It's never too late for some soul-searching. Best of luck.

While realizing that your opinion and those that share your opinion are the only opinions that count.... I can only hope that you will forgive me for having a differing opinion...

[blackthroatedwind]

One thing you are omitting, Dave, is that DaHoss's " competition " hardly acted in a sportsmanlike manner throughout the contest while DaHoss held his tongue. If someone sets the tone throughout there is hardly a right to complain when someone else follows suit.

BTW...I'm not complaining about Hossy (I was in his corner along with most during the contest)...
My post was not a poke at Hossy (nor yourself) but rather a poke at those who choose to get up on the soapbox and preach about the principle of sportsmanship or lack thereof...

While the analogy compares situations that have taken place in vastly different arenas... for arguments sake the issues/principles may be considered somewhat similiar

-The competition... PG and RA's current connections are quite unpopular

-"Legal" Methods to enhance one's chances of winning exist(ed) but may be less than sporting.

I clearly realize that poking a lil fun at those who are preachy but inconsistent is no way to win a popularity contest...but hey I'm bored and it is afterall just the internet.

Not to mention poking at some that haven't even commented on "the principle of sportsmanship or lack thereof" to this point...

....but would it help if I acknowledge that you and a couple of others were unintended victims of unintentional collateral damage...

[philcski]

I'm glad I made the top of the list for "lack of sportsmanship" when the contest in reference involves a clown who continually reincarnated himself after getting himself banned under laughable circumstances.

I beg to differ.

Ask Justin Dew. I bet he can count on one hand the number of times I have said anything about a posted opinion of his with which I disagreed, despite the fact that the number of times I have vehemently disagreed with him numbers easily in the hundreds.

So it's not really a matter of attempting to stifle your opinion because it's not the same as mine. I'm generally a pretty big fan of people saying what they want to, whether I agree or not.

Let's just cut to the chase and admit that it's more a matter that your attempt to make DaHoss and others out to be some sort of hypocritical a-holes was a gigantic failure. Not so much an opinion on my part as it was simple, common sense observation of that failure.

[TheSpyder]

Can someone define sportmanship as it applies to threads?

Perhaps Steve can change your name to "Hi I'm God...Just Ask Me"...if he does then please discontinue begging...it is sooo beneath a deity such as yourself (do feel free to continue preaching however)

I can't even do it anymore.

Uncle.

What's with seemingly normal posters being invaded by the ghosts of pg1985 and blockheadd lately?

[GPK]

My God, I gotta get myself back on this board on a more regular basis. The conversations I'm missing out on are priceless.

I'm just curious. Please name five things I've said that you're disagreed with. It shouldn't be hard since the examples number in the hundreds.

And you can't use the following:

"Zanjero will win a Grade I."

"Nobiz Like Shobiz will ultimately prove to be the best of this crop."

"Bittel Road offers value in Derby Futures at 150-1."

Oh settle yourself down, it was clearly hyperbole. Point being I don't make a habit out of chastising other people's right to have opinions just because I don't agree with them.

You were just the best example I could think of off the top of my head of someone who I don't always agree with. However, I did love your POTN manifesto/post-Derby wrap up, but you know since that didn't fit the paradigm I've so carefully crafted over these years, the one where other opinions should not be shared unless I agree with them, I chose not to say anything postitive about it even though I read the entire thing.

Though if the "hundreds" portion were actually true, taking out the Zanjero thing would have been way unfair to me, since the sheer lunacy of it almost counts for hundreds on its own merits.

You ARE aware that he came within half a length of winning a Grade I, right? And I got 10-1 odds.

And Colonial Colony actually DID win one....let's not get carried away here about what that all may or may not mean.
