I think a dance off will settle this once and for all.

I'm not impressed with this thread at all. Ice has taken time off and got even more entrenched with the same old way of thinking. In the past few weeks he has insulted CGM, Bilbo, Memphis and CMM when all they have really done is highlight inconsistencies and contradictions in the very words he himself wrote on this forum.
I have never had any major problems with Ice besides the odd debate on the boxing board. Ice can be an extremely likeable poster, and does have a decent knowledge of the sport having been following it closely some time now. He can be a positive influence on the boards. But to continually post without taking responsibilty for ones own words is wrong.
I was hoping Ice might come back with a sense of humour and a little humility and just concede that he has been a bit of a prat. This is a communal kind of place and people like to know where they stand with each other. A long time member shouldn't need to spin things, and to come back headstrong in the face of evidence showing you up, is not the way to earn respect.
It could have turned out a lot better than this. But that's just the way it goes I guess.

I got no beef with Ice. But Mick ain't lying. Mick has been suspicious about Ice's knowledge for a long time. This ain't something recent. We've discussed it more than once
I know Ice is well known for stating he never saw a fight. But than weeks later he says he saw it and makes a thread giving his thoughts. I don't know many times Ice has stated this. And I ain't going to bother looking it up. But there are some fights I know he's not lying on. I know cuz I supplied him the fights. A thread about that fight obviously followed. I know I gave him a copy of Jose Luis Castillo first to Cesar Soto. I think Ike Quartey-Crisanto Espana and a couple of others. The last fight I shot him was Ricardo Lopez-Rosendo Alvarez 2. And that's cuz I had got tired of reading how he never saw it. I'll back him that he saw those fights. He's on his on own on them other allegations.
Well, what can I say... ICB and I have debated before and I've already said what CMM is saying now.
First and foremost, I've learned to like ICB for his passion about the sport. I've already noticed his inconsistencies and the starting of threads after we talk about certain issues/fighter. I don't see any problem with them but I do see a problem with lying and not admitting it when found guilty.
Anyway, let's just play chess without cheating. Hehehe.
@CGM, I'm afraid I made so many errors in our game that you may not want to play with me again. LOL. That's a sign I'm not using a computer.
@ ICB, when you come back, just settle it with Mick and admit you've made a mistake by posting his private message and copying some of his ideas. Honestly, reading Mick's private message(the one you posted), I could not see where the backstabbing happened.
To bilbo, just pardon ICB for thrashing you in chess. You were playing against a computer and that should make you prouder.

1. Who the eff is ICB?
2. It's 'draughts' not 'chequers'
2. We've already done 2
3. Has anybody seen my baseball?
That is all.

Man is that it for this one??
I've been enjoying these ICB threads they're good entertainment. I think pickin a fight with Mick, who's probably one of the more popular posters on here, is probably not the best way of coming back briefly & winning people back over. If it was a case of just coming back to talk about the JMM win then that should have been done on the main board, doing it here does kinda seem like an attention-grabbing ploy.
I have to say I liked ICB whilst he was here, I felt he knew a lot (certainly more than I do) & thought he was a nice dude. But the Chess thing clearly was more suspect than simply 'I beat CGM' as loads of us have now read the Chess thread where he/you (if you're still here) say two quite different things & then quote some chess playing guy with a girl's name but claim it as you're own. Also you may have read Mick's PM to you in a different way, but to me it actually seemed to just be a more polite version of what he's said on this thread.
I'm still hoping that you do come back because you were good for discussion on the main board, & I haven't got any beef with you, but this could have all been nipped in the bud much quicker. Oh well
If ICE wanted to create a fake life.
Thats honestly a shame for him,not on him,but for him.Because he didnt get to do it. Honestly most people in the real world dont care about the things Ive achieved. They truthfully couldnt care less about boxing,or punk rock,or caving,matter of fact they think its weird that I want to achieve in those areas.
Coming on here and making up fake achievements makes it double weird.
If he really did the stuff he said he did,he's got to be real po'ed about the pitchforks the rope and the torches.
Im taking a middle of the road stance
