Ben's blog, fights and GFY

4th paragraph.

Ben, if you read this, this is the truth: if you came here, accepted that you deserve the shit some people gives you (sometimes) because of your past behaviour, laughed it off and posted regularly with no bullshit, with time many would probably accept you and that would be it. As simple as that.
But you monitorize this place and your intentions are not clear.

If you read the pierini-texasranger clash, you would clearly see that it comes down to action-reaction. (Almost) no one here thrashes others gratuitously. There are feuds once in a while, from the outside it is clear why it happens, some people go after it.
You don't get that shit because we hate you, you get it because it is the normal reaction given what we saw.

There is fantastic people here and fantastic info, to whoever says otherwise, GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

I give Ben credit for trying a variety of exercise protocols and reporting his take on them in his Blog .

From what I saw he flounced off because one or two guys suggested an ex girlfriend of his had hairy balls. Is that really the majority? What a wimp. It sounds like his ex girlfriend has bigger ball than he has, m8s.

I wish Benny well. I agree with Gruntbrain. I hope he stops letting people rent space in head. That's not meant to be funny. It's really not good to get so upset, it's better to just let stuff go or ignore it.

Or get a sense of humour?

I don't really know him, and I have absolutely zero animosity towards him in any way, shape or form, but just like so many others that I encounter in his age 'group' he seems waaaaaaaaaaaay overly sensitive and incapable of understanding when people are just f'cking around and breaking balls.... 

***Hey Ben, life lesson #1 courtesy of the schoolyards of NYC is that when you're getting your balls broke you can't act like you give a shit, you also have to hit back but don't get vicious in your counter attack because that's seen as a very 'feminine' thing to do. Just learn to 'roll with the punches' and you'll be ok dude....

It was THIS person. A guest on the Rant forum.
Benny doesn't know who the person was. We don't know who the person was. Only the person ("Breathe & Squeeze") knows who he is.
So, Benny's accusation on his blog is unfounded.

Reading posts through a humor prism can be wise even if the poster wasn't being humorous; i.e. avoid mindreading .

Here ya' go Ben, the best advice you're gonna get anywhere so pay attention:

It was tough in junior high (middle school) and high school. You had to dish it back to survive. We called it capping. One of the most brutal ones I heard was from Daryl McIntosh who told someone during a capping session that he saw his Mom taking a bubble bath. He said she was sitting in a mud puddle farting.

Army was tough too. You had to have your words ready to fling back the cap being flung at you.

All those encounters prepared me for the game of life and being a business person. However, sometimes the ignore button gets the job done. I struggle more with this strategy.

Benny and JP both have the same fragility. They claim how other’s opinions don’t matter to them, but critique them and you live rent free in their heads for years.

"I signed up on a forum for the 4th or 5th time and left after one day (partially because I hated the name I put up) mainly because I thought if I just stick with sharing knowledge I'd be fine, but I wasn't. The majority of people on this forum just love to knock on me and ridicule me and put a bad taste in my mouth. They're not my friends, they're a lot older but most of the time don't have much value in the way of fitness because they don't really give a damn about grouping together and helping others, they're out for themselves and just have a place to let out their old man grumpiness along with busting each others balls. That's not the type of environment I want to associate with, I need to finally accept that."

Don't have much value in the way of fitness? Maybe he needs to learn that putting one foot in front of the other and simply going for a walk, will make someone fitter than sitting at a keyboard typing shit. Fitness is not rocket science, the more you move the fitter you become.

I hope Big Ben loses about 40 lbs. in the new year.  I believe he'll feel much better about himself.  Carrying the fat boy cross is a hard one.
