An observation
 

This is unusual as I've not seen a website like this one, certainly not a horseracing site, where threads . . . any thread, any subject matter posted, can go south, can go down the toilet so quickly, by posters whose interruptions contribute nothing to the topic; but instead, provide one liners of sexual innuendo that is absolutely worthless as hell, except to those in need of getting a room, or a partner.

Am I new here? Yes, pretty much. Am I being bold to state this? Probably. Freedom of speech and all that, sure. But damn hijacking threads posted at a website so that one has to drudge through 5 pages of crap to come back to the topic at hand.

Esoteric central is a fine place, but does one feel they will not garner enough attention in that folder?

Y'all carry on. I'll keep tryin' to drudge thru.

fair enough observation...but it too belongs in eso.

Thank you Paisjpq.

*GPK stares at Cajungator*

8 minutes from now and it will be 24 hours since my last sexual innuendo and attempted thread hijacking.

I think I deserve a round of applause for the effort.:D

*Stands up and applauds loudly.*

Grits,
You won't find a better group of people than the ones here. Fun and informative. Players tend to be pretty liberal with their comments as gamblers often do....I'll paste the thread about things most board members have in common so you can see the type of people you will find here...You will enjoy your time here.....http://derbytrail.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=common

We are just one big happy family, right Rand?

So many strong bonds have been formed from here (and the old ESPN board). I guess maybe sometimes we should be more "sensitive" to new posters. Just like it when newbies earn a little respect before calling others out.

Oh no, we aren't a happy family. Dysfunctional at best. But it doesnt mean the people aren't 90% good at heart. Therefore its a good group.

Sorry we're not living up to your high standards, Tits...err Grits.

Let's not scare her away Pillow :D :D

well dammit...I consider alot of people on here like family...you included.:D

Right, there are some. But I'm only close to a few on here in actuality and see them 3 times a year or so....Its kind of a neat online relationship if you think about it....I don't talk to my best friends everyday, but I talk to this haphazard group 10 times a day. So we are connected. Even to Andy.

No picture, PP? I'm highly disappointed.

Blame Kev. He is like the Taliban on here when hijacking.

I'm trying to be a better poster for Grits, Cajun. She brings alot to the table and I don't want to lose her.

Hoss...if i'm not mistaken the thread she's complaining about is the "buy a horse at auction..monkeys fly out of your ass" thread. Totally ridiculous thread considering a handful, at most, on this board will and/or could be in that situation one day.

It's ok to dream but that doesn't make for a great thread IMHO.

J....not wrong at all to say that bro. You feel how you feel.

I freely admit I am more guilty than anyone else...old habits die hard I guess. FOR YOU...I will make an effort to tone it down.

shot down again.....


im trying hard to remain Switzerland, Rand. Just one day.....one time....I wanna be North Korea dammit:(

I know, I know. The only Swiss guy I want to be is Federer....But you and Kim Jong of NK do share a striking resemblance....Night guys.

Reary?

I aint that damn short:p

Looks like the guy that used to come to my golf course.

"Ahh...you have Carraway Big Bersha...numba Shree wood?"

I believe that was the thread being referred to as well... and sad as it is, that thread was fairly tame compared to most that have been "hijacked."

I will attempt to tone down my joking posts as well.

she will come around to our sense of humor...


but I agree that you do need to stop hijacking threads Jamie....:eek: :eek: :p

I've been relatively quiet on here lately...

You were solely accountable for last night's hijacking, Kev. :p

as you know...nights like tonight...I am on here late. Im not as knowledgable (horse wise) as others on this board, but I still like to take part in discussions.

I was just joking about changing for you...just being non-confrontational:D

lmfaooooooooooooo

HAHA!! Hey M_I how's the racing down under been treating ya?

bad week last week but will be all good on sat great racin comming up:D

That'll be friday night for me. I'll check it out.

Hilarious... :D

I only stated this because, as DaHoss and a member that messaged me, agreed, it does make reading a thread difficult. And the concern is a legitimate one, whether one is a new member or a longtime family member. That's not important. Connecting with others is.

And honestly, the sexual posturing, maybe take some of it the private message route, because, it's not something most are interested in, if they're not the ones involved.

I guess I'm saying voyeurism just ain't my deal. Doesn't do a thing for me. LOLOL

"Being from the south and all it's hard enough to read a paragraph, much less 50 posts in a row with sexual innuendo. Omg slow down guys LOL. *bats lashes*"

You can't be for real.

Scratch that DaHoss has changed his mind. Whatever. I gave it a shot.

nice...so the new girl wants to be a moderator too.....lovely. Its not something "most" are interested in? Great...you think for others now too.

Listen hun....I have "connected" with more people on this board than you could ever imagine.

There is an owner and 2 other moderators on this board. If they see fit that someone is posting in a manner unbecoming, they will kindly let that person know and they have the power to delete such posts. I don't think that it is your decision to determine what topics need to be discussed via Private Messaging.
