I truthfully didn't see it was the natty forum so I guess I shouldn't have brought up the study. I just get skeptical since if we gauge the activity and members involved on the post. Majority are reps for selective companies. I use sns and believe you put out decent products but also believe it's a forum and discussion, whether you agree or not, should have an outlet.
Well, the reason for my involvement in the thread is that the question being asked and the thread title itself is literally the name of one of our products. And I'm not a rep, I'm a company owner.
The thread is titled 'Cloma-Plex' and Cloma-Plex is a Competitive Edge Labs product.

And Smont is not a rep for me. That's why when you implied that he had some type of incentive, I wanted to point out that no, he doesn't have any incentive at all to post anything about any of my companies products. If anything, it would be kind of the opposite because if you want to get technical, he's a rep for a competing company.
But both he and I enjoy supplements and helping people and we both post in a lot of the same threads and both commonly mention a lot of companies that neither of us are associated with if we like the companies and their products.
I think that posting the study was fine - because for context, it would show anyone that is natural that there is a good natural alternative available to serm's that has actually been tested head to head with them, and that's why we include it in Cloma-Plex.
I think where it got potentially confusing was starting to discuss serm drugs in the thread because of it being in the natural bodybuilding section. That's why I posted the post that I did to clarify for anyone that may be reading and following along and get confused, that the products that were being discussed were not serm's or drugs, and were safe and effective for natural bodybuilders.
I'm not sure what your comment about discussion should have an outlet - I absolutely agree with that, but I think that the discussions should generally be in the proper sub-forums in order to avoid confusion. For example, if this thread had been in the anabolics section, I wouldn't have posted the post that I did clarifying what I did. I always try to keep in mind that for every person posting, there may be dozens or more that read the thread at some point that will never post. And I post clarification posts a lot with that in mind because I always want people to be able to understand that conversations going on and not be confused.
That's why I posted my clarification post - and likely why Smont posted his too - to make sure that people that follow the natural bodybuilding sub-forum didn't get confused and think that they couldn't use Cloma-Plex, because Cloma-Plex is a great product for natural bodybuilders that are looking to increase their natural testosterone levels and reduce estrogen.
I hope that helps clear all of that up.
