SG, that's one of the nicest things I've ever seen a person do for another human being. You took control and pursued the situation because you suspected there was more there than meets the eye and it was undeservedly causing someone pain. Only a special breed would make an effort like that as far as I'm concerned. You've got some mad respect from me, brother!

Regards,
40

Every one of us has first impressions, which were all bad. However, I feel we were all fooled because the guy looked so damned serious. I mean who hear will say that their very first impression was anything other than belief that this guy was for real. I'm NOT mocking the guy but what I am saying is that the thought of him being mentally disabled didn't come in at all until after digesting it a bit. It looks all to real, at least all except for the physiche that is. So I have no issues with peoples first impressions, Steven's presentation via his web pages is rather remarkable to say the least. It's the following up with taunting and mocking that I feel we could have used a lot better judgement. But a lot of that is solely due to band-wagon jumping which I think is the real enemy here. People generally need to think for themselves instead riding the coat-tails of others. I don't mean to sound self-righteus because I know I'm as guilty as anyone for laughing at the guy but I have said that about band-wagon jumping before and still stand by it.

Well, now don't I feel like sh*t!!

We were out of line, no doubt.

But, in defense of those who posted, it does look like yet another internet prank.

Never-the-less, I am sorry if I caused anyone harm.

Oh shit! He’s disabled? Damn, I thought he was just arrogant from the post that was on another board. Now I feel like crap. People actually e-mailed this guy? Why? That’s going for blood, not just talking among us about it. I’m not pushing off blame because I went for the throat just as much as the next guy. I just hate arrogance, and that was the catalyst.


Thread from another source:
i am not retarded thank you very much... and to all of you haters here on extreme athletes (more like extreme a-holes) FUCK YOU!!!! i train just as hard as anyone here and just cause i dont have a rock solid body like arnold doesnt mean im not just as much of a bodybuilder.... i want to give quick thanks to my friend friend for letting me know this cheap shot trash talking was going on here (you know who you are) ... and just so you all sleep better at night this is my first, last , and only post this place will ever see from me.. im obviously not good enough to grace the pages of extreme-aholes.com. flame on... jerks and have a nice life.

On almost every page of that post someone said "Hey people wake up, the kid is mentally challenged" or something to that degree... yet all those people kept posting negatively...

...and some apparently sent the poor guy disparaging email. Shame, Shame. Get a life. Send the guy an email praising him to make things better.

That kind of activity makes these boards look really bad.. as if places like this don't get enough negative attention as it is.

I can't fucking believe some of you guys are gonna come on here now that you learned the truth about this guy and say how fucked up it is that the whole thread was put up about him in the first place. I went through the whole damn thread and nobody took up for the guy one fucking time, besides the occasional comment about him maybe being mentally disabled. I'll tell you what, I've made fun of a lot of people and I still do to this day, and the second I saw this guys web site I knew he was not ALL HERE. I mean look at the guys face in half the pictures, come on.
I'm in no way saying that it was such a terrible thing what you guys said in that thread, I couldn't care less, but don't be a asskissing pussy and come on here now and act like your fucking jesus. If anyone had something to say about the FUCKING TERRIBLE comments that were said about this guy in the first thread you should have been a man and said it then. Nobody likes two faced cowards. One more thing, if you honestly didn't have the slightest clue this guy was mental then you got some serious issues yourself.

I disagree with this completely. I definitely played a major part in bashing this guy on this board and others. I even started a thread about him over at Steriodology, which is now deleted. I feel like an asshole for doing it now that SG told the other side of the story. I was wrong for doing what I did and I don't feel like an asskisser for admitting it. I acknowledged what I did and I posted SG's thread at Steriodology and other places to try to make right the wrong that I did. You're way off base with this. There's nothing wrong with people admitting fault and owning up to it when they're wrong.

He trains, goes on stage, eats good(I'm guessing), and has a web site. Thats what alot of BB'ers do. I aint gonna get up on stage and I've been training 9 years. The way I see it is that he is one of us. Period. Granted he isnt as gifted as most of us are he is still doing his/our thing and we MUST support him. I train with a ex-Olimpia contender(he finished top 10) and he supports me 100%, I will never look like him but he is there for me. Thats what we need to do for OUR bro Stephen Takacs.

kudos to you sofa george for taking the time to track this down and make the original post...I wish steven and his family all the best

 

[sicklydiesel]

What makes you think I know him?

I tracked his dad down after seeing the posts about Stephen. The first time I spoke with his him was today.

What made you think to call his father?...how did you get his number?..why would you call someone out of left field, that you dont know and tell him people are making fun of his son on the internet. I think you said some shit about him, felt bad afterwards and after seeing everyyone ripping on the kid, made up some story about calling the father. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
