Thanks to the stupidity of some of the posts on this board, mainly the derogatory remarks made recently toward me and other serious female bodybuilders on this board. I think it is time I leave and take a break from here. Thanks to all my good friends here who have helped me out tremendously, encouraged me when I was ready to quit, and helped Mr. Guns through every bit of his cycles. Apparently 100mph mistakes this board for a sex site and cannot take a woman seriously who is here to get advice and grow without being harrassed. This is why you will not see a woman post her picture on this board. You guys critique each other with honesty and professionalism while at the same time letting your tongues hang out to the floor when a girl gets on here. Not only will I never post a picture on this board, I will no longer list posts on this board. Thanks to the likes of E2, Ranger, Buff, Macro and other vets for all your professionalism and massive amounts of help. We will keep in touch. To 100mph: What ever gave you the idea I would post that kind of picture? Not only does steroids raise your libido, it escalates your IGNORANCE!!!!!!! You wonder why you don't see posts anymore from a lot of people and why this board is ruled by newbies giving advice and asking the same questions? Because the truly dedicated and intelligent ones have left!!!!!!!!!! Me and Mr Guns will also be joining those ranks. Thanks, 100mph of stupidity!! Please take note that Texas Guns not only has a set of breasts, but owns a pretty large set of balls too!!! So long!! Mrs Guns IP: Logged |

Please don't let the thoughtlessness of some rob this board of two of its more interesting and intelligent members. In 100mph's defense, I think he had you mixed up w/ Y2Kylee, who had jokingly titled her GH post "wanna see my tits?". Hopefully, this was just a misunderstanding. IP: Logged |

Hey guns, I think I can speak for a bunch on the board when I say we don't want you to go on the count of a dumb remark. So if you don't mind please reconsider and stay with us. You are part of our family and families do have disagreements every now and then. And to 100mph.... Hey bro, you owe the lady an apology! IP: Logged |

Mrs. Texas Guns, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider your most unfortunate of decisions. But I must admit, I am a bit surprised. I had always thought you were much tougher than this. We have deleted 100mph's account and will work more closely with the Mods to keep the guys under control. I am also working to make WarLobo a monitor for the Women's board. Would you accept an offer to moderate this board as well? We definitely need more of a woman's touch around here. Please accept my apologies for the actions of some of our members. And please also remember that this board will only ever be as good as we choose to make it. ------------------ George George Spellwin

Texas Guns, that is very true. This place is a heaven for newbies that want to give out advise to atain guru status in their minds. Out of 100 posts maybe 5 have any use. Most members have not even completed puberty. This board will always remain below the rest. The only thing I like about it, the reason I'm here, is the monitors don't act like they are gods. UG and bolex are shit for that reason. The monitor delete what they cant debate and absolutly love all the attention they get from people sucking up to them. Most have pulled scams and have worked with scammers in the past. And when things calm down, they make up bullshit stories to get simpathy from the members. flame away. IP: Logged |

I apologize for my hesitant response, but to tell you the truth I was quite offended after not being able to get on the board for a few days and then when I do....BAM!!!!! Right between the eyes. Being that I am a respectable and mostly modest person, I take offense to graphic material when it is directed towards me. I wear my heart on my sleeve a lot of the time and don't forget that when you slam one of us, you slam us all. I am a very tough person and can hang with the big boys so I ask that you not treat me like a dollar dance sleeze and at least respect the fact I am someone's mother, someone's daughter, someone's sister, and especially, most importantly... someone's wife. Thank you for deleting the derogatory post and for all those who stand behind and support me and MR. Guns. Yes we are truly family. This is definitely something that has gotten out of hand.

I am getting sick of this. There are lots of idiots on this board just like in society. But we need to remember that they make up a small portion of the population. Guns, we've have agreed and disagreed in the past, even though we probably all agree on about 90% of lifes issues. Please, Guns and anyone else fed up with this, DON'T PLAY THE VICTIM, PLAY THE AGRESSOR!!!!!!! Don't let an idiot run you off, it only solidifies thier behavior. I say RUN THEM OFF OF OUR GREAT BOARD---That goes for overly agressive folkes, people w/<10 posts that flame others, and people giving out wrong or completely ignorant information. Maybe we can give penalties for bad behavior and police ourselves. I am not advocating being "politically correct", but we all know when someone is out of line. This "sticking your head in the sand" isn't the way to go. Come on people, we are a MUCH TOUGHER group than we think! RAGING BULL IP: Logged |

I don't think you should leave and it would be a tragedy if you did. No board is going to be perfect and neither is this world. You have to stand up to these assholes who talk shit. Out of the many at this board the most mean well and are not trying to put down women. I respect women who are bodybuilders a lot more because it is a very hard game and that is why there are not as many female bodybuilder. Your input is very important to this board and hope you reconsider. IP: Logged |

I know I'm going to get alot of disagreement with this post,this is just my opinion. Mrs.Guns, I truly hope you do not leave this board over one unfortunate comment whether it was a mistake or not.We are a family here and don't want to lose a member,but George, do you honestly think this is moderator caliber? What if Macro or E2 or Biz said they were leaving every time someone hurt their feelings. We wouldn't have much of a board. We need knowledgeable people that are dedicated to this board as mods. Just my opinion. IP: Logged |

this board has lost some good people the past week. we really need to find a way to better censor the posts before the board turns into trash. maybe a delay where as it goes through a moderator than gets posted? Maybe a test taht one neeeds to pass to be qualified to post answers but not questions? Mrs Guns I hope you do whats best for you and re consider but tdo understand. My roomate left the board this week for similar reasons but i still read it as i am trying to learn but i only ask questions never answer and always read. IP: Logged |

I agree Saint, I get hate email all the time for running this site, for marketing Mass Quantities supplements, for selling reports on Steroids, for charging too much for those reports, for not charging enough for those reports, the list is quite long. Imagine if I let it get to me and walked.  This site will be good if we want it to be good. I consider this site as much yours as mine. This is why elite is so appreciative of the hard work of our staff, Moderators, and members. I also think that we are doing a pretty good job making this site a place where discussions flow freely, there is no censorship, and the moderators do a very good job of keeping abusive behavior to a minimum. Everyone must remember how big a job this is given the traffic to this site. Currently, we are serving about 1,300,000 page views a month, so you can imagine the job that this is. But I really want a woman to moderate the women's board and I certainly did not ask Texas Guns, because she made the personal decision to tell us farewell. I appreciate her support in the past, and I think she could definitely help our women and men visitors. I also would love some help finding the appropriate mods for the Powerlifting board, the HIV board, etc. We are also thinking about a board for steroids used in other sports like Cycling, Swimming, Track, etc. And this board would have special requirements too. As always, everyone's comments are welcome. ------------------ George George Spellwin

Though I rarely post on sore subjects I felt this was one that I needed to. Both of your comments have been positive and often enjoyable.

Well I'm glad to see all of the support and you guys taking the time out of your lives to discuss the matter further before deciding on your fate. I really think you should take George up on his offer. It's not everyday you come in to contact with such a dynamic duo as yourselves. You both show the willingness to learn and the ability to communicate, which is rare. I personally think together or seperately you both can make great moderators. You show the maturity that so few, including myself at times, posses. If I've ever done or said anything you disagree with, let me know. I invite criticism and feedback, good or bad. Don't let the few bad apples spoil the whole bushel. Slim IP: Logged |

It is unfortunate that some individuals choose to act in such an offensive mannner.. but I think it is worse to let them get the best of you. This board has always had its ups and downs, and you basically have to suffer through them. When a difficult post arises, do your best to answer it... if a new guy comes on, by all means, introduce yourself to him or her...etc.. If you don't like what people are saying educate them! Sure, you can move over to Varix, but, believe me, it's not much different. Elite has good people and pretty damn good discussion (most of the times -hehe) IP: Logged |

It is truly sad that whatever was said offended you so deeply. I think that if 100mph or whoever it was had met you in person or was talking to you in person then it wouldn't have been said. It is easy to just make an offensive remark on a computer screen. It is relatively anonymous and you can basically say what you want. I hope this is a lesson to EVERYONE on this board that what you might think is funny might seriously offend someone else. I know there is a time for humor, there also should be a time to be professional. I think the women on this board should be treated with EXTREME respect. About 95% of this board (that is a guess) is probably male. The women on here are here to get EDUCATED just like you. They are not here to get hit on...think before you "speak". Ok I will get off of my soapbox. Platinum ------------------ IP: Logged |

I regret the fact that you have been hurt by the actions of someone on this board. It is because of women like you, that support thier husbands in thier quest to achive thier BB goals, as well as great advice from othrer Bro's, that gave me the confidence to talk to my wife about AS and share with her that I was about to start my first cycle. The knowledge I have gained from certain people on this board, as well as the archived post have made my transition into the use of AS easier, and safer than it would have been oterwise. Don't make us suffer because of the ignorance of one person. The knowledge you have, as well as the knowledge of others on this board, is a great tool for someone such as myself, to grasp a better understanding of how AS work, how to achive the best gains while on a cycle, etc., etc, etc,! You get the point. SO YOU TWO CAN'T GO!! OK! OK!!!!!!!!!! IP: Logged |

Dear Mrs.Guns, I have not logged on inthe last couple of days so I have no idea as to the post that affended you so highly! But i can say this with all scinserity( and this is NOT meant as a flame)when you enter this board you are entering a mans world! The rules of engagement between men are diffrent then the rules that are there between men and women! When one man insults another, the guy doesn't take his baseball and glove and go home,he digs in and takes another swing!I am not saying that you need to get into a war of words with 100mph,I am saying that life goes on. Yes I am sure that your husband is probably offended too! But once again, if you walk into a room with 500 guys and NO women that room has a different atmospher than a room that has women. You cannot expect guys to stop being guys,for the sake of a few women that have entered this board! If you want to be so sensitive then take up georges offer and moderate the womens board"gee,do these shorts match my top?" "I am having such a bad flow day!" "This girl in my office is such a bitch" These are the type of posts you will run into. What makes comeing to this board so much fun is the inter action between members,with total disreguard for the others feelings. Do not tell me that when I have flamed a few of our guests into little fried pellets, that you were not laughing! But apparently the barrels of the gun were turned on you this time and now you want to run! Whatever 100mph s comment to you was,and however much it offended you....it sounds like he won. Political correctness is the BANE of our society! And 100mph has has the right to act like a man infront of other men and in front of women. Harry Trueman said it himself(and would probably be sued for it today)"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." If you feel you must leave then leave, but there is no way in hell anything about this board should be changed just because you got your feelings hurt. THUS CONCLUDES MY LONGEST REPLY EVER IP: Logged |

I agree with what lot of people already stated earlier, BUT I strongly agree with Deepsquats long response. I feel that alot of people can be assholes, especially being a newbie to this board. Questions sound dumb and somtimes we are made fun of, but guys will be guys. If woman steps into a guys changing room, than a woman should not get offended by the words that are used. However, like everyone else stated 100mph may have said somthing that was not necessary. The one thing that we should remember is that we should show respect to not only women on this board but to all fellow members on this as well, weither we are males females or even monkies. Just to clearify things I agree with both parties cuz I have a mom and sisters, and if anyone every disrepected them, I swear I will rip there fuckin throats outs.

Y2Kylee, Hey, thanks for the clarification. Sorry it got out of hand. It was really offending to me after not being on the board for a little while and when I come back there's this huge post wanting to see my t**s? Whoa!! I fell to the floor. Nothing against you at all, just was upset that some horny idiot was so disrespectful. There's a difference between trash talk and completely disrespecting and degrading someone. He certainly crossed that line with me. I got a lot of favorable responses that helped me lick my wounds and go on. Glad to hear from you on this.
