Sorry, but one seems like an important issue to me and one doesn't. Just my opinion of course and I enjoy all of the discussions here. But one actually impacted people and one didn't.

a dozen? and of course horses included or left out will be discussed in a thread about eclipse awards.

It was 10, not 12. Got me.

My point remains the same. I wonder if there would have been this kind of outrage had Steve not said anything. I follow the sport very closely and until Steve said something I didn't even realize she was omitted, because I never even considered her a winner of the award.

Maybe that is what happened to the voters. I don't know. Just so there is no confusion, I understand why this is an issue, I just wish issues that actually impact people were discussed with this much passion.

This happens every year, obviously this is more personal for Steve in this case, his comments should be viewed as such.

There are a lot of people voting that do not take it seriously or do it fairly, hard to hold these awards with any value given that light.

they are, or even more so.

i have never understood why people jump into a discussion only to say it shouldn't be taking place, or that other things are more important.

They are? Where?

As for your second paragraph that isn't what I did.

you got me. i'm sure all the impassioned discussions we've had here over the years on a variety of subjects is a figment of my overblown imagination.

have a great day.
