Christian Duque banned/fired from Rx muscle or Stay on board ? CHAPTER 2

[the mighty stu]

We as in mods and Dave?

Is he making an impact? What, 2,000 views on this thread alone, okay, but the threads he's posted in his neck of the Rx woods aren't faring as well, 10 or 20 views, mostly zero replies.

Ridiculous actions and ass clowning aside, his "writing" was never really worth the time it required to click and scroll through it. I never butted heads or had some interactions like others did with him, but I learned quite quickly not to waste my time with anything containing his byline. I came to this site when Dave n john left MD because I valued the info and respected opinions. CD provided neither of any quality or substance. Why he was kept for as long as he was makes me think it was solely As click-bait.

We as in mods and Dave? - Yep. I dont get it. As you know, I moderate two other boards...why is this the only one that tolerates the behavior?

I mean we as in everyone here, members, mods, everyone (minus maybe one or two) didn't "tolerate this behavior." But we are allowing him back..so ya, kinda. Well, maybe you aren't but Dave is.

Members didn't accept his thin-skinned crybaby attacks on them and neither did the mods. It took a bit of following up and getting the right people to be aware of how bad the problem was, but he was eventually shown the door. It just goes to show you the support we, as mods have here huh? Members/mods were ignored multiple times.

Is he here again? Yes. Is he making an impact? What, 2,000 views on this thread alone, okay, but the threads he's posted in his neck of the Rx woods aren't faring as well, 10 or 20 views, mostly zero replies. So? Is that the image RX wants? 2k views on this thread when we could have something better? So are we changing the image from what RX was known for to get users to view like it's a suspenseful movie?

Look, iirc, he threatened my job and said he was going to write a negative article about me revealing what an Interwebz bully I was to him. Never happened. Not saying any of the threats would become a reality..but we tolerated them...well, someone did.

So if the concern was that he said stupid stuff online then a lot of us are guilty of that. Where shall the bannings begin? Please. You and I know good and well there's a line that should not be crossed. Saying something stupid vs repeated threats is comparing apples to oranges.

Am I defending his behavior? Absolutely not. But am I going to let thinking of him consume my life? Not more than to ask that members enjoy the good (things you like) and ignore the bad (things you dislike).

Thank you all for continuing to post to the Rx Muscle Forums.

You're right. Duque should go. Apologize and then do a 180 on your editorials. From what I hear, they're just as negative as ever. And from what I've seen first hand... you thanked Triple H initially, but then when he said you're the reason he left Rx, you deleted that positive comment. Why? I suspect because, as always, you can't handle criticism whatsoever.

And something a friend sent to me this morning included a quote from Lana Battagello of Lana's Egg Whites.

She mentioned good vibe peeps.

This entire quote makes me shake my head at the thought of click bait and all the rest. She's speaking of Dallas McCarver.

Dallas' career isn't really about winning shows or titles, his goals are much larger. Launching his own brand and clothing line named The Revolution. The basic mission statement to his brand is, "Work so hard you are secure in who and what you're becoming". He knows this industry has an outbreak of bitterness and insecurities among everyone within it & he wants to personally set an example to others that you can be a "bodybuilder" or whatever without the egotistical mentality that is stereotypical of this industry. My favorite is one of Dallas's recent shirts which reads "OUTGROW YOUR EGO". That is what it's all about. A Giver, Dallas is recording videos for everyone to ride with him as he heads to the Olympia!! Good vibe peeps are welcome here: Follow Dallas & his Best Friend & COACH Matt Jansen as they bust into the O with everything they have. Funny & informative, you are going to witness some killer workouts!!

I boldfaced some of that, but every word is worth reading. That would be my goal for Rx Muscle. Do I achieve that goal? No. Not always. Or, hey, ever? But it is a lot more appealing than what's been happening here and driving members away or leading them to consider exiting the building.

To those on the fence, please stay. I definitely believe that Rx Muscle has more to like than to dislike.

This for me? I dont think I've ever had any interaction with TripleH?

No. That was directed at Duque. Like he's not reading this thread. lol

[Chondrobob]

I always took Dave and Rx as a place of truth and integrity. After reading one article and viewing a video. Hacks like Duque and Bostin just ruin years of building a credible site. Just disappointing.

Fugue the Duque

Ah, you had quoted me so I thought it was for me.

[Curt James]

It was for the Iron Duquebag. Someone said I got a mention in a recent video.

I feel so validated. My star is rising.

O.o lol
