Wanted to see if you just had a bad day or something when you posted here. You do have a strong ego and that's the first step to becoming a guru.
I like Patrick, he isn't very arrogant.
You remind me of "Vet" over here. It's a bit silly to expect a bodybuilding forum to only house opinions from scientists. And scientists often have a lot of stupid opinions too. Not saying you do since I haven't read many of your posts but I have seen a lot of professed scientists post on PED topics on bb forums that make me (and I'm no scientist) shake my head. An example is "Gavin Kane". A guy who posts on some forums under the name "maxititer" is another.
dear van Assbutter:
you say i have a strong ego, but you also say you haven't read many of my posts. How reliable do you think your assertion is? I think you're mistaking ego for something else. Here it is: I really wouldn't give an ounce of warm piss for most people's opinions on the internet, including yours, but that's not ego. That's just knowing what opinions are worth.
The good news: we share a disdain for gurus. Cheers from the crowd. Gurus are people that have answers for everything; The answers are Baseless, or insufficiently supported, or based on "experience" that they actually have the balls to charge money for (but not worth an ounce of warm piss) and try to intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. They are people out to make a buck on the stupid. That's not me. I'm not a trainer, I make no money, have no clients, and am further not interested in the possibility in the slightest.
If you want a good guru. Here's a referral: razorripped. His good buddy marcus300 will also due. They can tell you, based on experience, all kinds of pharmacological nonesense.
I paraphrase thomas jefferson: It is better to be ignorant and say you don't know than to promote a falsehood. Thomas wouldn't be fond of brologic, either. Personal experience is frought with confounding problems. For instance, the placebo effect. Another: utter lack of rigorous recording of results and the tendency for memories to be wrong.
Finally, if you find sharing experiences to be more important than dealing with the science of steroids or bodybuilding in general, please join md and share your feelings with the group. However, you will do nothing but boor me to tears with that kind of crap.
As for your opinion of scientists, i will just point out that your logic is flawed. Just because you've found one or two scientists having fucked up opinions does not mean all do. I'm surprised i need to tell you this.
