I am disturbed by the increasing number of hostile, disrespectful, and vulgar replies given to questions asked on the board in the past few days. I have been a contributing member of this board off and on for the past 4 years. In that time I have made many friends, and continue to meet great people every day. I have done my very best to lend my experience as a learning tool for others......from my failures and my success. Telling someone to "fuck off" or resorting to slander has never been the way of this board or its members. This is far from the cohesive brotherhood that we should have. The next time you are thinking about posting a reply like that, I ask that you find another forum for your ignorance. For those of you who have received these replies, I urge you to not let one person set a negative tone for your experience here.......there are many of us that will help you.

Keep in mind though......this is in no way an excuse to ask me how to stack 3 amps of sust and a drop of Deca

I agree man. It just doesnt make an sense for someone to fly off the handle and use profanity at someone because they asked a question.

AMEN, Thats why I havent been posting much latley. There seems to be too many experts with something to prove. I not talking about people like E2, MP, and such. Im talking about the guy with 30 posts(probably because he has 100 diff names) that knows everything and has to prove it by being a schmuck. He very well may know alot but with only 30 posts how do I know that?
The only thing I know for sure about this game is that nobody knows everything. Sure as hell not me. So lets disagree but at least be civilized about it!

I agree, but I have been known to flame someone for doing just that. What personally irks me is when someone asks a legit question and someone responds with no knowledge to the answer of the question and tells this person he is stupid, or refers to a group of people as being stupid. Or the hypocrit that comes on a DRUG board and has the nerve to bash other DRUGS!!! I'm not here to push my moral or social values on anybody, or flame you for what you do, but to help inform you and let you draw your own conclusions.

Kudos to you SSMAN, i'm fairly new to the board but i've been in the 'roid game for several years now. Yet i definetly don't know everything about it. Sometimes i'll have a question or like an opion and it kills me when some greenhorn prick responds like everyone should know the answer.We're all brothers here, lets treat each other as such.

glen......you're exactly the type of person I'm talking about. People tend to get very brave when they are only facing a computer screen and typing.......but this forum is not an outlet for your own personal issues. That's what counseling is for. I'm sure you're the walking bible of steroids and training, so you don't need any input. But for the rest of our newbies, try to find an ounce of class.

Glen, you may want to devote the time you spent flaming me to studying the English language.....just a thought.

I'm glad you guys are working to make the board better - but I just thought I would stop in on this thread, as a new visitor to this board, to say that this is the best damn board I've been on. Guys seem to be really helpful, and the moronic newbie posts are not as frequent as they are elsewhere.

Good idea to go easy on us newbies though, some questions may be stupid but not all are!!!

I'm glad I found this place. The UG board has gone all to hell...

I am a newbie to the board but not to the world and I agree with you. You can learn something from everyone, even if it is to not do what they have done.....This is a great board and we all have the same goal...so let's flame when needed, but keep it clean....

Good post SSMAN,
I agree totally, and Slim brought up a good point as well. We all make our own choices whether it's AS or drugs or whatever. We all need to respect the fact that we all have our own opinions and we should also respect others' choices even if we don't agree with them.

Good post ssman.
I wasn't on the board this weekend and when I came back last night I was completely taken back by the responses people were leaving to posts and each other. Half of the ones I read just turned into a word fight instead of an answer to a question.
I to was going to post something about this if it continued, it is good to see that alot of us agree and the ones who are doing it should take this thread as a hint.

JUST A BUNCH OF UNEDUCATED PEOPLE TRYING TO POST THEIR 2 CENTS AND INSULT A FUTURE STAR IN OUR GREAT SPORT. TO TELL A MAN TO "FUCK OFF," IS LIKE KICKING HIM SQUARE IN THE NUTS. THEY DO NOT SHOW RESPECT AND THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BOARD BY ONE OF OUR GREAT MODERATORS. GIVE A BUMP FOR THE GUYS THAT LIVE ON THIS BOARD TO HELP OTHERS ACHEIVE THEIR DREAMS.

THANKS GUYS YOU DO NOT GET ENOUGH OF THEM.

You know my position on all of this....and I know that a post is made along these same lines every few months. When I started this thread I said I have been on this board off and on for more than 4 years. I tend to stray when I see more importance placed on hostility and vulgarity than the increase and sharing of knowledge. I'm not a moderator or the anabolic god.....so when things take that path, I turn my back because it's beyond my control. I honestly feel that we have the best group on this board that I have ever had the good fortune of being involved with. Our moderators are nothing short of amazing and our members are walking databases of knowledge and experience. Let's try our best to keep them here by showing them the respect they deserve
