Title: A BRUCE Weblog - Any Interest??
Post by: BRUCE on February 07, 2007, 08:25:33 PM
Here's one for you lads, and I'm running it by our illustrious leader (Ron, for those of us that live in caves) at this very moment - would you read and participate in a BRUCE weblog?  Obviously, I'll still be posting things here, but with Ron's permission, I'll be linking to my own weblog from time to time.  In return, I'll send my traffic (if any) back to this board, thus increasing the debate here.  The other advantages will be:

- Even more BRUCE for your buck
- Links to other websites deemed appropriate
- Your opportunity to give me hell on my own website by picking through every word I say
- Posts made here that are hotly contested will be dragged over and vice versa

So what do we think? Good idea?  Does anyone care?

I'd definitely read it and comment on it.  You're right about some things, def an interesting perspective from down under.

Thanks, Rob - I've actually got something ready as we speak (scary, isn't it), just waiting on Ron to give me the all clear.

Have you been posting here to generate interest in your blog?  Not a bad strategy.

That concept has only recently occurred to me, Deedee, but I have been considering the weblog for a while now.  I guess it can't hurt to be a bit provocative here and engage in a little cross-promotion.

So what do you think, give it a try?

Thanks, BB - I trusted you would be in the affirmative - more to come on my blog regarding Leftists fallacies, I'd love to see you all there once Ron reviews my request.

I'd love to tell u bro but their (your) SOF guys are very careful about OPSEC and what their doing here. Just take it from me, they do their job very well.

It would surprise me if Ron approves this, as it would mean that he specifically endorses a particular political agenda, when the forum is supposed to support everyone's POV.  I don't see it as a real problem if that's the case as you can always recruit people for your conservative blog through PMs and by providing the link in whatever thread you're posting in. (Although that might eventually cause you probs too.  If he allows you to do so, then he has to allow everyone else the same privilege, and it could become annoying for some members). But God knows, there are plenty of conservos here on the board so I can see why you'd come post here... it's like picking ripe fruit off a low-hanging branch!  ;)

What?  I think conservatives are distinct minority around here.  Every day is like liberal love fest.  There is probably at least one anti-American/anti-military post every day.

Maybe we should take a poll  ;D  Everytime I come on here it's like a Rush/right wing orgy. I would also say that if you took a post count, you'd find many more conservative posts than left-leaning ones.  You, 240, Bruce, and many of the  more outspoken regulars all have conservative leanings or are outright conservative.  (The dems are all too busy smoking pot in the janitor's closet at work.  ;) ).

No, the loudness comes from having accompanied hippy parents to sit-ins and protests as babies and toddlers.  ;D This has of course left its indelible mark upon impressionable young minds.  The mellowing effect of the pot seems to lower this tendency a notch or two, and also has a beneficial effect on the genetically imprinted militant shrillness too.

(No kidding, our janitor is an old hippie and when you walk past the utility room on a Friday afternoon, you can smell the peyote a mile away! I have no idea if he's a democrat though. I'm projecting.  :) )

One of my partners is a former hippie and self-described radical liberal.  I think she probably smoked a joint or two in her day.   :)  She's not loud, but she's very aggressive (and very smart).

I guess Democrats smoke pot and Republicans do coke?

I think you may have inadvertantly uncovered the truth behind why the dems and repubs just can't ever seem to get on the same page.  :P  Imagine how much more cooperative and communicative the two parties would be if only there was one drug of choice!  Lol.

This is definitely something I have a whole range of thoughts on, HH6, and even more information from both sides of the media relating to how this ties into Australian culture.  It would be a very entertaining topic to share with my friends worldwide here, to see how you all feel about the growing intolerance of Islamic followers in Western nations.

Feel free to PM anything (off the record, of course) about the Aussie guys giving them hell over there, I'd love to know hear some positive news, for once, about our brave soldiers.

Not really, I don’t disagree that I will be presenting, for the large part, my conservative views on this weblog, however I will be inviting all of you (even Ribonucleic) to join me and discuss what I have written.  If I am wrong on anything, you will be encouraged to point it out, and debate why you are right and I am not.

I don't see it as a real problem if that's the case as you can always recruit people for your conservative blog through PMs and by providing the link in whatever thread you're posting in. (Although that might eventually cause you probs too.

I considered doing this, but I’d much prefer to be transparent with Ron, as he has been good enough to provide us with free entertainment here for so long.  I love this website, and I would a point of promoting it through my own endeavours.

But God knows, there are plenty of conservos here on the board so I can see why you'd come post here... it's like picking ripe fruit off a low-hanging branch!  ;)

Here’s the part I don’t agree with, I can’t think of more than a handful of what you describe as ‘conservos’ here.  For the most part, the members here are left leaning, thus the amount of abuse that is levelled at me (not by yourself, of course).  I also disagree 240 has conservative inclinations, but I guess that’s a different debate.  Note that the moderating forces here are Left in the majority.

TRUE conservatives like a small budget and minimal govt involvement.

Bush is about spending big dollars, and being greatly involved in peoples' lives.

Remember when it used to be the liberals who wanted to govt to manage aspect of our lives?

They still do, liberals rely on Big Government and sweeping change to acquire power - thus their fascination with end-of-the-world doom predictions such as Global Warming theory.

Bush may be spending a lot of your money on this war, but I disagree that he is for Big Government.

Post by: BRUCE on February 08, 2007, 06:10:09 PM
bruce, what a is a weblog?

Im for it, but what exactly is that?

My weblog will simply be a web page with headlines and articles (written by yours truly) citing relevant links and other stories that you can all follow and research.  I'll develop a series of opinions on a list of different political issues, much like what you see here, present my view - and then step back and let my readers throw in their own 2 cents.  A weblog also incorporates many features unavailable on message boards.

The advantage to this (opposed to posting it here), is that I can post at length in my weblog, and as often as I want, without flooding this board with too much BRUCE.  Also, it will be more personal, so you can send me emails and find out more information about me, the conservative minds I tend to agree with, and even some that I don't.

Basically, I have a fascination for sharing and reading political opinions, and this is my opportunity to house some of those debates under my own roof.  I'll still be posting here regularly, but probably more briefly, so as to not weigh you all down with my arguments.

This is such complete bullshit... sorry Beach, I actually started posting in political threads and posting my own political threads because I was sick of seeing guys like Intenseone with his daily lib rant with very little opposition.  "Liberal love fest" is way off base... Obviously as we've gone along it looks like some of the stronger Bush supporters who use to chime in back in General have disapaited over the last year+  Gee, I wonder why, but I've been around bodybuilding boards long enough to know that the boards in general definitly lean to the right.  It is also worth noting that the righty who pushed so hard to become mod of political, has pretty much bailed on the forum.  I think he wanted the mod badge but not much else.  Delusional use to post all the time in general, then when we got the forum, gone... :-\

I had to laugh at this post, in one breath you denounce BB for saying this, and then allude to what he said anyway - that there is no balance in moderation here, and conservative posters are far outnumbered by Leftists.

Oh brother, unlike me? Is that right, I don't respect ron now ::)  How so ::) If ron didn't want links to other sites posted, he wouldn't have an option available for people to link to outsite websources like many many many many people have done on getbig for a long long time...  Are guys like Garaeth and 240 disrespecting ron because they link to their websites?  Don't be dumb ::)  Or are you after something bigger, because if you're looking for some featured link like a sticky in political to your web blog, that's not cool, I wouldn't be for that...  Just do like everyone else does and link to your blog so we can have more Bruce for our buck ::) Oh brother....

Sorry, did I say 'Ron' or 'other members'?  You disrespected BB by labelling his post as 'complete bullshit', learn to be a little more eloquent, or deal with my posts.

And I didn't say others were being disrespectful for doing so, just pointing out that I was being proactive by requesting this of him - yet again you hurl insults rather than facts.

Which I guess explains why you didn't challenge my conservative/Leftists ratio on this board.  Take a deep breath now; I won't be forcing you to join me in the blogosphere.

And yet you hurl attempted insults like the deeply mature 'noobie' remark, which entirely ignores the fact that you've been registered to this website less than a month more than me.

Oh, and thanks for clarifying you don't care what people think of you here, even though you happily took mod status, which I assume was some ironic way of showing you 'do not give a rats butt'.  I'll know to not take anything you say here seriously anymore.

Oh my god you're worse than Beach.  You're offended by being called a noob so much so that you want me to not abuse you in this manner too?  Can you notch down the cry baby act a little... I have to just talk all nice and sweet to you or nothing? Are you serious with yourself?  Just because I care about moding and care about this forum does not mean I give a rats butt what anyone here thinks of me...

Actually, I have no problem with your labels - they make you look far worse than me, so keep them coming.  If you cared so little about what others think of you, you would have given up arguing this with me, and probably wouldn't have then started a thread about yours truly.  And I have the identity crisis?

I find it hard to believe you're just asking for permission to post a link in your sig to a blog.  Links to outside sources are common on getbig...  You're going to come here and ask people what they think and if they'll support it?  It would be dishonest to not be clear on exactly what you're wanting to do...  Exactly... What is IT you're wanting to do?  A dedicated stikey to your blog? What?

Um, how's your reading and comprehension?  I've outlined in this thread what I'd like to do, you might want to peruse it once again to pick up on my intentions.

To clarify, for the benefit of everyone else, I'd simply like to actively promote my weblog right here on this board.  This means suggesting it in threads, posting links to it and perhaps having the address in my signature.  I haven't asked Ron for any input from him in achieving this, and would under no circumstances expect it.

I care about the forum, I care about getbig, I love this place, I don't care what you think, nor do I care if I am popular here or not... How is it you're having problems absorbing this??? Hello?!?!?!  ::)  I honestly don't care, you're actually wrong, there are people here who trust me and I trust them so you're dead wrong there, but if they didn't have any faith in me, I wouldn't be all worked up over it. I did not accept mod to be popular, that much is absolute fact ::)

yea I got that, I was calling you out suspicious you had other intentions such as a dedicated sticky because I find it hard to believe all you're asking for is permission to do what everyone already does without issue... just like I said in my post...

My weblog will simply be a web page with headlines and articles (written by yours truly) citing relevant links and other stories that you can all follow and research.  I'll develop a series of opinions on a list of different political issues, much like what you see here, present my view - and then step back and let my readers throw in their own 2 cents.  A weblog also incorporates many features unavailable on message boards.

The advantage to this (opposed to posting it here), is that I can post at length in my weblog, and as often as I want, without flooding this board with too much BRUCE.  Also, it will be more personal, so you can send me emails and find out more information about me, the conservative minds I tend to agree with, and even some that I don't.

Basically, I have a fascination for sharing and reading political opinions, and this is my opportunity to house some of those debates under my own roof.  I'll still be posting here regularly, but probably more briefly, so as to not weigh you all down with my arguments.
This is really ironic... Ironic because one of the reason this board was created in the first place is so that people who had something to say could post their sweet little hearts out.  Of course Bruce may do what he wishes.  I think it's silly that he wants permission to post a link to an outside blog... The very setup of getbig allows this.   I do not want other users of this forum to think that they can't post their butts off in this forum.  They can.  If you have a lot to say in any given day, go for it!!!  The whole reason we adobed LIBERAL rules for this forum was to allow for this... So far it's worked out perfectly.  I love this forum and everyone has done an outstanding job here... Bruce you are welcome to post your ass off in this forum, if you got the impression that you're unwelcome, don't.  That goes for everyone with something political to say, even if it's a lot of say ;D

Oh brother,... I can call you out all day long... so what?... I can post here you know.  If being mod requires me to not be a participant, I'm out of the modding biz tommorrow... You can stop trying to intimidate me with this garbage right now.  You're holding my mod status against me with everything I post which is just low... You need to end that...  I called you out for a contradiction you made over your stated political positions... you claimed no bias, I think you're plenty bias from the right... That does not mean you're unwelcome...  ::) don't be stupid... Of course you are... I always disagree with Intenseone and never once has that meant he's not welcome, I wish he would post more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you can too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  all you want!!!!!!!!!!!  all day long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Post links to your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why ask Ron, I'm mod and I say you can post all you want in political... Unless the other mods have issue, what the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ask Ozmo...  actually come to think of it, the more respectfull thing to do would have been to ask the mods, just like they do in other forums... but I forgive you ;)

This is such complete bullshit... sorry Beach, I actually started posting in political threads and posting my own political threads because I was sick of seeing guys like Intenseone with his daily lib rant with very little opposition.  "Liberal love fest" is way off base... Obviously as we've gone along it looks like some of the stronger Bush supporters who use to chime in back in General have disapaited over the last year+  Gee, I wonder why, but I've been around bodybuilding boards long enough to know that the boards in general definitly lean to the right.  It is also worth noting that the righty who pushed so hard to become mod of political, has pretty much bailed on the forum.  I think he wanted the mod badge but not much else.  Delusional use to post all the time in general, then when we got the forum, gone... :-\

We have different opinions.  I stand by what I said.  If I had the time or the desire, I would point out the multitude of Bush-bashing, conservative bashing, anti-military, anti-United States posts and threads in this forum.  But it's not something I'm losing any sleep over.

It's not like evidence ever changed a Leftists mind anyway, BB.

Oh my god you're worse than Beach.  You're offended by being called a noob so much so that you want me to not abuse you in this manner too? 

Don't start that nonsense again man.  I have never been offended by anything posted on this board.  Never said I was and never have been.  Don't confuse comments, opinions, criticisms, my occasional ad hominem, etc. with someone being offended.

it was my heart rate, not pressure.  My pressure was fine, my bpm was 98 resting and had me freaked out... now it's down to 64bpm the last I checked.... I feel much better now 8)... I couldn't get it down for like 2 months... It sucked...

You know, the funny thing about that is that I actually typed heart rate, then blood pressure, as I thought it sounded better.  I do hope your health is okay, though, and I didn't mean to make light of it.

thanks!  I think I'm good.  It was probably a suppliment I was taking.
