I agree that Block would get over the top at times, but what about Special Ed? He, (although snarky at times), was always civil, at least as far as I could tell.
And as far as the libel is concerned... the people that were being slandered by Block, only needed to come on here and tell all of Getbig that he is full of shit. Problem Solved. Also...it wouldn't hurt for some of the bigger names in the NPC/IFBB to actually field questions from the peanut gallery, as it would create far more transparency and I think that most people would respect them, if they were candid, about hard questions.
Not all of us have the luxury of going to expos and talking to people one on one. I have met many pros over the last few years, and I have no problem speaking my mind to any of them, should the need ever arise, but I also live in Venice, and have been around the scene, and have been able to do so.
I agree that many people on here are too negative, but suppressing what they have to say is only compounding the problem in my opinion. The cream tends to rise, and allowing the board to self-moderate, (for the most part), seems best to me.
That said..... I respect RON, for not deleting what I said, and taking the time to discuss my points
