January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

Anyway, I won't be able to play with you much longer because I have lots of work
to do before Christmas. But that shouldn't affect you as I'm sure practice has
taught you lots of ways to play with yourself ever since those kindergarten days
when all the other kids were forbidden from playing with you and your voodoo
doll of Ali the despised brainless moron. Just don't become neurotic about
playing with yourself, as you have about Muhammad. Koo Koo - good to hear from
you. Cheers. ((((((: |

serious note. In my posts on Frazier I have always confined myself to comments
about his boxing ability and I deliberately never criticised him as a person (I
never wanted to anyway - I consider him a fine human being). I did so hoping
that you might respond in kind towards Ali who, as you obviously know, has a
medical condition that in the tiny minds of some exposes him to ridicule. I was
therefore shocked that, in your latest post, you called him a phoney and sneered
at the fact that his speech became so affected by his medical condition that in
an interview on television they needed cards to inform the viewers what he was
saying. That was an insensitive comment to make, especially on a web site
founded in the memory of another great fighter afflicted with a condition
similar to Ali's. I dare say that in the advanced stages of that illness, too,
his speech would have been difficult to understand and I at least have some
inkling as to the difficulties his family endured dealing with that shocking
reality. I have a child nephew who got brain damage from a botched medical
procedure. His speech is effected, just like Ali's. Medical impairments like
that are nothing to be sneered at, especially by an intelligent person with all
of her faculties. If you can't keep your comments about Ali within the bounds of
common decency, then let's take Koo Koo's suggestion and move onto something
else. Ali's medical condition shouldn't impinge on the perception of his ability
as a fighter. In some posts about you I said some things that were deliberately
insulting. If that provoked you into responding by ridiculing someone with a
disability, then I went too far and I apologise to you. But please don't
ridicule medical impairments again, even if it does involve a fighter you
obviously dislike. Thanks.|

originally thought you were just a wimpy flamer, but you truly embody a great
deal of unresolved hate which you project into others, attacking it there where
it's safe to do so. Combine that with a childish and blind idolatry for Muhammad
Ali, and...well, the result is obvious. And, of course, there's our history in
other places, I imagine, where no doubt you didn't fare too well in
"discussion." I haven't been sucked into replying to someone like you in quite a
while, but I too am very busy with Christmas preparations. I'll only reply to
two items of your general foolishness, before jettisoning you into Internet
space:- As far as I know, Jerry Quarry did ~not~ have Parkinson's
disease, though the cause of the problems of both had the same root. I said that
I thought it was very sad that they had to close caption Ali's words when he
talked. And you suggested I was making fun of him? Once more, you reflect your
own misery and unhappiness. - While I've observed some flaws of Ali's
myself, everyone knows they're there, and some of my material was via Eddie
Futch ("substandard jab," and the strategy of bobbing to set up the left hook
were both discussed). Just type his name into Google. You can reply if you wish,
but it'll be for naught. |

Kent:***- one rather side note on that was one time when he was on, they
had to close caption what he was saying on the screen.***This contains a
typo. The word, "side" should have been "sad," though this should be self
explanatory in context. I've said this same thing twice before.|
