Was this the BEST criticism you could come up with of my posts ( in some pathetic attempt to defend another poster in this thread I assume )?

Next time, if you don't have something to add to the discussion, an opinion about what was actually being discussed, and simply have a pathetic and desperate need to attack the poster and not the issue, keep your fingers off the keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

First, I didn't defend anyone in this thread. I didn't "attack" you one bit. I didn't call you names. I didn't do anything but point out that you indulged in a bit of hyperbole in one post. It wasn't a criticism of anything you've said in regards to the entire ride, except that I found it mathematically unlikely that it was one of the worst rides in history.

Is that really what you consider an "attack?" Seriously?

Secondly, I said it was a terrible ride. I said that my "history" is such a tiny bit of the overall history, that it doesn't matter how many I can think of. But for starters, I'd say the stakes on closing day at Turf Paradise two or three years back when the rider misjudged the length of the race by an entire 7 furlongs would have been a dumber, more puzzling ride than this one. So, if in 17,000 races, I can think of even ONE ride more dumb or puzzling than this one....how does that bode for its place as one of the dumbest rides "in history?"

I generally steer clear from anything you post, agree or not, because you're a total loose cannon and are liable to fly off the handle at any second....ie, right now.
