I have Always loved this Website!

[ponyboy]

Gentlemen,

I live in a world where I have the appreciation of the fact that people from diverse backgrounds can share their opinions and show what they stand for. Right or wrong, good or bad, positive or negative, legal or illegal, this is the type of interaction we all learn from. I have been a member of MESORX for several years now and having been a semi/professional athlete for a majority of my life, I have enjoyed the input from many other athletes at all levels on this website. My background is professional polo and I have been a national champion in the sport of drag boat racing, I am a business professional and I play a key role in one of the largest cities in America’s redevelopment. Not a common bond but I do share a great interest in being tough as nails and dedicated to my sport. I have read thousands of posts regarding training and others peoples opinions. I have recognized uneducated people speaking very intelligently and passionately about experiences in their lives and very well educated people responding in a very positive manner during the discussion. I have also felt the pain of other members when they were going through tough times. There have been many posts that I did not agree with but I did learn something from the dialog and I also recognized that the authors were learning something as well by other people’s responses. People need to speak their minds and we need to listen. That is an open forum. If a forum is controlled by one person or a group of people with too many restrictions, this is no longer an open forum but is a controlled opinion and that is not the reason I became a member of MESORX. I have enjoyed the honesty even though I did not agree with all of the subject matter and this site has always been a great source of subject matter and supplements. I have to ask the question aloud, “Is the heat just getting to hot or has someone forgotten the reason they started this website?” This letter is not meant to be insightful but to provoke thought. Please get back on track with the reason the site was created. I will keep on training as hard as I can, I will keep on believing in myself no matter where I go and I will always appreciate people that make this world a better place by sharing their opinions.

Sincerely,

Pony Boy

If you are referring to the absence of a classifieds section at Meso, it was a conscious decision among the Mods and Admin to close it down. This was made for the purpose of protecting our members and protecting Meso as a whole, since liability and overreaching by the gov't under the Patriot Act has changed the way business is done. It is a fact that any major AAS message board will have federal agents monitoring them. I wont say how I know this, but it is a fact.

I cant speak specifically for the owner of this board, but I doubt his original intention was to provide a marketplace for illegal products. I think I have a pretty good idea about how he runs his business and his motivations, and I would definitely say it is about educating the masses, whether its training, nutrition or honest drug information. The amount of that type of information on this board and in the articles section is immense and is one of the best websites I know of that covers all aspects of building a better body.

If you were referring to something other than what I addressed, then I missed what it was. Must be the cold Ive had all week.
