Wood's response to Couch -

Man, it's on days like this that I really *hate* being a moderator. Anyone wonder why I resisted opening up this materal for discussion?


My job (as best I understand it) is to ensure the AUP is followed, particularly with respect to the elements in the following paragraph:

We require a high level of respect to be shown at all times to other users of the board. Insults (either direct or indirect), bickering, and flaming of any kind will lead to suspensions and/or banishment from the board. Tolerance level for this behavior is extremely low.

This particular element seems to go out the window in threads that begin with: "Hey, look what some bozo is saying about CrossFit over there!"

Both Coach Glassman's and Steve Quadros posts are within those guidelines, although only just very barely so. The test I'm applying is: would I delete it (or reprimand the user) if it occurred between different users, or in another (less inflamed) context?

Steve's post passes (we've had worse elsewhere), partly because he drew the distinction (twice) between referencing a response and referencing a person. The same comment about a person would draw a warning.

Coach's post actually gets a warning, although only for the unnecessary dig at "Were he of average intelligence . . . " . (I don't get the need for such a statement in an otherwise generally well-argued post.)

The rest of it passes as statements of strongly-held opinion and perspective.

We can go on the tecnicality that Mike Boyle is not a member of this board, and thus does not fall under the guideline articulated above . . . but that seems a nit-picking distinction unworthy of CrossFit.


Coach, I understand that you clearly have strong differences with Mike Boyle, and I'm confident you feel justified in your opinion of him. Please accept the challenge of articulating those differences without insults.

Can anyone summarize this thread for me?

Insane shithead Glassman sounds like he has a fucking butt plug that's been jammed up his ass for 20 years.

FuckitHead, write out everything that you know so far.

What a load of crap. Yeah, why bother using the private message function when you can criticize someone in public. IMO, David is one of the few sensible people remaining on that board.

Agreed; David Wood is good people. Looks like Glassman's trying to sell him out. Fuck that.

Woods is good people. Several of the people that jerked the brakes on the kool-aid drinking bullshit over there got fed up and recently left the CF forums. David was always sensible. Too bad he's one of the few left.

Always keep copies, in case Couch decides to rewrite is sayings.

[quote=''Couch'']There’s a big difference between saying that if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of broken necks, we don’t want you around and saying that if the possibility of breaking your neck from falling on your head is unimaginable, we don’t want you around. Please.

Interpreting my statement, "If you find the notion of falling off the rings and breaking your neck so foreign to you, then we don't want you in our ranks” to show that we want to weed out the weak-willed is ludicrous, and, I think, no accidental misreading.

Look, everyone, if your kid doesn’t believe that you can be killed in a car wreck it’s immoral for you to give him the keys to the car. Is that simple enough?

I bring up Ms. Cooperman, the “journalist”, who wrote the NY Times piece deliberately. We could on the face of it say that she just didn’t get it. But here’s the rub: Stephanie Cooperman spoke at length with Captains JT Williams and Wade Rutland of Canadian Infantry School, Major Jon Barba of Colorado State Patrol and several unnamed SEAL/S who’d implemented CrossFit in their training duty. Each made ample point of the fact that CF had reduced injuries of ALL sorts across the board and dramatically. Why was this not mentioned in the article? Can it really be an accidental oversight, when the subject, tone, and tenor of the article is the dangers/risks of a fitness program? I maintain the only rationale answer is a resounding, “no!”

Were I to have to decide if Ms. Cooperman were stupid or unethical, perfectly aware of the possibility/probability of hybrid combination, I’d pick unethical.

In the case of Mr. Boyle, I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt – at least for now – in questioning his intelligence.
Mr. Boyle is publicly and repeatedly stating that we are the defendants of a liability suit. He’s implied that we deserve the suit and deserve to lose, but the fact is we are not being sued. In truth, the suit he is alluding to is one where we have been asked, and agreed, to be expert witnesses to the plaintiff’s case.

We have made rhabdomyolysis awareness and prevention, like infant drowning, and outfitting the USMC with workable fitness gear, a CrossFit corporate cause. Our rhabdo work, including the graphic of Uncle Rhabdo, have been very well received among more than a few nephrologists who deal with this illness professionally. The Uncle Rhabdo character has been a hit among these MD’s to whom we’ve sold/given dozens of T-shirts. They recognize us a world leaders in rhabdo awareness and prevention. They find the character funny and an effective educational tool. You can find some of these nephrologists posts among the comments on the day we released the Uncle Rhabdo character.

Assuming a cavalier, reckless, and callous disregard for rhabdo in our efforts is like thinking that Smokey the Bear makes fun of burned animals. Again: foolish, stupid, or some combination? You decide.

Misters Boyle, Cosgrove, Cook and the bulk of the NSCA stalwarts are finding their positions within the professional fitness community being eroded by the CrossFit community and it’s coaches and athletes. Communities that were once attracted to their offerings are increasingly less interested. We’re doing for the NSCA what Google has done for Yahoo.

I’d rather have an intelligent argument/debate/discussion on the merits of our approach, but Mr. Boyle has made it publicly clear he’s not interested. http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf...ed_Fitness.pdf

Better yet, I’d like to test our methods vis-à-vis Mr. Boyle’s but he has balked at that as well.

It’s easier for him, and the only realistic strategy he has, to make up imaginary lawsuits, imaginary injuries, and cast aspersions on our corporate and individual characters than it is for him to discuss, analyze, or God forbid, compete against our methods. Mr. Boyle and his colleagues at the NSCA have come to see that they’ll only win this battle for market share and mind share through political means and not on any rational/logical basis.

It may be of some interest to note that in our strategy sessions with in-house legal counsel, well over two years ago, during a “how are the barons of the fitness industry going to play their lousy hand” discussion, I offered that the soldiers of the NSCA would start playing the “dangerous” card, and that we’d find them enjoined in lawsuits as expert witness, all too eager to decry the dangers of CF and that logic, science, and fact would do play no role in these charges.

This is a battle for mind share. The NSCA has long stood unchallenged in its authority and reputation. CrossFit is a threat to the organization, its offerings, status, minions, and their revenues. If our methods were lacking they’d have published a comprehensive corpus of scientific support for that reality.

This is dirty and it’s going to get a lot dirtier. Mr. Woods is a very capable moderator, a brilliant man, and a man of immense integrity. He’s also not fighter, whereas, I am. I’ll not remove him regardless of his dislike for fight. When this war is over, maybe he can help broker the truce/surrender, but David, my Brother, you’re not suited for understanding or challenging men of ill will or temperament. In the meantime I’m going to skate the fine lines on our policies for engagement here and challenge both the intellectual capacity and the ethics of those whose professional status and survival depends on ignoring fact, data, science, and reality.

Some of you will quickly and rightfully refer to this as “personal attacks”, or as Mr. Woods described, “insults”, but when the facts have been put forth repeatedly – institutional adoption of CrossFit by municipal, state, and federal agencies has demonstrated it to be uniquely effective, efficient, and safe – only to be ignored or denied, then “personal attacks” are a reasonable and rationale second line of action.

One last thought. Mr. Woods says that Mr. Boyle and I have “differences of opinion”. That’s not correct. Mark Rippetoe and I have differences of opinion; Mr. Boyle and I have differences of opinion like a mugger and his victim have differences of opinion.

lol

Isn't this something like Philip Morris being a leader in teaching the dangers of secondhand smoke?

Nice.

Yes, anytime you see a crazy Crossfit quote, you should copy and paste it right in here.

Keep it alive.

Glassman is seriously a fucking retard. He needs his ass kicked. LOL at what a fucking retarded piece of shit he is.

No

For a guy who refers to him as "brother," shouldn't he know Dave Wood's last name is not "Woods?"
Just sayin.

He managed to free up the time by getting rid of all that pesky working out. Who needs it?

I stole that tip from him for my own internet ramblings.

More Shari updates. She's playing the "Hey Brandon, check out the hot guys I fucked in Chicago" card.

Those guys look like douchebags.

Their introduction to MFM threesome unfortunately left the F out.

I do wonder, why is Cockroach saying that X@ will save soldiers at war, while at the same time he's publicly doing workouts with lost ones?
