I never say anything that I don't mean as I intended to say it. I am blunt, and I am quite disturbed by some of the reactions here. Hey, I didn't get a tactless award for nothing you know
. If people didn't intend it how they worded it, then that's fair enough, but just because I know certain people here doesn't mean I choose to disregard certain things they say. It also doesn't mean I don't think highly of them either. It may have knocked them down a peg, but hey. :p And likewise, I am sure there are things I have or will say that will knock me down a peg in peoples eyes. But I stand true to my statements. Oddly enough, it's not so much a case of protecting the younger members, because quite simply I don't beleive in hiding people from the truth. Afterall we were all young once and done these things anyway... No matter how much others protested, it's what makes us who we are.
None of this is a reflection on Lozzi at all. But rather, my astonishment, and recoil over comments made by several of the older members here. And I press again, wether they mean't what they said or not.
As another note along these lines, I feel I should add how very cautious most parents are with their childs activities online, and seeing many members parading a photo of a 16 year old girl as 'sexy' would most certainly give out a dangerous underlying tone. And, could result in the forum getting a very worrying image, resulting in parents disallowing their children to join the wonderful world of PowerBocking.
Take this as you will, but I feel I have highlighted some very crutial points, and possible explained the reasons behind my words a little better.
