Welcome to the spotlight Mr. Dutrow. You obviously aren't smart enough to handle it if the best you can do is throw out other names in an attempt to excuse yourself by dragging down others and justify that two wrongs do make a right in your world.

We are all too aware of how much the mainstream media will think nothing of putting a story up on the internet, television, or the papers w/o following thru on the facts.
All for the sake of being the 1st to break a story ?

When I saw this thread yesterday, I admit I was annoyed "media-member" type behavior had spread to this forum as well. I could be wrong but that's how I interpretted it. Maybe it's nothing new, because I'm not here as often as most of us, but I haven't picked up on it until now. Yeah it's unfortunate I don't know anyone here. But the idea I put my first response to the thread as an attempt to show how clever I am, I promise would sound absurd to anyone who knows me at all.

I will address Thoroughbred Fan immediately.
Fair enough.. I understood the zeal of the thread start to bring a hot story forward, but the first response to it, within minutes, was a correction that the rumor was in fact false. It's not as if a debate raged for a day over idle speculation or mistaken innuendo.

I probably over-reacted to your jibe at TBFan too, but I do my best to minimize and eliminate posts and exchanges that I think people would prefer to take back or are in the process of creating conflagrations.

No harm done all around...
