For all those that are serving and have served

The truly private sources are the bees knees. They dont advertise and generally are pretty fuckin awesome. Keeps them out of the spotlight of LE and me away from wire transfers. Completely off the grid. CIM everytime. The problem is when they capitalize on the private source moniker and use public avenues to advertise. Then they are trying to have their cake and eat it too. Either your private or your not. They cannot run from scrutiny and call themselves private when problems arise.

I fully agree!

Maybe I don't understand how it works then. It just seemed suspicious that even when it came to light that there might have been a source that was operating through pm on here, nobody was even remotely interested in looking into it. Because it didn't sound like they were from another board when you read the pm. Even though it may have been wrong to post a private message, it's been done before, and it still doesn't change what's in it.

The problem is you saw only the one PM. You didn't see what led up to it nor what came after it so you don't have any context whatsoever. If you know the context you know that source has never been selling here through PM

You do have a point, I don't know the context surrounding the pm.
At first the combo of the pm and the older thread did look suspicious, but as mentioned, there's nobody here claiming they got ripped off or any real evidence that they actually try to sell here.
I'd just hate to see the credibility of the forum go down the tubes and having long time, well respected members sourcing through pm would do just that.

I'm sure there are long time members sourcing in PM but nobody has done so for or on behalf of this one particular source. Anyone that claims to have been a rep or anything related to the source is lying. I've known some ppl to buy in bulk and resell the brand to ppl who don't have access to the source but that's not something the source promotes.

Man just read a little more of this thread. I didn't even know who chest Rockwell was.
I should get back to stressing over meso politics instead of local state and federal. That shits got me all worked up. For Fuck sake I live in a tiny ass little town and our Council election is coming up in November and I got some fuckers I need to replace

Fair enough.
It's still an unethical practice in my opinion. Because if that same thing is done in the open, that member is forever labeled as a rep or a shill.

I'm somewhere in the middle on the issue.

Rarely do I come on Meso anymore due to the inane bullshit that goes on. This thread is a prime example. The title of the thread caught my eye, but saw that it quickly eroded into a bitch fit not related to the opening title. Have fun guys, I'm too busy enjoying life to waste my energy engaging in winless battles.

I skipped the middle 12 pages...

personally, I think its OK for sources to talk about non sourcing topics with us, why shouldnt they? Was the OP here a shady rep or something? Is he selling the flaming flying dragon stuff by PM? is it " Gear of Thrones"

I don't see the issue of non related gear talk from a rep either but I think reps leaving their thread is frowned upon here and if that's been determined by the community long before I showed up it should be respected.

I'd guess @franchise24 knew how it was prior to making the choice.

Let me clear this up. The voices have been heard and things taken into consideration.

I reach out to Millard. And he responded. He agreed with many of the vets. Here but also said I can keep my log and post as long as I'm not advertising.

This wasn't even close to an advertisement. So as you can see just a bunch of men acting irrational rules or no rules. Including myself with some of my responses.

As men we have to draw a line rep or no rep between trying to advertise or solicit or just giving a heads up on a documentary. If read through this shit storm of a thread it really didn't require any response. Just hey watch this if you can.

And look at what it turned into.

I've been given a short leash. If I violated what Millard I talked about it will lead to either me being relegated to my source thread or a ban.

Since you apparently are above the established community "rules", those that we, as members, have put into place (not Millard)... I tend to believe your threads are exempt from those rules, as well.

Expect to see never ending shit posting on all of your threads that are unrelated to your bathtub brewer. It would be a nice start, and one that may mitigate the inevitable trolling, to change your status from "member" to "shill" or "rep"... I just want those who are following your log to know that it's done by a shill/rep for a bathtub brewer, and to take ALL results/feedback from your slutty posts with a grain of salt.

You're an idiot, at best. Also a liar and a whore. I want everyone else to know.

You should back up on the name calling. You don't know me. And my log is just as informative as yours. If not more informative to those that Powerlift.

Maybe if read the log and saw how I speak more about changes in technique than anything else then post my workout. You'd change your narrow minded way of thinking.

I guess training with a Hall of Powerlifter coach is shitty. I guess meeting and training with Layne Norton is also shitty get a life bro.

I had the videos up of training sessions with Layne and a few other training sessions.

You're real salty. And it's a good try at baiting me to defend the lab a rep for out of my source thread.

Try again brother I wasn't born yesterday. I've encountered worst people in the world with better tactics.

I know you are a pig, that is enough.

You know absolutely nothing about me. If you did you wouldn't acting like a high school girl. Or groupie right now your my number one groupie.

My gut instinct is you are mostly that, "nothing".... I imagine you're probably a failure at most things, and are having money issues. You knew the community would reject you as a rep, so you lied and made a new handle. You were too dumb to avoid getting caught. You also claim you don't need the money, which is fucking hilarious. No one, ever, would rep an illegal drug operation as a hobby!

I have a feeling you cannot support your habits, live a shitty life and generally lack a moral compass.

But you're right, I don't know you. I know enough to know I would loath you.

So how about this so we could put all your feminine feelings to bed. Pm me like a man. Maybe you might be in my neck of the woods sometime. I'll have over for dinner, take you to the gym train at. It's too easy.

Far from struggling for money. Failed at my career didn't happen. Failed my first go around at the course I volunteered for but made the second time.

Failure breeds success in those that are resilient. Again you are speculating. And right now are all caught up in your feelings like a chick with no date on prom night.

Ha, to ever imagine being forced to eat a meal next to you, and worse yet train with you... I'd rather put my dick in a blender.

Why would I PM you? I have nothing to say to you in private... Also note, you never PM'd me, like a man...?

"Failure breeds success" LOL, I love when people who obviously have failed at everything spew out their little phrases of inspiration. *barf*

Bro you couldn't come close to the things I did before I retired. Take care my man. Retired at 37 served numerous tours. And did things only a hand full would volunteer to do.

Take care and have a great day, life, week month year.
