Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Trolls to the left of me,
Low life motherfucking spammers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Trolls to the left of me,
Low life motherfucking spammers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Trolls to the left of me,

Curt, I think he was referring to you as one of the "trolls to the left" -
you would have been chagrined to know that. Great song though. That would
qualify as a nomination but I think you are exempted

I was thinking about this further. Shortly before I joined MFW, Dan
Duchaine and Fred Hatfield were regulars. When I joined, Will Brink,
Lyle McDonald, Bruce Kneller and Elzi Volk were opining about diet and
nutrition, Rob Schuh was giving expert advice about competitive
bodybuilding, Pat Arnold and Bill Roberts were arguing about steroids
and prohormones, Jason Burnell and one of Canada's top powerlifters
(Keith something or other were providing powerlifting advice, even
our own lowlife motherfucking spammer, Victor Conte, was destined for
"greatness". The breadth and depth of general knowledge was
extraordinary: we had regulars with doctorates in math, computer
science, law, and various other fields, and the mad genius of Mike
Knapik was uncatagorizable. Even our trolls were brilliant.

I am profoundly sad. If I wasn't on a protein sparing modified fast
(designed by two of the above named former regulars), I'd go get
drunk

And, with that illustrious past, here we are . . stuck in the middle with
you.
Did you omit mistress whatever and the woman who rode horses my clenching

(actually I am pretty sure it was Charles who drove all those people away)

He did; she is Krista Scott Dixon aka Mistress Krista.

He mentioned Elzi Volk who could shit bricks and fart miracles (she
once claimed to have done three one-arm pull-ups). Cohen was, like
others here at the time, more than interested in her social
attributes!

>(actually I am pretty sure it was Charles who drove all those people away)
>

Many of them were gone before I arrived, but I was certainly
instrumental in changing the dynamics of the Group by resolutely
standing up to John "Enforcer" Williams' relentless "trolling",
stalking, blackmail and bullying. From the outset he cynically and
maliciously set about destroying any chance of me enjoying peaceful
participation in the Group's activities.

He enlisted a number of other "old regulars" as he liked to call them,
to help him in his battles with me, as Williams is too cowardly and
inept to operate on his own. It dominated the Group over a number of
years and became very personal and nastily hostile but also boringly
repetitive. Many of them lost their enthusiasm for supporting "The
Enforcer" with its resultant consequences and left the Group. I might
otherwise have been friends with most of them if it hadn't been for
Williams constant harassment.

It was a shame so that many of them got themselves involved in what
was essentially a personal conflict between Williams and myself,
particularly as Williams always had "personal conflicts" with any
number of other contributors. I became the self-appointed champion of
the bullied and oppressed, and the opposition to Williams' scandalous
conduct gathered pace and lead to his eventual downfall.

While I admit my part in the thinning out of the ranks, the real
culprit for the dramatic change that has taken place at MFW is John
Williams. He has much to answer for and now hides in the shrouds of
his alleged "killfiles" and pops out only occasionally to post one of
his "pointy stick" attacks through a third party, and complains like a
great girl how the Group has been ruined by the "trolls"!!

The truth is that it is he who has always been the most consistently
prolific and nasty "troll" in MFW, and despite being warned countless
times by his so-called friends, he would state publicly that he was
the Group "Enforcer" and he would 'deal' with anyone coming into the
Group that he considered 'unsuitable', and that he would drive them
away!!

The outcome was that he drove away many more than he really intended!

Ugh! It's Monday! ;o(

Cohen is not that type - he would have been interested in her for her
cerebral qualities far more I'm sure!

I would say that you Charles were a fine and positive influence in this
group - an inspiration to many - certainly not a nasty and distruptive troll
with very little of substance to offer as some have said. We know and
appreciate your contribution to this group. However it is sad that we have
replaced some of the luminaries that Cohen referred to with the likes of
whitedogshitman and others who I admit are amusing but somehow don't cut it
the way you and I do. And of course some of the people Cohen referred to.
With rue my heart is laden for golden friends I had.

Mistress Krista is the reason I started squatting again. I'd had
arthroscopic surgery on my right knee twice (basketball and running
injuries) and had what felt like a constant pull on the inside of my
knee for years.

Also, and I almost hate to say it as I'm afraid I'll jinx myself, I
would occasionally move in such a way that mind-numbing pain would
shoot through my knee and it would pop.

Anyway, when I was reading up on squatting and how to do it without
hurting myself I found MK's site (likely through a link posted in this
group).

I'm not squatting tons of weight, but my knee feels better. It hasn't
popped and made me squeal in a year or more and the pull went away
three or four years back.

(If I had only come here before doing behind the neck military press
using a machine ...)

Lyle has a moderated board at www.bodyrecomposition.com.

Yep, that's about my experience of MFW -- sad sacks like jmw and brink
and schuh and bully. Ultimately, I don't even hold them totally
responsible; the only people who could be driven away from a public
unmoderated newsgroup are those with egos too big for their fragility
of character.

This newsgroup is like an office I used to work at: there was this one
person who felt like she was in charge, and would keep track of
people's comings and goings, and took it upon herself to be a spy for
management. Pretty soon, that had a chilling effect on the
atmosphere; there's no more convivial chatter, no more music playing
in the background, no more life or soul: different people frequently
remark how quiet we were. This newsgroup has got a bad case of the
ass, and it's thanks to the hallway monitors and self-described
experts.

Frankly, I don't care how much they think they know; the truth is,
we're only in the infancy of scientific understanding concerning our
bodies and its processes. Unless they're original researchers -- and
even then, their studies need rigorous peer review -- it's just
arguing over Mets and Yankees here.

Get real, people.

I for one am in great shape and I didn't need no rocket science for
that. It was genes (luck) and some hard work on my part. Everything
else, as the Talmud says, is commentary.

I get his newsletters, but I've not joined the board.
I don't care for web based forums. I prefer usenet or e-mail forums.

I don't look like a steroid-addled bodybuilder, but for some who just
does his own thing, I'm in great shape. The gym staff who took my
photos (http://taipei.craigslist.org/rnr/395647450.html) wondered
whether I was on steroids. And I have salespeople in the
weightlifting section at Sports Authority ask me for training tips.

Don't be jealous. It's not all due to hard work on my part -- it's
mostly luck, in the form of genetics. But now I'm going to follow a
program and see if I can push up to the limits of my genetics, and
find out what they are.

Heh.

I can tell you're jealous just by the way you dismiss me...while not
the best photos (what can I say, I didn't have to pay no one), my
physique is clearly in great shape -- the classical Greco-Roman
wrestler statue in art museums, just like I've always said.

Bodyfat seems to be at 15%, arms are at 17.5 inches (the photo has it
as 18, but the guy didn't "squeeze" the tape measure like he should
have)...anyway, don't be jealous, because you're going to have a heart
attack in another six months as I build upon the solid foundation I
have right now!

Methinks she doth protest too much...

Don't be jealous. Genetics aside, you have to work out like I do,
that's all! Taking potshots on usenet exercises nothing but your
imagination.

Good on you for posting a pic. That'd shut Brink up on that count at
least.

If they look anything like the people in the sports department at a
few local stores then that's really no great bragging rights
there. ;o)

Well, you're built a hell of a lot better than Will Brink, imo.

Still, your physique is NOTHING compared to mine. (cough) Yes, here's
my latest pic:

Yes, a tux is my favorite workout gear and...

What? It is TOO me! I just left my hair grow out a bit. Oh, okay, it's
some designer with Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson. A man can
dream! And regardless of dreams, don't let anyone in a newsgroup put
you in a tailspin. (Ouch! Was that a petard?) Looks like you're on the
right track.

I did last time, too, but of course the issue isn't about photos and
whatnot. Some people just come here to say things to us athletes they
can't say in person at the gym, I guess!

LOL -- I didn't mean to brag about that, you know; just saying that
the Sports Authority mistakes me for an authority based on my
physique!

I feel like a big phony giving advice sometimes, because what I really
believe now that it's mostly genetics. Working out only fine tunes
what's already there, but it doesn't grow what was around to begin
with...but that's rather discouraging to tell a stranger in a few
minutes...kinda like giving advice on what computer to get...hard to
say if you really want to get past generalities and platitudes....

Hmmm...I'd enjoy benching that all right! Still, you need to put more
weight on 'em....

No tailspin at all; I enjoy middle-of-the-day chit-chat, too. Too bad
he didn't have any advice, like cardio for my mid-section or something
like that.

Burnell was active before you joined. Later appearances were a
shadow.

When I got in, John Wash was married - to a woman. Rob was still in
jail. Karl Rove was being Karl Rove. The black marker pic appeared a
few months later. Sandeep De still spoke civily with Roberts, and with
Wash and Krista formed a triunvirate. The D/FW assault crew still
stood around - a few members. Shibayama was ending his studies, and
Kidwell was trying to be the natural bodybuilding poster boy.

Phallic firearm discussion was absent.

You are well over 20% bodyfat.
