i like it here-so glad steve put it together, and that he has a lot of patience!!

I posted at ESPN for almost 10 years, second longest continual poster to Chris (SCC)...the board always had troll issues and a few flamers who enjoyed personal attacks but was enjoyable because of the cross-section of horse folks who posted there...almost all the worthwhile posters moved here and Steve and those that assist him have done a wonderful job maintaining all the good aspects of the old board while eliminating the problems! Well done!!

OK, so that got my mind on the ESPN board so I just dropped by to see what was happening...one of the threads I saw right away was..."Barbaro finally at the glue factory"...so much for visiting that board anytime soon! When folks complain here about posts being removed, free speech yada yada yada, take a second to remember the alternative...some people are simply sad excuses for human beings!

Amen to that, Somer. I went over there last night and didn't regret leaving after reading the titles to a few of the threads. Some people have very little class...

This really is a great board. Especially for those of us that work (I am typing this while I eat lunch and putting in grades). It really helps me keep up with the horses when I dont have the time to read all the sites, DRF etc...

And the folks that do the moderating have a thankless job as already mentioned so I will respect the decisions made even though some of the banned posters added some good info. and because I dont know what they might have done. Some of it was most likely very offensive and unnecessary.

Yup Pgardn. Well said.
I hope Mike comes back, and the same with Euro.
Sometimes the fingers fly faster on the keyboard before the brain kicks in, especially when the "submit reply" comes along.
Tolerance and forgiveness work.
Hey, I'm plenty stupid at times, and a few disagree with me as well.
Makes it interesting, as long as anger and other stuff doesn't come on.
This is the best place.

Mike is best in small doses. An occasional break cleanses the palette.

I was putting in grades yesterday. The year is half over and you know what that means. Halfway to the summer, then on to Toga.
