putting him on ignore will not block all of the people who are quoting him.

when I log on i read everything from everyone, have never blocked anyone and don't want to. that doesn't mean I care for all of it though.

or maybe just exactly like you...

I said that I don't put anyone on ignore, and that I wasn't calling for anyone to be banned.

my only point was that for me, he is a large distraction on this place. much much more than any other person and I said we ALL go OT.

after talking to people directly this week I realized that many people have the same feeling as I do but they don't say anything.

no big deal, you morty people are enjoying the board more, others find it tiresome and distracting.

Out of curiosity, why are you posting in the above format now? Have you gone off your rocker? LOL

Maybe if you're his "friend", then Morty is 100% harmless and entertaining, but if you make the mistake of getting annoyed and responding to him (like I have), then he is relentlessly vindictive and disrespectful (I made #2 on his list in a thread which has since been deleted).

That being said, I have to admit that I often find him to be clever and funny, in the way that Steve discovered him to be. And, despite the fact that he routinely states that the worst thing in the world for him would be if I defended him, I applaud Steve's belief that being occasionally annoyed is a small price to pay for being exposed to diversity in thought. Steve has made it clear what sort of behavior he will not tolerate. Absent that, when you start excluding people because you disagree with what they say, you're headed down a slippery slope.

And, finally, for the record, and despite Morty's frequent insinuations, if you got charged with a crime in Philadelphia, there's few people in the world you would rather have on your side than me.

I'm just as guilty if not MORE guilty of that. I'm sorry to everyone that is annoyed by my posts. I'll stop doing it.

Must be nice to get off work at 4pm.

Are you going to Saratoga for opening weekend? I need to get back down to South FL and make one of the Calder weekends in August. Hopefully, you'll need a beer buddy.

No Saratoga opening for me. That's a busy time. Come on down for a card anytime.... Turf Sprint day is Aug 11.

I'm not sorry. Ok...maybe I am. But being sorry is good sometimes. Right?

Cajun,
So do I!!! I need to stop doing it.
Should we start a 12 step program..."Off Topics Anonymous"?

Now about the boredom thing...here's a question I've had floating around inside my head when I was at the check-out line, and overheard two ladies talking about "undergarments". Since I'm not female, could anyone explain the difference between "thongs" and "granny panties"?
Thanks, not to go off topic....

I'm one of the ones that thinks Morty adds to the place rather than detracts from it....many of his post are intended to be humorous...there are more than a few on here that are totally ridiculous when meaning to be serious...lighten the puck up...

but he doesn't limit his OT stuff to those area's. come on. he's on every thread with the same schtick.

of course it would be dull if everyone were the same, no one wants that. But wouldn't it also be total chaos if EVERYONE posted like he does? think about what this place would look like. as I said earlier everyone brings some OT stuff into racing threads. I'm guilty of that myself. But i'm constantly policing myself on it and when I think I've gone overboard (2-3 OT posts) I just shut up. Morty doesn't regulate himself. he interjects into every thread, and often very rudely I might add.
