Look, man, I know you're the butthurt moderator who's been wastelanding my threads calling Max out on his bullshit for no good reason. As I pointed out in my thread you wastelanded, Max produced a laundry list of excuses until he settled on the ankle injury.
When someone comes up with multiple explanations for one event (in the case, backtracking after calling someone out for a specific date), I'll usually believe in the first explanation provided, which, in the case, was that he wanted to spend time with his family and enjoy the holidays. So, yeah, I saw the picture, but I don't really believe he's hurt. The picture could be old. The picture could be from someone else. There's no way to assess, in any case, the gravity of the injury from that picture and the time frame to recover.
