Why was the "Andy versus Scuds" thread closed?

I realize that some of the idiots (all on my IGGY LIST) got in there and just had to offer their $.02 worth but did we really need to close the thread? Maybe we should start censoring at the general level (in addition to the individual) rather than shutting the door on something interesting.

Especially in a forum where TROUBLED TRIPS are the trip handicapping of choice for the novices. For example, and not to single him out, CSC has yet to point to a trip horse that didn't have trouble (and in most cases, a perfect trip otherwise).

Let those with a little bit of knowledge discuss the topic. Perhaps there are some others who might actually learn something.

What a ****in joke!!! Is this a forum about HANDICAPPING or just devoted to jockey and/or horse adoration?

It's a forum for bit.ching, thumping chest, delusions of grandeur, and adoration of Lance Armstrong's cancerous testicle.
