I wasn't aware of their use of african-american racial slurs...that sucks. I hope it was in jest and not mean spirited, but either way I hear ya. Personally, I like to hang out in the Clean Thread and shoot the shyte with the fellas, etc...but I also like to hit the other areas of the forum to both ask questions and answer them, learn/teach/lead/etc so I don't think I'm "dragging the water" (?) so to speak.
Anyhoo, Roxy is doing very well. Dealing with some seasonal allergy issues, but the bladder infection issue is all overwith. Thanks for asking.
For what it's worth, I do hope their bans are temporary. For all the off-topic BS'ing those guys do, they're both good guys and knowledgable when it comes to lifting, etc. Just my opinion, but I hope you consider it.
