There appears to be lots of Bravado and insensitive types who enjoy putting people down others as they can hide behind a screen name and do it annonomously. It is great to talk horses and disagree, but then we get into WWII discusions put downs by people who have no idea of what they speak, people putting people down by being obnoxious over and over. We should ignore the childish behavior but I thought I'd take a crack at trying to get the website forum back to its intended roots and thats to discuss horse racing, wagering, ownership, training, jockey's (another brilliant discussion HEY MY GUY GOMEZ WON ANOTHER 3 Races so I'm a Genious- Your Guy JOHNN V sux...)
I know you don't have time to police this, but as you read the site we get more into Bravado speak and less and less intelligent horse speak and handicapping discussions with merit.
Perhaps you can set aside a thread for the mindless discussions and monitor the users some to get this back to a civil discusion of points / counterpoints instead of put downs and insults. Or at least lets have one dedicated thread to intelligent discussion about horse racing and handicapping, which would be more of a reflection of the type of person and human being that I know that you are rather than what is running rampant throughout the site today. It's hard to weed out the good stuff from the crap anymore.

Nc Tony,
Quite frankly I'm stunned! You mean there others besides me who find guys who take the time to compile a list of all a guys losing mounts in a week, then when asked to cite one bad ride that the jockey gave, says oh I didn't see any of those.
The irony of morons like that posing as people who know anything about the game at all is not lost on me either.
What you have a is a bunch of guys who never start threads about anything, because they don't have any original thoughts or enough knowledge of the game to say anything worthwhile. What these guys do is read threads looking for fault with something that someone says. They contribute ZERO to the place yet try to assasinate others who do. They are the very worst type of trolls on the net, the kind who attempt to masquerade as non trolls. At least the trolls who come out and admit they are trolls have the guts to do that.
There is nothing more useless than folks who never have anything relevant or educational to say, who just sit around reading threads attempting to find fault with those who do.
But you can't blame Steve NC Tony, asking him to sit around all day long and monitor every thread is not reasonable.
