While I applaud bigben84 having the courage to share his story and to stand for what he thinks in regard to JP, I also share the suspicion of some members. The truth is bigben84 could have said those things regarding JP in private to the the transformetrics members, then talk to JP in private, all of this without saying a thing here until things where clear (or never). Instead, he fusses here and lets JP discover this things by himself (which he will do, as he lurks around), thus making a name for himself as the one who dethroned the emperor. Those things don't sit well with me, it seems to be too calculated, and I am not the only one who thinks this. The thing is, who benefits? Nobody does and that's why sooner or later, things will end. It's finally over with me and I'm done with all of it. No need to discuss it anymore and life will carry on. I'm not making a name for myself. Almost nobody gives a shit and that's ok. Time to make peace and have a more fun-filled life.

That AMM 2 site, those guys are followers of John, just in a different context. They don't like the guy but love to hate on him... Hate. Jealous. That's the mantra on the Blow. Nobody hates or is jealous of Peterson or anyone else on the Blow. Yuh wanna step over here and say that, pilgrim? You'se better watch out or you'se gonna get dope slapped upside the head with an organic carrot.

If JP really was his friend and made time for speaking over the phone with him,this is treachery however you look at it. Bigben84 also knows how to generate sympathy towards him. Those things don't sit well with me, it seems to be too calculated, and I am not the only one who thinks this. The thing is, who benefits?Since his first thread and post, Darebee Circuit Training, Benny has consistently crafted comments to promote his image as a fitness authority. We've already looked at the popularity and activity on the Sierra forum, so this is a good place for him to make the effort. He'll post anything that he thinks will accomplish that promotion of his fitness authority image, regardless of whether it contradicts a previous post he made or not. His posts don't even need to be good advice or make sense, as long as he garners admiration, sympathy or alliance, that is what seems most important to him. Perhaps he's jealous of JeP and wants to start his own cult? All aboard for the Benny Train! EDIT: Not that there's anything wrong with that egotistical attitude. It's just good to know where someone's coming from to help sort out and filter what they're posting.

Bingo. This forum doesn't benefit from it (as people know what is there to know about JP), JP doesn't benefit from this. Also, bigben84 is respected by transformetrics members, and now that they are left without a master, bigben84 could fill that void.
Maybe I'm wrong, but then why venting here after years there and not talking to JP in private, being friends? Because the ship is sinking.
The pieces fit.

A fitness authority IMHO if someone has authority on fitness, they should be able maintain or even improve on their body over the years and not go backwards. You only have to look at our own Bruce to see that, no offence to ben, but typing about fitness and having and maintaining the results, are not always the same in my book.

The thing is, who benefits? Nobody. That's the beauty in all of this. Maybe if JP didn't pick and choose which posts he will allow to see the light of day on his forum, and ban those who don't worship him, this could all be addressed right there.

BTW, Big Ben has no agenda. He's just a guy who has a propensity for bearing his soul and being honest. Qualities, I'm sure, his future wife will appreciate.
