I arrived on this board in November of 1998 it was much different then. I was off and on until 2003 when I was on alot more.
After countless times of reporting the outright racism and nothing being done about it, I'm done. It's ran its course. It's not about being able to take it or anything like that. There is a point in time when enough is enough. Nothing good comes out of all the hate and negative speech. I've tried to be a fighter against it and before I knew it, I was participating.

Contrary to popular belief, me getting "owned" had very little to do with it. Too much negative energy here. I've been on many bodybuilding boards since 98 and this board is the worst modded when it comes to hate speech towards blacks, browns, Middle Easterners (minus Jews) and Asians. It's unacceptable and one of the reasons many good people leave.

I wish all the people I had great times with the best.

Call it a meltdown or whatever. It's the truth.

I agree with you. For some reason it's okay to racially hate certain people....but not others. Some folks are allowed to say/post whatever they want, while others are punished over silly things (Peter McGough IS NOT FAT DAMMIT!). There's no consistency here with regards to modding......

Michale Jackson died from massive heart attack this morning. Authorities have released a statement saying that they will melt his body down and make plastic toys so kids can play with him for a change.

What sort of drugs was he into?

I bet he did everything under the sun.

Most here are too naive and too centered on banal mainstream musical pap to understand that the majority of pop music produced in the last 35 or more years is formulaic and bland, like the artists who create it. It's designed to appeal to the lowerst common denominator, because it's those masses who buy the most.

Then again if you're part of the unwashed masses, this hasn't occured to you...until now.

Great truths written here.

The racism is prevalent on most of the boards. The moderators may tolerate a little less, but then you find the posters becoming more devious with their "metaphors"

Most "Off Topic" sections have a predominant and recurring theme of racism. Obviously many folks deal with it differently.

This board doesn't force anyone to "sugar-coat" anything. In a way it is good, and in many ways it is bad.

The majority of people that post here are posting under facades. If they were judged accordingly, it would be a very small world.

I don't know you. I have been here for a long time also. I could understand taking a break. I do it often.

There are some very cool peeps here. It is my firm belief that the biggest assholes here are just kids. They don't think before they speak and they don't remember what they post. "In the moment" I suppose... surely there is a lot of intoxicated posting going on. Not many here can be taken seriously. The interweb is a great place for low self esteem to manifest itself as omnipotence.

Everyone has to try to grow up sometime.

Pink Floyd were musical geniuses - MJ had some good songs though

Arnold says:

“Today, the world has lost one of the most influential and iconic figures in the music industry. From his performances with the Jackson 5, to the premiere of the ‘moonwalk’ and ‘Thriller,’ Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of creativity.

"Though there were serious questions about his personal life, Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned generations and the globe. Maria and I join all Californians in expressing our shock and sadness over his death and our hearts go out the Jackson family, Michael’s children and to his fans worldwide.”
