I cant help but shake my head while i watch you all bicker and call each other names.
What we as a community ought to be doing is helping one another. Be supportive, offer advice and encouragement, listen, offer insight and knowledge and seek the same.
Personally I want every poster on this forum to be doing as good as possible. I can only hope you all feel the same
Well said. I couldn't agree more with this. What advice would you suggest someone offer their "friends" on Getbig who are so caught up in this fight that they are reduced to personal insults because they have nothing else to offer to support their opinions?
Over the last 20 years that I have been a member of Getbig, I have never seen animosity at this level which involved so many people. Presidents and their regimes will come and go and we'll be left with the ruins of our own making. Long after this political fracas has played out, many of us will have done irreparable damage to our relationships with one another and to Getbig. Just so you know, I am every bit as guilty of stirring the pot as any of you are. I've tried my best to avoid personal attacks but I have failed at this far too often.
I want it all to be done and put behind us so that we can get back to the joys and benefits of bodybuilding and 'getting big'. How did Getbig become morphed into a hostile political forum? How did the people of our wonderful country become so hateful and violent towards one another? It has got to end or it will end us. For cripes sake, there has even been talk of another civil war in this country. There have been more guns sold since the onset of Covid and this year's hostile political scene then ever before. Please, let's all of us just dial it back a bit before we are no longer able do that.
I have grown to like an appreciate so many folks here for the good people who they are, whether I agree with their politics or not. I was about to name them and decided not to for fear there would be repercussions against them for my having called them friends (that's how bad this has become), but let's just say we (my friends and I) don't always agree and it is okay. Most of us can get past it. Those of you who think you can't, actually can. Give it a try. I dare you.
Peace be with you.
