If sticking up for myself equals that, then sure. His comment was backhanded. By offering advice at how to not have people "get at me" he was basically claiming I deserved to be get at,

I asked valid questions, even stated I'm asking valid question, real questions.

Look, I have too much pride to not stick up for myself. Those who supposedly get at me, called me "bitch, etc." but I'm supposed to sit back and be like yes sir, no sir. Not in my nature. Frankly, can't think of a reason anyone should not stick up for themselves.

I offer respect to everyone, but I stop as soon as they stop. I havnt started anything, not once. Only respond to people honestly.

My honest assessment to those that don't offer respect, why should I give a crap what they think. That's what I told him. And simple mentioned he didn't have to be on this thread. He can even ignore me, it's a simple process.

It's not just saying I'm wrong, you've said I'm wrong, others too. I admit it all the time. I can admit when I'm wrong.

But when someone wants to interject into something with a comment like his, he should expect me to push right back.

I didn't search him out and ask him anything, he interjected into this thread. At first he seemed like he wanted to offer advice. Sweet, I asked more questions. He then offered a backhanded comment. I didn't nuance my response.

If that's a ban able offense, why would I want to be here. I like this forum, but if the rules are different for different people, then what's the point.

I think he was trying to give you some helpful advice. You said yourself that sometimes your questions come out as statements. Please do yourself a favour and stop feeling as though the world is against you. And you know I'm
not having a go!

I'd just like to add, and this is to everyone, since you started posting, whether people agree or disagree with what you say, this forum has definitely become more interesting

l

Ftblk36, if you didn't mean for it to come off sounding agreesive, I apologize. The whole exchange is a little ironic.

I don't think everyone is against me, just a certain few. And he seemed to align himself to that by saying "Start reading what you're writing before you post, listen to the intonation and make sure you say what you want, that should stop people getting at you and start getting you."

I don't believe my lack of constantly reminding people I am not being rude warrants the kind of backlash I've received from some. The entire purpose I was trying to be fastidious was because some seem to forget that written word is not nuanced enough to always express emotion. You can take anything the wrong way. Spanish, it isn't like that. I'm digressing.

In fact, I may of just done it.

What I was talking about was simple asking a question. I didn't even mean it was my fault, more along the lines if I am not fastidious, then someone seems to take it to a negative. A question is a question, really. I 'm constantly reading post and they certainly are not tone proof.

Honestly, I shouldn't need to have a disclaimer. I've treated everyone with respect, until they show me something less.

But I maybe I jumped the gun, and if so,I do sincerely apologize. But with the animosity I've received here lately, who can blame me. I can't go one thread without someone talking shit. That does put me a little on the defense.
I'd like to have a log, but it would probably be highjacked.


And watching my tone wouldn't of stopped my nemesis from "getting at me," his problem likely goes far beyond me. Inadequacy maybe. He certainly didn't like I stood up for myself, and attempted to basically badger me until I tired of it and left. His words.

All because I wanted to make sure I was healthy through my first cycle.

I wasn't being aggressive, if I ever am you will know. I was simply trying to be helpful, I won't again. I am not even going to explain why I said what I said as I believe it to be pointless in this instance. Your intonation is constantly arrogant, you're here to learn like the rest of us try being slightly more humble.

Wouldn't you consider apologizing an act of being humble? How about excepting an apology? Well, I just have no use for negative people.

You "believe it to be pointless in this instance," based off of what, I already said I was sorry.

Arrogant intonation? With all due respect, what you are hearing is what you attach to the words. Exactly what I did to you. I admitted I may of misjudge intent. But I'm leaning back towards my original assessment.

My nemesis says all I do is tell people "I didn't know that," or that I say I am wrong to much. (I actually said both in this thread). You say I'm not humble and I'm arrogant.

Either way, I'd much rather this not escalate. I respectfully disagree with your assessment, but do find this to be very pointless.

The new rule is if I bring it up, it will become an issue.

I aim to spark discussion. A few of us discussed finding an easier way to get macros. I thought since I posted about these egg whites on bodybuilding.com, and many loved them, maybe some would here.

Just kind of reiterates my earlier point though. It really doesn't matter what I say, it will become an issue.

I am not trying to follow other diets. I was trying to see how others view fats, maybe learn something new.

Appreciate what you're saying but I'm fairly sure CC is suggesting you do a log and post your training and diet in order to point you in the right direction. That's what he does.

Lets all rewind and start again. It's an excellent place to learn from experienced bodybuilders and weight trainers. I didn't think at my time of life that I could learn anything new but I do. On a regular basis. And I will continue to do so.

Maybe if those you ignore can see that you are willing to learn in the same way that I can see that you are they might be prepared to offer you their clearly invaluable advice and experience.

For what its worth, I eat the whole egg.
