Did I mention that Glassman may be a crossdresser?

Somebody probably linked to it on T-Nation or similar, or back-channel moonie conspiracies are being discussed.

Ideally, this thread will pop up early on a "CrossFit" google search within a few days.
Why doesn't somebody cross link it to a crossdresser site...really up the count? I don't remember any off-hand.

Couch is losing control, the tinfoil hats are slipping:

http://www.crossfit.com/discus/messages/3499/18709.html

Coach is always contrarian....also tends to overreact.

These personal attacks by coach make him look like Napolean. Dan John's integrity is not the one in question.

Of all possible ways for coach to send a message to DJ, the one he chose had to be the least appropriate.


Straighten those idiots out, Greg!

I was gonna post a Crossfit criticism here, but I've never 'done' 'Fran' so I must keep the criticisms to myself.

"Someone who can't do Thrusters or Pullups shouldn't be criticizing CrossFit, anyways."

I can do pullups fine. Still pretty good at 'thrusters', though I don't get to do them as much as when we first got married.

I talked to a couple CF "community" type higher ups today, non tin foil hat wearers, and suffice to say I think calling Dan John "a coward" is going to be the last straw for some. No matter how much you like the workouts you gotta think twice about being tied to Glassman. For some reason it's percieved as even worse then calling me a dumbass - go figure.

I keep thinking of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now wearing a Pukie t-shirt.

This reminds me of you advising SRKC's during the great DD-IG war of the worlds.

RD, I think you were wrong to call Bill a butterfly.

It has become apparent to me that he is the "coal mine canary" of fitness.

The higher ups are all cool people. Couch better be careful or it's going to be him and Tyler all by their lonesomes, while Robb and others start CrossFitt(tm) and make bagloads of $$$$.

Higher Ups? Is there some sort of Star Chamber over there controlling it all?

What the hell are the 'higher ups'? Seems to me that if such a hierarchy exists from which all true knowledges are disseminated, that ought to be a crimson flag of sorts.

Matching thoughts with the Doughy one ought to cause concern as well...

I think the lesson here is that when Bill gets gung-ho about your program is the time to get worried. Unless you can make it through the week and he moves on to his next victim. He's like a serial training program killer with butterfly tendencies all wrapped up in narcissistic self-admiration.

Anyone remember the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry, as a ski bunny in spandex walks by, says, "Would you look at the ass on that one?" and Lloyd, referring to her male companion, says, "Yeah, he must work out." That's Bill.

By "higher ups" I mean the same thing as let's say SRKCs, certified people currently, and by currently I mean as of yesterday but maybe not tomorrow, part of the CF team.

I'm not trying to be "cool" but I'm not going to "out" people if they decide to go a different way then how they feel today. I'm sure LOT'S of CFers, affiliates and whatnot were on the phone today going "what the fuck was that? He called Dan John a coward??"

The Renegade is correct. NFW would Couch have gone that ballistic if not for the clusterfuck a week earlier.

Pizza Boy

While I have readily admitted to flitting over the last couple years I have still never said anything bad about KBs or Pavel. I believe this whole CF thing started because I called out Glassman on an anti KB post.

I've certainly had it out with Sonnon but never gave up hope till he posted the "world San Shou" thing. And I've never dissed CBs as GPP for grappling.

I may have induged in some fitness whoring the last couple years but I've always been last in line to trash those I've bedded.

As a final point to this post, anyone who gets on the phone with anyone else about stupid unimportant shit posted on the internet needs to get a life.

Perspective, comrades. Ask J@ck. He knows all about it.

I did call him fat. But I didn't make fun of "Gangster limp" like that maeny Hollis did.

By calling DJ a "coward" he has simply ended any confusion that existed after 40,000 combined hits here and at T-mag.
