Golden Gloves site no home for haters

Some very disparaging remarks have recently been made on the website. I repeat:  this website is there for boxing enthusiasts and for meaningful dialogue.

While opinions that differ from ours are welcome, I will not tolerate that kind of thing. I would rather that this calibre of person does not participate on this website. If these libellous and spiteful comments re-occur, admittedly by a minority, we will have no alternative but to close down the comments section altogether.

To the rest, thanks for keeping it clean and honest.

    Mr Berman, this is the most embracing boxing sites I have participated on continuous basis. People need to review their comments prior submitting. GGP is the best in Africa, to shut down comments will be a huge blow to us. I noted your prompt replies on debates on this site, few grown up n prosperous people can do that.

The purpose of the Golden Gloves website is to offer boxing fans the opportunity to engage, argue, enthuse and air their views. Strong opinions are encouraged (and fair criticism taken on the chin), but this website will not be a haven for racism, invective, personal attacks or intolerance. Comments will be moderated and those in breach will be removed. We look forward to hearing your views.
