mark mcqwire and skip,
I do apologize with my wording and foul language. I am used to the other boards I have posted on and those people are used to my right to the point sometimes foul kind of way. I do apologize. However I still believe a post should not be deleted b/c it possibly could hurt a sponsors sales. These boards are meant to be a place where people like ourselves can privately talk about things we are using that the gov't doesn't allow nor publicly accepted. On these boards we share insights, tips, facts, results and opinions along with links that could be used to further enhance our physical development safely.
If the purpose is to simply conceal the truth or information to protect a sponsor then this site and it's owners, moderators and endorsers are in the wrong line of business and need to look into starting up supplements sites and simply be visitors to "information" based boards to PLUG their company's products.
I never bashed any sponsor or stated any name of a company that sells them. You are taking my original post out of context and stating I bashed them which I never did nor do I know who they are or care to know. You stated I said I don't like the bars (Tri-O-Plex) well that is a blatant LIE. In my first post I stated I loved the taste of them especially the caramel apple and I have always eaten one a day as a snack or meal replacement.
I have many friends that are sponsored or work for supplement companies and I get most if not all my protein, bars and supplements for free or half price. I used to get 3 boxes (of Tri-O-Plex apple and chocolate chip) a month shipped to me from a close friend who works for VPX because the owner is friends with the maker of the TriOPlex bars and he is the one who sent me the information and we were both dissapointed.
Why or how would I benefit if people or do or don't buy the bars? Well it would be nice to know that if a company is lying about their ingredients then they will get what they deserve which is a low profit margin and is a sign for them to make the right choices and fix their prices, labels and or ingredients.
Once again I apologize but whether you are men enough to admit it or not....you know I am right. These boards should not be used to push companies regardless if the products are great or terrible. A banner is enough at the top of the screen for sponsors. There is no need for representatives of the board to OBVIOUSLY back and plug these sponsors. If they have wonderful products that everyone loves then let the members discuss them amonst themselves and add your HONEST (if possible unbiased) opinion and the said product/s.
Enough said now if you'd like go ahead and delete an informative helpful post b/c it conflicts with the monetary issues of the board at hand. Peace~
