Not an unexpected attitude from a guy with over 4,000 posts in less than a year.

Remind me how I am not accountable and you are? I missed that part.

That's funny you would insult a horse racing fan considering you're an aspiring journalist and people like me are your target audience.

Insulting me for post count is also insulting GPK, Cajungator, Scav, Danzig, blackthroatedwind, DaHoss9698, hooves, Downthestretch, etc.

Keep digging your hole.

Except they don't break my balls because I won't take their action on Street Sense. And they didn't insult me for being a blogger.

Nice try though.

You're getting heat because it's a negative opinion, just like your idiotic opinion of post count = negative attitude.

It's all starting to make sense now. Your lack of following up on sources is due, in part, to your low opinion of horse racing and its fans. Why do your job when the public isn't as smart as you?

You do have one point. I made the assumption that most people on boards like this get to high counts by constantly "trolling" or simply breaking balls. That was probably an illogical assumption for me to make, and it was wrong of me to lump all frequent posters at DerbyTrail into the same group. Although in my experience, that is the case with most boards.

I think you have the wrong idea of my "job" and my job history. My "lack of following up on sources"? Are you referring to the Hard Spun thing? See my first-ever post here for that explanation.

I also disagree with your characterization of my attitudes as "negative", although I will admit that I don't feel great about where this sport is headed. What can I say? Years of following this sport have led me to believe that Street Sense probably won't race again. I also think that some of those people/institutions who are supposed to be looking out for the sport are making short-sighted decisions and refuse to make the tough decisions that may be required to keep racing afloat.

And I have no idea why you say I have a low opinion of racing fans.

But you know what Danzig, I don't recall seeing you break balls for fun. Although I haven't been here that long.
