Vaya con dios, NYRA ...

Thank GOD I'm actually not a know-it-all, and that words from a message board will not keep me from reaching my full academic potential. Nor will those words keep me from owning race horses and hunters. :D

you go girl!

I don't know, but if I were her I would steer clear of hunters.

I own one. My horse Chucker. Why should I steer clear of him?

I'm assuming he meant hunters as in the kind who hunt and kill.

OMFG ....

Right, but the assumption that I was talking about owning hunters (people) didn't make any sense so I played dumb. In other words, I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he knew that I was talking about hunter horses, not people. Although, you are most likely correct in your assumption that he was talking about people in his response to my post, and has no clue about hunters (horses).

I'm fairly certain that he knew what you were referring to.

HUH?!?!

Well, it still didn't make much sense to say that. I mean, I don't care if he disses me for liking a horse, or says I'm too stupid to become a doctor. At least I can understand the reasoning behind those remarks from someone who isn't a doctor or doesn't know me in real life. I don't see the logical connections behind the steer clear of hunters statements, except for maybe that he wants me to be shot or that I will be shot, and that would just be cruel. Wouldn't really put it past a few on here though.

Try not to take all of this stuff so seriously... I highly doubt anyone on here wants you (or anyone else) to be shot. 3/4 of the people on here probably wouldn't know what to do with a shotgun anyway.

(GPK excluded. :eek: )

:rolleyes:

Kev,....have you been gettin lucky when going to all them shotgun weddings down there in the hollows 'round Roanoke

Shirely not...:o

I really don't take the stuff seriously. I'm often smiling or LMAO when I post on the board. Some of this stuff is funny. If I did take it too seriously, I would have ran off like PG1985 and would not be posting here because of the hateful remarks. I am not a professional in the horse racing industry, so it doesn't matter what people think about me. I will only be an owner one day. So, I don't care what others say or think about me in that respect because it can't hurt my business. However, I think that professionals in the horse racing industry should conduct themselves in an appropriate manner on a horse racing message board especially when everyone knows the person's name. I actually think it is funny when they don't. Their conduct can't hurt me. However, the lack of professionalism and diplomacy can hurt them. I'm sure some still don't care.

And it's easy for you to say that because you aren't the one who recieves idiotic, outdated, snide remarks every time you post. Ignoring it and playing dumb is the best way to deal with it, so that is what I do unless someone says something really out of line. Then, I play with them, and that is viewed by people who don't know me as taking everything too seriously because hardly anyone knows me from this board in real life. In reality, it's really just me having a bit of fun and doing to others what they do to me alot of times.

It's easy for a group of people to gang up on one person. I am that guinea pig, and I don't care that I am. I choose to stay here and be that guinea pig. If I really cared, then I would leave.

No offense, Jessica... but believe me, if I posted some of the stuff that you have posted on here, I would most CERTAINLY get ridiculed. I'm not ganging up on you or anyone else... because as you said, I don't know you. You come across very serious in your posts and you can't expect people who don't know you to read your posts any other way. Just a piece of advice... you can take it or leave it.

Well, that is why I am saying it now. Don't think that I am being serious. You're taking me way too seriously now. I didn't say that you or anyone else in particular were ganging up on me. I don't really care if I am ganged up on. It doesn't make me look bad so I don't care. All I'm saying is that if people go back and read the posts I have replied in (that does not mean I actually want anyone to do it), you would see the same ones over and over making remarks towards me that really don't serve any purpose and can easily be viewed as rude and idiotic outside of this group of people. It doesn't hurt me.

And just because I have a difference in opinion (key word here is opinion) doesn't make me wrong. Facts may make me wrong, but opinions don't. I don't think LITF was overrated. It is an opinion because he was brillant winning 10 straight while he was alive and we don't really know what he would have done if he would have stayed healthy. BTW's opinion is different. Neither one of us can be proved wrong because he isn't alive and racing. His career was cut short and he died. We don't know for how long that he raced in his three year old year while being affected by the cancer. Also, I cannot be wrong yet about R2R being better than WC because R2R isn't done racing yet, and it is an opinion at this point.

I just normally say what I think when it comes to the horses, don't like to go with the crowd, and don't really care about the consequences of being different from everyone else even on a board like this where difference in opinion is shunned. I don't really care if I am wrong either. It is horse racing, and most are wrong more than they are right. And just for the record, I have been wrong about a lot of things. I have also been dead on about a whole lot of things, but a lot of people tend to forget when other people are right so it doesn't matter.

You also didn't have to repeat what I already stated in my thread of taking or leaving it. I said that I don't leave because I don't care that I am the poster that everyone picks on. It is just the nature of humans to be that way. I understand.

Welll not everyone picks on ya.....I think that Morty sent ya some tunes....and here is one for ya from me....appropriately called "Rosie"
