Karius - ALP / BAL Lists -

I did not say the products gave him gyno, I said that his pct with k orals ended in gyno surgery. It did. Maybe it wasn't the orals, but you are the semantics king so surely you can appreciate the difference in my verbiage.

This was your original complaint, which was interpreted by many to mean that K's products caused JB to need gyno surgery. However, K's product didn't cause JB to need gyno surgery. This was re-posted on several forums and believed to be true because as I said before, users here generally assume that every source is a con-man and everything a user who frequently posts says is instantly believed to be true without question.

Labmax was done after 200 mg a day anadrol no effect, 4 cialis chewed no effect and a friends pct is ending in gyno surgery.

We also discussed this at length both on the open board and via pm... as far as the ban comments I admitted these were baseless comments uttered in a rage.

I'm not bringing this up to beat a dead horse. It's relevant to the conversation I'm having with Millard and his portrayal of me being anti-free speech. Millard is basically saying that I'm against people leaving feedback. I'm not, I expect the feedback to be honest though. You're a leader here, whether you want it or not, so you have to be responsible about what you're saying because people trust you.

You investigated me? And? No time to actually state that I am not a child molester? Or would you like my government name and social security number to be sure?

I've seen as much evidence that you are a child molester as I've seen that IM is a scammer, gay, and works for K, none. What are you guys going to make up to make the other look bad next? I do not know who you are. I didn't track you down. IM responded to my PM before I got that far. He said he had no evidence you were a child molester, which was good enough for me. I don't look at people unless unless there is a good reason to.

I am amazed you have taken these comments so far out of the context of events that had transpired since. You told johnny that K said he emailed us or pm'd us or whatever- and he fucking didn't. We pm'd him AND emailed- then YOU said you would speak with him... in that convo you had he said he had emailed us, but NOPE. Still nothing... and eventually complaints that files were attached to the last email and that is why there was no response. Apparently the first few contacts were insufficient- how many times do you need to contact k with issues to get a response? Apparently we don't have the tenacity required to hound him to the extent a response is warranted.

What is being taken out of context? I'm directly addressing exactly what you've said.

When I noticed all of this was going on I contacted you guys and contacted K about your order. He said you guys had sent an email that had attachments that he didn't respond to and that was the source of the communication problem. He said he would process a refund for you guys and email you a month ago. According to what you're saying, he never emailed you guys, however he did offer you guys a refund and told me he would email you.

Have you guys made any effort to contact K since we last spoke? What's with the charade where you pretend you don't know how to get in touch with K? You were in his feedback thread antagonizing our staff, you were receiving an official response, and you left the conversation. I'm not going to play telephone between you guys. If you don't want to contact him anymore because your original email was ignored because it contained attachments, that is your choice. If you make a real effort and really can't get in touch with K, then get back to me and I'll contact him on your behalf, again.

Do you not realize that I will help you get a refund if that's what you want? I'm confused about whether or not you even want a refund because JB mentioned something about only requesting a refund if the products tested poor. Do you guys want a refund?

You know what I got out of this? A complete lack of respect for all parties involved. I have never heard so many threats, double talk pm one way back stab on the open board bullshit in my life. I will reiterate that I am AMAZED you have forgotten the subtle nuances of things and events that transpired since the intial issue and now you have come full circle and approached this like a case manager dealing with a medicaid patient- customer service? Fuck the customer! If you don't take the tone we want and address the issue the way we want we will embark on a multi month mission to discredit you and embellish your shortcomings. Bravo. You have accomplished that company mission w ith aplomb.

You generally do not treat people with respect to begin with, so the fact that you don't respect me isn't at all surprising. You lied about the gyno and you lied and said we would ban you and delete your feedback. Insulting my teammates and our board wasn't relevant to “product feedback” and didn't improve your situation. Had you simply stuck to a product complaint instead of antagonizing us and making up problems that don't exist I would be fine with your feedback.

Please quote the “threats,” “double talk pm,” and “board backstabbing.”

Since this started I've evaluated your claims, some of which are not true, some of which are inconclusive at this time. I spoke to K on your behalf and he offered you guys a refund. I encouraged you guys to test the products. I also checked to see if K would fund the testing you want to do, which K declined do to the way you treat people. I encouraged you guys to get your refund and then use those funds to conduct the tests too. You were welcomed to post your feedback where K's clients would see it. I'm not really sure what else you expect? I can't say your claim is “correct” or “right” any more than I can say the product you received was in fact “good.”

I find it hypocritical you're mad about IM calling you a child molester because it isn't true, yet you are upset because I criticized you for saying things that aren't true. So, when someone makes something up about you that isn't true, it's a problem, but when you make things up, that should be forgotten when you say so.

What were the results of your child molesting investigation again? I missed that part.

I'm not aware of your criminal history at this time. If you want me to verify your history and state weather or not you were ever convicted of a crime against a child, I will, let me know.

I also clarified the comment brutus made about the gyno surgery pretty quick so it wouldn't be misconstrued.. With everything that's happened in this thread I don't see why you needed to mention it 6 times in your post!! I thought we already killed that issue after you brought it up a month ago..

Thanks for the kind words though..

It's relevant to the conversation I'm having with Millard and not directed at you guys, even though Brutus is taking it that way. The embellishment was posted by Brutus and has nothing to do with you at all as far as I'm concerned. I think you feel the product you received is poor and want to know what's in it. I really haven't seen you lash out at our staff or K. I have no gripe with you running your tests and posting the results. You would have been better off going at this alone.

It is honestly a lesson in the swift repercussions of going against the grain. Challenging the status quo in ways that might affect someone's cash flow are met with amazing acts of slander and demoralization. Fuck 'em though. As Popeye said (says) "I am what I am" or somerhing like that.

By slander, demoralization, and swift repercussions of going against the grain do you mean that I criticized the things you said that you admitted are not true?

I'm not against your product feedback but you don't seem to understand that product feedback doesn't mean making things up that aren't true in an effort to antagonize people. I'm not against you saying anything that is true.

Do you really believe - that I don't care about the truth, that I make no fact-finding effort, that I don't care about those who spend time investigating and seeking the truth - simply because I support an uncensored forum?

Or is there some other explanation for these accusations? Is it the reaction to your perception that I am somehow "condemning" you for investigating/seeking the truth?

Maybe you are missing the point of uncensored forum. It IS the very process by which fact-finding efforts are made to determine the truth.

Or maybe you just don't agree or don't like it. That is fine. Maybe you don't think it is the most efficient way to do it. That is fine too.

Do you think it would be good if someone would spend the time to investigate all the claims and go back and censor anything that they determine is untrue? Or ban those with questionable motives? Or at the very least, provide a summary of the fact and the fiction in this thread so that exceptionally busy people won't have to read the entire thread in order to make their own determinations?

Who should we trust to do this? Me? You?

Who will be the arbiter of truth? And why should anyone trust them?

I understand your complaint that there will be bad actors in an uncensored forum. But just the same, there will be bad actors with questionable motives in traditional forum hierarchies where admins/mods seek to be the arbiters of truth.

This forum is for critical-thinking individuals who like to evaluate evidence for themselves and make their own decisions. It may be a lot more work than forums where people can have the truth delivered through a "trusted" hierarchy of individuals.

But the uncensored forum is a preferred model for many people.

My criticism is based upon your replies that portray me as some kind of enemy of free speech, when really my argument is that I don't like people making things up as they go along to abuse each other because it's counterproductive. Conclusions are often drawn from evidence-less claims on the weight of someone's reputation alone, for that reason, I expect people to stick to the truth. I don't make things up about people or lie to discredit people. I give the truth and expect it in return. I don't have time to read 45 pages of nonsense about a single order, but at the same time, I can't ignore people saying things that aren't true about something I'm somewhat responsible for. If getting on someone about lying means I'm an enemy of free speech, well, I guess I'm an enemy of free speech and you are defending deception. I have never requested that any posts or feedback be amended here, nor have I ever amended any feedback on any other board I'm a part of. I want you to not give me flack for doing what I'm supposed to do because you want to defend everything your guys say, even if what's being said is not true, under the guise of “free speech.” Every other board besides Meso isn't infringing on a user's freedom to say what they want. Every other staff besides yours isn't corrupt.
Lets clear the air about what's happening here.

Two guys who know each other on the street claim five products they received are unsatisfactory. This claim is suspicious because no other clients have complained about anything. If five products are in fact less than what they should be, staff members expect complaints from several clients that do not know each other on the street. Brutus embellished, bent the truth, or lied depending on how you see things because he was “mad” when leaving his original “product feedback,” per his own admission. K and our staff never abused the clients despite being abused by Brutus. As I've said before, guys here generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat because they don't know any better. K acknowledged there could have been a problem with the products the clients complained about and said if there was a problem, it wasn't intentional. K never refuted their claim of the products being less than what they should be. Instead, he encouraged them to test the products to see for themselves. Had Brutus been polite, K would have likely paid for the tests the clients want to run. He offered the clients a refund a month ago. Due to K ignoring an email the clients sent that contained attachments, the clients appear to be making no further effort to contact K. I'm not sure if they are paranoid about getting a refund because of what guys who do not represent our staff or K have said, or if they are waiting for their test results, or if they even want a refund. The offer to refund them was made a month ago and at that time K told me he would email the clients but the clients say K didn't email them. Brutus knows he can get in touch with K by posting in K's feedback thread because he was being officially replied to in that feedback thread, until he left abruptly, after he portrayed our staff and board as being corrupt and said that we ban people for poor feedback and delete feedback, which he later admitted isn't true. I've never amended someone's feedback or deleted feedback. I've only banned one person for leaving negative feedback since becoming a staff member and that was because that person claimed the source would intentionally put poison in his reshipment in an effort to kill him, which is ridiculous accusation and level of abuse that I wont tolerate. In this case, my teammate Myo and I encouraged the clients to leave feedback where K and his clients would see it. No one's feedback has being suppressed.

There isn't much verifiable evidence on either side regarding the products being what they should be or poor.

One of the products in question was sent by another client to estacydata before this complaint was received and that product tested favorably. There is evidence that single tablet, from another client, was good per estacydata. K did not submit that product for testing as the clients believed.

K was sending off some products for Mass spec tests the last time I checked. I have no idea what those results are because I haven't checked. Those results, good or bad, don't hold much weight as far as I'm concerned because they are unverifiable.

The clients claim that they are going to send the products off for mass specs instead sending them to estacydata, which is verifiable. The original complaint was that products are completely inactive because the labmax that was conducted by a guy the clients know was said to indicate so. On the weight of the labmax results their friend conducted, all of the products were claimed to be “bunk.” An estacydata test can confirm the clients original claim and the client's friend's original labmax results, yet the verifiable estacydata test is being avoided. On one hand, the labmax is thought by the clients to be credible enough to make the claim that the products they received are “bunk,” but on the other hand the clients wont send the products to estacydata because they feel there could in fact be active ingredient in the products, which would enable the products to pass an estacydata test. Passing an estacydata test would refute the validity of the original labmax results.

The clients do not trust UGL products because they are unlicensed, unregulated, and unverifiable. Therefore, they intend to use the UGL equivalent of an Analytical Laboratory because the Analytical Laboratory they have selected is unlicensed, unregulated, and unverifiable. They intend to use an unverifiable service to verify the authenticity of something else. They intend to utilize a verification method that has the same shortcomings as the products they distrust.

The us versus them mentality simply put, sources are here to line there pockets nothing more if you dont understand this I dont know of any other way to put it. You dont have to agree with me its just a fact.

Earning a profit does not mean that a business' intent is to screw people.

Earning a profit does not mean that a business' intent is to screw people.
You really feel calling someone a child molester when it isn't true is comparable to complaining about shitty products and service?

We grew up in very different places apparently. Wow.
 
You were in his feedback thread antagonizing our staff, you were receiving an official response, and you left the conversation.


Please provide links to the posts on AB to which you're referring.

You lied about the gyno and you lied and said we would ban you and delete your feedback. Insulting my teammates and our board wasn't relevant to “product feedback” and didn't improve your situation. Had you simply stuck to a product complaint instead of antagonizing us and making up problems that don't exist I would be fine with your feedback.


Was it a lie about causing gyno or an embellishment? You're giving inconsistent statements.

Calling Brutus' comment about being banned and having his feedback deleted at AB a lie is a reach on your part. You have no evidence that Brutus wasn't sincere when he made that statement.

I find it hypocritical you're mad about IM calling you a child molester because it isn't true, yet you are upset because I criticized you for saying things that aren't true.


I think you are joking, aren't you? Your red herring was too blatant for me to believe you were being serious.

It's relevant to the conversation I'm having with Millard and not directed at you guys, even though Brutus is taking it that way. The embellishment was posted by Brutus and has nothing to do with you at all as far as I'm concerned.


I'm confused. You said it was a lie above but now it's an embellishment. An argument could be made that you are embellishing by calling it a lie (and then walking it back) in order to make your point.

I'm not against your product feedback but you don't seem to understand that product feedback doesn't mean making things up that aren't true in an effort to antagonize people.


Once again, we're back to calling it a lie. Regardless, I fail to see how one could view those comments as antagonism. Who is it supposed to antagonize?

My criticism is based upon your replies that portray me as some kind of enemy of free speech, when really my argument is that I don't like people making things up as they go along to abuse each other because it's counterproductive. Conclusions are often drawn from evidence-less claims on the weight of someone's reputation alone, for that reason, I expect people to stick to the truth. I don't make things up about people or lie to discredit people. I give the truth and expect it in return.


What you're describing is utopia, not reality. I'd like to live in a world where everyone tells the truth all the time but that's fantasy. Anyone relying on the reputations of anonymous people - rather than the best available evidence - in order to make decisions are asking to be ripped off.

You can "expect the truth in return all day long." You can even demand it. But that doesn't mean you're going to get it.

I can't ignore people saying things that aren't true about something I'm somewhat responsible for.


Does that include Karius himself? He is on record saying he tested his raws. Obviously that was a lie because if he had tested his raws, he would have quickly posted those test results as soon as these complaints surfaced. Instead, he was forced to send product off to be tested AFTER the fact.

"What I will be doing is sending our other tablets in for testing to that site."

Karius also lied about using Labmax:

"I dont know what I'm looking at with a labmax, never use it.
I get only the raws tested (not labmax)"

I trust you'll be bringing these conflicting statements up with Karius.


Every other board besides Meso isn't infringing on a user's freedom to say what they want.


I don't think anyone said that. However, it's fair to say most are.

This claim is suspicious because no other clients have complained about anything. If five products are in fact less than what they should be, staff members expect complaints from several clients that do not know each other on the street. Brutus embellished, bent the truth, or lied depending on how you see things because he was “mad” when leaving his original “product feedback,” per his own admission.


There have been other issues with Karius' products recently on OLM:

"That sucks. Had my pic in it, we'll not a full pic, just a gyno shot and a pic of your adex in the pack.. You got a pm. Email wasn't returned. This adex k, is the same that came in that request with the test c ( remember you said it kept crashing had a lot of complaints about it, and you still sent me the shit.) that was bunk and you replaced it. Same adex. Blasted on alp test e 750 mg/wk and alp EQ/ 1000 mg/wk 15 weeks .5 adex eod. Got on a cut of alp test e and tren a and this same adex. I was getting some tenderness on and off, but I'm thinking the adex has it coverd. I guess not. All this was in the email. With pics. Now that you got this special email, I'll just post it here. I'm gona hold off on the pics. Trust me this gyno shot will make you motherfuckers think twice. Now I was holding a lot of water during the blast so visually you couldn't tell anything, but 3 week in to carb depleating I starting noticing some fatty tissue across the lower pecs, then at week 4-5 depleating it showed up plain as day. All this was in the email. Still got some dbols from that request, but so far you 2 for 3 on that one k"
http://www.outlawmuscle.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1942027&postcount=1494

And as I've just proven, Karius embellished, bent the truth, or lied depending on how you see things because he is selling a product of questionable quality but wants his customers to believe he has a QA program in place.

K and our staff never abused the clients despite being abused by Brutus.


Please provide those posts from AB.

As I've said before, guys here generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat because they don't know any better.


Because they don't know any better? That's a pretty condescending thing to say about Meso members, isn't it?

Meso members are a different breed than what you'll find on other boards. They are much less likely to rely on someone's word than they are evidence. That doesn't mean they're wrong and it certainly doesn't make them worthy of ridicule. Meso is, first and foremost, an evidence based forum, so it only makes sense that its members don't put much stock in reputations.

I think a more accurate description would be the guys here generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat because they know they are dealing with anonymous sources that are engaged in a highly illegal activity, and the chances that an anonymous criminal on the internet is honest is next to none. That's just being a realist.


Had Brutus been polite, K would have likely paid for the tests the clients want to run.


I still haven't seen where Brutus was impolite to Karius - at least on the only forum you said he would see it - AB.

Brutus knows he can get in touch with K by posting in K's feedback thread because he was being officially replied to in that feedback thread, until he left abruptly, after he portrayed our staff and board as being corrupt and said that we ban people for poor feedback and delete feedback, which he later admitted isn't true.


Please provide a link to the post on AB where Brutus "left abruptly, after he portrayed your staff and board as being corrupt and said that you ban people for poor feedback and delete feedback."

There isn't much verifiable evidence on either side regarding the products being what they should be or poor.


No, but there is evidence from K himself proving that he didn't test his raws as he claimed. And if he didn't test his raws, it's entirely possible that Brutus and JB received bunk.

An estacydata test can confirm the clients original claim and the client's friend's original labmax results, yet the verifiable estacydata test is being avoided. On one hand, the labmax is thought by the clients to be credible enough to make the claim that the products they received are “bunk,” but on the other hand the clients wont send the products to estacydata because they feel there could in fact be active ingredient in the products, which would enable the products to pass an estacydata test. Passing an estacydata test would refute the validity of the original labmax results.


Passing an ecstasydata won't refute the Labmax tests because it will only tell you if there is any active drug present, not how much is present. If an Anadrol tablet only contains 0.5 mg of Anadrol, for all intents and purposes, it's bunk. But the ecstasydata test will say the tablet contains Anadrol and Karius can then say it's a pass when it's not.

The clients do not trust UGL products because they are unlicensed, unregulated, and unverifiable. Therefore, they intend to use the UGL equivalent of an Analytical Laboratory because the Analytical Laboratory they have selected is unlicensed, unregulated, and unverifiable. They intend to use an unverifiable service to verify the authenticity of something else. They intend to utilize a verification method that has the same shortcomings as the products they distrust.


I agree with you that there isn't a perfect way to prove their claims just as there isn't a perfect way for K to prove his. Everyone involved is hiding behind an anonymous handle while engaging in an illegal activity and that makes 100% verification impossible.

In the real world, this could be easily settled. With online AAS sales, the source holds ALL the cards. That is why Meso members generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat.

Earning a profit does not mean that a business' intent is to screw people.


No it doesn't, but an UGL is hardly a legitimate business, is it?

My criticism is based upon your replies that portray me as some kind of enemy of free speech, when really my argument is that I don't like people making things up as they go along to abuse each other because it's counterproductive. Conclusions are often drawn from evidence-less claims on the weight of someone's reputation alone, for that reason, I expect people to stick to the truth. I don't make things up about people or lie to discredit people. I give the truth and expect it in return. I don't have time to read 45 pages of nonsense about a single order, but at the same time, I can't ignore people saying things that aren't true about something I'm somewhat responsible for. If getting on someone about lying means I'm an enemy of free speech, well, I guess I'm an enemy of free speech and you are defending deception. I have never requested that any posts or feedback be amended here, nor have I ever amended any feedback on any other board I'm a part of. I want you to not give me flack for doing what I'm supposed to do because you want to defend everything your guys say, even if what's being said is not true, under the guise of “free speech.”
I don't like it when people "make things up about people or lie to discredit people" either.

I don't like it when "people saying things that aren't true about something I'm somewhat responsible for".

I don't like it when people lie and say that I "make no fact finding effort".

I don't like it when people lie and say that I am "condemning the guy who is exceptionally busy, who doesn't appreciate his time being wasted investigating claims that are not true".

Oh yeah, I don't like hypocrisy either. But that's another issue entirely.

I am a big believer in the truth and have a lot of confidence that the truth will prevail in an open, uncensored forum. So, while I don't like it when people lie about me, I am confident the lies and deception will be exposed.

I don't understand why you can't see the difference between defending free speech and defending lies. It should be obvious that one can support the former while opposing the latter.

I believe the difference that is relevant to your question is the not-so-subtle nuances between "can't see" and "not in his best interests to acknowledge", or better yet "acknowledgement would conflict with the interests of current entrenched alliances".

"Can't see" would imply a lack of intelligence (IM for instance).
 
Was it a lie about causing gyno or an embellishment? You're giving inconsistent statements.

He claimed the products caused his friend to need gyno surgery which was not true.

Calling Brutus' comment about being banned and having his feedback deleted at AB a lie is a reach on your part. You have no evidence that Brutus wasn't sincere when he made that statement.

It was a lie and he admitted it was a lie.

I think you are joking, aren't you? Your red herring was too blatant for me to believe you were being serious.

No, I'm not joking. Brutus likes to make things up when it suits him, yet when something is made up about him, he can't tolerate it.

I'm confused. You said it was a lie above but now it's an embellishment. An argument could be made that you are embellishing by calling it a lie (and then walking it back) in order to make your point.

It was a lie but I was trying to be nice. This has already been discussed at length and it's upsetting Brutus because he thinks I'm trying to discredit him any way I can, which isn't the case. I'm having to re-argue the same topic over and over again every time someone new wants to take a stab at me. Seems the goal is to waste as much of my time as possible until I just don't care to respond anymore. Really, I don't think Brutus is a bad guy. He got pissed and said some things that weren't true. I'm tired of talking about this over and over again because I actually like Brutus and would prefer to get along with him. Brutus and I got along fine and were always friendly on the boards until he started getting into it with IM and then he had this order conflict with K. Although he hasn't said it, I get the vibe like he's mad that I'm not agreeing with his complaint. The thing is, I'm not disagreeing with his complaint, I just don't know what the truth is. I can't say the product he got was poor any more than I can say it was good. He was offered a refund on his word and I encouraged him to accept it. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do. K isn't some serial rip off artist that I need to bring down.

Once again, we're back to calling it a lie. Regardless, I fail to see how one could view those comments as antagonism. Who is it supposed to antagonize?

When someone lies and says the products they are leaving a review for caused their friend to need surgery, that is abusive and antagonistic. Then Brutus made posts claiming that his feedback would be deleted and we would ban him for posting his complaint, which also admitted is not true. The things he made up because he was “mad” antagonized K and our staff.

What you're describing is utopia, not reality. I'd like to live in a world where everyone tells the truth all the time but that's fantasy. Anyone relying on the reputations of anonymous people - rather than the best available evidence - in order to make decisions are asking to be ripped off.

What I'm describing is how adult men in positions of authority interact with each other. I expect people to not make things up on a whim. Expecting someone to post with the intent of being honest is a reasonable expectation and I find it interesting that you feel people are incapable of being honest.

You can "expect the truth in return all day long." You can even demand it. But that doesn't mean you're going to get it.

Anyone is welcome to establish themselves as deceptive.

Does that include Karius himself? He is on record saying he tested his raws. Obviously that was a lie because if he had tested his raws, he would have quickly posted those test results as soon as these complaints surfaced. Instead, he was forced to send product off to be tested AFTER the fact.

"What I will be doing is sending our other tablets in for testing to that site."
http://anabolicboard.com/forums/showthread.php/16857-ALPHA-BAL-Labs-2014?p=269867&viewfull=1#post269867

Karius also lied about using Labmax:

"I dont know what I'm looking at with a labmax, never use it.
I get only the raws tested (not labmax)"



"Thats right, you had the Halo samples... how can i forget all your PM's. lol
Glad its working out, it was a very expensive raw.
It passed that Labmax test as did the Primo."
http://www.outlawmuscle.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1943060&postcount=1507

I trust you'll be bringing these conflicting statements up with Karius.

Sources frequently receive certificates of analysis, which are always on hand. Raws are constantly tested. You don't seem to comprehend the difference between testing a finished product to rule out manufacturing error and testing an active ingredient. A test proving the hormone is what it should be is irrelevant to the product complaint. I've posted about the importance of testing finished products instead of the “raw” here several times but it never seems to sink in and guys generally remain fixated on the “raws.”

According to K, he ordered more than one labmax kit and had his products tested. He told me this some time after the post you're quoting was made.

I don't have an account over at OLM so I can't see whatever it is you're complaining about over there.

I don't see a problem with anything he posted so I won't be PMing him.

I don't think anyone said that. However, it's fair to say most are.

It was implied.

There are several good forums with staffs that try to do right by their users. Some of the well known boards are corrupt. Total count wise, I'm not sure if more are shady than not. There are something like 150 muscle boards.

There have been other issues with Karius' products recently on OLM:

"That sucks. Had my pic in it, we'll not a full pic, just a gyno shot and a pic of your adex in the pack.. You got a pm. Email wasn't returned. This adex k, is the same that came in that request with the test c ( remember you said it kept crashing had a lot of complaints about it, and you still sent me the shit.) that was bunk and you replaced it. Same adex. Blasted on alp test e 750 mg/wk and alp EQ/ 1000 mg/wk 15 weeks .5 adex eod. Got on a cut of alp test e and tren a and this same adex. I was getting some tenderness on and off, but I'm thinking the adex has it coverd. I guess not. All this was in the email. With pics. Now that you got this special email, I'll just post it here. I'm gona hold off on the pics. Trust me this gyno shot will make you motherfuckers think twice. Now I was holding a lot of water during the blast so visually you couldn't tell anything, but 3 week in to carb depleating I starting noticing some fatty tissue across the lower pecs, then at week 4-5 depleating it showed up plain as day. All this was in the email. Still got some dbols from that request, but so far you 2 for 3 on that one k"
http://www.outlawmuscle.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1942027&postcount=1494
Again, I don't have an account at OLM. The client said the test he received was crashing, which means that he could see hormone with his naked eye, yet he said the product was bunk. I looks like he got a reship anyway. I have never used any of K's products, so I don't have any feedback on his adex. If there was a problem with the product and the client can't get a refund/reship or K abused him, then he is welcome to contact our staff. I'm not sure what that client not liking the product he received has to do with anything.

And as I've just proven, Karius embellished, bent the truth, or lied depending on how you see things because he is selling a product of questionable quality but wants his customers to believe he has a QA program in place.

So you know, over at OLM, sources can delete feedback and might even be able to ban people, you'll have to ask Ben to confirm the banning because I don't go over there. The fact that the negative feedback was even there for people to read is an indication that he's not concealing anything.

What exactly have you proven? You're ignorant of the difference between a testing a finished product and a raw hormone and some of K's clients don't like the orders they received. No one has 100% positive feedback, that would actually be utopian.

Because they don't know any better? That's a pretty condescending thing to say about Meso members, isn't it?

I think a lot of people get their start here because Millard, Dr. Scally, and Bill Roberts are intelligent, informative, insightful posters. Meso was my first board and that's what attracted me. I read Meso for years before they changed the theme and installed the nag screen that asked someone to register after so many page views. The people who get their start here are exposed to a generally negative sentiment about sources in the steroid underground sub-forum, where sources are often treated as a con-men immediately. Most of the sources who post here are un-vetted because the steroid underground is almost completely un-moderated. So it's somewhat understandable that guys here do not generally trust the sources who post here. I personally find the anti-source sentiment that I've seen here strange because sources are the primary reason people visit the boards. The sources I've used are typically small business operators that do their best to deliver the best product they can to their clients and don't try to devise every possible way to scam someone out of their money. A guy I know only sources to be able to afford his kids soccer expenses. Every source isn't a money sucking vampire looking to steal everything they possibly can. That's not to say that there is not an ample supply of poor sources who will rip people off and poor staffs that will allow their users to get ripped off because both are frequently encountered on the boards. I honestly feel that people who are negative about sources do not know any better because they often wholesale project their fears or expected source shortcomings onto every source, which isn't fair. Clients are typically focused on clients being abused and they rarely think about sources being abused. I've seen sources get abused plenty and it's equally inappropriate.

Meso members are a different breed than what you'll find on other boards. They are much less likely to rely on someone's word than they are evidence. That doesn't mean they're wrong and it certainly doesn't make them worthy of ridicule. Meso is, first and foremost, an evidence based forum, so it only makes sense that its members don't put much stock in reputations.

It's astounding how blatantly false this post is. No evidence has been provided that the order the clients received is less than what it should be. Brutus and JB are being taken at their word on the weight of their reputations alone, which is the the standard procedure on every board I've been on. Evidence provided by a person that isn't trusted doesn't hold much weight anyway because the evidence can be very easily manipulated. That's not to say that the clients are wrong about their claim or that it is wrong for people to believe JB and Brutus because they trust them. I haven't ridiculed either of them beyond pointing out that Brutus said some things that aren't true.

I think a more accurate description would be the guys here generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat because they know they are dealing with anonymous sources that are engaged in a highly illegal activity, and the chances that an anonymous criminal on the internet is honest is next to none. That's just being a realist.

There are plenty of honest semi-anonymous people doing things that might be illegal in this community. Some of the most honest guys I've met frequent the boards.

Meso doesn't vet sources and allows anyone to post. So some guys assume every source is a piece of shit, which isn't the case. The lack of moderation allows people the opportunity to be exceptionally rude and some people choose to behave that way.

I still haven't seen where Brutus was impolite to Karius - at least on the only forum you said he would see it – AB.

He posted that essentially our staff was corrupt and would ban him for leaving negative feedback at AB. It's in the ALP feedback thread. He also lied about K's products causing JB to need gyno surgery.

If JB needed gyno surgery because of K's products, I would have no problem with them saying so. This isn't some mission to defend K at all costs. The products are what they are. Test them, leave the feedback, get the refund, and move on. I've never seen so many posts about a single order, this is a enormous waste of time.

Please provide a link to the post on AB where Brutus "left abruptly, after he portrayed your staff and board as being corrupt and said that you ban people for poor feedback and delete feedback."

It's in the ALP feedback thread at AB.

http://anabolicboard.com/forums/showthread.php/16857-ALPHA-BAL-Labs-2014?p=269798&viewfull=1#post269798

No, but there is evidence from K himself proving that he didn't test his raws as he claimed. And if he didn't test his raws, it's entirely possible that Brutus and JB received bunk.

The raws are always tested, which is irrelevant. Even if the raws test as they should, the finished product could have been less than what it should be due to a manufacturing error. That is why finished products are submitted for testing when a complaint is received.

I've been saying from the beginning, that the products they received could have been less that what they should be but that I would expect to see other complaints about the same products if that were the case. This was the official response: “If there is a critical problem, then it was not intentional.”

http://anabolicboard.com/forums/showthread.php/16857-ALPHA-BAL-Labs-2014?p=269815&viewfull=1#post269815

Their claim about the products being less than what they should be has never been officially refuted by anyone.

Passing an ecstasydata won't refute the Labmax tests because it will only tell you if there is any active drug present, not how much is present. If an Anadrol tablet only contains 0.5 mg of Anadrol, for all intents and purposes, it's bunk. But the ecstasydata test will say the tablet contains Anadrol and Karius can then say it's a pass when it's not.

The claim was that the products were bunk and contain no active ingredient because of the observations of a third party that is said to have conducted a labmax. Estacydata can confirm those claims and the labmax results in a verifiable manner.

Using estacydata is not about devising a scheme for K to be able to pass the test. There isn't a better test available. Instead of spending unlimited hours making call out posts and complaining about the current limitations of testing in the community, why don't you go out and find a verifiable test that gives concentration data and submit that testing authority to the community for review? Get with your guys and do something meaningful that addresses your needs. My understanding is that some people are mailing samples to China for testing. I'm not sure how viable an option that is but it may be worth looking in to.

I agree with you that there isn't a perfect way to prove their claims just as there isn't a perfect way for K to prove his. Everyone involved is hiding behind an anonymous handle while engaging in an illegal activity and that makes 100% verification impossible.

K never made a claim. He encouraged the clients to test the products and post the results. If there was a problem, he said he didn't do it on purpose. Then he went on and ran some of his own tests to try to see if what they were saying was correct. He never refuted anything publicly or privately.

It might surprise you how un-anonmyous people are in this community.

In the real world, this could be easily settled. With online AAS sales, the source holds ALL the cards. That is why Meso members generally treat every source like they are a con-man right off the bat.

I think sources are often treated like con-men at Meso because the sources here are unvetted and
guys are use to having to defend themselves from unvetted sources. On boards outside of Meso, the sources absolutely do not hold all of the cards. That's not to criticize Meso, it's just a limitation of the design of the steroid underground sub-forum. I've been posting here since the steroid underground re-opened and I think the steroid underground does good things.

No it doesn't, but an UGL is hardly a legitimate business, is it?

There are UGLs that are better organized than many “legitimate business” I've encountered.

You really feel calling someone a child molester when it isn't true is comparable to complaining about shitty products and service?

We grew up in very different places apparently. Wow.

He made something up about you that wasn't true and you didn't like it. You made stuff up that wasn't true too. I'm waiting for one of you to be the bigger person and bury the hatchet because neither one of you is going to win or conquer the other. You guys keep escalating this conflict. I tried to get you guys to get along even though I told Millard I don't have time for it. This thing you guys are doing isn't benefiting either of you. By being polite you'll likely make the person who wont let go look like a jerk.

I don't like it when people "make things up about people or lie to discredit people" either.

I don't like it when "people saying things that aren't true about something I'm somewhat responsible for".

I don't like it when people lie and say that I am "defending deception".

I don't like it when people lie and say that I "defend everything everything [my] guys say, even if what's being said is not true, under the guise of “free speech.”'

I don't like it when people lie and say that I "make no fact finding effort".

I don't like it when people lie and say that I am "condemning the guy who is exceptionally busy, who doesn't appreciate his time being wasted investigating claims that are not true".

Oh yeah, I don't like hypocrisy either. But that's another issue entirely.

I am a big believer in the truth and have a lot of confidence that the truth will prevail in an open, uncensored forum. So, while I don't like it when people lie about me, I am confident the lies and deception will be exposed.

I don't understand why you can't see the difference between defending free speech and defending lies. It should be obvious that one can support the former while opposing the latter.

What fact finding effort have you made in this situation? You allow everyone to post whatever they want including abusive stuff, say absolutely nothing about it, and when I try to sort this out you give me a hard time about it and portray me as anti-client. Our staff and K didn't abuse the clients. Having a client contact a source about their issue with an order is about not wasting everyone's time. I could care less if someone wants to leave negative feedback about a product here or anywhere else. I don't know why I have to read countless pages here about an order where the clients were offered a refund that they wont accept. I don't know what else anyone expects beyond a full refund. No one got ripped off. I don't tolerate scamming. Our staff didn't suppress the clients feedback, nor does our staff ever suppress any client feedback and I don't appreciate your portrayal of me as doing so. The clients could be right about the products being less than what they should be in both the staff's and K's opinion. However, no one else is complaining about the same products. There is no evidence to make a judgment about their order being poor or not. I'm not going to side with the clients because that is the popular thing to do. I can't make a call either way. The clients are intentionally seeking unverifiable evidence in support of their claims.

If you want to argue about what I've said, respond to the posts I made directly, instead of pulling everything you don't like out of context and calling me a liar repeatedly. I think the bulk of what you're upset about came from this post: https://thinksteroids.com/community/threads/karius-alp-bal-lists.134353188/page-95#post-1115127

As far as I'm concerned, you're a good guy and I like you, even if we're at a low point in our friendship. I feel like you've been giving me a ration of shit in this thread that I don't deserve or appreciate. How am I supposed to feel about the last few replies you've sent me?

Lets talk about what you're upset about either here on in PM.

Lets talk about what you're upset about either here on in PM.
I didn't think the status of our friendship had changed at all because of a simple disagreement and certainly not to a "low point".

I am disappointed that you've written things about me that I know are untrue. But in the spirit of free speech espoused in this subforum, if you really believe them to be true then I support your choice to post them and argue why you think they are true.

I am also not happy with your straw man argument. You seem intent on misrepresenting my position as being one that is dismissive of your arguments (and supportive of those of @johnnyBALLZ and @brutus79) in the whole debate over the quality of @KariusM's products. In reality, my disagreement with you has very little to do with the substance of that debate.

My disagreement with you focuses primarily on the manner in which you seem to think the debate should take place. You seem highly critical of the uncensored nature of the debate (and admittedly do a good job of highlighting some flaws inherent in a forum where there is no censorship). What I am doing is defending the approach taken by MESO that allows the free-spirited discussion that you've seen in this thread.

Again, just because I agree with the approach, it doesn't mean I agree with the positions of all the participants.

You've repeatedly seemed to imply that those participants who are posting things that YOU know to be untrue should somehow have their speech restricted or censored or otherwise not be allowed.

I don't agree.

Much like I support your choice to post what you seem to really believe to be true about me (but I know to be untrue), I support all participants choice in the @KariusM debate to post what they really believe to be true (even if it may turn out to be untrue). But what goes hand in hand with this approach is the support of other participants to expose any and all falsehoods.

The reason that I'm not concerned about the truth being suppressed is because the forum allows all participants to provide any and all evidence and make their best argument in favor of their position. If the evidence/arguments are strong/valid, then members are free to evaluate the respective argument and make their own conclusions.

Going back to your arguments specific to the @KariusM debate, I've said it more than once that your contributions to that debate are appreciated. For what it's worth, you've made several good points and, for the most part, have been exceedingly professional in your presentation.
 
I think that all of us are too frequently guilty of taking a position based on our relationship to the main characters - relationships that were in place from before this debate began.

Personally, this has been a tough one to watch unfold while mostly staying silent. JB and Brut have both been damn good friends to me here at Meso. Graniteman and I have been cool. IM and I have no history, good or bad. Regular helped me in the past via PM.

So to see these guys going at it and attacking each other has been tough to watch. Not because they were disagreeing with each other - but because of how personal the attacks got at times.

I have tried to stay out of the arguments. I had no desire to comment on anyone's kids or spouses or lifestyles, and it seemed getting involved would just lead to that.

I have had some members ask me why I seemed to be staying out of it, and why I wasn't defending Meso by defending two of our most well known members, who quite a few members know I am good Meso friends with.

I have stated from the beginning that I just wanted the truth to come out. It is hard to make that claim with integrity while openly rooting for one side or the other.

I have had some members ask me why I seemed to be staying out of it, and why I wasn't defending Meso by defending two of our most well known members, who quite a few members know I am good Meso friends with.

I have stated from the beginning that I just wanted the truth to come out. It is hard to make that claim with integrity while openly rooting for one side or the other.

No need to root for anything but the truth my friend..

This whole goddamn thing was a fucking disaster.. If IM hadn't been on here daily starting shit this wouldn't have gone on anywhere close to this long.. The conversation should've been over within a few days like these situations usually are.. Could we have ignored IM? Absolutely... However when my character (or my friends) is being vehemently attacked I'm usually not one to be "the bigger man" by shutting up and taking it.. Maybe I'll "grow up" someday but at this stage of my life that's doubtful..

Through all the bullshit there was also some very good debate in this thread though.. :)

Expecting MS back very soon then hopefully this will be freaking over..
 
He claimed the products caused his friend to need gyno surgery which was not true.


He said "Labmax was done after 200 mg a day anadrol no effect, 4 cialis chewed no effect and a friends pct is ending in gyno surgery."

There is nothing in that statement that is factually incorrect. 200 mg of Anadrol had no effect, 4 cialis had no effect, and his friend's pct did end in gyno surgery.

You can argue that he was implying the bunk nolva was responsible for causing the gyno that required surgery but no one at Meso thought he was being serious because Johnny has been open about the real cause of his gyno for a very long time. He was embellishing. Big fucking deal.

You insist on calling it a lie because you are unwilling to accept that his comment might be something other than literal.

It was a lie and he admitted it was a lie.


I believe he admitted he was wrong. That's not the same thing as admitting to a lie.

No, I'm not joking. Brutus likes to make things up when it suits him, yet when something is made up about him, he can't tolerate it.


Your attempt to draw a moral equivalence between what Brutus said and what IM said is outrageous. I'm not convinced you even buy it yourself. It's just pathetic.

It was a lie but I was trying to be nice. This has already been discussed at length and it's upsetting Brutus because he thinks I'm trying to discredit him any way I can, which isn't the case.


Aren't you? It certainly looks that way. You've focused on everything Brutus has said but you certainly haven't had the same concern for what IM has said. If you're not trying to discredit him intentionally, you are doing it unintentionally.

I'm having to re-argue the same topic over and over again every time someone new wants to take a stab at me. Seems the goal is to waste as much of my time as possible until I just don't care to respond anymore.


You've already done more than you should. Why do you feel the need to continue?

Although he hasn't said it, I get the vibe like he's mad that I'm not agreeing with his complaint. The thing is, I'm not disagreeing with his complaint, I just don't know what the truth is. I can't say the product he got was poor any more than I can say it was good.


The vibe you should be getting is you appear biased. I'm not sure why you feel qualified to judge this situation. You shouldn't be involved in deciding the validity of these complaints because you are an employee of the source in question. It's preposterous. Any judge in a court of law would have recused themselves long ago.

I think you are an honest and trustworthy member of the community. I'm not disputing your credibility but it would be virtually impossible for anyone to remain impartial in your situation. I don't care if you're Mother Teresa - you are not adjudicating any case I have with K.

When someone lies and says the products they are leaving a review for caused their friend to need surgery, that is abusive and antagonistic. Then Brutus made posts claiming that his feedback would be deleted and we would ban him for posting his complaint, which also admitted is not true. The things he made up because he was “mad” antagonized K and our staff.


When someone takes something that was said tongue-in-cheek and portrays it as a lie, that's more than embellishment. Some would even say it's a willful misrepresentation.

What I'm describing is how adult men in positions of authority interact with each other. I expect people to not make things up on a whim. Expecting someone to post with the intent of being honest is a reasonable expectation and I find it interesting that you feel people are incapable of being honest.




Sources frequently receive certificates of analysis, which are always on hand. Raws are constantly tested. You don't seem to comprehend the difference between testing a finished product to rule out manufacturing error and testing an active ingredient. A test proving the hormone is what it should be is irrelevant to the product complaint. I've posted about the importance of testing finished products instead of the “raw” here several times but it never seems to sink in and guys generally remain fixated on the “raws.”


Who said anything about not testing finished products? K didn't test his raws. If he had, he would have provided that data as soon as the complaints emerged. And those certificates of analysis from Chinese suppliers aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Raws should always be tested by sources. It's senseless to rely solely on tests of finished product because if the raws are bunk, you've just wasted your time time and money.

I don't have an account over at OLM so I can't see whatever it is you're complaining about over there.

I don't see a problem with anything he posted so I won't be PMing him.


I'm not "complaining" about anything so let's get that straight right now.

The post at OLM was of K telling someone he used Labmax to verify his Primobolin. The point was to show K lied when he said:

"I dont know what I'm looking at with a labmax, never use it.
I get only the raws tested (not labmax)"

It's pretty clear he is playing fast and loose with the truth.


It was implied.

There are several good forums with staffs that try to do right by their users. Some of the well known boards are corrupt. Total count wise, I'm not sure if more are shady than not. There are something like 150 muscle boards.

You said "every other board besides Meso isn't infringing on a user's freedom to say what they want." To which I replied "I don't think anyone said that. However, it's fair to say most are."

Perhaps it was implied. Regardless, I'll just come out and say it now: Meso IS the only strength training forum that I'm aware of that " isn't infringing on a user's freedom to say what they want."

Your forum, AB, most certainly infringes on a users freedom to say what they want when it's deemed inappropriate by the powers that be. It does so because it is a censored forum. Arguing otherwise is a failure to understand the concepts of censorship and free speech.

In your last post you said you've "only banned one person for leaving negative feedback," and it was because the member "claimed the source would intentionally put poison in his reshipment in an effort to kill him" which you said was a "ridiculous accusation and level of abuse that (you) wont tolerate."

Look at what you said: "You wont tolerate." Rather than let the member's comment stand on its own, and allow your members to decide if he was credible for themselves, you made the decision for them. And all because the member's complaint didn't meet YOUR standards. That is the definition of censorship. And by banning that member, you just ensured that anyone else with the same complaint wont come forward.

One an uncensored forum, I have the freedom to say Millard is trying to poison me (which he is, BTW. Has been for a long time:eek:) and not be banned for it. But just because I have the freedom to say it doesn't mean anyone will believe it. The burden of proof is on me to prove it, not Millard to disprove it. Most people are intelligent enough to figure that out on their own and they don't need big brother protecting them - or depriving them of what big brother doesn't want them to hear. After all, it's for their own good, you know.

It might very well be true that examples like you mentioned are a rare occurrence at AB, but it does occur - AB does limit a user's freedom to say what they want.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with favoring a censored forum. Some people prefer an environment where moderators control and filter the content they see. I don't. The only thing I despise more than moderators is the inherent censorship on the boards in which they exist.

I'm not sure what that client not liking the product he received has to do with anything.


It has to do with you saying there hasn't been ANY other complaints. There has been at least one other complaint.

The fact that the negative feedback was even there for people to read is an indication that he's not concealing anything.


I never said he was.

What exactly have you proven? You're ignorant of the difference between a testing a finished product and a raw hormone and some of K's clients don't like the orders they received. No one has 100% positive feedback, that would actually be utopian.


I'm ignorant now? And where did I say anyone should have 100% positive feedback? I've already addressed your issue with testing raws but I have to ask: Do you use ad hominems to bolster your arguments on your forum?

I think a lot of people get their start here because Millard, Dr. Scally, and Bill Roberts are intelligent, informative, insightful posters. Meso was my first board and that's what attracted me.


You're saying Meso is a beginner's forum. That seems to be a common theme with the guys that prefer censored forums. But it's not true. The quality of information available at Meso is anything but beginner quality and it's unrivaled by ANY other forum. Meso gets its share of beginners and some of those noobs might not be comfortable with an uncensored forum so they migrate to those 'mature' forums.

But some of us do stay here because we agree with Millard's vision of equality and free speech for all.

Most of the sources who post here are un-vetted because the steroid underground is almost completely un-moderated.

Says who? Sources get vetted here - by the members. Again, some of us prefer having control in the members hands rather than being told what to think by mods and admins.

I personally find the anti-source sentiment that I've seen here strange because sources are the primary reason people visit the boards.

I find the buddy-buddy atmosphere that exists between source and member on other forums strange. Different strokes and all that.

I honestly feel that people who are negative about sources do not know any better because they often wholesale project their fears or expected source shortcomings onto every source, which isn't fair. Clients are typically focused on clients being abused and they rarely think about sources being abused. I've seen sources get abused plenty and it's equally inappropriate.


I'm one of those people that are negative about online sources and I don't even use them. It makes no difference to me if they're good or bad because I have no stake. But having no stake allows me to see the bullshit inherent in the online AAS market objectively and what I see is a cesspool of poor quality products made from poor quality, "untested" raws that get brewed in substandard conditions by even the best of sources. And it only gets worse from there.

It's astounding how blatantly false this post is. No evidence has been provided that the order the clients received is less than what it should be. Brutus and JB are being taken at their word on the weight of their reputations alone, which is the the standard procedure on every board I've been on.


How is it false? I haven't made any judgements about what happened because there isn't enough evidence to make that judgement. Very few people have come out and said they're taking them "at their word." Most are waiting for their test results before making a decision. I will say that I don't believe for one minute they're making this up. But that has nothing to do with their reputations or taking their word. There are very few people whose word I will accept for something they can't prove.

FYI, I became interested interest in this matter when I saw the disgraceful treatment they received from K's "supporters" for voicing their complaints, and that is very telling, IMO.

He also lied about K's products causing JB to need gyno surgery.

If JB needed gyno surgery because of K's products, I would have no problem with them saying so.


You're like a dog with a bone. You're hanging on that point as if it's some kind of smoking gun when it isn't anything of the sort. It's not that significant, let it go.

This isn't some mission to defend K at all costs. The products are what they are. Test them, leave the feedback, get the refund, and move on. I've never seen so many posts about a single order, this is a enormous waste of time.


The posts about their order have been few and far between. This thread is now entirely about the treatment they've received for complaining about that order.

The raws are always tested, which is irrelevant. Even if the raws test as they should, the finished product could have been less than what it should be due to a manufacturing error. That is why finished products are submitted for testing when a complaint is received.


There is no evidence the raws were tested because K hasn't provided that data. I'd be surprised if K has ever done his own testing on raws.

The claim was that the products were bunk and contain no active ingredient because of the observations of a third party that is said to have conducted a labmax. Estacydata can confirm those claims and the labmax results in a verifiable manner.


The products were said to be bunk and contain no active ingredient because Brutus and JB, both experienced AAS users, didn't see results. Labmax was used to help confirm their personal experience.

Using estacydata is not about devising a scheme for K to be able to pass the test. There isn't a better test available.

No one said it was. But it's still a poor quality test.

Instead of spending unlimited hours making call out posts and complaining about the current limitations of testing in the community, why don't you go out and find a verifiable test that gives concentration data and submit that testing authority to the community for review?


It doesn't interest me. My time is limited and I spend my time online doing what interests me. Is that selfish? I don't know and I really don't care.

I think sources are often treated like con-men at Meso because the sources here are unvetted and
guys are use to having to defend themselves from unvetted sources. On boards outside of Meso, the sources absolutely do not hold all of the cards. That's not to criticize Meso, it's just a limitation of the design of the steroid underground sub-forum.


Perhaps it is a limitation but I'll take it over being told what to think any day.

Is this the only test to come back yet??? I've been watching this thread since it has begun and very interested to see all the tests. I have no dog in this fight and we as consumers who do claim "garbage gear" get shafted and discredited the moment we make a claim. It takes a lot of balls to do what you guys have done because you knew what the consequences would be.

Right when you and Brutus made these claims the save face and smear campaign came out against you guys and never once did you fold or give in. This is a huge assets to the community and we need members like this to keep these sources I'm check. Can't wait for the rest of the test results and thanks again guys!

Yessir- one at a time. They are all imminent.
 
Awesome, can't wait to see all the results but you already know the dream team will find ways to discredit it and smear you guys more. It took balls to come out and do this instead of in secrecy and having said source comping you guys off.
