To the OP- Sorry that your post got blown out of proportion. I got what you were saying.

The best message board posters/handicappers are gonna troll, and you gave them the ammo. But I interpreted your post as positive. I wish you didn't follow up with that low paying NYRA gig post, but I get the positive intent in the original post.

Trollers gonna troll.

He pretty much exposed himself as the troll and here you are defending him? His posts have been only meant to slight, as anyone with a shred of a brain can see.

what? The original post was that Andy Serling was cool enough to admit that his picks weren't good at Toga lately. That was the intent.

So it caused his friends to go broke. OK. But what the OP was saying was that he thought it was classy that Andy tweeted/admitted (which he did, I saw the Tweet) that his picks weren't good lately.

Now that whole thing about the low-paying NYRA post was really stupid to add, but the original post's intent was positive.

It was stupid to start a thread about this... but in a dumb way the intent was positive.

It wasn't positive.

It was a troll, doing a rather weak job of trolling.

The poor troll, in his fantasy world, was the victim of 'disparaging public remarks' made against him when BTW was supposedly trashing the good people of the horse racing industry.

It was completely phony and ridiculous.

A few years back, Miguel Cabrera made disparaging comments about my dog Arnie. I just wish I knew what, if any, boards he posts at or reads, so I could troll him the next time he has a bad week or goes into an 0-for-18 slump. His slump will cost my imaginary friends, a whole lot of imaginary money, but I will take the high road and call him a classy guy because he'll tell reporters stuff like he wasn't expecting an off-speed pitch on a 3-2 count, and was cheating on the fastball.

To be fair to Cabrerra, Artie looks like he has a touch of the mange, and his breath is as bad as his farts....just sayin
