Most of the frogs in my neighborhood don't know enough to get out of my swimming pool in the spring.....
thus when I add chorine, well.....and that's the rest..... of the story.....
good day.

You're not on the high ground just because you do. However, I am glad that you support these equine related charities. Maybe you're not as cold as I once thought.

Is it wrong that some of us choose to remember, is it wrong that some people (yourself included) prefer not to, well, not in this way?

What I do find irritating and rather childish is the lack of respect and the sarcasm that appear in these threads. Always from the same one or two, I must add.

You call this sh!t, that maybe your opinion and you're entitled to it. Just like I am entitled to say I find your posts dull, I find your posts dull.... sorry, I'm repeating myself. I've learnt that trick from you, ya see.

Why can't you lay off, just once. Just for christmas? That would be the polite thing to do instead of going around slagging people off because they don't know quite as much as your oh so high and mighty self.

.....and before I get messages shoved down my throat saying "do you know who he is"....... no, I don't, why should I care.

Thank you for your time.



You are beyond pathetic.


In all seriousness a thread about horses who passed away is fine. For those who want to read about em ....great. I believe thats what that flying with angels thread is all for. All the PETA fans and tree huggers can go over there and talk about how these horses (who they have no real connection to) changed their life. But to constantly clog up the main area with threads about horses who passed is a bit much.

You want to rip on guys like BTW who have probably forgotten more than you will ever know about the game then so be it.....thats your right....just like it's my right to crack sarcastic jokes on threads which I feel are a bit overdone.

Oh..come on and let it go. Will you please. Do you know how many times I've come across a stupid and I mean a really stupid thread? When that happens I just move along and go someplace else. Maybe that's what you and others who find this thread a waste of space should have done instead of trying to infect it with your childish banter. I don't donate to horse rescue centers nor do I plan to, I clicked on the thread and noticed some horses I remembered. I thought it was well done. This is a forum that's what we do. Some people post on here just to be obstinate, obnoxious, and self-loathing.

There's a lot of "ridiculous" threads here, I take them with a grain of salt.....much like the people that post them.
And I don't care who they are.

And he's the King of a Monarchy?

President of a country?

How's his opinion on this any more important than the author of the thread? Listen, I'm not too into eulogizing dead horses, but I took it has an end of the year wrap up of fallen horses. Go through 25 of the most recent threads and tell me how many of them are real germane to horse racing.

Never said I was better.....just don't understand what all the fuss was with the thread.
The comics and sarcastic comments can be better served elsewhere here.

Nope. Just can't handle the facts now can we? I've been reading through all of your old posts. I kind of get the picture now.

I just hope every single person who has applauded this thread has also donated to horse rescue organizations. My guess is some haven't. I do, however, know that at least one person who finds this thread insultingly ridiculous has done what he could for this situation.

We get it, MissStormCat cares about every race horse that dies annually, even though my guess is she knows little to nothing about many of them, or even necessarily how or why they perished. That's great....that's her thing on this and other websites. However, how many times do we need to be reminded of this? Some of us think it is less often than we actually are....some don't. Once again that's what makes the world go round. But that doesn't mean dissenters have to keep their mouths shut......haven't we honestly heard enough of this sh it from the person who has destroyed this once great country of ours?

Well if this is how message boards work, and some people get on soapboxes to call out others, let me step up and say that this is post is crap. You claim to know peoples intentions, whether or not they are being disingenuous, or whether or not they know anything about the horses, and that people who post on this thread better also donate to horse charities. WHY? who made you so all knowing and all important? I thought the thread was just to relect for a moment on the memories good or bad about the horses that left us this year. For some reason you seem to imply there is some ulterior motive.

Dissenters, or dissenter? Its you and one other completely obnoxious poster.
What is the dissenting point of view to reflection on a list of horses who have gone down in action this year? Should we just forget them like yesterdays garbage? Why are you compelled every time to voice dissenting opinions on such a non-threatening, harmless, and respectful thread? You even managed to tie in politics in a clumsy way, as if this is a free speech issue.

Yes I know, the dissention is ostensibly based on the clutter that threads like this make. Thats also BS because the biggest example of board clutter is the 25 threads per week regarding the NYRA dilemma. I'm sure there are others like myself who couldn't care less, and without getting on a soapbox simply ignore the threads, rather than cluttering those threads with pointless dissention and complaints about clutter.

So as a dissenter you are making a free speech case, but the basis of your dissent seems to be "how many times do we need to be reminded of this?", which sounds like you want to limit the free speech of others. Sounds hypocritical to me.
