This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It really is more complex than that by ACross

airborne doesn't realize that he really is a peculiar cat, with not a small amount of obsessive compulsive tendencies. He devotes a lot of time to exercise, especially given he has 6 kids, is a very involved parent, and his a very successful guy with a difficult job. Kudos to him. But most people don't share his obsessions or quirks or priorities.

SEE posted a link to some insane guy's twitter feed. He called himself a doctor. Of course, he wasn't a doctor, as in physician, as he tried to insinuate on his diet/training/hooey blog. He was a former physical therapist (unclear if he ever actually had a PT license) and has no credentials at all in the science he was pontificating about, but hey, he did do a bunch of ironmans, which is hard for me to fathom any otherwise employed father training for.

Then again,, one our better posters could run from here to Silver Dollar City without breaking a sweat, and I know he coaches soccer and baseball and all the run of the mill geeky dad stuff I do because his kids play in the same CYC league as mine, so what do I do.

I don't think Chadwick gets angry at the portly.
