Great to join, here, i was a member of another popular site for sometime and recently was banned. A Moderator had some degree of authority and seemed to routinely disagree with my posts. I think it is important to be truthful and open up your opinion as well. Heated debate is not seen to be so objectionable. When things become nasty and personal of course they do. My views were almost set apart from the majority so my views were often put down. Sometimes the critics, would become personal. Nothing would be said unless i spoke out against it. I feel a little like a refugee. But, i am starting to believe it is better for me to be away from a place where i was really unwelcome. This site is a whole new place that i am going to try to learn about. I respect the members here and will always be a decent person, of course. But, i will not surrender my opinion to conformists. I am glad to be here!!!  |

Welcome to a great place to learn and grow Will. Your story sounds a bit familier to me but that is in the past. I am sure it has happened, but I have never seen a heated thread on this board. Everyone here respects each other and their views. It's great, you'll enjoy it.

What a wonderful gang!!! Thanks to you all. I really feel great to receive your kind welcome!!! (I competed in the NABBA Amateur Universe in '85 and '86 as a Canadian short class---i am 5'6") I love bodybuilding and i am looking forward to re-capturing my training far better, and including my new 'home' here!! The Bodybuilder is the ultimate Artist!! I do not consider our endeavour as a 'sport'. I believe it is both an art and a life-style. When i think of a 'sport' i think of a 'game' and we exceed that concept significantly!!! |
