the reason I asked your beginning and ending stats (which, by the way, it would’ve been easier for you to simply type the answer than what you wrote) is that I’m curious as to what your average annual bodyweight gain has been. It’s a straightforward question, and you have quite an ego if you think your mere posting about it in some other thread at some other time means, per se, everyone will or should already know that. I’m not aware of everyone’s actions on this site.

From what I gather, you started around age 17 or so and are currently 30-32. If you started around 170, and are now 270, that means you have gained roughly 6-7.5 lbs per year. I realize that there have been fluctuations along the way.

I’m also TRULY curious as to how you are a self-appointed arbiter of what flies on this site. You have never fully dieted down to contest condition, never competed in any strength or bodybuilding competition, haven’t really trained anyone, don’t have the education/certifications, etc…none of the “typical” stuff.

All you have is almost 30K posts and are a big guy-- I see that in my gym every day.

I have absolutely zero doubt that part of it is the fact that you are encouraged (free supplements? I dunno) by Tim and others to continue the internet persona and lend credibility to the forums. They generate traffic, and just like a good gym you need street cred to generate forum traffic because after all, forum traffic generates $$$$ for the site.

You can start by answering my basic question above regarding time elapsed and weight gain. Then, you can move on to the other stuff if you’d like.

Just bear in mind that you started this fucking thread and in effect called everyone out that you disagree w/…since your trump card is your own progress and acheivements you have put those at issue and so they are fair game.

I do not use steroids. I have bought MAG-10 from this website before though. What does this have to do WITH YOU? It is none of your business what my stats are. That has nothing at all TO DO WITH YOU. What does MY progress have to do with YOUR progress? Jealous?

No offense bro, but if this isn’t the pot calling the kettle, well, copper, so as to not be called a racist by you (although I have RARELY seen you play that card, and have heard others mention it more than anything, fwiw) then I don’t know what the fuck is. This is literally THE most hypocritical thing I’ve read in any post on this site- EVER.

WHAT THE FUCK does EVERY SINGLE OTHER POSTER’S STATS, WHO DO NOT LIVE UP TO YOUR IDEAL AND GAIN YOUR FAVOR, HAVE TO FUCKING DO WITH YOU?!

And for the record, I agree with a great deal of what you say. The truth is, you go about it like a prick. I gotta imagine you got into bodybuilding not because of the small dick thing (because that mother fucker better be 20 or 30 feet long the way all these goofy assholes blindly hang from it/run to defend you when you are, quite often, on a basis of general human manners, wrong ), but because you were obviously fucking tormented and beaten upon daily as a skinny little kid, and are now getting your revenge or something.

And truthfully, I get you. I see you try and help guys out. Tough love, yada yada. And you are quite a funny bastard when you want to be also. Again though, you are also, more often than not, a completely intolerant prick to anyone who has a lesser physique or opposing viewpoint to yours. People come from all walks of life brother, and people all learn from different sources and have different experiences, goals, etc.

Calling kids fucking retards because they don’t know about ramping their weights, etc “How complicated is this shit? Are you all fucking morons?!” is a little on the rough side. And again, time after time, it’s you throwing your two cents in on someone else’s topic when no one asked for it or invited you to the party.

For you to sit there and say “None of your business, my stats have nothing to do with you!” is the most asinine thing you could’ve possibly said there, especially when EVERY single thing he just called you out on, like you get such a glee on doing to others- never dieted down to contest shape, never competed in bodybuilding or strength, are not some world famous trainer to the stars, etc…Every bit of it is true.

And that was your response. “It’s not your business…Don’t look behind the curtains, Tin Man…There’s nothing back there to see…” You just lost a shit ton of credibility for those who actually TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE and don’t just BLINDLY follow what someone says, but actually form their own opinions based on logic and intelligence. You are one big guy in the world…nothing more.

And the good knowledge, quite frankly, that you do have for guys is so smattered in between you burying everyone and shitting on them to prop yourself up as the high and mighty Im sure, for many guys, is just not worth even looking for.

There are plenty of other big, or gasp BIGGER guys out there, like Disc Hoss, Modok, or Dante Trudell, just to name a few, who offer as much (and I’m being modest for their sake, as all are very humble, helpful guys) as you do but without all the insults and trash talking and tearing everyone apart because, well, I dunno…Maybe their brothers didnt make them eat a shit sandwich every morning of their life and now they have to get all their hate out.

Fuck, Dante was 137 lbs, and I don’t see him tearing apart everyone who posts on his boards…“Have you ever been to the gym? Are you an anorexic idiot? Fuck off and die!” The three guys mentioned are people to look up to, because their CHARACTER is as big as their muscle.

Sadly, X, you have a shit ton to offer these forums also, if you’d ever get yourself some fucking prozac, stop for a minute, and realize…“Hey, I was a skinny little poor (if I remember correctly- apologies if that is incorrect) kid. I’m now a very well built, hard working, respected DOCTOR. These guys in here look up to me, not only as a lifter, but as a dude in general. I’ve won the game.And now that I’ve won, and seeing as I’m smart enough to realize that with power comes equal responsibility, I should take it upon myself, since I obviously CARE enough to jump into every fucking post on this board, to step back and admit my own faults. I realize I have let this entire board down with the way I talk to people, as my lessons get lost in my fake machismo bullshit attitude,and now I will start treating people with the same respect and dignity that I fucking DEMAND.

I responded because I have already gone into those details…SEVERAL TIMES. My pictures are posted in the T-Cell showing my high school pic all of the way to last week…which makes the question itself retarded as if I haven’t given enough info already.

For these questions to be coming from people with ZERO pics in their profile makes no sense at all. For them to ignore every thread that is on the first page in this forum and in the T-cell only shows they don’t want to know. They just want to complain.

Is this coming from the same guy who tells everybody that they can’t say shit about biceps unless they post a picture of their biceps? or Can’t talk about training to be a bodybuilder unless they are 250+?

There are plenty of people who boasts their pictures, stats and whatever else they want regardless of whether someone will use the information against them… Besides you do nothing wrong how could anybody possibly degrade you for it?

Gee, I have pictures from when I first started to last week so what the fuck are you talking about? There are few people on this entire forum who have detailed their progress publicly like I have…yet this still isn’t enough? WTF? Did you really think this through?

Where are any of YOUR pictures?

lol GEE ? Picture’s in a private profile = NO PICTURES to me!!! Either way I could care less your the one who said you refuse to answer his question because xyz. I just refuse because I don’t feel like it, and if nobody want’s to listen whoopdi do, but I don’t judge what other people say by whether they have a picture or not. You can have a gazillion pictures and still say stupid shit.

Do you seriously not know that X’s pics are all over this site? You are insinuating that there are no pics available of him. Go look around t-cell alpha. Those are just a handfull though. There have been others in other threads. I’m not getting involved in this argument on either side but don’t pretend the man has not publicly displayed photos of himself. [/quote]

That isn’t good enough. They want me to go and get the pics and post them again every single time they ask. To not do so according to them is “asinine”.

Yes they are… And no you don’t.

You give advice that’s been read somewhere else and you put it up as “some guru’s say…” or “a lot of pros think…” and you haven’t really stated what YOU do. How YOU’VE succeeded.

You want people to give 100% kind and helpful advice while typing with kid gloves… Regarding a pursuit that demands focus, effort, drive, motivation, dedication, and the ability to push through adversity, pain and fatigue.

It doesn’t work that way. You shouldn’t expect it to. This shit ain’t romper room and I’ll never expect it to be.

I think you have a great opportunity to assess whether or not this is the right place for you. There are other sites which might cater to your need for equality and proper ego stroking. There are sites where you’ll be called brah and have your ass kissed all the live long day. I for one like it here. The occasional harsh advice is warranted, and if anything could be used a little more around here.

Feelings shcmeelings, you want to succeed you need to have thicker skin than that. Why be led to believe that your techniques and focus are ok when they’re not? Why be told that you’re doing a good job when you’re fucking up? It’s counterproductive and sad man.

Also, asinine is being told that if I don’t go into detail AGAIN about my stats (even though the “Professor a request” thread is on the front page right now along with the “Gimme an X” thread in the T-cell) that this isn’t good enough. Asinine is having invisible trolls with no stats filled out demanding that I go into even more detail about myself as all of the shit already posted just doesn’t measure up.

No, most of you complaining are asinine. It is actually pretty pathetic.
