I found one post I saved.......

DFRATTINGER Feb-14 9:41 pm
To: MAJORITYWHIP (196 of 200)

13996.196 in reply to 13996.189

I bid farewell to all my close, close friends on this great forum...It is time that I move on in my life. Remember , 3/14/04 will show us how good LMD really is. Hope you all tune into ESPN for the great event.

I am going to be the big man here and bow out gracfully, although I am sure MD's real owners would love to hear about Majoritywhips claim of ownership, and that he is emailing people disgusting emails, sexually explicit emails, and I don't think MD's owners want to be affiliated with that, either do I. If Majoritywhip really works for the owners, they would probably fire him after hearing and reading a lot of his emails and posts. I have tried to make friends with the guy, but he isnt interested. He can do no wrong.

And it went on and on like that......for months.....it was great.

blackthroatedwind · #43 12-14-2007, 11:43 AM

Yes, thankfully he didn't " move on. "

Fearless Leader · #44 12-14-2007, 11:45 AM

He should be contacted and invited to join the forum.

It's humorous to me.

well if you found that humorous...

once on this forum i got into it with him on something and he got enraged (no surprise). So he sends me a PM threatening to contact my employer and letting them know that I spend a lot of time during the day on internet message boards. so I play along and ask how he knows my employer. well he said he has friends on this forum who would give him my IP address and that he would use that to track down the company I work for.
i don't remember how I responded.

it wasn't a pm. it was a post for all to see.

he knew some "jersey guys" who were on their way to texas where the offender lived.

that was during the great troll war at espn when some of the really seasoned folks at the basketball and football boards visited horse racing.

the board bully just had a meltdown. it was fantastic.

meant to quote this one on the above post.

Some of my favorites from that place are still some of the greatest ever.
By the way, I have some computer software that says Congaree is going to win the 2008 Kentucky Derby......perhaps because his jock is going to inject him with meth......during the race!!

No "great threads of all time" thread can really be considered complete without mentioning he who shall not be named.

it should be written. During a short period in April and May we had The Study Group Scandal, The Barbaro Breakdown Aftermath, and then The Troll War. It was too much and the place collapsed. Many refugees took shelter here.

As as aside, my all time favorite internet threads involved the horse LAST MINUTE DETAIL, his connections, and the run up to that years Classics. NOTHING will ever be funnier than that.

Bonus points for anyone that can name the horse that "Majority Whip" owned that was scheduled to face Last Minute Detail in the "Great Match Race" at Saratoga that same summer.

Good ole TT's forum!!! Who were you on that forum?

whodey17 · #52 12-14-2007, 02:30 PM

I wonder what has happened to some of the posters in those aforementioned threads.

I used to post on TT, but I think I managed to miss most of this. I was only there for the last year or so of that forum.

I used to have stupid slanging matches with BB, usually when I was full of some awful acoholic beverage. Those were the days, eh?

ah, yes...the good old days.

but out of everything mentioned, i don't think anything compares to being threatened with the fbi, cia and secret service...among others. repent was always good for a laugh.

i used to as well, and then it went belly up--the azeri/lukas/long whip thread was a classic.

I can't even remember the name I posted under on that forum, never mind which threads there were. I just remember having many many arguments with BB over complete nonsense.

Those were the college days, and there was rarely a night when I didn't get back completely smashed, in an angry kind of way. So I usually took the anger out on him.

I think I kept mostly to the international section back then.

Good times.

Why was the TT forum shut down. I never got the full story.

someone in the industry threatened a lawsuit--at least, that was the reason that was given.
i didn't go there much, espn was where i usually posted. but then one disappeared, and the other should have!!!

the azeri thread is one that sticks out for some reason. other than that....
