Re: Suggestion for LL and Staff
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sobrbiker883</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Sorry there's a void in your life since Maser's gone, but I'm not being negative, I'm just voicing my opinion that there is a more than plenty health and fitness forums on the internet. We all know that the key to fitness is move more, eat better.
Fitness is a legitimate topic, but is it really a topic we need to add a forum for on this forum? Would a fitness forum become a cash cow with vendors vying to sell their wares, so we can then look forward to finding cases of protein bars on prize tables at matches? Would it be a new opportunity for opportunists to try to make names for themselves and sell their wares when they have nothing to do with shooting or the shooting community? I'd posit that the majority of shooters here are of above average fitness capability and training, and that a forum to discuss that is superflous.
And actually, I have seen many shooters compete and run tactical precison matches with amazing skill yet in a shape is best described as "round" or "out of". Your statemnt to the contrary may exhibit experience a local demographic that has convinced you otherwise, but I've seen enough heavy guys kick ass at or run great matches that I don't buy that angle.
Your reference to savage110 is an uninformed and an obvious dig in its own right to get a rise out of me (hence my comment in kind), and has nothing to do with fitness and a need for a forum for it (or lack of need for it). If you'd like to discuss why I give the disrespectful little punk a hard time when he opens the door for it, I'm game, but there is no way that's germane to the topic at hand.

This is going off track but I would think a Forum sponsor has better things to do then give some teenage kid hell over the internet. That is very unprofessional and sort of like your other little statements that you drop around the forum, not very becoming of a forum sponsor that is here to serve the shooting community. He is part of that community and when he spreads the word that your a prick, your business or whatever it is that you do will probably suffer some. Your comment about Maser....... thats cute. I wanted him gone because he was a troll. He offered nothing to the site. Got my wish didn't I?! But if that's not the kettle calling the pot black I don't know what is. Every time Savage110 shows up you come in right behind with another statement about his "daddy's money" or "another teenage punk", you sound like the grumpy old fart that gives teens hell because you're not one of them anymore and can't stand to see someone coming up. Move along.... it's the internet, bud. Just some advice from one business man to another. I just think it's kind of pitiful to pick on a guy that IS supported by his parents still, so what? I am not defending him as I don't know him, but the few times he has talked to me he was courteous and respectful.
I think physical health is a good addition to the forum. Breathing exercises, lower back strength, Core work, all of these examples are what you need for a good strong and stable frame to make you shoot better. We don't need to invite Billy Blanks in here to sell his Tae Bo crap we have plenty of sponsors but if they want to pay Frank..... by all means thats more income for the site. Go right ahead.
