Do we have to be on "automatic" vitriol? That's been the norm. Can't we wait until plasma levels come back at least before crucifying the guy? See if levels support raceday administration that absolutely justifies crucifying?

Big difference between Pletcher's "whiff" mepivicaine positive and the high levels of multiple Assmussen offenses. They are not the same. They both do not deserve the same spewing and vitriol.

That's where the difference lays for me. Not in the name or previous rep as you assume.
