Yes, the entirety of the Internet is but a mere tributary of the Hollywood Park barn area.

What I think most people took offense to was the self-serving manner in which this thread was started, setting up a "straw man" (ie the DRF article) easily knocked down with the juicy insider info.

Its like if I started a thread with a link to an article about the Michael Jackson autopsy coming back without a cause of death, but prefacing it with, "Died of food poisoning. Ate ten year old weiner."
