People with know-it-all claims that aren't factually/scientifically based are gonna know it in pretty short order. At the same time, he's very helpful with answering questions that people honestly have, or engaging in give & take discussion with people who are intelligent about their own approach to sharing information & opinions. He might not be all warm & fuzzy in how he does it, with all kinds of pats on the back & reassurances & handholding, but that commitment to helping others achieve their fitness/health goals is still there. I don't really care if he's not all warm & fuzzy about it. Even if I might wince at the occasional "meanieheadedness."

I'll second this. I've learned more from there in the past year or so than I have any other place or any other time. The majority of the time if you're a retard then you're treated like one. If you're a contributer then you're treated like one. The two aren't exclusive
