    I was due back on the 5th - but I sent the MODS a heart felt PM tonight which allowed me back on

    Thanks MODS :good

    As for the incident of my banning - without saying names - or making accusations of who grassed me or complianed

    Lets just say - some people around here are more sensitive than I thought

    I thought they had a thick enough skin to take a joke

    But someone cried about it ....................

    Its OK to be sensitive mind - I'm not having a go at sensitivity

    In this modern day age - its acceptable for the modern man to have femine / gay aspects about him like sensitivity........................

    How about Evander Holyfield?
    His resumé includes names such as Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, Foreman, Holmes, Quawi and Toney.

    And he also fought tons of guys that ain't exactly ATGs but still quality such as Moorer, Mercer, DeLeon, P. Thomas, Dokes, Douglas, Byrd, Rahman, Ruiz, Ibragimov, Stewart, (and dare I say) Valuev...
