Dietrich being a F@8#wit! (or The Todd E Hamer Project)

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

This is a wonderful idea for a number of reasons, Todd. First, I am

well aware that Mel and the WSB gang had formed an " alliance " of

sorts. Most of it was surely an endeavor of " profiteering " , but I am

sure many are unable to allow themselves to see that. So, out of no

disrespect to Mel or the WSB gang(and to save my breath from That

discussion), I will take you up on your offer to stand point-proven

at the end of the day- this should give me the opportunity

to " practically display " a few things to the group at the tail end of

all of this(circumstantially).

[This is the start of Dietrich's post, which I have struggled with over the last

few days, on how to deal with it. Well, now I have decided to show everyone what

was written and respond myself - I may be over-reacting, but hey, it's something

I feel very strongly about!! It's probably not worth everybody chiming in on

this (unless you feel as strongly as I), maybe you could demonstrate your

feeling by send him a virus or ten (JOKE)]

Dietrich, your stupidity, audacity and ignorance amaze me, and I never thought

much of you to start with (no disrespect)!!!! To say that Mel did anything in

the name of profiteering shows that you know nothing about the man. Not only did

he give more than anyone that I know and work tirelessly to educate people, he

did it asking nothing in return! He spent so much time working on this list

(ultimately to his demise I believe) for free, just to 'spread the word', with

the exception of selling some of his books (which he would sell to you for less

than wholesale price, if you had a prior edition).

Mel had so many opportunities to profit from his work it wasn't funny,

especially if you know anything about 's current financial situation (and

his situation prior to his passing). I, like many of Mel's colleagues, was

constantly frustrated with his lack of profiteering, especially considering how

so many lesser people in this industry have a much higher profile and make so

much more money from peddling their wares.

What else can you say about a guy, who when deciding on what type of car to buy,

gets a (used) minivan so he can pick-up and drop off attendees to his

supertraining camp?

Dietrich, think for one minute, if you were going to align yourself with one

training system, for the sake of profiteering, would it be Westside?? How much

of a profile do they have outside of powerlifting and our little S & C world?

This is an idiotic statement and I really think you fingers have moved faster

than your brain in this case, but maybe not?

Also, if you had ever spoken to Mel on this topic, you would know that he didn't

endorse everything that the guys at Westside say, and in some cases didn't agree

at all - but hey, if he disagreed with you, then obviously he was wrong from the

start, no matter who he stood next to. If you have followed Mel's work for any

amount of time, you would also know that his 'alliance' with Westside wasn't a

deviation from his original beliefs, since most of it is based on soviet

research, something which Mel has always been an advocate of.

I will be blunt, if any of your posts contain any such nonsense again - you are

off the list. It may not seem like much, but I won't stand for having someone

with so little respect for the founder of the group, publicly questioning his

morals in such a ridiculous way, especially when he has no right of reply!

Pull your head in or vote yourself off the island, your call?
