i see this forum and others like it as an unique place for bodybuilders. We come here and share knowledge about working out, nutrition, and different types of supplementation, legal or not, and sometimes even more. People share pictures and stories, and even sometimes feel the need to just come here and shout their troubles. That is all wonderful. But i see these places turning into some kind of sick support groups. Everyone's ego must be cherished and protected it seems. And anyone...i mean anyone, no matter what his status on the forum is, can be seen as a flamer and treated as one.
I see no more honesc opinions. I see small fat guys posting pics of themselves and everybody tells them they've got "a good base". These same guys use big amounts of AAS with no results to speak of. None whatsoever. Fat guys who've been 3 months on steroids and have dropped 3% bodyfat get congratulations like "great progress". The only thing that comes to my mind is "moron, stop using steroids because you're gonna fuck yourself up and end up nowhere". That can be written like this
"friend, you don;t need steroids as you can lose weight with a sound workout and diet plan"
but how do we end up with:
"great work man...you've got a good base there and have done some great progress lately"
I mean what are these boards turning into...support groups for bodybuilders who aren;t really bodybuilders and can't make gains? Those same bodybuilders have such frail egos that they see any criticism as a FLAME and start shouting for the mods. And so does everyone around them, who seem even more concerned about these people's frail egos.
Are bald people in support groups really proud of being bald? Are fat people in support groups for fat people really proud of being fat? No....they will never accomplish that. So why would a support group for shitty bodybuilders make them feel less shitty about themselves? I mean how does a guy who has done 5 cycles (there are pictures of him at the member's pictures area) and to the normal man doesn;t look like he has even touched a weight in his life feel? I think he's one insecure "bodybuilder" who will probably only increase dosages and end up nowhere.
I say let's stop patting each other's fat bellies and, if honesc criticism is considered a FLAME, let's start FLAMING people. It will help them a lot more than the dishonest cudos do.
