I agree. Most of it is bullshit. But consider this. Whether we get along or not, we are a community with a common bond. We use the word brother when we refer to each other. We may not always see eye to eye but we are united in our lifestyle. Be it powerlifter or bodybuilder we are united in iron. When I first joined Meso the anger was directed at bullshit sources and scammers, behind the curtain reps and shills. We policed our community to protect the inexperienced from being taken advantage of and teach them the ropes and they passed it on. Somewhere down the line the in fighting started to become more prevalent and the atmosphere changed. Not everywhere. I'm subb'd on many threads where the brotherhood is alive and well and the support is fantastic. But the underground is a mess. I agree crossfit, it is bullshit. Which is why this behavior must change and we go back to helping the new guys and then they become vets and so on. And to the new guys...chill the fuck out and thicken your skin. If a vet verbally slaps the shit out of you don't be so butthurt. It's being done to educate you so you don't get taken advantage of. So many scammers + so many eager AAS purchasers = people being ripped off. We are all here for the same reason...to learn about metal, learn how to feed our face, and learn how to safely use gear. So now everyone man the fuck up and act like brothers in metal united for fucking fucks sake!!!
