J.T.,
First of all I want to say I respect your lifting abilities and what you do for NASA, your promotion. I have an affinity for NASA too, chiefly because of the great lifters and how helpful and friendly they are...To a degree, I owe NASA for some of the friendships I've forged, but with that being said, I think you are going to be biased on this issue...You can't be totally objective with Terry Tucker. You are an Executive Committee member, and it would look bad if you sided with somebody who questioned the organization. You haven't even heard Terry's side of the story, and any logical and scientific mind knows there are ALWAYS two sides to a story...I think what gets me here is we have heard ONE side, not the other side, and so many people are jumping to the conclusion that Terry is a disgruntled lifter who got angry because he got beat...Number one, he really didn't get beat, he came home with a lot of money, but two nobody's hearing his side of the story...Should we, as honest caring christians, listen to a lifter's side of the story as well, not only the organizations....J.T., I see you as a strong believer..What would Jesus do in this?? What would a FAIR person do? I think for the sake of this situation, it would be wise not to comment on it anymore until you have called Terry Tucker personally and gotten his side...It's the only objective and fair way to come to a conclusion. If your allegience's to the Executive committee and NASA are so strong that you cannot even listen to another person's point of view, then I would bail out from this thread...Your biases will outweigh your logic..Now with that being said, I'm not in a conspiracy with Terry, Jim Ray, or other NASA lifters that have been asked to leave NASA's forum...I have nothing negative to say about NASA or the lifters there. But I do find it obligatory to stand up for a friend, even if it means I lose my membership. And it's not only standing up for a friend, but it's telling people a simple message, "Hey, why is everybody jumping to conclusions, when only one side has been heard?" You guys have already made up your mind without having heard Tucker's side. J.T., I know you are much smarter than that, but I know your allegiances won't let you be fair on this...A man is not just somebody who is powerful on the platform. A man also stands up for what is right despite the popular grain of opinion and controversy. I do like you J.T., and you have been helpful with my quest in the bench press, but I had to be honest with you about this...And I don't troll, Tony Foster is Tony Foster, plain and simple.
