It doesn't really matter whether it is truly affecting you or not, the more important point is that by availing yourself to all and sundry you're allowing every mediocre troll on this board to post nonsense about you to get a personalised response.
Now if you're cool with that, by all means. But you lower yourself by responding to most of the shit here. Not to mention waste your time. Why bother posting endless replies to a guy who is simply writing shit for your attention?
Again, its a waste of time pointing out such obvious logic to you because as usual you'll consider this an attack on your character and deal with it defensively as normal.
Well, thank you for pointing out the obvious...

However, here are some points:
I cannot LOWER myself...as I am NOT in higher position to beggin with.
I am no better (or worse) than any of you here on board. My professional status in the IFBB doesn't make me superior to anyone here...and I consider every single member of this board - my equal.
While there were even some comments about me being "arrogantly selfcentered primadona with super inflated ego" (something in that sense) - I am only "quietly confident" (I love that term - so I often use it)...and willing to talk to absolutely EVERYONE.
What YOU fail to realize...and few others...I am posting, corresponding, answering questions, "defending attacks"...etc - TO GIVE EXAMPLE!
Example that I am giving is: BE NICE, BE GIVING, HELP WHEN YOU CAN, SHARE (or exchange) THE KNOWLEDGE, BE FRIENDLY, "LOVE" YOUR NEIGHBOR (or perfect stranger), INSPIRE, MOTIVATE, SUPPORT....MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
This is exactly my message which I have been giving for a while...and some heard me while others are at least listening...
Sometimes you have to keep doing something repeatedly until is finally accepted.
My intentions are: to make getbig a better place for all of us.
The only reason why I keep repeating that I am not affected by negative comments is for some of you to realize that you can make up just about most incredible story and put me in the leading role - and I will still not get offended (and why would I?)...so instead - why don't you focus on something positive...something we can all actually ENJOY and have benefits from?
Productivity would be a nice thing for a change...
Arguments, fights, name calling, meltdowns, owning...and other things are just childish and pointless.
Some of you guys are really hilarious - I must say...and often I do get a good laugh...
There are numerous natural comedians on this board who are honestly - very funny...and all of us should have a good laugh.
Some teasing, sarcasm, jokes...etc are perfectly OK...but some attacks are just -pointless.

"Why bother posting endless replies to a guy who is simply writing shit for your attention?"
Because, I do want to give him respect and answer his question...and show him that he did get my attention. He IS a person and therefore MY EQUAL...only - he lives in the FANTASY World and that's what I am trying to tell him (in the nicest possible way).
If it is attack (or what you call it "shit") I try to politely answer that: "all due respect I've heard you and I do feel sorry that you think that way about me - but why would you say what you are saying - if you really have no clue?"
Off course I know that many "mediocre trolls" (your name for some getbig members that just don't know better...but to attack) want attention and for many guys getbig (or other boards) are fantasy worlds in which they can live the dream.
Dream of being "tuff" and telling people things - they could NEVER in the million years say it in their normal life...
They could call you names, insult you and your family, challenge you, make fun of you...etc...and feel overwhelming sense of POWER and PRIDE...

Those - I do like to wake up and tell them that indeed "user name hero" is the toughest guy that ever lived on that Getbig planet he is living on...
Maybe one day...when they grow some balls and grow up, mature and learn what the life is all about they could come down to planet Earth, become a person with their real first an last name - and be respected for their comments and opinions as THIS TIME there is a PERSON behind the claims they are making (not imaginary Cyber-hero).
From that moment on - when they become "a person" and start posting as themselves - their words become much "heavier" and worth listening...as this time person takes the reponsability and it is accountable for everything posted under THE REAL NAME...
But, to answer your question WHY I respond even to those guys - I want to GIVE THEM A CHANCE to realize some things.
I can easily get in argument (like most of you guys do) and go into a "pissing contest"...or use "TripleX- Webster dictionary" in effort to insult them or their "mamas"...

...
Now that...THAT IS THE WASTE OF TIME...and I chose to avoid.
Some of the "trolls

" just need a "trolleybus"...which will take them OUT of that troll Land (or Planet Getbig)...and bring them into the REAL WORLD.
Well, if you didn't realize - I drive this bus for quite some time...and few people did get on the bus...For others I am coming back - when they are ready...
Few - still have to let some steam out...insult me few more times...and tell me how pathetic I really am (like I don't know that

)...how my training sucks and my pink dumbells are out of style...
The best is - they are convicing me that I am turning blue and loosing my mind in uncontrollable rage which they are so proudly causing...
Those few I'll leave for a while to "vent"...and later I'll come to pick them up as well...
So: WHY DON'T WE TRY JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT APPROACH...
Few threads were started with some (I hope?) valuable info...
For change - we can start getting along and start helping each other - which was ultimately (I hope) the idea of making this forum - to beggin with.
"BROTHERS OF IRON" should be much more than Joe and Ben Weider...That term should consider ALL OF US!
So why don't we at least try?
And if not: your mama is fat and ugly too...And she does have a ...nosehair...
There - in your face...budy!
