Sorry for you and the other self-characterized more knowledgeable here, but no, I don't feel I have to "defend" my opinion any more than I already have discussed it. It's called opinion for a reason. You don't like my opinion, or think it's wrong, or silly, good for you! That's what makes parimutual racing.

Neither do I think it is passive-aggressive or "poor me" to name other people's behaviour for precisely what it is. I suppose you evaluate others through your own behaviour patterns, though.

Actually, the only one in this conversation that is " self-characterized " as, really, anything, is you.

You would be able to defend your opinion if it actually was defendable. It isn't in this case. But, hey, you can always resort to ridiculous characterizations in that case.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Too bad you don't extend the same courtesy back to me.
