Are these people just people that you don't like or you honestly feel they are "frauds"?

Yeah, I don't like frauds.
I also don't like Pat Anold, but I wouldn't call him a fraud (BTW, we've somewhat managed to be civil to each other lately.) I think he's sincere, I just think he put out a bunch of crappy products. In fact, they all suck except for 6OXO IMO. And that one is ridiculously expensive.
I have nothing against Rick Valanino, but come on.
The other four. (Companies don't count. Maybe we can make a seperate list though)
Cy Wilson. Another "made up" expert. He has some knowledge by his concepts are beyond idiotic.
Bill Roberts: The one time whiz kid has been proven wrong more often than not. He also called Biotest a bunch of lying clowns and now he hawks crappy supplements for them. How pathetic is that? Inventor of Androsol which could have been called "Instant Impotence" and Mag 10 which is subtitled "Who Needs Hair?" Recommended Vitex for estrogen management without realizing it's an anti androgen.
Scott Connely: Okay,he's old news, but this former anesthesiologist used to give clinics where he told people MetRx was the only food they needed and if they didn't believe it they were stupid. He also said he had no interest in making a protein drink and that MetRx was such a remarkable discovery he presented to the board of directors at some medical clinic and that's how it got recognized. What a load of shit. The guy worked for the Slim-Fast company. He and Bill Phillips hatched the scheme to convince bodybuilders MetRx was a super engeneered food. (I can't believe that worked) Well, it did taste pretty good compared to what was around at the time. I guess you can include The owner of Cybergenics in here as an dis-honorable mention. (His name escapes me at the moment).
And lastly, most strength coaches. I've mentioned this before. They try to teach people how to get as strong as them but if they were honest they'd just say "Have my parents." I've interviewed a lot of stregth coaches and none of them ever said they were a weak kid who got strong using a particular method. They were all strong from the start.
As much as I think Swolecat is a huckster who charges too much and could use a lesson in class, I wouldn't call him a fraud. And Larry Scott? Can't diss the original Mr. O. If he came out with a lousey product , well...I honestly believe that HE believed in it. Larry's a good man.
I'm sure I'm missing a few others.
