Why our forum kicks ass!!!!
After returning home from the gym I find that I had missed out on a very contemptuous and hastily escalating thread. I was of course annoyed that I had missed the fireworks, but the precipitous theme the originator was expressing was: that P.E. really doesn't work and/or is based on spoty claims and non-research. And furthermore that this was a den of conspiring marketeers followed by self-dillusional members.
Well this is not the first thread to which the author has conceeded doubts towards P.E.. Yet the tone of the conspiracy accuser was rather harsh, which leads me to believe this person was spoiling for confrontation.
Anyhow, it got me thinking about the totality of this forum and it's impact. Some may look at it as a weight station, a brief pit stop on your way to where ever. But you get out what you put in. You may look at your house as a roof and four walls, or you may add value to it and turn it into a home. Likewise you may simply gleen small P.E. tidbits here and there and stay on the periphery, or you can get involved, share your experiences, support others and generally make this a warm, cozy home!
Gators comment about not making gains for 15 months, yet he still comes back...made me think about the forum above and beyond a mecca of P.E. knowledge....yes it really is something more.
1) This is a wealth treasure trove of P.E. knowledge, insight, and experiences. That alone makes it invaluable.
2) It is a place which seeks to resolve doubts and tackle problematic issues, hence debate in a civil manner.
3) It is a place to record and catalog individual progress.
4) Everyone benefits from the hard earned knowledge of vets who graciously donate time and advice, thus allowing others to race past digression and/or potential pitfalls along one's P.E. journey.
5) It is a place which encourages exploration and hypothesis.
And it's FREE!!!
But there are other benefits which, in my eyes, makes it more than a forum, but rather a robust community.
-People here genuinly care.
-When someone is down people rush to the side of that member and rally around them.
-You are encouraged to discuss anything on your mind or that may be troubling you.
-It can be quite the comedy hour.....meaning free laughs.
-Many people put lots of time energy and concern into there posts, and do so for the betterement of others..not themselves.
-There are fictional stories to enjoy.
-People here genuinly empathize excitment when another member is happy or makes gains or expresses triumph in their life. And these are simply a few benefits off the top of my head.
I have found a very warm place here. And I find myself rushing to get on the forum when I get home to see what's been shakin' while I was away. I am on other forums(which have nothing to do with P.E.), yet I find myself spending more and more time here. When I could be in chat rooms, surfing porn or looking up this years Ferrari line-up, I find myself here. This forum really seems to resonate in me and I choose to be here regardless of P.E. gains, like Gator.
And If I had to state in one word why?.....Caring, the caring I see member express towards one another here, that is what matters most to me...that is what compells me here...and why you'll probably have to put up with me for along time to come.
So guys lets tell those trollers and lurkers why this forum is the BEST!
Tell everyone why this forum kicks ass!
