When TD expanded and added this board the first few months was nothing but some good ole baws talking each other up and sharing workouts and diet tips. I guess part of it is a lot more people post here now but there's certain posters that are "my way or the highway" that just straight up ruin good discussions now. Just remember to start out with a 72 hour fast no matter what. If that doesn't work, do it again then go keto WOE.

People want quick fixes and nothing complicated.

The people who push complicated shite, push it on people like it's a religion.

There is no open dialogue without declarations and name calling.

Certain diet philosophies (less so training, I think) have gotten a little cultish, where they are the way, the truth and the light.

I'm firmly in the "more than one way to get results" camp. I have my preferences, but the more consistency, the better.

It's core philosophical differences.

On one hand, you have a group of people on this board who live in the actual real world who promote protein goals, small calorie deficits and TIME.

On the other, you have people suggesting that there are only 3 food groups: Meat, Eggs, and Piss. And when you're not eating Meat, Eggs and Piss you're not fricking eating.

I'm surprised so many guys are juicing. Not even for competition, just to get swole.

It seems like if we avoid nutrition talk this board can have good discussion. Nutrition threads always devolve into pissing matches

Maybe it is roid rage

People have their beliefs and reasons for advocating them. As you can see in this thread, a lot of the people are condescending to the other viewpoints because they think they are right and others are wrong.

A lot of the opinions on this board are based off the physical measureables. I would say that the regulars here make it a pretty solid fitness board, an ok health board. To expect a good health board anywhere is not very wise because we have shoddy lobbyist backed science. As stout said, it's a lot like the poli board. You will find good health information, but you have to look through it all to find out who is most correct.

The same thing that happens to most good things, unhappy miserable a-holes want to come piss all over it. People don't want to be tolerate of diversity, they just want to ridicule everything that doesn't align with their beliefs, even some of the best posters get caught up in bashing other people's ideas/opinions. It sucks, but predictable unfortunately. I say do your part to keep the board positive and relevant.

I would love to post more on this board as well but the constant bickering is annoying.

Different strokes for different folks doesnt fly with the diet maniacs here

It's just like 2 posters. It isn't "the board".

We can just ignore them.

Nothing really happened. This board is a microcosm of today's health market. We've always had some disagreements even on putdowndafork V.1. Some are here seeking general health, some looking to lose weight, some to gain muscle, some to gain nutritional thoughts. These subject can have completely different journeys and outcomes. All of us have different opinions on these matters.

Now, with all that said - I typically stay out of weightlifting and muscle gain threads because that isn't my wheelhouse. What I don't appreciate is being called names by some here when they offer nothing on the subject. Just name calling with zero contribution. I can appreciate a good discussion on matters, but name-calling is only a distraction that sidetracks the thread. If you don't like what I have to say - refute it with something, don't just call me a "keto zealot" or "ketard" - which itself is ridiculous as I've even moved on from promoting it, I just accept that it can be easier than carnivore. What I also hate is bad science or science taken out of context.

I highly doubt we will ever have a koombya board. A respectful disagreement can be healthy as lsu777 and I have been back and forth for years now.

Pretty much three posters at least-arguably 5. Lose those, and the board is great again.
