Honestly, I posted about a racetrack friend of mine who passed away and some nitwit chose to turn the thread into something else entirely. His thoughts didn't diminish my sorrow. You post on the internet and you get what you get.

actually I thought later about your thread, and was going to use that as an example. It was obviously someone you knew and had some feeling for.
I saw your thread early on and didn't see where anyone had messed it up but I do believe it is somewhat the same as this instance. Not everyone knew about that guy so I'm sure it had different meaning to different people. those that knew him where probably touched and compelled to say something. Those that didn't know him it was more like information and its hard to feel one way or another. But it is certainly not okay for some jagoff to ruin the thread by posting some crap or to question YOUR sincerity. If someone did that to your thread then it was indeed wrong. It is the internet and you can't control what people say, but that doesn't make it right.
Most things posted are fair game for dispute, but a simple thread that someone makes telling why they liked a particular horse and felt it was good for the sport hardly seems like the type of subject that should bring people out of the woodwork to disagree.
it is simply not true that a thread like this is repetitive. it is very rare actually. the person who started the thread maintains a couple of threads that are a service for people to know when horses are lost or unaccounted for. they are repetitive by nature since this is an on going event. anyone who has spent time on here knows the names of those threads and can simply ignore them.
