No one needs to break up your posts and reply to every part of it. You even said you cant help but feel thats why people are being x towards you, then bolded the part about being naturally strong, so yes you have to some extent acknowledged it.
Lifting for gainzzz

That's misconstruing what I'm saying though. It's clear that I'm not weak looking at the powerlifting tables, I think I'm within the top 5.
By people, I meant Monkee, I couldn't see any other reason for why he'd have such a melt down and claim everything I was saying was ridiculous, then refuse to actually qualify what he meant.
The impression I got was "you liar, you've been lifting for ages, stop pretending you haven't".

It is misconstruing it, because I can acknowledge that I'm naturally high starting point whilst not thinking I'm superman, as I said, it's kinda obvious and not much of a surprise due to how much I weigh.
Do you have any idea what his meltdown was over then?
As for whether it matters, I think it does otherwise we wouldn't have competitions or power lifting tables.

But, as I've asked you multiple times, why out of everything I said, was it that you chose to respond to, with a response to something I never actually said?
I knew I'd get the blame for the posts you're making, so I'm not surprised of course.
But it seems like a simple enough question for me to ask.

Now you're just twisting what I'm saying. My point was that Monkee's comments smacked of "Your lifts seem quite high, you're lying about not having been into lifting much and taking it seriously".
The way I've been jumped on for things I haven't said, compared to the way no one's said anything to him for his melt down is just a bit odd.
I'm talking about your strength relative to the national standard, not a small group of lifters of whom only a small number train for strength and fewer still have actually participated in a powerlifting competition.
I'm not saying you're weak either, just not strong to the extent that people would react badly out of jealousy.
Edit: Ok, I'll indulge you, let's see how it goes.
I quoted that part because I thought it was a good example why people are reacting badly to you. What you quoted implies that you think people are reacting badly to you because you haven't had to work all that hard for your level of strength. This is obviously an assumption, and a fairly inflammatory one.
I didn't address anything else you posted because I wasn't interested in doing so, and it wasn't relevant to my point.

He refused to speak for himself, he should at least have something to say for himself after such an outburst.
However, the response afterwards from people was pretty much "stop picking and being confrontational".
I'm not really sure what you mean.
But it was pointless to say because I didn't say that I'm so strong, people are getting jealous.
I've already said I am assuming he's claiming that I am lying and that he was being bitter about that.
He said all my claims were ridiculous, how would you interpret that if not "stop lying"?
You should know the way some people are, they don't like others having things that they themselves have had to work very hard for.
Firstly, I didn't even insinuate you'd been posting here for years as far as I can recall. Never remember you posting here before recently.
Secondly, I don't care much for strength. I train for bodybuilding and ultimately to get in good shape when I can be bothered to cut again. You're a strong chap yes, but you're so far removed from what I consider to be something to aspire to, it makes it hilarious you believe I could be jealous.
I'm not jealous of the guys stronger than you, who are in MUCH better shape. Please, PLEASE explain to the guys here, who know I don't train for strength, why I would be jealous of your lifts.

Yes, yes you did. Lawd at least have a grasp on the claims you're making before you make them and then call me a fantasist.
You go from claiming that you've been seeing my BS for years, and that you've had enough of my fantasist claims, to now claiming that you've never even seen my posts around here before.
I didn't say you were jealous, I said bitter. They're different words that mean different things. I find it hilarious that someone is responding to something I never said, again.
Why don't you get a grip on what you're actually saying before you start with this?
O LaWD, I actually just took the time to read back what I even wrote originally, and it seems it's you that misunderstood, shock horror. I simply said in recent years I simply can't be bothered to bite my tongue. That wasn't aimed at you, that was in general. That was me saying years ago, I'd have not bothered replying.
But yeah, you go claiming it's everyone else talking you out of context, when it's actually you who doesn't even read or understand what is written.
To clarify, I have never insinuated you've been a member here for years. I have never noticed you until recently. I was referring to a characteristic of myself which has changed over the years.
Good one tho. Well played.
