I just read the most hilarious thread. Here’s the summary: Three guys have a disagreement with each other, and exchange insults over the Internet. That’s hardly unusual. But here is what is unusual: the three people “trading blows” all attend the same college, and thus could settle their agreement in person - via a friendly boxing or wrestling match, or whatever. They all know this. Yet instead they choose to “fight” over the Internet.

There was definitely more to that argument than meets the eye though. It seemed to me like there may have been some sort of falling out between these individuals.
The real question is why do people feel the need to “talk shit” period? Does it really make people feel tougher, or superior to others? The real tragedy concerning that whole thread is that those three guys could all be training partners and help push each other to achieve their goals. Instead they waste their energy insulting each other and trying to bring each other down.

Sad really, when you think about it.[/quote]
That’s a very enlightened way of looking at things. I’m not so Zen.
In my view, you can’t be friends with everyone. Some people are douche bags. The guy who started the thread - and weight slammers in general - are douche bags. I do not want to be friends with them. I do not want them at the same gym I am at; and when I’m feeling froggy, I give them a smirk or chuckle when they do douche bag like things.
Of course, I have never said anyone online I wouldn’t say to a person’s face. What I hate about the Internet is that few follow a similar code of conduct.
lol cowards? kinda harsh all they were doing were talking shit. For all you know they maybe roomates typing at the same time right next to each other. I remember seeing college students typing all kinds of shit on the internet not because they wanted to be tough, just because they were in between class and thought it was funny to see people respond. They probably laughign right now looking saying wow they really take this seriuosly
