MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: DEBBIE DOWNERS

[dawn16]

@curtswill Can we block the guy who commented on my last post saying "the chemo will help with weight loss! "

 

[curtswill]

@dawn16 Absolutely. Find the comment and report it

 

[dawn16]

@curtswill Done. Thank you. Trolls shouldn’t bother me, but that one did.

 

[curtswill]

@dawn16 He’s banned now

 

[jim_68]

@curtswill Thank you for doing this! My best wishes on your medical journey the empathy you have will make you a great doctor as well..

 

[curtswill]

@jim_68 Ooops. I should change my flair I guess. I am a PhD in molecular biology, not a real doctor like @jekyll

 

[jim_68]

@curtswill Haha! With a handful of PhDs in my family (and as a PhD dropout), you are the real Doctor and medical doctors like Vlad are usurpers of the title

 

[curtswill]

@jim_68 That’s what I say!

Enjoy the sub Report any harassment

 

[jekyll]

@curtswill Hey, /@jim_68 is a kettleballs regular and a neat dude

I call myself physician since that's what we're SUPPOSED to be called before physicians took over doctor and started wearing lab coats to derive more authority. We're the fake doctors, bb!

 

[jim_68]

@jekyll Haha just pulling your leg Doc. Vlad I have medical docs who I have to keep happy on the other side of the family as well

 

[dawn16]

@curtswill My hero!!! Seriously, thanks.

 

[curtswill]

@dawn16 Please report any trolling comments you get. We work to make this sub a supportive space

 

[aero17]

@curtswill And hey, if you have a problem with this rule please glance over at Rule #6 "Mods have the final word."

I appreciate this decision mods, will likely help remove some of the more annoying comments on folks' posts.

 

[brittt25]

@curtswill Honestly. I feel this, some advice is just trash and some folks are just wanting to post their achievements and or ask for questions. No need for the negative Nancy's, there is always ways to tell someone something without being a dick.

 

[snowbrush]

@curtswill Bravo

 

[an8id]

@curtswill Good ruling. Is it acceptable to have legitimate concern for someone's technique? For example "you seem to be arching your back when you deadlift, be careful! Try "xyz" to prevent injury."

Not that I'm in a position to be giving such advice, just curious for the future.

 

[sweetpants]

@an8id I'm not a mod but I'd personally accept such criticism if they can provide any kind of evidence that what they are saying will actually reduce injury risk.

 

[blossoming]

@sweetpants Your stipulation is impossible.

 

[mlenadc]

@blossoming Then the criticism can't be valid

 

[mlenadc]

@an8id This is exactly why people should not opine from a place of feelings rather than facts.

If by "arching" you mean "rounding", NO, it's not inherently more risky to pull rounded.
