Ty, does GGG have to put up with this kind of abuse?

So explain what you think is racist? Why is pointing out that smirk on his face racist?

If I post anything about Bush dancing or making funny faces is it racist?

Probably not. He could join the sort of monastery where they don't have internet access.

OK. So stipulated.

I can't think of racist reasons. So we both can't think of certain things, but there seem to be more things that you can't think of than that I can't think of, so I agree with your conclusion.

He's totally off the wagon. Maybe we could send ABBA to help him?

Think of it this way - you're not supposed to drink and drive.

Hank,

If you're going to use your drinking as an excuse for all the ill-thought out vitriol and Mel Gibsonesque denials you post here, may I make a helpful suggestion? If you check into rehab first, people will take it much more seriously.

This kind of attack on drinking is simply unacceptable. The board has long counted on alcohol-intoxication to provide after-hours liquidity in posting, pun intended. Judge Hank by the content of his posts, not the contents of his wine glass.

ummm, the on/off wagon is actually a Seinfeld reference.

Now SS, perhaps you can see what i mean. GGG has moved from a "Hank spells Poorly" post on up to a "Hank is drunk" post. Can you see how this would be beneath you? i'm just trying to keep you on a solid path as you develop here.

Yessiree, a Seinfeld reference to drinking. Funny that.

And Hank, just because it's a reference doesn't make it funny.

Sorry, that was the booze talking, not me. Couldn't you smell it?
