The point is this My Miss Storm Cat:

If one chooses to be a latter day Matt Drudge, the patron saint of aggregation news websites, and to be the clarion voice of what is right and what is not in the thoroughbred industry, one should not create a false bias by stacking the comments to one's articles and editorials with one sided replies and simply deleting any dissenting opinion(s) that accurately contradict such views. That behavior is neither fair nor balanced reporting, especially when you consider that some of the loudest "voices" being endorsed are the one(s) of the advertiser(s) of said website.

With regard to the lightning rod issue of lasix, therapeutic medication vs illegal drugs specifically, I don't think that there is anyone who doesn't want to see the users of the latter expunged forthwith from the business, however painting the former with the same brush is both inaccurate and amateurish. Censorship of anyone who endorses the use of the former to the further the agenda of a vocal minority is both disingenuous and counterproductive to addressing the serious issues at hand.

You are right, it is his ball, and he can play with whomever he wishes, however, in the age of social media and free access to news, duplicity and credibility are not synonymous.

I was impressed with words like temerity and castigate. The "just sayin" ending brought it down a notch or two.

Can someone explain to me why this guy is getting a hard time here?

Even if you disagree with what he said, it's not like he is out of line or I would imagine the mods would have deleted.
