+ 4 Little something bothering me that has to change
Lately there's been something bothering me and getting under my skin, so far I haven't misplaced my patience but the gun powder gets packed tighter and tighter every time I see it. I've been see good posts about damn good topics , some old and some new and they are getting all gummed up with bullshit arguing over disagreements and what not. I have no issue with having an educated debate but, when it turns into a pissing match of back and forth shit which eventually just gets worse it irritates me. It irritates me because someone took the time to type out this educated post touching on a good subject but now the comments below look like two 16 year olds are pissed over something and neither will back down and be the bigger man walk away. All the educated comments that went along with said post now get buried from the fuckery above. So I'm asking you guys to be the solution instead of the problem , let's all do our part to keep this place classy instead of looking like a bunch of children. If someone's being a cunt notify a mod don't go back and forth because it makes the place look like shit.
This is what's been on my mind and instead of cracking people in the head I'm brining it to the table so we can fix the issue. So ask yourself are you part of the solution or part of the problem? Thanks guys.

one thing i had found quite discouraging was the new to the forum member who had no idea and made the mistakes as many here have and came here for guidance and support to be meant almost immediately with flaming and hostility over their poor decisions and choices. i find myself often in disbelief over some of the posts i read and think that they are truly stupid to have done what they have but now theyre here and as a responsible and knowledgeable aas user i dont think the first thing any of us should do is to jump on them in a negative way, it just pushes them away and to another potentially bad decision or poor advice from some other forum. dont get me wrong some of these people after the advice is offered positively still say some pretty stupid shit than deserve the flaming they get. im not saying its always the case nor am i pointing a finger, hell ive probably done it at some point. i think we should evaluate closely the value of what we can offer a new member before we go all smack down on them. as a i stated some straight earn that shit though but for their sake we should do our best to guide them before chasing them off. it does nothing to help our community when they flee.
My bad guys. I should have just shut up, a bunch of times. My presence on the board has definitely caused an uproar especially with Rusty. Whatever I did that has caused you to try and research me on google and bash everything I say, well I am sorry. I get carried away sometimes. I should probably proof read what I write better as well.
Like a lot of you I am sure you tend to expect the same respect and courtesy that you are given in the real world. Obviously on the internet its a little different, no immediate threat of a massive negative consequence. No people looking and saying, "damn why is that guy so angry". So when someone insults you and makes disrespectful comments because your views are different or the way you get from point a to point b involves "girly powder", things can get out of hand, and they did.
For all of those I have offended I apologize. At the end of the day we are all here for the same shit. O you like bodybuilding, me too. O you eat more chicken breast then any sane person should eat in a lifetime, ya me too.
Again I apologize to those who I have offended. I apologize again to rusty especially about the 300mg proviron typo I made, hopfully no one took that much proviron in the 30 seconds it was there before everybody ripped my ass apart lol. Not saying it wasn't warranted.
I hope someday I can say, "well damn I am glad Tony didn't delete my account after my second day like I asked him". Thank you for reading. And again, Sorry for gumming up the boards.....even now.
RustyhookerWelcome to eroids! Water under the bridge. Always a new day here.
Good for you bro just put this behind you BUT don't ever forget it Let it be a reminder when something happens again and move foward and become a part of the community here and live and learn and pay foward and you will be fine. There is no place I can think of that has this much knowledge on so many different subjects and levels. Sometimes it is better to listen bro there a bunch of good mods here and are willing to listen and understand sometimes shit happens but don't take that lightly they can lay smack down to. Be safe bro.
Respect when its due..... takes a man to apologise, and yeah words do get misconstrued so easily in a 2D context like we have here... without eye contact, body language, tone of voice etc there is a certain skill required in reading a post correctly on just a quick viewing.. it took me a while to get my points across clearly at first.
Even now i dont think most folk realise even the simplest 1 or 2 sentence post takes me like 2 fkn minutes due to only being able to type with one finger lol.
Anyway.... yeah its a new day, lets clear the air and put the yesterdays behind us and lets all move forwards in a positive manner... :)........................ +3 brother.
AnonI for one commend you for manning up and admitting to your mistakes.
I too have made my own fair share and at times I'm sure there were MODS out there that were at the end of there tether and were that close to banning me for good.
But I realised the error of my ways and that it's far more productive to build someone up than to tear them down.
I personally don't know tonytulo but from what I've seen as in the way he behaves on this board as a MOD he comes across very reasonable and will give anyone a second chance if there willing to fix the error of there ways.
Moral of this story is this, if you have nothing productive or decent to say it's best to say nothing at all.
Well now is your second chance. Be a productive member and know when to just walk away from an argument. Everyone fucks up every now and then, some have started off just as bumpy as yourself. Just continue to be on the up and up and choose your battles wisely bro. Not everyone has to like each other here but for the boards sake we will get along or stay away from each other simple as that. This isn't a site full of children its full of men even if some act childish every now and then. We all have similar goals and similar interests so let's focus on that. Put the past behind you and focus on the future. Don't make me look like a fool either. I'm fair with everyone until they give me a reason to treat them other wise. So max just focus on being a productive member brother we all have had our days.
if someones being a cunt? never knew you were aussie now bro, notify a mod! because if you dont, there will be 3000 forum posts containing the words "theflash" get too fuck" and "mouth on a twig" in the blue magnifying search bar data base hahahahahaha.
totally agreed, seems to have calmed down a bit lately, a while back you could have 3 pages of back and fourth fuckery lol.
I like your style .
But i am biased because i am and have been your surrogate father for like the past 3yrs lmao!
Its an extension of life right here on the board.... Tidy mind leads to a tidy person which ultimately leads to a happy fulfilled life.
SO COME ON YOU SCRUFFY FUCKS!.. GET THIS BOARD TIDIED UP AND KEEP IT THAT WAY :).
Can we just get an asshat tag. That way it comes up and u can give them that tag for a day for first offense. Second offense a week. Third a troll tag or banned lol.
I agree, make a point, and let it be. Explain your stance on a subject, but dont get into a typing wrestling match.
Bro, I've been absent the last few weeks with my business so I can't recall specifically what you are talking about. But, the forums are not about proving who is right and wrong because someone simply can't back down. It is important, however, to end up with the right information so if someone is gonna reference some NIH study to drive home an argument, well then, OK. But, let us not waste time trying to impress each other with our knowledge. I don't know about you, but I can accept the fact that there are plenty of folks on here that know more about certain shit than I do even though I have a lot of experience. And, the guy who knows more than me can have 1 karma point and just joined yesterday.
I can agree I hate seeing arguing here because there is soooooo much GREAT information here. this is my go to for info. This place has helped me achieve goals with and without aas. I am still learning and don't have much to offer, So thank you all for your hard work.
My opinion is lots of people are forgetting their bloodwork and/or not taking any ai. We get the over the top aggressors that are correct even when wrong. We get the overly sensistive types that get offended with just one sentence. People are here for one reason or another either taking aas because they are sick of getting sand kicked in their face at the beach or looking for some sort of magical edge.
Sure its fun to argue over the intertubes but for what end? I have been wrong many times as I have been right but if there is a stalemate stop wasting your energy on a lost cause. I look up to the ones who have real life experience and years of it and I know they know sometimes they can be wrong as well. Fuck I'm rambling right now...My point is if a conversation is going nowhere and getting tempered everyone needs to cut their losses EVEN IF THEY ARE RIGHT. Why get worked up over someone you will never meet or have a less then 10% chance of? Stop fucking ruining good posts.
Yep. I agree. I been sending more stuff to yall. I like to be efficient and not argue. That back and forth going know where crap ruins me as a person. Glad we have MODS that help like yall do. Keepin it classy!! :-)
Agree T. It often surprises and dare I say disappoints me that we seem to be able to fall out over minor disagreements here. I guess just because of the anonymity etc people behave differently online. I believe I am pretty much the same here as I am in real life. In both situations I'm not going to take it personally because someone has a different perspective / opinion. There's probably only two or three people I've genuinely taken issue with in all my time here.
Some folks here need to get a grip, sorry but it needs to be said. We are all apparently grown ups......
This is exactly why I haven't been posting lately... I mean seriously who names themselves "clen brah"? Dumbest fucking name ever. And some other numbnuts put his frat's greek letters in his screen name... basically I can tell who these people are and what they're about without even opening their threads.
I deff agree
RustyhookerIm the guilty party here. It ysed to he just let mods keep us safe and members keep boards safe. So a few newbs been popping up with monster long paragraphs of hazardous bullshit. I call em on it and its another 2000 word essay that held nothing more that passive aggressive bs that neither proved or disproved any said statement. One in particular writes just like a multi banned 19 year old named batmangt...optix...plus whatever other name. So it's literally leave hazardous info telling folks 300 mg of proviron up alone or keep coming to mods every second and be yet the sites asshole plus whiney bitch. Im in no doubts gonna be banned soon for keeping it safe. But I can smell a rat in very few sentences.
Rusty your a valued member here I just think sometimes its easier to walk into a post say your piece and move along, if the op comes on and uses his head then right on. If he comes on and acts a fool send it to one of us and he will be delt with. Having huge forum post of back and forth shit just looks shity after awhile. If its educated that's totally fine when it becomes uneducated finger pointing bullshit that's when I'm like Jesus Christ lol. I'm more or less talking about regular good posts that are informative posts that get all gummed up with shit and all the educated replies get buried beneath fuckery, that really gets me fired up. For example like the back and forth in popeboys post about reviews that shit drives me nuts lol. Just try not to get to caught up with a fool brother.
RustyhookerPopeboys forum got screwed by a dude I don't even know why he was there. At first I figured he's just off his rocker, we made up and go about tge day. Then comes back. I sent link right to a mod because I had no idea if dudes medicated, drunk or got popped shilling a source.
I do hear your ideals. And understand them fully. Most the vets already split couple years ago frustrated. I've got no real answers anymore. Will work on it though.
agreed! i feel like ive been alot better at arguing, and i continue to keep trying to be better and positive! i think most members here have been in an arguement or two! we should all work together! i agree tony!
I think you've been turning a new leaf bro. Keep doing it. Everyone has their days but I'm seeing more and more of it happening and it makes the place look shity and ruins good educating posts cluttering them with shit. The ship travels in the right direction because of the crew not because of only one or two people.
