Speaking from the knowledge and perspective of one who was ACTUALLY THERE when the photo was taken, it is quite clear, and very unfortunate, that the context of, and the manner in which, the photo was taken has been severely misunderstood and grossly scrutinized.

The fact that such harsh judgements and blatant character assassinations have been made without knowledge of the true facts of the captured moment is quite lamentable.

Unpublishing stuff may or may not "be Crossfit" but refusing to back down on stuff that's patently wrong, and then going on the offence to justify an unsound position and deflect criticism by pointing the finger back at the critics certainly is Crossfit, it seems.

I know you think it's stoic and noble to buck consensus and front as a rugged individual, but cases like this the consensus is something you really ought to pay heed to.

How the fuck can you like her? She is a holier than thou hypocrite. She acts like she ignores the comments and you know goddamn well she is all over this page like her face in a fresh piece of poon.

Stop kissing her old ass and say it like it is.

Lis, you are a laughable hag.

Isn't it obvious? She's had to have sent the Gorilla some NSFW pics in addition to pics of her doing work without showing her face. Come on WGM, you know I'm right.

Psychologist Michael Langone, executive director of the International Cultic Studies Association, defines a destructive cult as "a highly manipulative group which exploits and sometimes physically and/or psychologically damages members and recruits."

In a statement which Congressman Leo J. Ryan later read into the Congressional Record, Dr. John Gordon Clark cited totalitarian systems of governance and an emphasis on money making as characteristics of a destructive cult

Because of all the comedy gold she generates. Fuck, look at today, the punchlines pretty much wrote themselves.

If HQ vanished overnight the world would be a colder, darker place.

WildGorillaMan wrote:So, I've been told that in his presentation to US Military Brass last week that part of Couch's sales pitch was that @fit has had trainees die from rhabdo.

HQ really needs to let him off his leash more often. Let's hope the video surfaces shortly.

whoa, apeman.

what presentation? for what purpose?

WildGorillaMan wrote:Interestingly, both "Yeah but how far can he throw a softball?" and equating BMack with DNF have entered the popular mainstream @fit lexicon. Thanks to the couch thread I'm seeing rank and file @fitters making jokes about both.

In other news, one of my Team Gorilla fans has a question for the group:

WGM,
Couch is coming down to Savannah to speak to a group on the military base down here this Thursday. Any pressing questions you think I should ask? I might challenge him to a softball throw out in the parking lot. Shirtless of course. If his "speech" gets interesting I will plan to record it

He would like to know if IGx has any questions they'd like him to ask Couch.

Jay wrote:How can anyone in this thread like her? She epitomizes the cult mentality of @fit to the T. Her blog posts, her passive aggressive tone when addressing her critics and much more.
