No, but I love how so many in this forum dismiss the experience of others who happen to have experience that differs from your own. You want to call bullshit on anyone that tries to claim that any information that comes from the bodybuilding realm is incorrect, or only attainable by the professional level atheletes in the sport. Everyone's genetics are different, and there are many routes to similar results, but the way many in here dismiss others is, imo, a bunch of crap.
First of all, dismissing others and being close minded sucks, and that does go on and it is a shame.
However... this is a weight training forum, it doesn't say Bodybuilding in the title, and therefore that's what the make up of it is going to be. Like being a Honda owner on a Nissan forum trying to debate a point, it's not always gonna be easy.
Further, a lot of guys have spent a lot of time following FLEX and M&F routines that got them nowhere, switched to compound lift oriented training, got the best progress of their lives, and now swear by it and defend it.
Beyond that, the gym is full of scrawny kids who curl all day every day and look at THEM like they are crazy for not doing "tricep day" and it can be frustrating. I've had people have conversations right next to me saying you're only supposed to squat once a week I don't understand it you hit the body part and you move on... while I'm in the hole. Lame.
Also, I find that the guys on here welcome everything that actually works. And your great experiences with BB technique are VALUABLE to this forum and help make it better, IMO. We need contributions from different view points and we need to get better. That's how it is done.
On the other hand, when a kid comes on here with no training history, doing a program for one week, nervous that his arms won't grow... his arms WILL GROW on the 5x5 if he ramps up properly, eats a surplus and rides it out until he stalls. Guaranteed. And in a few years if he is 280 and has 19 inch arms, like I believe you are/have, trying that same exact program would logically not drive his arms much further and he would probably benefit from trying something different, as long as he doesn't neglect the lifts that got him to that point.
My point is that I don't think there is really a conflict. You have a lot to pass onto some of the less experienced lifters such as myself, but posting one liners or sighs every time someone promotes the compound lifting that worked for them isn't the way to get that message across bro.
