If TS had presented this knowledge in a more tactful way this thread would not have produced the awesomeness that is has!
Ripskater: I think the issue is how information is presented and not whether we agree or disagree.
Had he arrived at a sports medicine conference and did what he did, he'd get far worse treatment.
Really, honestly, what the hell are you talking about? "If I presented this knowledge in a more tactful way"? I presented a small snippet of the AMI study, with a link, and ZERO personal statements. PLEASE tell me how this was not tactful? What should I have done differently?
Then, I exchanged 2 comments with Lat Flare, which included a statement that had 2 opinions:
"In my opinion the single biggest factor in loss of physical function, performance, strength, ROM, and biggest single causal factor in breakdown, injury, inability to recover from injury. Mostly ignored by the medical, fitness, s & c communities."
The first is clearly stated as "my opinion". I'm happy to defend or explain my position. Regarding the "sports medicine conference", I've presented to the Sports Med Orthopedic Surgeons at a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital (ranked top 5 by US News and Report). I stated that I think AMI is the single biggest factor in loss of physical function, etc. There was no negative response of any kind. Try again fanboy.
Miaou's response to that was: "This sentence doesn't make sense."
That's obnoxious. I GUARANTEE you that if Miaou went to a Sports Med conference and spoke like that, he would not get a good reception. Because it's obnoxious. He's trying to be Alpha, and show me who's boss.
You guys defend this as "He's very direct." "He's blunt." That statement is not direct, it's obnoxious. If he had said, "I don't understand what you mean." "Can you clarify this statement." "Explain." I would have happily obliged. But that's not what he did, he was combative. But still, I didn't push back at this point. I responded without combativeness.
BTW, the sentence doesn't make sense to...Miaou. Just because he doesn't understand my point doesn't not make my point wrong. The breach of decorum is Miaou's, but again you are so defensive of him, and protective of him, that you see what you want to see.
"Mostly ignored by the medical, fitness, s & c communities". This is an opinion based on my experience. If Miaou has a different opinion or experience, I am happy to discuss that. But Miaou doesn't want a discussion, he wants to be Alpha, so after 1 exchange he posts: " If whoever you asked about it has never heard of it then you need to associate yourself with less incompetent individuals." It's obnoxious. So after two posts of him going Alpha and being obnoxious and uneccesarily combative, I called him on it.
That's it. That's what happened. Then the fanboys jumped in and derailed the thread. So really, you're sticking to "you need to be more tactful". Show me where my analysis in this post is wrong. Show me where I was not tactful, where I started shit with someone.
