And what do I get exactly?

Basically the "canard police" around every corner. The fact that Frankel cheated, something Brown has said for years, wiped away if mentioned b/c he's either dead or a friend.

-talk about takeout, a canard
-talk about racing surviving in its current state, non sequior

I don't have a problem. I could give a **** if you have a problem with me. I'm honest to a T on here. There is an ignore button if you want to use it, go ahead. In the meantime, there are lots of people who agree with me wholeheartedly but won't post as much to upset the board cabal.
I'm not going to debate how I run my website with you. But what amounts to 'honest' evaluations about the game are open to debate of course. What you want to characterize as honest seems to invariably be a dour, angry or similarly negative interpretation of virtually everything that comes up.

That's the crux of it, isn't it. Rather than listen to a message you disagree with, it's much easier to push it aside as the rantings of some crazed miserable internet poster(in fact I didn't realize how freaking joyous most posters are on here). I'm happy as a pig in **** right now actually. The fact is racing is in the death throws on many levels. And since I live in NJ and am a public employee, and voted for Chrisite against my own personal self-interests, I guess I can see the forest through the trees more than most....A slow motion train wreck is still a train wreck. Horse racing will rebound when the economics of the game don't count on Grandma to pull a lever.
