That's some funny shit right there

Well, here we are again. I've been posting up the progression of my fitness routine (like everyone else) which has been heavily rooted in cycling because I'm training for the biggest race of my life and again I'm being attacked. What the heck??!!

For what it's worth to the general readership of this thread, I've been insulted and attacked via PM and frankly it's been totally uncalled for and ultimately unnecessary. 

I really don't understand why there are a handful of guys who have such a problem with me. If you have nothing nice to say, then why waste the time to say anything at all?

As it stands, last I checked I never did anything to anyone. 

MD -

This issue has come up in the past, correct?

Why don't you just start your own thread?

I'm not going to speak for anyone, but I think the issue is that your exercise regimen kinda goes against the "spirit" of this thread.

DING make the beast with two backsing DING 

ok folks, lighten up, laugh at yourselves, and let's not take everything so seriously ok?

Dave, if you take one step back and look at the thread and the total volume of words, can't you smile and joke along with it?  

We disagreed about it last year (or the year before) when I actually started a different thread to escape what had become all yours, and I've laid off commenting after that, but Dude, not everyone is sunshine and unicorns and there is that risk when posting up so publicly... and effusively.

you're not being attacked, you're being poked fun at.

I will change the thread title back form the other mod's wisecrack, and I'll do it without giggling.

my bad.  It wasn't a mod that did the change.

I won't interfere with posts then.

carry on...

Subtle...

But seriously? Was that necessary (changing the thread name like that)?

Next time don't be a jerk. Just PM me if you have a problem.






I think it's time (once again) for an age/maturity check.

and Dave, the OP can edit his thread to whatever he wants to.  Please don't start name calling publicly.  (although "jerk" doesn't exactly ring the admin warning bells, so..er..nevermind)

For the public record.

I did it.

I'm immature and a jerk.

Watch me not care.


Next thread title will be "Whatever happened to IZ doing ten behind the back push-ups?"

Followed by

"Statler owes me ten muscle-ups or a bottle of tequila"

Then

"The following fatties have given up on working out" I will name names.

and

"The fittest fossil ever, a tribute to Kopfjager!"

In other news, can we not take the internet so seriously? It's not actually real.


TV isn't either.

K, thanks.

1) Dave, if you take one step back and look at the thread and the total volume of words, can't you smile and joke along with it?  

2) We disagreed about it last year (or the year before) when I actually started a different thread to escape what had become all yours, and I've laid off commenting after that, 3)but Dude, not everyone is sunshine and unicorns and there is that risk when posting up so publicly... and effusively.

1) No, I can't step back and laugh at it because this has happened all too often and I'm really frustrated.  
2) Because I post more frequently this is a problem? How many times has this thread fallen back 2 or 3 pages on the forum because its died without people posting? I've been trying to keep it active. Apologies.
3) Apologizes to anyone who finds enthusiasm bothersome - sometimes I get over-enthused.

Randy or anyone, based on the above quote, please explain how posting goals, progress, and efforts goes against the "spirit" of this thread. Moreover, please define in exactitude the "spirit" of this thread and who's responsible for judging what passes as "getting fit" if that is the basis for which my posts are being judged.

Statler, I'll be sure to leave the otherwise "referring adjectives" out from future posts. Thanks for the heads-up. 

I wish MrI had left his snarky comment on the subject up earlier today.

Are you seriously encouraging this issue to continue Randy?

sorry.

I found it to be humorous and relevant.

All that you're doing is throwing gas on the fire.

I was basically replying to this:

what he had said and subsequently deleted was, "this is the 'get fit' thread, you are already fit"

and I also previously quoted the OP, which gave the exactitude of the spirit of this thread.  hopefully you could read the light-hearted spirit between the lines.
