Only one I have ever met was Art Atwell. Okay I have very wide shoulders... but his chest almost as deep as my shoulders are wide!!
Damn I can't imagine seeing some of these other guys!!!
We is the only IFBB to come out of WI...oh well...only 100 more lbs and I can do it.

I'm with Will on this one. There will always be assholes in any walk of life and BB isn't any different. I will add this; there is a definite difference between the old timers and the new guys. It could be the perspective of age but even when they were young dudes, guys like Draper and Scott were real gentleman and extremely humble about what they did. It probably comes from the fact that bodybuilders were "outsiders" back then and today some of them think they're superstars.
I should also say that even the bodybuilders I know who are degenerate pricks are alter boys compared to the owners of most supplement companies.

Let me rephase that: ..."some" supplement companies.

I went to the 94 and 95 Olympias in Atlanta, so I got to meet quite a few. The ones that stood out were: Paul Dillett, because he was an asshole; Vince Taylor, because he was so nice; Dorian, because he was so thick; and Victor Richards, because he had nothing to say when I called him out on that 20,000 calories a day bullshit he was spouting at that time.
Victor Richards never said he ate 20,000 cal a day. That was a myth that was started by a mag. Richards says he eats around 7000-8000 calories a day and I believe him.
I met Tom Platz and Danny Padilla about 10 years ago when they were promoting IcoPro and they were both very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help me with training advice and everything.

King Kamali, Lee Priest and Jack Lalanne - the Godfather of modern fitness equipment.
Kamali and Priest were at 2002 Emerald Cup doing the schmooze thing, so we sidled up talked for a few minutes, had the obligatory pics taken and moved on.
Jack I met on a plane ride at the ripe age of 86. Remember he still does strength and endurance feats even at his age (i.e. towing 72 barges across the bay for his 72nd birthday, etc). We talked for the 40 minute ride and I came away with some of the best advice in my life in two quotes from him (remember he's still big, muscular and tough even at his age).
They were:
Fitness is King
Solid Nutrition is Queen
Without both, your kingdom will fall.
2) If man made it - don't eat it.
With few exceptions since I started training 2 years later (this was 5 years ago), my regular diet is all natural - sans preservatives, etc.
