Mr. Keith Moon Hangover

You did not post anything disrespectful. More of sharp criticism than anything else.

Please accept my apology. I was wrong in my claim.

Your Friend,,,,,,,,,,Il Duce

I accept your apology sir.

Anyway, Il Duce... If you don't like his posts, he's easy enough to ignore. In fact, there's an ignore button that will aid this.
It's not like he goes after people on a deliberate wind-up, contributing nothing but provocative nonsense and smiley emoticons.

In fact, I'd read more of his threads if my inside voice didn't go up and down more often than a Barnsley girls knickers due to his 'overuse' of 'certain' types of 'punctuation marks'.

That's "my" main "problem" with "him" as "well".

"I" am never "sure" whether he's calling the "reality" of some of the "things" he "posts" into question, '"cleverly" clueing "us" in to the inner, hidden "meaning", buried "within" his posts.

"Or" whether or "not" he is "just" a savage "butcher" of "written" English. I "mean", FFS, "the" italics "button" is "right" fvcking "there". It's "even" got a "slant"-wise "i" "on" it.

However, I "like" to "think" of him "as" Boxrec's inaugural "Gnostic" "acolyte", & spend "literally" hours "poring" over his "words" in the hope "of" gleaning "their" inner "secrets".

Which "at" least "sets" him apart "from" this "place's" average run-"of"-the-mill "comes-"across"-in-"a"-"way"-that-vaguely-"reminds"-you-of-"a"-racist" anti-"Ali" crank.

Il Duce is a 'bit' of a 'blowhard,' but I have 'enjoyed' reading many of his 'threads' and I am particularly 'fond' of his 'style' of 'writing.'
I don't understand his 'beef' with Ali, but a lot of his 'posts' are 'quite amusing'. He seems to do a lot of 'research,' even if a lot of his 'claims' are 'questionable.' I think OP should 'ignore' Il Duce if he is so 'offended' by 'his' 'posts.'

He doesn't like Ali, I'm given to understand.

I have listed Muhammad Ali as one of the Greatest Boxers on my All-Time list, and
have placed him as the Greatest Showman in Boxing, as well as one of the Greatest
Entertainers in Sports.

Does that sound like 'dislike' to you.

You spend most of your time insinuating, when not outright stating through made up quotes in bad faith and conjecture that he is not only a bad fighter, but a bad person.

Don't spit on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting, plenty of people here are smart enough to tell what you're doing.

Your whole presence here is about disliking Ali.

So, yeah.

fornicate Ali, great fighter + gigantic asshole. The most overrated 'good guy' in history. He was a racist piece of shit and an amazing fighter.

If he said what you just did, I'd have no problem with it, though I disagree.

I find his way of starting several threads and trying to be insidious about it what's most annoying, if he just came out and said it once and then moved on, I could at least respect that.

Barry Washington is a most hateful poster.

And Bobby-ptsd is just a plain old 'Ali Nut-Hugger'.

A little criticism about Cassius Clay does not equate hate.

You forgot me. Im your most avid hater.

Put me down as thinking The Duchess is a twat.

Personal issue with you only...

Il Duce wrote:I understand Evren B,

When one is constantly out-witted, hate will take the fore-front.

I feel sorry for your situation, and wish you well.

Gosh you are such an utter sinep !

Any chance that we could talk about Boxers Of The Past?

Please...and I'm sorry I take the bait everytime.

On reflection I am in fact in favour of that suggestion on another thread, give him one thread to use as his personal sandpit & then he can exercise his obsession to its fullest away from the normal run of things.

Everyone will be 'happy'.
