Describe how bodybuilding forum/internet negativity has affected your life...

[MONSTER_TRICEPS]

So i guess this means "no one" has you by the balls? 

[BayGBM]

Meeting with a rather soft spoken but very large someone this past Friday made me realize (once again) how disruptive the negativity on the internet can be...

Through the years I've posted on various forums; cars, tech, conspiracy theories, planes even stormfront (curiosity) etc...

Never any of them got any close to bodybuilding forums when it comes to drama & hatred... my theory is bb attracts insecurity, display of attention, jealousy; after-all, the state in which ones body is,  very personal; often the willingness to change what he/she doesn't like is strictly based on insecurity, loaded with emotions... 

Discuss...

Ditto.  I post on car forums, education forums, tech forums, real estate forums, investing forums, and only on bodybuilding forums do you see people act out the way they do here.  The reason is clear:  lots of insecure men/boys are drawn to this sport.

if "he" wants it to be.... "he" can grab whatever he wants.... hope he grows out of his insecurity, I truly wish him the best.

How about MusselWeek?

Jason has always been quite the story teller; makes it interesting. The negativity eventually gets old although most of it is based on facts..

That is ironic given how many people have moderator status on this board, don't you think?

But Earl's right... getbig jumped the shark mainly for that very reason, hey I'm to blame for lots of it... but having kept the personal attacks off the main boards, many poster would've stuck around...

We got a 17 over here

at least you acknowledge it. you got owned and like a crybaby spread personal info around and in the end dave's girl was getting calls so he left. you then filled the vacuum left by the departure of a getbigger you will never have 10% the kudos of with shit, unfunny threads. when that didn't work you set up your own forum that you also filled with shit, unfunny threads that nobody read so you came back here and now post shit, unfunny threads.

 Bro, why don't you post here every day and turn this place around? Don't lurk in the shadows, come proudly out of the closet.

Agreed, and did Alex meet Noone or something?What did I miss?

[johnnynoname]

I miss Squadfather and wished he would still post her


.....i don't care for pugalist666 though- he can stay gone

[Alex23]

Agreed, and did Alex meet Noone or something?What did I miss?

unfortunately, he did not show up and broke his promise. But I forgive him, I'm sure he has his reasons.

He seems like a knowledgeable guy, he could if wanted to help others instead of constantly attacking others he feels threaten by; ironically similar to the way "Dave" acted, Although big Dave had the balls to post pictures which gained him some respect.

I mock but eschew personal attacks.  PA usually come from a place of insecurity.

This place sucks...ill be gone soon...I can feel it coming

[johnnynoname]

This place sucks...ill be gone soon...I can feel it coming

I wouldn't blame you for leaving

this place is really turning to a meeting ground for really boring trolls to meet and spam this place with horrible posts

I'd name names but why bother....the shitty posters are well aware that they suck

[Firemuscle]

 What really sucks about this place?

 I think it's just fine. What would you like to be different here?

I think he was describing you.

 Well he definitely wasn't describing your Mom. Otherwise he would have used the words "stank pussy".

You say the same dumb shit on here, day in and day out. It wasn't funny then and it's not funny now.

The "golden age" of getbig is truly upon us.

 Well, I see you here a lot, but you never write anything interesting or memorable.

 You're just some dull and boring poster here. You don't add anything to this forum. If you disapearred now nobody would remember you. At least people here know me.

 Seems like you are talking big about how bad this forum is, but you aren't contributing a damn thing to it either. I'm right aren't I?

I have to agree with you.  I have to laugh about the education forums...gotta love the gripe in LA right now about teachers and their spouses opting out of insurance-who cares?  I do it, it's negotiated into our contracts.  Just like certain agencies have riders that let the covered people get breast augmentation and hair transplants-I think the taxpayers should learn just what goes into education and what the government puts on teachers but it wouldn't help since most people are filled with schadenfreude!!!
