My bad—I accidentally hit the wrong button and banned you for being abusive toward other users. I went back and cleared it up with the admins, so that strike is gone. It won't show up in your history or mess with your stats. Honestly, just take my apology on that one. Also, just to be clear, the warning wasn't even about your post mentioning Magnus Carlsen and Bobby Fischer; it was actually regarding that thread about Mike Tyson.
I tried to shoot you a DM, but it wouldn't go through because you're hit with a Twitter Ban. And guess what? You’re stuck with it for 7 days for this reason:
Look, I’ve been trying to be nice about this for weeks now. I’ve been patient, I’ve been chill, and I’ve been pointing out exactly what you need to stop doing. If you still don't get it, then honestly? It's on you. Don't go blaming the two moderators—and yeah, let's be real, the third one barely even shows up anyway—or the growing crowd of users on Reddit reporting your posts. And newsflash: the world doesn't revolve around you. Stop acting like you're some kind of VIP. This desperate need for attention? That's pretty much the root of your entire problem.
Look, we aren't even debating tastes or boxing knowledge here—that’s just amateur hour for people who only watch the highlights. This isn't some high-level panel discussion featuring Olympic medalists and world-class trainers, so feel free to have an opinion. Everyone's entitled to one. But that brings us to your actual problem: you won't stop shoving your takes down our throats. You constantly derail the conversation. Like, seriously? Mike Tyson has absolutely nothing to do with Mike Tyson or Deontay Wilder, yet you just keep looping the same tired nonsense. What you think is "funny" is actually just annoying to everyone else. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you aren't helping yourself or the thread. Honestly, you just end up looking like a clown most of the time. And don't try to blame it on the last year or the pandemic being a mood booster; this behavior has been going on way longer than that.
If we’re being real here, you gotta admit I’ve been sliding into your DMs telling you to chill out. I gave you warnings and yellow cards instead of just hitting you with the red card and a permanent Twitter Ban, but since you decided to ignore every single one of them, things have piled up. It's just too much crap at this point. A ban is the only way to go.
Let’s get the ground rules straight here: trolling, derailment, and stirring up unnecessary drama are exactly why you got hit with a Twitter Ban. You didn't actually insult anyone, and look, I'm not about to let anyone come at you either. Any jabs about your weight or whatever—that kind of stuff gets shut down and deleted by me immediately. Period.
Look, I’m not your enemy here, and I definitely don't want to see you get kicked off Reddit. Honestly, your posts are usually a breath of fresh air when everything else feels so damn bleak—you always drop some interesting facts that actually keep things interesting. But seriously, you gotta learn the line between cracking jokes and straight-up harassment. Take a breather, think about what I'm saying (I'm coming from a good place, really), and maybe try a different vibe once your Twitter Ban is over.
Good luck!

First off, thanks for being honest and admitting you hit the wrong button. I respect that. Seriously, I do. You aren't even my issue—we’ve bumped heads before, but that’s just how it goes. It's totally normal. My real problem is these "report" snitches who act like they own my posts. Why don't they spend less time policing everyone else and actually write their own damn content? I have never, and I mean NEVER, reported or sued anyone on here. I'm the kind of guy who'd rather head down to Walmart, grab some rope, and end it all than act like a narc. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, so let people write! Who am I to stop them? Anyway, heard some depressing news today. The legendary Leon Spinks passed away. I wrote about him ages ago in that thread about Muhammad Ali. Apparently, he almost died because doctors had to pull a chicken bone out of his windpipe—he couldn't get enough of those wings. Man, the night before his heavyweight title fight against Larry Holmes, his trainer walks in to find him and two buddies passed out drunk, with the whole room trashed with fast food, empty bottles, and drugs everywhere. Classic Leon. But hey, before all that chaos, he actually beat Muhammad Ali after only six pro fights. RIP.
Look, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, push my views, or offend anyone. You can't force someone to believe Deontay Wilder is going to KO Mike Tyson if they just don't feel it. And as for the arguing? That’s what Reddit is for. That’s why we’re even here. Thanks for the lecture, though—honestly, I'm surprised you actually bothered to reply to me. Much appreciated. Honestly, I don't really feel "guilty" or anything; if anything, I'm just feeling pretty low and drained. I don't even have the energy to post anymore, especially after being away for so long. Even my birthday is passing by in total silence. I'd talk politics or whatever, but who cares? I used to be obsessed with the Moon landing stuff, but now? Not even a little bit. Just boxing... but man, I'm getting sliced up like bamboo. Besides, I haven't earned any respect anyway; the second you speak up, people just call you an idiot. That's how it feels. But I haven't hurt anyone, so my conscience is clear.
Shoutout to
brisktrucker51 and his crew. Also, shoutout to Luyinduli because he was always chill with me. What else is there to say? Life is just the gap between being born and waiting to die. Good luck to everyone, because if you don't have luck, you've got nothing. Peace.
