The bear? The powerbear?

I'd just like to address his many criticisms with some actual posts from the last few months of oh, I dunno, me answering questions, Dan advising people on how best to implement 5/3/1 and so on. You know, constructive stuff. I'd also like to ask him why he felt that it was best to place his criticisms in a thread where we were trying to get people into our gym for a day where we tried to raise money for charity, and how calling us aggressive and unhelpful, shills etc. would actually have made people STAY AWAY from an event that was intended to raise money for a good cause.

In other words, I'd like to ask him some questions, and it would be nice for others to see the context.

Barry, You should know that around this time of year immaculate misconceptions are quite regular.

You should ban him...Roper that is...if you could ban him till Feb 7th that would be awesome...I've a little holiday around then and he's going to have heaps of work to do all through January...so getting him off boards and working would be excellent.

He's an agitator...pack him on his way I say.

Roper - your comment on Friday in the 2010 goals thread drove me crazy. I flipped. I don't agree with your comments.

This was after giving someone a 7 day ban on Thursday evening for spamming their IP log in both the diet & nutrition sticky, plus the same stuff in someones fitness log.

My apologies to you and anyone else who is annoyed.

B. Towards the end of the year I stopped reading this forum as much, and only read posts by beginners when I did. This was a really good thing to do as I stopped getting annoyed by some of the tripe that gets written and then regurgitated and got to read a bit more about people's expectations when starting out. Thus my irritation levels went down and my knowledge of beginner's fitness went up. All good.

Yeah that's eh... inflammatory stuff. I'm surprised Frontline didn't pick up on it to be honest.

I take it you mean Damian, who apart from being a member of our gym has absolutely nothing to do with our business? And who has no advertisements on his blog for us? And doesn't do one of our programmes but actually does 5/3/1? And who has more training, diet and athletic experience than 99% of members here? yes, good call. I hope you're handing out 7 day bans to every blogger here then.

My apologies to you and anyone else who is annoyed.

well I like to think I have the good grace to accept apologies when offered, but watch your step or you'll be infracted... oh no, wait.

I told you...that Roper....he's an agitator...he's trying to bring down boards from the inside.

You can't get me banned. You're the only person on here less popular then me.

No the man's apologised so let's leave it. He knows it was wrong and we can all go back to the dreadful way things were.

I've been 'Thanked' twice today...it's my most productive day ever on boards.

The posters here love me...they just don't realise it yet. All the boards people who came to the charity thingy...they got to see how...warm, welcoming, humble, comforting, softly spoken, sincere, caring and all that other crap...that I am in person.

pfft im ashamed, thats what you guys call drunk? meh

edit: just thought id put in that i dont drink...

amacachi · 23-12-2009 07:57PM

Once saw a guy fall down half a flight of stairs with half a can without spilling a drop. Half an hour later he fell off a chair with a glass of wine and spilled none. Bloody impressive.

On another note I just picked up 60 cans of Carlsberg and 2 bottles of Jim Beam for under 65 quid. Happy ****in days.

Also got Sky in my room finally. Bit annoying getting it when nothing's on but come February and all my sports start again I may as well just put a toilet in somewhere. :pac:
