Be ready to back it up

I was reading slowtwitch comments the other day and then I was on a site called www.floswimming.org (its awesome, check it out) doing the same.

Who are you people that feel the need to comment on other poeple's lives and work. First off, if you are going to rip someone's work, post your name. these people who have no idea what it is like to be on the racing level of a pro triathlete are commenting on the pros as if they are equals. You are not, I am not. Not your business. these are not mutli-million dollar athletes that you are paying money to see. they are struggling to get by, paycheck to paycheck folks who are living out their dreams. They do need you to judge them.

On floswimming, someone was ripping a coach who posted a circuit workout becaus it wasn't going to help swimming and that he needed to do sets of 3 x 10 x 100's. Who are you? Are you training for the open water 10K. Then they posted only with their logon name. I want to know where this guys coach's. Whether his swimmers are at Trials or whether he is.

Just because it is the web and your comments are anonymous, doesn't mean they are not real.
