From my perspective it seems that many here either don't know or are unwilling to see the obvious difference between an objective opinion about some issue or bodybuilder vs a negative personal attack.
Issue statement- This can be a pro or con statement related to the issue(s) of a bodybuilders physique, training , diet, posing , seminar/event , etc.
Ex 1. Joe Blow has a pro level set of legs but is lacking in arms.
Ex 2. Joe Blow gave a seminar and appeared at the Mr Podunk and did not interact well with most of the fans.
It is important to note, that you can be CRITICAL about some issue related to the sport, bodybuilders physique or conduct at a bodybuilding related event WITHOUT being a "hater" or negative.
Personal attacks are those that attack the charater or personal, private life of someone. Often these have little substance , are emotional in naure and lack substance.
1. Joe Blow is a queer and makes me sick.
2. Jane Doe sucks , I hate her and she sucks.
What some man or woman's adult sex life or habbits has to do with their status in bodybuilding is beyond me
A funny , clever, witty zinger is always cool, but ad naseum " he sucks, she sucks, you suck" etc does little more than take up board space and fails to convey any real message or information others can bennefit from here at GET BIG.
It just bugs me that some here feel I am being NEGATIVE and a "hater" when I crticize a bodybuilders physque or POLICY related to the rules of bodybuilding.
In the end I still remain clueless over the reason(s) or motivation for posting endless negative personal attacks. I would sincerely be GREATFUL if someone...anyone.. could explain THAT to me.
Thanks , Howard
