Steve, these blogs are not for anyone with thin skin. If you really look at responses given not just to this guy but to many others, there is a trend. Even though the greatness of this sport is that you can never, ever know for sure how a race will play, people not only work from a philosophy of certainty but criticize others who may disagree with a specific view that disagrees with theirs. I enjoy reading the views of others and learning from that. But to suggest that no one means harm when words like "retard" and worse get thrown around here regularly is a bit silly. Now I will return to my reading position. I have a thin skin. But I just wanted to offer some support to this guy who I am rather jealous of in terms of the funds he has to use. I too hope he gets well.
