I wan't trying to attack him as a person, more his statements. I don't know him as a person. So I appologize for it being taken and coming off that way.

However, don't forget, for all his complaing about that one sentance, he had stooped to the same level and it wasn't about my comments. Not to mention his condescending posts and attacks.

How many ways are there to take calling someone a "muttonhead?"

More then by calling someone a "MF'er" or "A-hole." Correct?

How should I take being told to go play in a road? You don't see me crying about that.

This is getting pointless.

Why not get back to what this theard started about, the Met Mile.

I called him an idiot once and that was the end of that. I'm amazed that this has gone on so long.

I guess it depends on how much somebody likes mutton.

I have witnessed DrugS for years several years on the internet, going back to the AOL message boards of long ago. I have never seen anyone who could consistently come up with such astounding insights about horse racing. Racing is a little like baseball--most of the time your are not getting on base. But the DrugSter was like frickin' Ty Cobb or Ted Williams compared to 99% of the posters I've seen.

Since I am new here I cannot be too quick to judge, but I will sit back and see how well the loudmouthed table-pounders here can duplicate his feats. Anybody can cash Derby tickets on the favorite over the 4th and 2nd choices (hell, even I did that--and made a profit). But when you relentlessly tout Invisible Ink in the exotics for weeks, in the face of much ridicule, let me know.

I like DrugS a lot too. He'll debate you and at least attempt to substantiate his side. Good enough for me, even if we disagree on this or that. That's one of the many things that makes racing great, if we disagree on what hitter in baseball is better you can't do sh!t about it but at the track all opinions can be expressed with a wager.

Now that is what I am talking about!

Don't agree, put your money where your mouth (or keystrokes) is!

I think DrugS might just be an idiot savant (said adoringly, of course.)

is it really so adoring?

"a mentally defective person with an exceptional skill or talent in a special field, as a highly developed ability to play music or to solve complex mathematical problems mentally at great speed."

I think he'd be the first to glom on to the mentally defective bit, he'd be thrilled.
And he knows I adore him.

He is a nice looking guy when he isn't crossdressing.

DrugS is also lightning quick with a pail when necessary.

And....his opinion on horseracing takes a backseat to nobody.
