The couch thread

HOLY FUCK MOLY

"I also think the cover for this dirty business is to pay struggling fitness celebrities with good reputations paltry sums to share their works. Much like Hamas builds hospitals"

So TC's a bad guy for "throwing molotov cocktails" at CF but "Coach" can compare him to Hamas.

I also LOVE the selective interpretation and censoring of what constitues a "defense" of DJ v. a simple testimonial of his character. In PA if you have never been convicted of a crime you have what is called "good character". This alone is enough to raise a reasonable doubt and get you off. So, silly me, I think 20+ posts attesting to the accused's good character IS CLEARLY a defense of his actions and was deleted for exactly that reason.

Dig a hole.

Is there a fitness site called Vanguard or does he hate mutual funds too?

Don't know, but you can rate posts like we used to do at DD. Give Couch some 1's, he'll go insane.

Comrade Couch Szczepan, I think you misspelled 'couch' in your title.

HTH

What do you lurking Cultfitters think of you Coach's attacks on Dan John and his comparison of T-Nation to Hamas ?

Who/what the fuck is Hamas?

They do have CNN in North Carolina, don't they?

Cooch Glassman is a complete nut. How can anyone take him seriously?

On the other hand, it's been a while since we've seen such a complete online meltdown. He ranks up there with Gene.

Ross, I don't watch the news or read the paper. I get all of my news updates from IGx.

Ross,
You defended dragondoor, t-nation and Dan John from Glassman's reprehensibly slanderous remarks on the CrossFit forum, yet you tellingly refrained from uttering a single word in defense of IronGarm. Justify this incomprehensibly offensive behavior to us now or face excommunication from our cult.

Mickey,

It must be a crazy world...

Actually, I don't read the paper or watch TV, either.

Maza,

LOL!

I gave y'all a subtle shout-out:

Ross Hunt wrote: Now it seems that each of the principle S+C communities in the circles in which we all move - Dragondoor, CrossFit, Testosterone Nation, and other communities - is devoted more to the criticism and even the vilification of the other communities than to providing a forum in which individuals can educate themselves about fitness.

Of course, Irongarm was ALWAYS devoted to the criticism and vilification of other communities... but it used to be funnier, heavier on the humorous cross-posting and lambasting of particular goofballs and lighter on the anti-cult and clawhammer.

But what IGx does is not the biggest deal in the world... nobody should come here expecting a terribly civil standard of discourse.

I just read the Couch Rant. Holy fuck. He really is over the edge and gone. Toys in the attic.

GDG!

Reading that while concentrating on the 'kitty avatar' makes this post extremely hilarious.

I see Glassman is still digging that giant fucking hole he's been in for the last three weeks.

If he's too busy to do the WOD, what the hell is he doing fucking around on the internet all day?

But they can probably expect a standard of terrible discourse.

I've been rereading the NYT article. This is the nexus of Glassmans PR problems.

Just imagine, Galssman was probably stoked that he was going to get some big time press about CF. It must have felt like a kick in the nuts when the article came out and truthfully told how CF is a cultish club of wing nuts & Glassmans a short, dumpy, weak ass fucker who doesn't do the WOD.

It's a true "The Emperor Has No Clothes" moments. I'm sure there was group of sane people over at CF that had some reservations about "De Fuhrer" and then the NYT article comfirmed their darkest fears, Glassman is a guru nut job.

This is the reason Glassman's striking out and writing 3 page internet attacks. He was going for the brass ring. He probably had his nation wide infomercial, book tour, his appearance on Oprah, & 25 DVD set planned out in his mind. Then this damn NYT bitch torpeedos his grand plans.

Reading Glassman's posts makes me think that Pavel's style of dealing with controversy, ie; a very brief statement with no follow up or ignoring it all together, is the way to go.

Fat Cat · Post by **Fat Cat** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 11:54 pm

Pavel is like Jesus compared to Glassjaw.

You guys have set a new standard of wit, satire, and instigation by sending Couch HBAGlassman in to Loonyville.

Well done.

Carry on!
