It is not that at all. You just have to avoid saying stupid things and expect someone not to challenge them. You know, like these gems:

* That your dog is trained by Steve Byk ATR

* That you bash an entity, county and police force in charge of throwing a big event and that you barely got out with your life last year while saying that you bought tickets to the same event this year.

* That you have made enough wagering to pay off your mortgage.

* That you call people a troll and then say you never said anything negative about them.

* That AP hardly broke a sweat in the Kentucky Derby.

* That you told Bob Baffert years ago when you met him to call you if he needs any advice.

You avoid saying stupid things like that and post things that are credible and make sense and you will be fine. Though I would not recommend coming on after the Derby and posting in several threads that you love winning and it feels so good to pick the right horse when you picked the favorite in the Derby.

Golly gee point man, I have been remiss in thanking you and others for the warm welcome and thank you for explaining this all to me. Because I, for one, am so naïve and uninformed about these things, I will try very hard from now on to make sure anything I post passes your sieve test. I'll sleep much better now knowing the rules of engagement we must follow here.

But I would suggest, if I may be so bold, that you should try and lighten up a bit, relax and don't take everything everybody says so seriously or personally . . . you'll feel better and live longer that way. You appear to be, among others here, strung as tight as a cheap Timex and you know what happens to cheap Timex watches. No hard feelings on my part. Peace and brotherhood and since I'm older and pretty much set in my ways . . . well I probably spell potato differently than you do and always will.

Now on to more important stuff like the Preakness and other pertinent horse racing talk.

Are you Easy Goer Otis' alter ego or something?

Though it seems obvious, it seemed clear to me that a few, including you, didn't understand that. But therein lies the problem, myself, and the others that you like to disparage, try to focus on the pertinent part.
