AR has been a known dirt bag around many of the boards for over a year now. I did advise one of your Mods about this some months ago. What he will try to do now is discredit this site & its admin in his site blogs. He still has a few faithful followers who have yet to see the light. This can be potentially dangerous if it gets out into the mainstream media. So dont think he will just dissappear quietly.
You are dead on Bro. Anthony Roberts is a complete ass wipe always has been and always will be. He has been chased off of nearly every broad I know of. Over time he always tries to make a power grab and always bites the hand that feeds him.
This post will at the least get me flammed and most likely get me banned from here but I will say my piece regardless of the consequences...
George you had to know what a lowlife AR was before you hooked up with the Hooker. He had already shit on a lot of other people in the business before he came to you. You had to know his reputation before hand. So when you lie down with dogs don't complain when you get fleas. You let the devil in your house now you're stuck with exorcising his demons.
He is one of the reasons and shit bags like him why I have not gone Platinum on this board and probably won't unless all of the bullshit ads and bullshit product pitches disappear. It's called integrity. I understand it takes money to run the site but selling out isn't the right thing to do. To deliberately tout products that have marginal benefits if any is one of the reasons this sport keeps killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
What I mean is when you sell supplements and hawk them as the greatest this or that and with drug like benefits you know that's not true. Anything with drug like benefits will be banned by the FDA as soon as it hits the market, like ephedra. Once it become recognized as having the potential for weight loss that it did it was pulled by the FDA. Why because if works. And yes anything that really works has the potential for abuse and possible harmful side effects. Ever read the caution label on a bottle of Tylenol? But it's still marketed as safe and effective.
My point is you contribute to the problem when you allow sponsors to prey upon the gullible and ignorant when they knowingly sell supplements that don't work or barely have any benefit. The young people who are just getting into the sport, the excited kids that want to be the next Jay Cutler or Ronnie Coleman willing to eat dog shit if they thought it would grow muscle. These are the victims and supplement companies knowingly deceive and defraud these people out of their hard earned money for the sake of profit are killing our sport. Once people find this out it's like when you're a kid and find out Santa and the Easter Bunny are your parents. They become disheartened and disillusioned and quit.
That is why the sport of bodybuilding has fallen like a stone in popularity since the days of the greats like Arnold, Lou, Frank Z, Colombo, etc. I remember the golden days of bodybuilding but look at it today. I blame most of that on the pervasive bullshit propagated by the supplement companies all for the sake of the almighty buck.
I think you'd be much better off if you allowed true and open conversations on EF about what does and doesn't work from the user's point of view w/o censorship. A place where people can come and truly express their opinions in a democratic forum regardless of their views.
Also only sell advertising to reputable supplement companies. and information providers not snake oil peddlers and bullshit artists. Let EF become THE source for quality information and products of the sport. You have the chance to right a lot of wrongs and make EF THE site to go to for the real deal in bodybuilding.
You and EF are at a cross road. If you use this unfortunate situation as an opportunity to clean things up here at EF you will benefit in the long run otherwise I think EF will be just another bodybuilding site.
The ball is on the 10 yard line, it's 4th down and goal to go. There's 5 seconds on the clock. You're out of time outs and your team is down by 6 points. What are you going to do?
