Just in case some of may not have noticed, my participation both in posting and moderating has been somewhat limited, and for that I apologize, specifically for the moderating part! I've been up to my ass putting the finishing touches on my next design contract which appears to be either at Bombardier in Montreal, or possibly a return to Diamond Aircraft in London. As such, I've been somewhat delinquent in my moderating of "The Cage" and for that I apologize. As a result, one of "The Cages" participants (rippedskates) has had his access blocked, due primarily to the fact the he had made disparaging remarks and false claims against two organizations, Ajax Attack and the Whitby Fury, to which I would like to personally apologize to both of these organizations! I "WILL" commit to reviewing the threads in question over the next couple of days (when I have a moment or two) and edit/delete the offending submissions. While it is imperative that we allow our forum participants the opportunity to express themselves freely, it is as equally important that we "NOT" jeopaedize the future of this forum! We have established a fairly widespread participant base throughout this province/country and we certainly don't want to retreat to our limited coverage of a few years ago! Again I apologize to both Ajax/Whitby and encourage our fellow forum goers to express their opinion while respecting the viewpoints of participants here "In The Cage"! I trust that everyone understands the very basic ground rules? If not please e-mail me at either tigerpaws92@live.com or thayward13@cogeco.ca .

I appreciate your efforts, Tony. I would like to publicly apologize to everybody for my role in all of this. I have been as guilty as anybody of allowing myself to get out of hand.

I would also call on those with whom I have been going back and forth to offer up an apology of their own for their part in this, and call somewhat of a truce to this.

My feeling is this...

These forums are about hockey!!! Let's talk some!!! I know the summer months are slow, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy these forums with all of us showing the proper amount of respect and courtesy towards each other. That's really what the basic ground rules should be, I think, both on these forums and in life in general.

Wow, it must be windy out there, the old "Weathervane" is really spinning today!!

GIVE IT A REST. THIS IS A HOCKEY FORUM AND IF THEY CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT PISS OFF THEN.

Uh ohhh. Someone got back from their beach holiday with some sand in their crack.

Tell us how you really feel CC. You are absolutely the most genuine person that logs in on here and I luv ya!!!
