While I think Obs is correct in many of his posts of past behaviors being somewhat "parrot" like in just repeating the same advice over and over going in the other direction is, as I see it, not useful.

Secondly, have the board now gotten so sensitive that feedback that is not directly encouraging should be stopped and considered trolling we have a real problem on our hands. I do apologize to the OP for using his post as an example, but the comments made by Redz was his subjective opinion based on what he saw, nothing more, nothing less. There is no need to get into an argument about it as personal views are just that. One could easily say, thank you for your input and move on, but instead, we are now focusing on some negativity that is, apparently, rampant because not everyone is kumbaya about every post made.
Never asked for fake compliments or encouragement. However, posting up two completely different photo's taken out of context to try and convince me that I gained fat and made no gains is not productive and I assume you know what you are doing and being a troll. Basically your calling me a liar based on a couple photo's which I provided. Getting in a fight about body fat %'s using an online photo comparison which is the most biased one I could find on google images is also non productive. Instead of saying something constructive and or offering advice you and that other guy chose to just try and tear me down. Your being a hater with nothing of value to add - hence being a troll.
