I can't believe how uptight some of you are recently. What's with all the high and mighty bullshat and the holier than thou attitude (BTW, Stone Gossard to name a couple) lately?

Here's the difference.....I am accountable for what I post.

Plus, I won't ever apologize for respecting the wishes of someone who is gravely ill. If that's " holier than thou " then I can certainly live with it.

Accountable? Accountable for what? Do you know Frankel wishes his condition to be private? Even if he does, it's not as if he's keeping a secret like him cheating on his wife, or something embarrassing like that (I am not implying anything here at all).

And it's not just the Frankel thing. The whole thing with Stauffer was ridiculous. It's so ridiculous, I'm pretty sure Gossard had to be doing that for some reason that had nothing to do with his claim of bias.

It's hardly a stretch from the article to think Frankel wishes to keep it private. Being that it is his life, I think the least someone can do is assume that until HE makes the choice to discuss it, keep it private. Clearly others disagree....but that doesn't change either my opinion or the way I will lead my life. Just because it's not " embarrassing " doesn't mean it isn't private. In fact, one could argue that makes it moreso.

As for the other thing you referred to.....that's not my concern. I didn't bring up the issue, or engage in the conversation, but that was someone's personal opinion about something public. Apples and oranges.

Yeah I had a reason. I watched the race and thought it was a ridiculous call. What the hell is wrong with that. There are plenty of threads on here which I feel are ridiculous...but you know what...I stay outta them. I don't jump in whining and crying that the thread starter is being unfair.

You out of anyone on here should be talking....you wrote a thread about DrugS walking around with one contact lense in. Talk about useless drivel being posted on here.

My sincerest wishes for Bobby Frankel to get well soon. May his illness and recovery be speedy and as pain free as possible.
