Wow, so this idea really got under people's skin.
I'm not going to go thru and rebut all the posts objecting to things I didn't suggest.
I'll just leave it at: I never said censor, I never even said it should be enforced. I said if ppl adopted the idea, it would be SELF enforcing and would give us some extra background on which to judge others opinions.
Applies to me too, the day I start handing out slin advice I hope I get called out.
And Titans thread is a perfect example: a couple vets had it wrong on an issue, I'm the new guy here and floated an idea, very respectfully at first, I got hammered and all the sheeple joined it. And then Doc backs my position and it's crickets. Think I would have been taken more seriously if I said I was an IFBB pro? (I'm not btw, never competed).
Of course I would! That's the point here.
Look, there are plenty of exceptions- grandma trainer being a great one- but will it HURT? NO!!!
But basically the consensus here is, "God forbid please don't make me post my stats".
Personally I find that disturbing. None of us are "there"... All that matters is were making progress.
I can't count how many times I've been told to have thicker skin- if you can't tell, I could give an eff re: the keyboard cowboy and their insults, and I'll keep playing the opposition and taking the heat when it's better than the status quo. But some of you all - you whodatnation in particular- need the thicker skin, you'd think you were being asked your deepest secret or something.
And I don't want to get into a flame war here, so if it upsets you d-red that I tell you that you're rude POS & to get fucked, pm me.
Don't want to end on a negative note though, just consider, what can it hurt??
