Agree, and the same runners are so disappointed and shocked because they can't interest anyone else in our sport. Ever wonder why? You nailed it. Runners are asinine, self-centered, pricks who seem to go Full Retard on these boards. Being assholeish doesn't exactly bring in the fans.

I don't think you have to generalize those qualities to runners.. I'd bet most of the trolls on here can't break 5 in the mile (not that you have to break 5 to be considered a real runner..)

The internet in general seems to bring on "Full Retard" mode in a lot of people

How many aliases do you have.

Just as many as everyone else I would suspect.

Welcome to 2001. It's not a novel observation.

That so touched me man. I'm going to change my name to Mc Lovin and write nothing but positive and uplifting things.

posting their missives anonymously seems to embolden some people, and they address others here in the rudest of ways.

in ways they never would if speaking face to face.

i feel like most in the running community are so cool, friendly, and compassionate, but it's not evident on the boards where posters spit hate and sarcasm at almost every opposing view.

("vibrams suck!" "you're an idiot for thinking webb is coming back" "crunches are for losers like you")

why so hostile, friends?

this is a gathering spot on the internet we are lucky to be a part of.

embrace it - foster comeraderie - bond.

and finally, chill out or f*** off.

It ain't allgood. You are imposing on my freedom to be a dick. It is a free country after all. I mean, what you have again skinny little asian bitches. Did we steal your milk in middle school, punk ass bytch.

the lrc boards are like Fight Club - regular guys get on these boards, let their calm facade go, and whale away.

it's cathartic for most people

although the endless racial bashing has actually hurt my quality of life. And it shows up even in the running threads, so you can't avoid it.

I am mostly disturbed by the clear display of illiteracy on these boards. Original poster is saying "If you can't write something nice, don't write at all". I say "If you can't write, don't".As below: First one is not even a sentence. Second should be "wail". Whale is a noun. Wail is a verb. It would do a lot of good for many LR poster and posers to take remedial grammar lessons.
