just to say thankyou

so, on a rare trip to bodybuilding.com (i do have an acount never posted though) i sign in and have a look through the forum, in a word to how i felt? disgusted! you have new guys coming in asking typical new guy questions and basicly being made a complete fool out of by some jumped up meat head. there was 1 post where a guy was showing his progress on his arm training. 99% of the guys are shooting him down telling him thats the skinnyest arm ive ever seen and do you even lift? im telling you its like a zoo over there! just a big popularity contest. im so glad to be back here on home soil. i wont be going over there again. so basicly thankyou to you all for welcoming me in to your homes and taking the time to reply to my threads.

1 thing i did notice is they had an eating disorders and anorexics support group thread, could that be worth adding to our forum?

i hope im not breaking any rules here.

Glad that you feel that way, Ben

That's why I decided to stick around, too.

It's not always easy to be patient, understanding and helpful, but it is very easy to be a total jerk. The people that are weak of mind take the easy route. It's also the weak people who get nowhere in life.

Laugh at the reprobates, and nothing more.

I've also posted questions to the forum and didn't even get a response.

I completely agree that here is the place to be.

Yeah that's why I'm here too; everyone is very patient with my newbie questions and there is a lot of support and encouragement freely given. Dissing someone's progress is just awful.

That's why I stay here, and have my journal on MP. I have had so much support and help, I'm sure it's one of the reasons I'm winning my eating disorder battle. By the way I think a sub forum on Diet and nutrition would be a great idea!

Try starting a new thread in the "Health and Wellness" sub-forum. See who contributes and where the discussion goes.

i think it could be a good idea. since we already have 2 pepole on this thread alone with eating disorders think how many we have on this forum. and im guessing you will all be at different stages. and if we assigin the right moderators for it and get some experts comming in hopefully it will be a huge help to you all. i heard that education is the only cure for an eating disorder.
