NFL Strength Standards

[Mark Rippetoe]

I meant to say that his charging is quite unfortunate (for broke people), although I imagine he is quite happy and I wish him the best of luck in this endeavor.

It would be better for you to get un-broke than to worry about somebody who values their time more than you apparently do. I am ashamed of the fact that I let you post here for free.

This conjures up images of John crying profusely and drying his tears with hundred dollar bills.

I knew what you meant. I agree it's sad that you apparently have no money. It's not sad that he is charging for his time though.

There are numerous possible responses to this, so I'll list them.

1. If you thought I was implying I'm owed John's time or he isn't free to charge as he likes, you are mistaken. I am not mad that he charges.
2. I would be less broke if I didn't put all my time and money into getting strong.
3. Will you be releasing a manifesto soon, so that I may conform to your worldview?
4. What are you trying to accomplish with that remark? Where does it get you?

[Mark Rippetoe]

1. Good. I'm very happy that I misinterpreted you, and that you don't feel that it's a bad thing that a person gets paid for what they know.
2. You would also be less broke if you earned more money. There will be time for this eventually.
3. You are not required to conform to my world view. But when you imply that John is a prick for charging for his website, it leads me to believe that you think my work here is owed to you.
4. Perhaps I have accomplished it better with these remarks.

[The_GOAT]

I'm glad we have come to an understanding.

[Mark Rippetoe]

I, too, am very happy.
