To answer your question (and I can only speak for myself and people I know) Polish is a highly respected member of our community. When I say community I dont just mean Elite, I mean all of bodybuilding and discussion boards.
hippedy while I think you can be an entertaining member of the board, and I have never really had an issue with you...Polish is a huge contributer. If he gave you negative karma, will all due respect you probably deserved it. I hold a very high regard for Polish and in my opinion he is not only an asset to Elite but to every board that he frequents.
So if this is going to turn into a flame war I will lock it down now, as Polish doesn't deserve to be disrespected. I have no probs with you HH and always thought you to be funny, but there is no reason to throw your laughs in on a serious thread my man. Just let it go. Peace
