Reputation Comments, positive and negative

So you continue to get responses like this from people, and you continue to think it's everyone else?

Interesting.

Oh, not even. I know very well that my personality rubs some people the wrong way.
Even in real life, I have people who really hate my guts. I also have a lot of very good friends. Guess which ones I care about.

There are varying reasons. I have a big mouth at times, and I say what I think and I say it like I actually think I am correct. I voice my opinions quite freely, and I back up what I say with a lot of facts, so I do come off as a bit of a know-it-all, and I am quite a wise guy, too.
Sarcasm is something I terribly enjoy, and that gets people riled up.

It isn't uncommon for a girl to start dating me and get a whole bunch of people telling her that I am bad news. If a girl believes them without getting to know me first for herself, then I figure she is probably not worth it and I am better off not wasting my time on her. Kind of a way of self-censorship.

I could spend time trying to fight the haters, or I could just go on living my life.

My philosphy is the same was what Wayne said in Wayne's World: Led Zepplin didn't writes songs that everyone liked. They left that to the Bee Gees.

I don't want everyone to like me. If they did, I would be doing something wrong.

Ah, selective amnesia, how shocking and ironic. Keep on "not caring", bitch, it really proves your "ownage".

 

[Scat]

Actually, I should probably take that one down. I don't do it anymore, and it really didn't work well. I got it from talking to Larry Scott. He's a big believer in it, and I had some friends who wanted to know how to do it.
The real key to getting abs is diet. And there are better ways of training them.

No, I am not going too low on my dips. I am training my chest, not my arms. My rotator cuffs are very strong, and for good reason. I know how to make my joints very strong and sturdy. I have never had an injury from lifting weights.

Ever try Gironda Dips? They feel very awkward at first but work well to stimulate the chest muscles in a very different way. Especially if you've done nothing but the more traditional dips for years.

As for the shoes. They were recommended to me by a chiropracter who used to work for the Jazz (for over 20 years). They are quite nice. They look a little different, but I like them a lot.

Maybe you should get some of Jimmy's special training shoes.

The good news is, you'll be helping the economy by paying a shrink in the foreseeable future. Thanks for supporting America, bitch!

*edit* Way to play dumb/backpeddle. You need a custom Salty title underneath your name.

Are those where your palms face out?
Larry Scott preached those too. (No surprise since Larry was a good friend with Vince Gironda). I tried them, didn't like them. Way too awkward. Felt like I would hurt myself if I did them with heavy weights.

I have only been doing dips for a short time. I also do incline db presses. I used to do a lot of barbell pressing, flat and incline. I change things up as I go.

Gironda was a bit out there. Some people think he was a genius.
I like Larry Scott a lot, and I use some of his ideas, but a lot of his ideas I find to be.....well not so helpful to me.
But you learn what you can, use what works, disgard what doesn't.

Paying a shrink? Why would I go to a shrink? Shrinks are for people who are depressed, mad, or have major issues with themselves.
I love being me. I really do. Life is great. So why would I go to a shrink?

You sound kind of mad about me telling the mod. Did you get an infraction?

Franklin has taken to neg repping me any chance he gets.

He has a tendency to keep axes to grind. I'm pretty sure he still has a problem because I **** all over a Millsap for Afflalo trade last year. That, or that I'm not a tea-party/libertarian.

 

[craig2112]

You're not?????

Now I am ticked!

 

[NUMBERICA]

Hey Verlin, did you ever figure out how I hacked it?

It wasn't likely hacking. My guess is something far more troubling: You put in the time and effort to rep others indiscriminately just to be doubly spiteful (despite simultaneously having an advertised distaste for the whole rep system). Everything about your schtick screams well-adjusted.

It does, doesn't it?


And yes, it took a lot of effort to give out reps to 5 other people so I could give Verlin some more medicine.
But now, I notice that you can't neg a person more than once in a single 24 hour period. Maybe Verlin's whining to the mods got some results afterall.

But I am still here...and I don't even have any infractions.


and having 5000+ posts would seem a bit more disturbing than me handing out a few reps/negs...just sayin

Tea-partiers might wanna call themselves libertarians, but until they're for open immigration policies, controlled substance legalization, gay marriage (aka freedom to associate as one pleases), strong liability enforcement (class action litigation, malpractice litigation, just generally holding large enterprises responsible for their actions), defense-minded military policies and finally true laissez-faire financial policy, not let the rich do as they please and don't hold them accountable when they lie cheat, steal and hurt people.

I'm insulted to be compared to a tea-party Republican.

Bring out the guillotine, someone likes to post on a message board, states guy on same message board.

Anyway, keep doing your weird thing.

Oh don't worry. I won't change.

And just to compare, I post to another message board, and have since 2005. I have a total of about 3K posts there.

For a guy that tells everyone that he doesn't need their validity (without the question even being raised), you seem to really want to be validated.

 

[Hantlers]

A lot of friends and family wanted to see it. I am also completely comfortable with myself, so I don't get embarrassed by who I am. If you find it weird/creepy, well, you don't have to watch...but you already have, so it is in your mind now. Too bad.

Since you started out in the up position, I assumed you were working your triceps. If you really want to work your chest via dips (not sure why you would, there's better ways to do it) you would be better off starting far below 90 degrees and going up to a maximum of 90 degrees. Just sayin....

You have to be the most socially awkward person I have ever come across. surely you have mommy issues and no doubt she just slapped the **** out of you every day. Don't you have some kittens to attend to?

I can understand that, my point is that I don't really know what his political beliefs precisely are, just that he seems to really hates taxes and the government.

 

[franklin]

It's nothing personal. You just post a ton of ****ty content. I don't go looking for it or anything, it just keeps popping up endlessly. Try a little better, k.

LOL. It's me who has an axe to grind when you're bringing up a year old thread I don't remember and would probably be embarrassed by if I did.

It's funny how people create these aweful scenarios in their minds and then act on their thoughts as if they are reality. As an unrelated side note, this is something psychologists address often in relationship counceling. Apparently it is human nature. Loggrad used to post a bunch of psychoanalysis stuff. Maybe he knows a thing or two about it.

aw, yes. I admit that when I watch, it looks like I am doing tris. But really I feel it in my chest mostly.
For now, dips work my chest rather well. I also do incline db press. My chest gets pumped, my tris don't.

This I-don't-care-about-rep-but-can't-quit-talking-about-it-while-prodding-others gag was pretty funny when you first ran with it. But you're quickly taking it into negative territory.
