And thank you back for taking the time to write again at such a time. I'm sure nobody genuinely disliked you; its more banter that's par for the course in this sport! And nobody would wish what has happened to you on anybody, so I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say the best wishes and prayers have been most sincere.
I'm glad you're on the mend and look forward to when you're back in the swing of things - but let me just repeat what's already been said: take it easy, take a holiday if possible, and don't rush things. Boxing will still be here when you're back to full strength and nobody will begrudge you some well-deserved R&R.

As Oliver has already said Frank, we've all had a bit of banter on here, but it's just banter and nothing more than that.
Like many others on here, I don't personally know you, but your passion for the sport is clear for everyone to see and while people may choose to disagree with you from time to time over certain issues, as all adults do, you'll always command a level of respect and goodwill.
Hope you're well on the road to recovery

So we won't see you in Bolton on Thursday ?
Only joking Frank.
Please concentrate on getting yourself 100% right.
That's the priority.
Everyone in the Rhodes camp is thinking of you right now, and wish you a full and speedy recovery.
Take care Frank.

Just because people disagree with your opinion sometimes, doesnt mean they "dont like" you. Personally really glad you're making a good recovery, but please, make sure you have a good rest and come back large* as life.
*Not literally, unless you have stilts.

Frank, I know a lot of Irish posters on here have the craic with you over the Dunne-Munroe issue but anyone that followed Darren, including myself, knew how much he appriciated everything you did for him and that you helped him a lot in London including involving him in your own family activities.
From the bottom of my heart I wish you well and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the Sutherland family.
Get well soon so we can start slaggin ya off again.

Glad you feeling better Frank.
Most on here will have disagreed with you at some point - as most on here will have disagreed with almost everybody else at some point .. but I hope you now realize the respect we all have towards you.
All the best.
