I guess in this politically correct, ultra-sensitive world I should have known to replace "just shooting their mouths off" (even if it was written in the most light-hearted way imaginable) to "lesser handicappers." I forgot how sensitive you were.

I know one guy who won't forget how sensitive you are, though. How about that poor bastard you ripped the other day who made mention that he didn't think some horse could improve on his figs and he thought the track was running a certain way? I think he wrote for Kentucky Derbysomething dot com....you called him a hack journalist....abused his handicapping and lack of knowlege of the game... Was that guy somehow excluded from your circle of players just getting together to exchange information and have fun?

Ateam, I read your posts and respect your opinion. You seem to have a handle on everything you talk about. I'll freely admit without blinking an eye that you are most definitely the better handicapper between us. I also think you're bi-polar and a bit of a spazz, but maybe that's what I love about you the most! You're edgy...

I didn't say anything about his lack of knowledge or handicapping ability. I said he's lazy and irresponsible with a lot of things he says.

It's pretty clear you didn't read the discussion we had, so calling me "sensitive" based on that is silly.

And your post came off (at least to me) as though you took this room way too seriously and saw it as some type of proving ground for professionals. I was just trying to convey to you that it's not that serious. Nobody needs "credentials" to post here and except for a select few on this site, the idea of handicapping credentials is laughable. There's also no need to keep statistics or anything like that.

Like I said, feel free to post your own picks and join in the discussion.
