Re: WTF

I just received a reply email from Stephen Takacs Dad... I had sent an email apology for the ONE POST I wrote making fun of him. I expressed how I didn't know he was a mentally disabled kid. Well, this guy writes back that he is thinking of suing me for all the "emotional suffering" I, and others, have caused by sending Stephen "threatening, harrassing letters to a known disabled person". First off......

1. I didn't know he was disabled, and NOWHERE ON HIS WEBSITE DOES HE SAY STEPHEN IS DISABLED.

2. I didn't threaten or harass anyone.

3. How the hell did Stephen's father even know what I wrote? Everything he heard about my post is ONLY OF WHAT I TOLD HIM.

4. STEPHEN'S FATHER SHOULD HOLD SOME ACCOUNTABILITY for all of this. Dude, you don't put up a website with a 135lb. kid with 20% bf and virtually no muscle mass and definition, oil his ass up like a car, and make him do dumb ass looking faces while doing bodybuilding poses, all the while posting no disclaimer of his mental disability, AND STILL EXPECT THAT NO ONE WILL ISSUE AT LEAST ONE CRITISM OR JOKE. Christ, when you put something on the internet, you should know millions, if not billions, of people have the potential of seeing it. And CREATING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR WEBSITE VIEWERS WITH "COMMENTS" DOESN'T HELP EITHER.

5. The bottom line is that nothing good can be accomplished by making a website for a disabled kid whose own father doesn't have enough mental competency to understand the pyschological effects of having his son put on show for millions of people to make fun of him. Even if you wanted a website, WHY THE HELL DID YOU CREATE AN EMAIL ACCOUNT SO STEVEN CAN GET ALL THOSE EMAILS? Did you really think that the majority of email letters were going to be positive? Are you a moron?

Bro, I can understand that you are pissed... but I hope you can let it go. Stephen's dad was out of line in what he said to you in his letter, but I hope you can recognize that it is an emotional reaction in response to his son having suffered a great deal of mockery and abuse.

People are not at there best under stress... and this guy has suffered enough indignity and stress over this already. The emails that kid was getting were ugly, hateful, and threatening. It's left his family with a lot of exhasperated emotions.

You were gracious to apologize and it would have been better if that apology was graciously accepted.

Honestly, this whole thing is the fault of whoever put up that website, probably the father as he agreed to it ...

Seriously, what was he thinking?

Wow...

I guess I should comment on this. To my understanding, this kid goes to competitions and it is the one thing in his life that he has going for him, other than his loving father. Alot of bodybuilders who are at these competitions love and respect this kid for trying his ass off.

His website isn't up to brag or showoff, its ment to celebrate his accomplishments... which I think, given his situation, are remarkable.

If someone flammed this kid unknowingly... hey, no problem. It's cool if you apologize... it's not necessary... I mean, this kid has overcome what he has to accomplish this much... so I don't think any insults hurled at him will slow him down.

If you are continuing to flame this kid after knowing this... then you are a bad bad person.

C-ditty

Man, seriously, fuck this shit, now his dad is gonna threaten the board members? If the emails were so damn disasterous to thier happy little family, then why in the fucking hell did they keep allowing him to read them? This whole situation is nothing but a crock of shit. I might as well move to Russia or Afganistan, I mean we can't even make fun of people in America anymore without sending them a fucking gift afterward.

Here is the bottom line, nowhere on the website did it state he was mentally disabled, though like I said It should have been obvious by the ridiculousness of the whole situation. We even have a post by Stephen himself saying he is not retarded. There are some things you just don't do in this world without thinking about what consequences could arise, and Stephens dad unfortunately made a bad decision on this one. There is no need to even talk to the dad. BOO Fucking Hoo his feelings are hurt we've all been there. Instead of sueing the board members his dad should let Stephen bitch slap him for puting up the website in the first place.

This thread just belittles the guy further. First of all, does he really look like a kid? Look at his face, it seems like he's got a fair amount of age beyond being a kid. Second, he probably "bodybuilds" to prove his abilities and challenge himself. By trying to send him a care package and give him pity it just reinforces the image of being a retarded kid. He doesn't want your pity, he wants respect just like any 'normal' person. So if you want to do the "right thing" stop feigning pity and let him live his life as it was before all the bullshit started.

What kind of a fucking lifeless prick would send a nasty email to this guy...I saw a thread of his on another board too...this is extremely disappointing.

Its one thing to laugh at a pic.

This happens all the time.

But sending an e-mail to the guy?

WTF?

Thats F*cking moronic.

Can he trace the e-mail by any chance>

If he's from EF, I'll ban his sorry ass.

We don't need that kind of hertless people in here.

glad i didnt go and shoot my mouth off on the original thread, but to everyone that's flaming people who did, they didnt know about it, and as wrong as it was no one can change that it happend, so why dont we just forget about it and keep our mouths shut next time we could talk bad about someone, it really seems that the first time you shoot your mouth off for any reason when you don't know someone's story, you end up making a fool out of yourself, you see a lot of people flame newbies and all that jazz on this board but in my humble (less than 90 posts) opinion its when people build eachother up, like that thread about scotty-two-hotty last winter that really help people out, yeah its good to get your kicks, but not at someone else's expense.

 

[Quadsweep]

ahhh shit!

Now I feel like a POS! I guess I should have figured it out. But to send the kid an email whether he was mentally handicapped or not is wrong. How many people that capped on him much less emailed him have ever had the balls to step there ass on stage? If you have never stepped on stage never cap on someone that had the balls to get up there and show them what they have.

P.S. Steven Takacs...you have my apology.
