Title: An open letter to the get big politics forum.
Post by: Howard on November 09, 2016, 11:50:43 AM
I came over prior to this election for some debate and to read other views.
Some posts, threads were informative , but my overall experience was pretty negative.
I'm 58 years old and allowed myself to get involved here and on other forums for awhile now.

Many replies are  personal insults or an attempt to ridicule me or my ideas.
I honestly don't understand why, but, I do know it's the nature of most forums.

For example, just yesterday, I met a regular poster on another BB forum.
He came up to me, in my new gym and asked if I was Howard .
Unlike forum interaction, he was friendly, polite and funny.
It was a VERY positive experience and we both enjoyed meeting.

I'm no bad ass , big  man or anyone to fear.
BUT, without exception, meeting and interacting in person is a totally different experience .
I'd sincerely like to meet guys like coach, TA, etc ,face to face and have some actual dialogue.
If you see me at a future BB event, please come up and say hi.
For whatever reason, that rarely happens.

So, I'm going to use some self-discipline and limit my amount of forum interaction.
Melting down or taking this  forum stuff too serious is insane. :D

Thanks for listening and let's all wish our new President the best.

The fact is you voted for a criminal, someone who belongs in jail and you could have cared less, it shows who and what you really are.

Is this supposed to be a goodbye thread or what, do you have a question or something?

Is this some emotional cuck outburst from the election results

 I previously wrote, you should  say "hi" , if you ever see me at a future contest or expo.
On 2nd thought, for those like you , please don't .
Thanks.

Howard, see my post on the G&O. I'm done talking politics on here. This summer I'm planning trips to the University of Georgia, LSU and Alabama. Love to meet you when I'm down that way. I haven't been to a bodybuilding show since I competed in '08.

Thanks coach and I'd be pleased to meet any man with your character and training knowledge.
PM me and we'll make it happen.

Ya know , I understand others like you thinking my Hillary vote was wrong.
BUT, how can we ever have an election if only one person runs or gets votes.

That's like getting mas at the other team for trying to score on you.

Uh, how about nominating someone who isn't a criminal?
