1. I gave Twisted Steele to Cmass only after he complained domestic sources were to high.

2. I had used him once and recieved in a very timely manner, and the order was much more than his.

3. Instead of following directions, Twisted Steele sent the money through the mail, and in this country whose income is far less than ours. What do you think customs did when they opened the package? Yup, they took the money.

4. Though I do not feel responsible at this point I felt obligated, so I sent, out of my own pocket, 8 1/2 pounds of protein powder, 1 bottle of Z Mass, 2 bottles of Melatonin to Cmass to sell so he could fill this order.

5. I offered to give Twisted Steele what Gear I had, and when he got his order he could pay me back.

I assumed this was taken care of after the last post, I see it was not.

I have never been a source, nor will I. I have on more than one time given my Iron Brothers free " things " simply because I had them, and they needed them. I never asked for payment simply because I considered them friends, and in my life....I've not had many.

I extended this same opportunity to Twisted Steele, and or his rug munching brother if he actually has one....never an answer one way or the other, and yes, I do have several of the e-mails saved to show that I indeed tried to help.

I have given many Brothers on this board their way of obtaining certain items, and I do mean MANY! Never once a problem. I have helped several Brothers avoid being scammed and those who thought they were, recieve their goods....I have always backed those who have been scammed, and I will back Twisted Steele if he was in fact scammed...

However, my Iron Brothers....due to the accusations, I now feel my reputation is damaged beyond repair, and can no longer furfill the requirements of Moderator status, nor that of a participant of this board or any other for that matter. I am gone.

I will close out my e-mail accounts today, I am truly sorry it has come to this. It has gotten out of my control Bro's. Well Twisted, you may get that Moderator job yet...eh??? Just remember how you got it Bro....

Peace and dreams to the rest of my Iron Brothers....talk hard....grow huge. We shall meet again in the Halls of Valhalla!!!!

Train hard or go home!

Although I don't post here very much, I read almost everything on this board. In my opinion, your reputation isn't even tarnished. Your history is clear, and those that matter know it. Who gives a rat's ass if some malcontent mouths off? You do a damn fine job, create some really great and inspirational poetry, and are a positive influence on a lot of brothers out here in the real world.

Don't let this crap get to you. You're too valuable to lose.

Don't forget we have to scare the school children bro...

We all know you're a good bro. And you're a tough mofo. But this seems out of character for you... You're going to take off over a little conflict? Huh???

You've obviously taken this to heart, but trust me, you're making way too big a deal about how people perceive you. There's two sides to every story and your side sounds pretty reasonable to me. I'm betting it will to the other bros as well.

Chances are, if things are as you described, things will settle down and work themselves out.

hope to see you posting and Modd'ing things around here for a while longer.

I'll bump ya!

Cheers!

I don't think your rep has been damaged bro. You are too respected for 1 minor incident like this, especially since it's was NOT you that was the direct problem and you still tried to make everything right.

The only way bro's here see you is, as a stand-up guy and one fine bro.

Now, stay around or me and a bunch of other bro's will have to come down there and FORCE MARCH you back to your computer. j/k

YOU CAN NOT LEAVE!!! I have stuck around here through Theron, and many other stupid people just in hopes I could catch a great post. The Best have always been from you. I come here for motivation much more than for Anabolics, and no one, NO ONE, motivates better than you.
I was ready to board a plane to help you when you were stabbed, many of us were. So now repay that support and stay with us.

Please.

"Obsession is passion. Use it. Make it your strength." -by Puc

Your staying, whether ya like it or not! j/k

Do what you think is best bro, but I for one think you should stay. Conflicts come and go, but heroes fight on regardless.

Besides you remind me too much of my brother that I haven't seen in 7 years.

Take care,

cause you "ain't" going anywhere.

DOGGY

PLEASE DON'T GO! THE BOARD NEEDS GUYS LIKE YOU. DON'T LET ONE INCIDENT MESS UP A GOOD THING.

If this is your final decision though, I wish you luck in all your endeavors. Your a good bro.

We all know you are good.

Your kidding right bro? Come on now...

Drop me a line if your serious Id hate to lose what I have considered for the past year a friend and an inspiration. [email protected]

I have been pretty active in the board over the past few months. I have also called upon you personally for some help with certain AS/Gear related issues. In my opinion your assistance and support has been outstanding. You are by definition a MODERATOR for the younger, less informed, infact more expericenced bro's alike. Your leaving this board is in my opinion a MISTAKE and a great loss for all the brothers. I ask you to think this through. As attested to by the response of the bro's on this thread your reputation remains impecable. If you chose to move on anyway, I wish you much luck and renewed good health in getting over your back surgery. I was scheduled to have a pec tendon reattached last Monday but it was postponed for a week, so I know that injury can make a bro a bit down. Don't let it, especially during your recovery, I believe the board is a great place to bide your time while you heal and add value to this board. If nothing else I personally appreciate all your help and although we never met, if your ever in New York City let me know, I consider you a brother.

His greatest contribution,
To those hard and callused hands.
Was when a Brother was scammed,
He backed his fellow man.

Yes, this is our Iron Brother,
Who lived his life with strife.
He served the Iron Throne,
And sacrificed his life.

Now, I am being villified for watching my own back and that of my families. The simple fact of the matter is that CONCRETE_MASS "Salah Eldin Gaheny,
8 Marghany St.Heliopolis,Cairo Egypt" not Twisted_Steel has marred your reputation.

I will not appologize or concern myself with the emotional cries. Im simply interested in facts, and seeing that the 5-6 people currently being screwed by this individual see this situation come to a favorable conclusion.

So for the NARROW MINDED JACK ASS WHO WISHED TO KNOW WHAT I HAD TO SAY FOR MYSELF; ENJOY!

215LBS of Twisted Steel and Pure Sex Appeal!

DONT YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING THIS BOARD OR YOUR BROTHERS!!
SINCE THE DAY I FIRST CAME TO THIS BOARD YOUVE BEEN LIKE MY BIG BROTHER BRO, AND THATS NO LIE. I DONT HAVE ALL THE INSIDE INFO ON WHATS TRANSPIRED BETWEEN YOU AND T.S. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU YOUR REPUTATION IS FINE. YOU ARE THE CORE OF THIS BROTHERHOOD BRO, THE DRIVING FORCE, AND A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME AND MANY HERE.
FOR YOU TO LEAVE WOULD BE NOTHING SHORT OF WRONG, AND BE DEBILITATING TO THIS FORUM.

DAMMIT BRO...CALL OR ICQ ME, WE CAN SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL, BUT KEEP YOUR ASS HERE, WE ALL NEED YOU!!!

YOUR BROTHER,
WCP

I lose net access for over a week and I come back to this....I hope you reconsider Bro
