Honest, it was tongue in cheek....But obviously I also missed some of the craziness of these posts b/c I only remember a few of them. Most must not have been in the Paddock. Whacked out fellow.

You have to have standards on here. I can't think of one person who got the boot who didn't deserve it. Not one....And those that go on their way and choose not to post here, you can't fault anyone here for that.

Repent was funny but one strange cat. If you really read between the lines he was so brainwashed and he took that to a new level. I think he is/was probably very bright but it just amazed me that he could not see he was as fanatical as the people he expressed hatred in. Poor guy wanted the world to be an easy place to understand... and just made a mess of it.

I had no problem with any of the above listed, either. Joel and I are good friends and I still talk to Mike.

Repent never believed a word of what he actually typed...his biggest thrill came from getting a rise out of people...and he did that quite often.

Not defending him or his statements, as quite a few of them were outlandish, but keep in mind it is the internet. Not everyone is whom they always make themselves out to be. (Case in point, me being portrayed as a sex god )

That being said....this IS a privately owned board and with that ownership comes the power and privelage to lay down certain ground rules as he (Steve) sees fit. Don't like the rules?? Carry your ass...

Sorry, just quoted you because you mentioned those names. We've already discussed this and we're both aware on where we stand regarding that. As for BTW, I don't have anything negative to say about him. He's definitely opinionated, but who isn't on here? Life is too short to get upset about people you've never met, and since the few members on this board that I have met (yes, Joel is included) have been nothing but nice and helpful to me, I will assume that Andy Serling is the same way in person.

You'd need only slightly block his friends driveway by a few inches to find out your assumption is wrong.

If that is true, then that would make him just about the last person I would want on a forum I was reading and/or contributing to. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer folks who mean what they write/say.

Obviously, we all understand the dynamic of a BB. We have a great forum here and a host that is looking to maintain a standard of behavior and decorum -- and not only should Steve be doing that, but I feel he is doing a great job. I know if several BB's and I enjoy this one the most because of the dynamic, the people, and many other reasons. With the exception of Oracle/Mike, I don't know any of the other people mentioned; and I've met Mike a handful of times at the track, spoke with him in person a couple of times, and that's about it. Simply put, eveyrone is who they are -- you may like them or not. They may land with you a certain way and that will cause you to react a certain way. I think we all know that's life.

So, without question, it is Steve's perogative and duty to suspend, ban, whatever, any members who he feels are infringing upon the standards he is looking to maintain. And, of course, not everyone will agree with him. It's a totally different issue as to whether or not it is appropriate to question him in a public forum or in some other fashion. Personally, I don't think it is. If I had that much of an interest or concern, I would e-mail him and discuss it in private.

In addition, I don't think an incident like this should be used as an opportunity to open the door to or start other attacks. My opinion is that if you don't like someone, their opinions, comments, etc. -- and you don't want to comment in a civil fashion or the like -- simply move on to the next thread.

You really cant blame people for missing a guy like Mike. While his personality probably doesnt gel with a lot of people, he went out of his way to give information out about this sport that you really need to be in the biz to know and gave info about horses he very well should have kept to himself. Communicating with him on email is better for me personally. So because of that, I dont really care if he posts here or not.

As for Balleto, is she real or not? I have heard shes a guy imitating a very attractive girl. Is this true?
