My post to my GOOD FRIENDS Thing 1 and Thing 2.
- Thread starter LePsyber
- Start date
There is a big part of the problem. Their is a popular expression "read the room". This board is not like other places. We take pride in the general lack of drama and trolling and agenda driven bullshit.
I won't name anybody but there are some members who are very forgiving and willing to give the benefit of the doubt more than others. One of them that I will name is Taureau, the board owner. Bless his heart he puts up with way more shit than I ever would, his board, his rules. I can't really complain about what behavior he accepts or doesn't, it's not my place and frankly the resulting culture here is friggin fantastic compared to any other bodybuilding board I know of so whatever he is doing works. I bet I could find 10 posts from new folks in the past year that say how relieved they are to find this place because of exactly that. You even said something along those lines in your introductory post.
I've sent a handful of people here but right now I'd be embarrassed to because of some of the recent threads.
Then there are other members who get amped up really quickly when they spot a pattern they have seen before that leads to negativity interrupting what we have going. I'm glad both types are here, I fall somewhere in between.
I replied to one of your your very first posts here looking for help with low test levels, I put together a pretty long post to try to help get to the bottom of things and clarify the facts. You replied rather rudely including my favorite part - " I don't know where YOUR information is coming from however it's WRONG ". I recognized the behaviour and bowed out with a simple "OK". Then other respected members, including one of the guys you seem to have a particular problem with tried to help you but your rudeness and smart ass attitude persisted. Maybe have a look at that thread and try to view it from the other perspective. How would you feel if you were spoken to in the manner that you spoke? How would you react? What did you expect? https://canadianbrawn.com/threads/busted-testosterone-level.4273/
On top of that you reached out via PM and I tried to give you some guidance about how the board works and you T level issues, those long replies don't come without effort and thought but in the end you basically ignored all of it, and for all I know you had other similar convos, and now we have ended up here.
TLDR - Life is not fair, some relationships are not a good fit, I think this is one of them.
He just wanted some attention because we havent been giving him any for the past week or so.
It was hard to read but it is so stupid that its funny i guess. Definitely did not make me angry if that was the intention, assuming I am Thing 2 Hahaha.
He just proves our point for us. He likes drama so he can be a victim.
Just like his police training, scream "STOP RESISTING" as loud as possible while throwing more punches.

Sorry for the book.
First of all...to those who took it wrong, I apologize for my momentary immaturity. I saw some news about Dr, Seuss's house and pow, a stupid idea formed and then an hour or so later, I had this. My first poem since like grade 6 and I HATED writing back in grade 6. There is not one point of it meant to be a threat or taken in seriousness...it was meant to entertain. I even posted it in the anything-goes area. In hindsight, I shouldn't have and I accept everyone's criticism because I birthed it upon this world and so I'm responsible for it.
It was obviously meant to be stupid and funny and I'm glad that one person enjoyed it. As I've gotten older, I find I sleep less but find my mind moving more in other directions. I've started writing...especially a lot during this fucking Pandemic. (Which probably explains the booklike posts I do sometimes I suppose
). People keep saying it's no problem and it's over but POW ANOTHER day of my son's work lost because somebody caught a case of COVID and since it's a food production plant, they just aren't fucking around so they shut down to steam the whole damn plant(again). And another day less of money and one more day he's going to stay stuck in my damn house. Instead of getting frustrated about him being completely anti-social outside of an online game, I write. It's extremely cathartic. The spirit was meant in fun but it just highlights that people can look at things posted in different ways. Other than this, I have not posted one...not even one post on this board where I've smiled and gone "Hoboy! Gonna clip somebody with this! Gonna start me some fire (because I'm not getting enough smoke already). The same cannot be said for countless other posts I've illogically had shot at me that I just don't know how to respond to.
I just am not posting in the light people are allowing themselves to get twisted into. It's felt like someone is introducing poison to the water system every time I post and pointing at me and saying I'm the one trying to disturb and poison things. Over....and over...and over to the point where if I was anybody more senior on here, and seeing 30 or 50 of the same posts from the same people saying the same thing, I'd be asking why the hell they keep feeling the need to pick on someone to the point of way past excessive. I'm just the new guy though.
I haven't been able to post a thread for months in peace though because a couple of people...no matter what words or ways I post...go..." oh crap! He's trolling!" It's been just like watching a movie where someone out of a hundred people believes him, stands up and goes "Yeah! Yeah! That's what he's doing!" Then another looks at the attack reply and stands up and another and another and then they all scream "Get the bastarddddd!@!@" Whether it's logical and fair or not.
Me purposefully starting crap just isn't the case. I'm a fifty something-year-old man and I come here for serious and mature conversation. I've been sitting here watching threads I've opened that *COULD* be discussed logically and with a level head in people's opinions OR the same people could attach it to a politician and turn it into yet another political battle(which is never been the intention).
So I spent about an hour of time and made a REAL troll. Should I have done it? NO. Was it satisfying? YES, but not because of the reasons people think. I was satisfying because I showed what a troll post is. This post is NOTHING like I post on any other thread. I've never posted a single thing on here meant to needle, poke, annoy, bother or just plain be a pain in the ass to anybody but a couple of someones have spent significant parts of their lives chasing me to every thread and every post before they drop some poison right after I post. Every. Single. Time. And what is happening? People are listening if only because someone keeps poisoning every single thing I've said. One thing feeds another and another and then the venom flies because if I was a senior user and posted right after one single person in 50 threads that they were a TROLL, then people would stop trying to see the point in its correct light and instead look at the thread twister's opinion.
Things were really just fine OTHER THAN CAPS I use to accentuate a point in posts on other forums with no problems. A couple of people made fun of me versus asking me to kindly stop(I would have stopped no problems right then and apologized even. Even after I stopped there were several attack threads that just kept going long after I had stopped)
And then the shit hit the fan. I let it slip what I had been in another life. POW. The insults and then a couple (as in 2) people saying that because of what I had been that they would ****NEVER**** (and these are their exact words) accept me here. Well, they weren't lying because they have done every single thing to destroy people's attitudes and opinions of me. All because I once was in a career of something they personally don't like or that I just don't believe in their political views. And they're getting away with their plan to twist and turn everything I post because people are letting them. I was damn good at my job and spent a lot of time making sure I didn't turn into "that shithead that wouldn't ever try to give me a damn break". Trust me when I say that it's pretty frigging hard when you keep running up against some people just won't back off and try to be peaceful. Some people just refuse to be logical no matter how peaceful things would be if they just would stop attacking.
I'm moving on with my posting now and they can keep posting their illogical attacks and I'll blissfully won't even see it. I should have done it months ago but I've never in over 25 years of being on the internet, run into an actual forum stalker. I've never had to ignore someone and it sucks because I value people's opinions, good or bad. To a point.
Anyways, I hope more than one person enjoyed this...in the light it was intended. It was immature as hell, stupid, silly and wrong. My girlfriend loved it though and if anything, that's the most important thing. Thank you for your kind reply. And yes, I'll save my creativity going forward for my novel.
THANK YOU for your logical and level headed reply.
I agree with most of it and have no real excuse other than some of you being really cool to a serious noob on posting intelligently here and some of you attacking the snot out of me. As a result I posted some confusing things but I do not and have not wanted to start problems with people. I didn't intend on posting in a caustic manner but I can see how others could see it that way and have changed how I post.
My health when I got here was a mess. Mentally and physically. I had been receiving the right amount of T and suddenly pow I wasn't and shit wasn't too good. I can certainly say that I've felt the high of AAS but man, the low when you are too low and your body isn't responding is fucking horrible.
My T problems were complicated because I just didn't know how scientific things were here. I knew the language my fucking doctor was telling me and was just passing it along. She seems to operate on another fucking planet which I wasn't aware of because my posts were most definitely not worded right or even using the same language as others here use. Add to that my posting style and getting attacked so much, things just got worse. With everything I read and post now, I try my very best to get better.
In any case, I think I've de-escalated things(except for this) and learned to post differently here. By the way, the Powerlifting post was his/her life 5 years later. It's about everything s(he)'s lost and gone through. S(he) is obviously still powerlifting but in a strange middle spot between male and female. I didn't post to piss anyone off, I thought it would be interesting to see. I'll stick to straight powerlifting facts and details from now on and stay away from things like that. Lessons learned.
Thank you again for your post. I'm learning, one shot to the head at a time it seems LOL.
No no, just my stupidity. I take responsibility for my foolishness.
Nope
That ship has sailed
You don’t get it, your posts are still the same. You are a victim. You have had many many warnings, and several members attempt to help you. You chose to ignore it all.
I see right through you.
You are a troll and an agitator. This was a very peaceful place before you started poking around. I would absolutely love to see CB return to that.
So....
In my opinion you need to face facts. The damage is done. Why don’t you just move on. The internet is a big big place. Find somewhere that you don’t irritate so many people.
In the future, instead of crying the victim. Stop shut the fuck up, and listen to what people are saying to you. They might just have a reason for saying the things they do.
If you decide to carry on here, I will be watching your every move. I’m the kind of guy who is your best friend or worst enemy. There isn’t much in between.
Now I would love to get back to the happy place that CB used to be. Back to constructive conversations. Not endlessly mad everytime I open the page and see more of your garbage posts. So from me and a handful of others...take this as a lesson. I truly hope you leave.

Yeah, I though it was funny, but not appropriate.
I think you may have pissed off too many here too many times.
But you need to be you, honestly I think you’d have a blast on CJM or MESO.
You might find you fit in better there.
Sorry dude.

I think you make a good point. And now that I’m old and not as quick tempered....I’m all for a second chance. But it comes with strings.
Here it is....
Lepsyber.... cut the fucking bullshit.
Stop posting about politics for a while and add some true content to the board.
You work hard and add value.... I’ll eat every single one of my words. I’ll defend you to your last breath..... but you have to put in the work.
Keep being a trolling cunt though? Go find a new haunt.
It’s up to you how this goes from here.
What the hell is going on......
You are a changed man compared to when you first talked to me, lol.
I’m finding as I’m getting older, I’m less opt to react right away. I think it’s because sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the extra effort it takes to be angry prove my point or hold a grudge.
It’s also why sometimes I’ll post something, then delete it, because I just don’t feel like the arguement.
