    I think John D's name in French translates to Jacques Sniffeur.

    I'm so mad I had to work today and missed the last eight pages of this thread. I'm so far behind on everything, I don't even know where to begin, whatever.

    No, get it right. Responding to someone's going after my family, and in a factually inaccurate way.

    I'm not an instigator, but a defender.

    jcm is provoking, I'm not. Big difference. But you already knew that, spup.

    Huh?

    I asked for evidence that your brother is who he says he is. He's the one who provoked this 4-day circus. For whatever reason.

    You responded by threatening my family.

    See, I'm not saying anything about this, or Doc's stuff, or Ragu's stuff. It's funny, harmless. It's not "Your brother has no credibility" or "He has stated no facts," etc. Make fun of him all you want. I'm not the speech police here, I'm the BS police. BS = false, libelous stuff. That's different than good-, or even bad-natured ribbing. Please try to stick to the latter and avoid the former and you won't hear anything from me. Trust me, I'm not having fun here. Thanks.

    OK, after some thought, here's the biggest thing bothering me.

    Your brother puts up these videos and posts on here to tell us about it. All the while, he keeps telling us there's going to be a special guest giving us lots of scoops and info. Then, when said special guest (who hasn't been named yet, for some unknown reason) says he doesn't want to be on the video and says your brother only trained McGwire for 2-4 weeks, your brother turns around and talks about how SG isn't credible and is just out slander him.

    Now my question is this: If your brother is all about integrity and credibility and is giving us all these scoops (which were shit, by the way), why should we believe anything he says after he put someone who is not a credible source (at least according to your brother) on his video? If SG isn't credible, why should we believe your brother, who put him in the video, is any more credible?

    You both say SG just showed up and demanded (maybe begged is the better word) to be in the video without being approached about it. Well, how did he know John D. Emanski, back-to-back-to-back powerlifting champion, was doing the videos at all if John didn't bring the subject up to him?

    How can John turn around and impugn SG's credibility when it was John who vouched for his credibility in the first place?

    John and SG turned on each other pretty quick for something that was supposed to be all about giving us good info and scoops and helping Mark, whatever.

    From jcm:



    "Huh?

    I asked for evidence that your brother is who he says he is. He's the one who provoked this 4-day circus. For whatever reason.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    No, wrong. There will be no "Jedi Mind Tricks" here, my friend. Sorry. I did not threaten your family, unless by threatening your family you mean calling into question their credibility, veracity, and intelligence as you have done to MY family.

    You made factually incorrect statements about what he wrote and videotaped. To me, that is an attack. To top it off, you smart-aleckedly punctuated it with a 'just so you know.' Twice.

    You are not the victim here. You are the perpetrator. You could have stayed quiet, but you wanted to score 'snark' points by posting what you did. I dealt with you in an appropriate manner, as one who attacked my family. Please don't repeat your mistake, or continue to portray yourself as a victim when you are the perpetrator. Thank you.

    Oh, and I must say, this thread was much more fun when it was about snarky responses and making fun of JDV's ability to pull hot chicks and Raiderettes, whatever.

    Agree with that, bigpern.

    Show of hands, how many people watched all 10 parts of this? Five? One?

    I totally agree. And I'll work on your response to your other post, which I think is fair and well said. Thanks for being civil, BP.

    I played like 8 parts of it. I probably watched parts of three, and had the other five playing in the background while piddling around on here.

    Still funny.
