Joel
 

Joel I don't know what was said after I logged off but those threads are gone so obviously it turned ugly. I'm a typical NY ball buster. I remembered every word you said about FC and I called you on it. I certainly didnt mean for it to turn that ugly. You have passion and zeal for the game, which places you far above most people I know in my opinion. I got on you over a bad call, certainly didnt mean for it to turn ugly and Im sure when I screw up you will return the favor. Peace.

I think they took the threads down and sold them to be made into a daytime soap opera. :eek:

LOL!!! Exceller I wish I could see them. I logged off and have no idea what was said after I left,

LOL Exceller!
I know this wasn't addressed to me, so not for me to comment, other than the FC thread was an interesting read.
Good for you, Mike, for saying so...

Horse racing brings out the deepest passions.
Well almost, a pretty lady, bottle of wine....
Peace all.

Those threads were actually good reads but Oracle got a little too NY on the guy. I wouldn't have bashed him so much, but he did stick his neck out there by attacking Funny Cide. Funny Cide has a vicious fan base and I love watching people go after the FC haters. FC is a tough horse and other than the top handicap horses he can beat anyone.

I love the Peace all. Nobody really thought you disliked groups of people, I think people were just busting your balls.

Exceller,
Who the heck are you kidding?
"A little too NY"???

There can never be enough NY!!

I must say, I don't like the fact that threads are just "removed" because of a little lively discussion. If it becomes offensive or obscene, that's one thing. I know this isn't exactly a "public" forum, but come on, where's the first amendment right to free speech? If I want to call Kasept a "poopy head," or Oracle a "doofus", is that going to to get removed too?? :rolleyes:

Oracle acts like he has a new woman.

Then you shouldn't post here if you don't agree with decisions by your host. You certainly have that right.

here we go....

That is the response I expected from a NYer.

What is Randwyck anyway? There is Randwick in Australia. Is that what Oracle's track name comes from?

Guys what I say here is never personal. I have to admit that Joel telling that story about Todd got my goat, but since then I got a little more info and perhaps Joel will fill us in on what he LEFT OUT about that incident.
Anyone who is passioante about this game is a friend of mine, and thats Joel.
But when he talked smack about Funny Cide(if Joel knew my history he would know that I took serious artillery when I said that Empire Mker was twice the horse he was and would mulch him in the Belmont, I was friggin Darth vader at the time) he would know that I have never been his biggest fan. But when a horse wins like that you have to tip your hat to his gameness and his fans who help make this game go round.
heck Exceller, I have wished you luck with your horses despite our skirmishes and when your horses win I will be the first one on here to congratulate you, and I mean that. Its a tough game, believe me.
Nothing is gonna ruin my mood this weekend and i wish Joel and everyone else an incredibly happy 4th. I just bought what I think will be a very nice horse for a client, its warm and sunny here, and I have been talking to a very nice "mare". I'm happy as a clam, and wish everyone a wonderfully happy and safe holiday weekend.

I can voice my opinion too.. can't I?

Scuds is a very bright guy.

And you did.

And I responded.

And you weren't satisfied....so you had another comment.

I can only repeat my initial sentiments...so far.

yes, and I am responding back to you again.. I'm glad you've figured out how this message board thing works... good for you.

OK, let me make it clearer for you.

This BS of griping in chat rooms because someone doesn't like the host's decisions is as boorish as it is prevalent. You are a guest of Steve's here. He makes the rules and the decisions. Since you have graciously been allowed into his house, so to speak, while you are entitled to your opinions, it would certainly be nice, as a guest, if you kept them to horse racing ( at least in the racing rooms ). Otherwise, believe it or not, you appear ungrateful.

OK. I agree with that. I guess I've been used to the freedom of a fully "public board." I do prefer to keep the discussions about horse racing as well.. I admit I didn't actually get to read what led to the removal of the other thread.. I can only assume it was justified. That's the end of the "non-horse" discussion from my end. :o

You didn't miss much.

I'm sure a similar thread will pop up again....probably too soon.

Thanks.
