Thats your call but I'd rather use an extra smilie here and there to make sure the intent of my post was understood than have to spend 5 posts picking the bones out of an unintentional misunderstanding.
From my perspective i only see banter with the noobs from the old and more respected posters. Some noobs know the deal, some get pissed off and take it as a dig and then start a feud over it. I must admit some these new posters since i came on here have got worse and worse, Most threads are made to provoke reaction and not debate. There's some good new guys but some take the **** and it get's boring in the end. I don't see any real problem, some people take there boxing more seriously then others that's all really. There is a major group of posters but i've never found the main group a problem.
I could put forward a strong case for Claypole and FLINT ISLAND being the same person. Claypole always plays down the attention he receives from FLINT ISLAND and says 'I just try to keep a low profile round here':think
I don't think so. FLINT ISLAND is far too eccentric to play a steady eddie like Claypole. FLINT ISLAND would blow his cover sooner or later with an outburst over Maccarinelli or the shed.
Flint can't hide is posting style for any length of time. I sent "Forgive Me" a PM saying "Hi Flint" after the first thread we were involved in.
Notice how he avoided the question in this thread http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149774
Why do you think that? I give the lad more credit than that - he's got a good head on his shoulders I had my run ins with FLINT ISLAND - but fair play he's a tremendous poster............ He likes Enzo Maccarinelli - the shed - he has a business friend with 2 privates jets and a yacht............ And a strange obsession with.............Claypole..............
CHJ has a theory that you are FLINT ISLAND. This post has me thinking otherwise. You can't pull off his style. These are the best examples of a prime FLINT ISLAND: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149462 http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149774
See, I don't think so. Prime FLINT ISLAND is full of ............, -, and smilies. His favorites were , :huh, :think and the occasional :hi: if I remember correctly. He also did epic posts with paragraphs consisting of one sentence only.
