Respect for others

[Voltrader]

I agree with how to approach the new guys. I have stepped into several threads and had to ask people from flaming the new guy it is counter productive. I also see the other boards complaining about Meso but how they are treated.....well when they come over here guess what you have no status your badges of steroid forum honor carry no weight here. I think alot of the complaining is used to discredit us because we do go against the grain. No kick backs here, no free samples, what you get for being here a while is some pretty good friends. Stick around long enough and you will see what guys do for each other. There is a place for everyone do I come at the same way CBS, JBZ, or B come at it ....NO. am I against no it is a critical role at times. I have many conversations with guys and we talk about what we could of gotten for free but it is always turned down. You have a whole bunch of guys here who stand on character then free gear. That is what happens every else..... CBS is right it is a foreign planet to most that come from somewhere else. Does a thread get out of control sometimes yes but it is going to happen. I try my best to remain civil and keep discussions at a certain level but that is me but we need to accept what happens in the underground. I have to reiterate the other boards are complaining because the Vip"s dont want to lose their status no way do they ever want to be Meso to many kickbacks to lose. I am glad they are complaining on other boards we must be doing something right then. I will stay here where we try to stay somewhat pure.

The members here seem to talk to each other pretty rationally I will say that.

@HuckingFuge glad to see the air has been cleared for you. I was getting tired of breaking up those fights.

@Voltrader I was getting tire of you having to break them up

You are correct @Voltrader - the motivation should NOT be to appease other forums and/or make other forums like MESO better. I will echo @CensoredBoardsSuck's apt description of MESO as a "foreign planet" to other forums. MESO operates by an entirely different sets of rules than most steroid discussion forums.

If we just want other forums to accept MESO, we could become more like other forums. We could recreate the community-accepted hierarchies that appear elsewhere. We could promote the community-accepted rules and procedures for quietly notifying sources of complaints while keeping the community in the dark. That would make them happy.

That's not going to happen.

Instead, we should strive to raise the level of debate/dialogue for no other reason than to make MESO better!

I think all y'all is a bunch of fucking losers anyway having to take AAS to build some muscle. All I needed was Chuck Norris Total Gym, Deer Antler Spray, and take in all my protein from mountain oysters and that alone has turned me into a mountain of shredded muscle. Plus I get to home to Starla every night.

@millard - of the many things you have accomplished and will accomplish I am sure you agree they pale in comparison to the 1,000th like you just procured. Congratulations.

Meso brothers, I have been visiting other boards and have heard a lot of negative comments about meso, our board. The most common is that is that we are internet tough guys, talking shit, using profane and insulting language. I have been posting on meso for a lot of years and I have always been proud to visit other boards as a meso member, but not so much anymore, and I can't say I entirely disagree. The use of profane and insulting language has no place here or on any other board.

I can't think of another board in which it happens with such regularity as it does here. We all have done it from time to time. I am no exception. Lets clean it up some and try to communicate intelligently. Folks will take us more seriously and it will be a better reflection on us and our board.

This says it for me.
