Stephen Takacs threads - please read!

[Zoomster]

I see a lot of pics on here that I laugh at. So many of you post your pics....hahaha...sorry, because you think you look good...heheheh sorry...get a clue people.

Leave this guy alone...period.

Steve, I'd train with ya and have you over to my house any day.

There's people that have balls and then there are people that wish they had them.

I think you guys need a perspective on this:

#1 He professes to be a bodybuilder
#2 All mentally handicapped people strive for eqaulity

As far as i am concerned, he is FAIR GAME to criticism.

Either good or bad.

But this has to be kep civil.

The one thing that is what i find wrong in this whole situation, is that someone sent him a derrogattory e-mail out of malice.

Now THAT I have a problem with.

In retrospect of course it is terrible what was said about the poor guy- but if this fact was known from the beginning no one with half a conscience would have ever made fun of him.

But the fact is that it wasn't- i'm sure everyone that said anything on the thread feels bad- and as for those that actually email him, well, that's taking it a little too far.

I couldn't have said it better.

Comments on Muscletalk

It has been brought to my attention that negative posts were alos posted on www.muscletalk.co.uk of which I am one of the owners. However I have not seen the thread in question.

As Elite has taken the center for resolving this issue, I feel it is my duty as a fellow board owner to post here (if that's ok?) an apology for any distress caused to the family. If I had been aware of the details I would not have allowed the thread to continue.

Should Stephen's father wish to email me should he need my assitance in anyway - [email protected]

I held my tongue throughout this whole thing, but I cannot believe that some people are apologizing because they found out the guy is retarded and saying they would have refrained from making unkind comments had they only known...

Did you really have no idea?

I mean seriously... to me it was almost as obvious as if Corky from "Life Goes On" was posing in a pea stained bikini.

It's truly peculiar how fast this spread to different boards. I mean, everyone pretty much everywhere (at least the boards I visit both US and Europe) was making fun of this guy. I myself guessed he was handicapped but didn't truly feel bad until reading this thread. There's a guy like him at my gym, obviously handicapped and kind of moves around erratically. I used to get pissed at him for distrupting my training (by doing nothing more than walking around & maybe getting too close while I was squatting etc. nothing major at all) but actually started feeling bad when I realized he really put much effort into his training. Nowadays I try to be friendly if I happen to be there at the same time etc. Stephen Takacs is probably the same. I'm sure he tries very hard so more power to him.

Excatly.

Some people's abvious attempts at back-peddaling are quite amusing to me.

But i still will not refrain from not criticizing his physique. He is a Bodybuilder, is he not?

Yes, he is.

Extrapolating from that pertinent fact, he has room for improvement. As do we all. Which is what bodybuilding is all about.
