I'm just saying, if you can sit back talk trash and post a bunch of bull shit, stand behind your post with your idenity. I'm not talking about legit dialog or an actual opinion. It's the baseless comments that have no truths or merit whatsoever. It's not just the GF stuff....it's all across the boards on LR.
I never said you needed "balls" to post your opinion, you're not getting my point. There's a difference between posting your opinion and trashing someone and posting slanderous remarks. And if a person has the "opinion" to say someone sucks and they are slow, when clearly they don't suck, then they at least need to give an intellectual argument why that is. Are they better?
GF is obviously injury prone and has had his share of struggles his first couple years in college, there's no arguing that. I don't know the guy or follow him that closely, but why all the hostility towards the dude? What did he do that has people in up in arms?
Both of your post are right on. It just that when you can only run a 16 minute 5k you become jealous of the ones that can run a 5k 2 1/2 to 3 minutes faster than you. So you bash them out of frustration and jealousy. I would bet not one basher is an great runner. It's only the ones that dream of running fast that do the bashing.
