It's taken you years. Most here figured this out long ago. Maybe now you understand why I called you a moron? It really shouldn't have taken so long. I figured the BS years a go and never became a member because of it, so who's a moron? It does not matter how long it takes IMO, to me if you are going to call someone a moron, then that should cover anyone who is or was a member and not just a single person. After all going by what you say most here only figured out the BS after becoming members and not before. I think I became a member of Transformetrics (or whatever it was called at the time) a week or so after it was started. It was ok in the beginning. It was just Peterson and a bunch of guys (mostly from Portalguy's, Henry's and Shen's forums) discussing the exercises in Peterson's first book. All quite sensible discussion without the religious crap and bullshit stories. Peterson's posts were ok at the time apart from using all caps when he used anyones name but he stopped doing that when somebody pointed out that all caps often denotes shouting. He kept a lid on the religious crap and tales of derring-do until a few of the religious nutjobs from the Atlas forum turned up and that's when the real Peterson came out of his shell so I left. Doesn't make me a moron at all because that place was not moronic in the very early days. Several people here remember how it completely changed and that's why they left or started trolling it.

Was it this book M8? PYTP
Well I cannot say anything really to a book that mentions functional strength etc..................................
Was it call Blow something back then? I think I remember it was called Bronze Bow, I do remember visiting a site like that. So you was a member on there when there was BS then? As you said you did not leave before the BS only during. Personally IDC but if you are calling someone a moron, because of being a member of that site and realising the truth, then they are no different from you IMO.

We owe it to Bruv for these immortal words, which have since became an endearing part of our lexicon:
"Friends, say goodbye to BigBruvOfEngIandUK."

What Ben doesn't realize is all the stuff that John has done to some of those guys. Oh I do. And it's a damn shame. Then you at least learned a very important lesson, Ben. Never judge someone only based on how they treat you. Always pay attention to how they treat others too, as it can give you loads of information that you need to protect yourself and be fair to others.

When trouble comes you get treated as anyone else. If the girl is nice you can sort things out, but if she is whatever bad girls are, you are fucked in this day and age(and there are MANY like that today). The same with the rest of the world, if you are credulous or "nice" you get stomped.

As you know after the menopause, no more spew.

I think it was called Bronze Bow Publishing? I'm calling Benny a moron because it took him years to figure it out. I figured it out when JP suddenly let his true colours show. Who would have known at the beginning, the way it was going to go? It was just like any other exercise forum. JP had mentioned being a christian like a lot of people might mention it in passing but he didn't make a big thing out of it like he eventually started doing. Some time later some religious guy made a post saying that in his opinion, the countries that were the least religious were the most corrupt. I made a post saying that his opinion didn't matter because the fact of the matter is that the exact opposite is true and I posted links to information that showed this. There was some back and forth about mine and his posts as you would expect but then JP turned up and got all upset about it and said something about "I feel sick to my stomach" so I thought to myself I need to get off this forum if this is the way it's going so I left that day. It went downhill fast after that if the posts that were copy and pasted to Portalguy's forum were anything to go by. I didn't go there again for about 9 months or more but then somebody copied one of Andy62's posts and pasted it on Portalguy's. I went back to argue with Andy62 (I hadn't been banned) about whatever it was he had posted. It was my argument with Andy62 that caused JP to say the immortal words "Hey friends, say goodbye to BigBruvOfEnglandUK..." (rofl) Since then I've only been back on there with my trolls. (rofl)

It was my argument with Andy62 that caused JP to say the immortal words "Hey friends, say goodbye to BigBruvOfEnglandUK..." And we've all been eternally grateful for that ever since. That's right up there with, "Call me, my friend, we have much to discuss." It was soooo important to JP that Charles Atlas never lifted weights. Like, who gives a fuck whether he did or not? I was banned when I posted a voice recording made by Atlas's neighbor, Joe Rollo, saying that Atlas had a trunk load of dumbbells. And then, of course, the trashing of me began - "As an ordained minister of the Gospel, I shouldn't say this, but I'll say it anyway. Shen is a smartass." Cut me to the quick, he did! And I still sting from that! Atlas Soldier (Doomfarer) was banned when he denounced my banning. Since then, hundreds, literally, have been banned for the slightest perceived infraction. We have seen people come on there, post one question, and then get banned. We have seen people come on there, post one question, and then get trashed by JP for not searching the archives for the answer.

Will anyone there say,"Hey, John. Today's the day!" If anyone does, will it be posted? Posts have to be approved before they are allowed to be posted.
