Dear Chris Aceto, please explain how...

[Curt James]

I'm not the one calling people idiots and morons either.

No, I believe, however, you are the one calling out a well-respected prep coach, being called a moron and then being butt-hurt enough to make a thread about it.

I love you, man, but seriously?

That said, there are degenerates in all walks of life.

Not politicians. Wait. Scratch that.
But not the clergy. Uh... never mind.
The cops! No, that won't do either.
Teachers? GDI!
Boy Scout troop leaders? Oh, for the love of Pete.

Has innocence and purity left the planet? :-(

Actually I didn't say one negative thing about Chris. He called me a moron for my previous statement about Cedric, not him in a closed thread. So this thread was served to better explain his position, which apparently can't be done without personal insults directed at me. If Cedric came in and called me a moron, then I could understand, but Chris? He really failed to address any of the issues sufficiently either. I could barely read his long rant, and what I could really didn't prove much.

Agreed

With 1300 posts in 3 years it would seem you come here a wee bit more than once a month...

Ok? Maybe look at my post history as of late? lol....

Regarding your mention of multitudes of degenerates in the sport, I agree with you. I compete in the NPC, and even before then, have come to know many. However, this is only an issue if you (generally, not specifically) are weak-willed enough to allow their degeneracy to impact you.

Backstage at shows, I have my earphones in, pump up by myself and frank;ly disassociate myself from the competition, mainly because I am disinterested in feigning solidarity thorugh competition. Thus, the existence of degenerates doesn't affect me.

That said, there are degenerates in all walks of life. I propose it is easier to spot a degenerate in the venue of bodybuilding competition because gear-talk may lead to other drug talk one finds questionable, etc, however there are surely, even in a white-collar professional work-environment such as the one you, and I visit daily, degenerates existing among you at work. You my not be as exposed to it as political correctness and office politics precludes the playful banter and off-the-cuff remarks that might occur backstage at your NPC show from occurring at the water cooler, but you never know what your colleagues do at night - we all have vices.

Matty's remarks about Cedric and Chris are opinions that I happen to disagree with, however opinions are opinions. What I take umbrage with is his disdain for bodybuilding based, it seems almost entirely, on the shady side of the sport, at the apparent willful blindness to its existence in all the other sports he claims greater respect for. Mostof the NBA are tatted-up gangbangers whose talent alone placed them on a court rather than the street-court in the South Bronx. Michael Vick's predilection to dog-fighting, for example, to me, is far more degenerate than injecting 3cc of tren in my ass daily. And female UFC fighters to me, admittedly chauvinistically, are far more nefarious a trend than even the advent of putting non-squatting pretty boys in board shorts on a bodybuilding stage.

If the distinction that Matty and others who once held bodybuilding a little higher than they do now, is the absence of monetary reward for correlative sacrifice, then the passion is gone anyway, and no amount of penance for grapefruit-fuckery, it would seem, could bring back the love.

you care way to much about this meaningless spat

Uh, actually him and Chris were discussing it and the staff decided to close the thread. He wouldn't have had to create this thread had we not been subject to such moderation this weekend.. or always for that matter.

In b4 this post is deleted and thread locked too

While I have been a spelling Nazi in the past, I've never really given a flying **** about grammar.

Oh my bad.. After reading this thread, I was under that impression, considering you were excited enough that you posted it on FB and twitter

I rarely tweet and my Facebook is reserved for pics of cute cats and dogs.

You're probably right.
