"John said something controversial, something he knew would offend, something he later admitted was aimed at those on the other thread then ducked behind "personal comment" when someone called him on it."

Total rubbish, your fevered imagination reads things that have not been written, by me or by anyone else.

For instance, your response to my post on 16 Nov 11 - 03:30 PM bears little realtion to what I ACTUALLY said, and instead, harks back to the same old same old paranoid theme you have carried on all through this thread. You appear to think I was attacking Joe Frasier, I have no thoughts one way or the other on the man. he was just a boxer, and as such held no interest for me.
By expressing the fact I don't like boxing, I did not diss, either the fans of, or the participants in, this brutal pastime.
If you wish to repeat your response to my imagined postings please feel, free. If all you want is the last word on the subject, again; feel free. I shall say no more about it, as I'm fed up being constuctively misconstrued by someone with a pro boxing agenda, and no respect for the viewpoints of others.
Oh, and do feel free to construe this post as personal, I put it down to tit for tat myself!
