When magazine writers embarass their magazines...

[Pete Dimano]

Billy Guns wrote some rough things about MD to others in the bodybuilding industry.  Do you guys think this reflects negatively upon MD?

Peter my good man, I believe that indeed that does reflect badly on MD magazine,

it shows what a unprofessionable and disorganised organistion that they are running,

this doesn't surprise considering they have ex convicets and other deviants employed in adundance as writers,

Not only did Billy shit on his own doorstep, he bit the hand that fed him,

he thinks hes Ricky Martin, Billy your William Hung, know your role.

was Billy on the payroll? can you confirm that he was/is a paid employee?

if he was then he should never bit the hand that feeds you

if he was a dumb shmuck like Special Ed and worked for free for months...then all bets are off

Ed was paid - he detailed it. He was paid 2 grand for 40 hours of work, or something like that.  He talked about it when he severed ties with MD.

Billy explains to Laura in his email that he averaged less than $5 per hour in paymnet from MD.

Billy was not a full-time employee of MD...  he has a real day job.  He was just doing this on the side for fun.  As such, it was incredibly bone-headed of Adman to start issuing public edicts to Billy as though he was an employee or someone for whom MD paid the bills.  Billy did what most people would have done in such a situation...  told Adman to go fucck himself.

He's a genital wart to our "sport".

Billy, we had our differences in the past on the MD board, but I respect you for standing up to that shit and keeping your bodybuilding going amid the haters.

I don't think getbig should bash on you anymore. I think getbig should testify on what first seemed like the poor poster boy for MD, turned into the best example of how to stand up to abuse, how shitty they are and detrimental to bodybuilding.

Peace out.
