I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.

It's not really so much about arguing with Ion that I am complaining about....it has more to do with the fact that I feel Ion has hijacked a number of decent threads here on the discussion board spanning over a time period of who knows exactly???(many of these were threads that I once enjoyed visiting and posting comments on that were about the the original thread title).......and as others here have pointed out....As soon as Ion joins a thread it then transforms from being the thread associated to it's original topic into a new thread which is always pretty much the same thread then....some have referred to it as "The Ion Beza Thread"....the only real substantial difference between one hijacked Ion Beza Thread and the next is the exact nature of the insults offered up by Ion and the targets of his insults.....for example, the reference to genetics here as an attempt to belittle someone's intelligence was a new one.....the insults do share common themes though....and like I said ....the main focus is of course Ion Beza and his times and how he's better than everyone else in almost every way.
Sure I could just ignore it...and I probably should...sometimes it's humorous as Sam pointed out in another Ion Beza Thread .....and like a car wreck you can't seem to avoid reading it and joining in on some level.....but of course anyone here who complains about people arguing with Ion should point some of those same complaints at themselves since they also could simply avoid the thread all together as well right?....No one is making those people chime in with thier two cents worth either....It is futile though no matter how often I or anyone else keeps falling into the Ion Beza trap again.
