None of that at all. But Alex has his points and I respect them. We have some ideas after Nationals... but first, he must concentrate on winning his class this weekend in Atlanta.
while we're on the subject of how this board is run, what do you think about what dante(doggcrapp) had to say about you and getbig over at promuscle ron? pretty disrespectful and cowardly imho especially considering you gave him a 'special guest' title
I disagree totally....In my opinion most of the people over there are people who got banned off other boards. Massive G kicked them off of mayhem, Skip kicked them off of Intensemuscle, Big A kicked them off of here etc etc etc and on and on......so where do they go? Ron Avidan has absolutely no control over his board.....he is incredibly proud to have a board though as he will go thru expo's saying "im the owner of Getbig" (heard a story from a competitor who when Ron went up to his booth and told him that....the guy almost started laughing....like "and you are proud of owning that site where they walk all over you and make fun of how fat you are?"
He has no control of it.....basically he lets the animals run the asylum. You can say the most racist, sexist, godawful things over there and he wont do a thing about it.
When i kind of got a real sour taste of Getbig was when Kris Dim had that heart attack and almost died.....people on there were telling this guy (who has a family who just went thru hell) and was in his hospital bed reading the board at the time...."Good you deserve to die" "I hope you fucking die you slant eyed etc etc etc" and Ron Avidan did nothing about it....just let people say what they wanted to say.
I honestly thought that was one of the sickest things Ive ever seen let go on a message board.
Free speech is great when its used in a context of responsibility.....
a) A political debate and a guy stands up and says "I disagree with your policies and this is what i see wrong with them and why I dont agree with your point of view"
b) A guy gets up at the same debate and screams "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU repeatedly for 15 minutes straight"
Both are freedom of speech....which one is responsible and which one is idiotic? Obviously the second guy would be removed and thats how i think internet forums should be run.....let someone say responsible things in agreement or disagreement but dont allow (like at getbig) someone to call Jay Cutlers wife a "horsefaced whore" <----another thing Ron Avidan just lets go and does nothing about. Ok Jay Cutler gets judged on a bodybuilding stage....great....but his wife doesnt asked to have her looks be judged by you and she should be off limits.
If you read getbig closely its the same 20-25 guys over and over posting again with multiple gimmick accounts.
Years ago that was a damn awesome board....they had a slew of pro's on there posting daily......it really was interesting because at any given time I would say they had up to 10 pro's if not more posting......but when you can create gimmick accounts and hide behind screen names and bash people to make up for your own shortcomings of your own sucky life....guess what happens.....Avidan let all those guys drive those pro's off.....every single one.....the only guy left I believe is Bob Cicheriello.....they drove off Jay Cutler in 2 days. So basically instead of coersponding with known people in the sport, you have to wade through mindless posts of guys from East Jamoke South Carolina who are 6'1" 163lbs who dont have jobs and can post all day long about how awesome they are....24/7
Here is the bottom line of why I disagree with you that its the same guys you see on these other boards under gimmick accounts......
If you truly are happy in life or are rich in spirit or wealth....or are really a good bodybuilder, or have achieved results from your hard work......do you go around bashing other people on a daily basis? No you dont because you dont have to.
Do you see Jay Cutler coming on message boards bashing people in the sport? Did you see Ronnie do that? Do you see someone like Mark Dugdale do that? No you dont because they have their shit together. People who dont have their shit together, cant get anywhere in this sport and hate people who do get somewhere in it, or are just basically unhappy with themselves in someway....stay behind gimmick names, and bash people and it makes them feel "a step up?"...."a little bit better?"..."aha I told that pro off under the screen name "bigpipes"...Im freaking awesome now!?".....
Ill say it a million times over....truly happy with themselves people would never be over at getbig under a gimmick name bashing people, no way.....there is so much more productive stuff going on in their lives.
Now there are good people at getbig also....all you got to do is look for the guys who post under their real name by and large or let their real name be known.....yes its kind of that simple.
