Either one of you have any prior history in detective work, because if not you missed your calling. How'd you ever crack that one? Any reason you feel the need to keep mentioning how you don't read his posts and he's on ignore? Who are you trying to convince.......other than yourself?

So let me get this straight, you have Morty on ignore, :rolleyes: so you can't read his posts, yet you know that the posts must be so bad that others shouldn't read them. So you're psychic too. And then the hero stuff......It brings a tear to the eye. You have the courage to stick up to the big bad bully and you post so others will have the intestinal fortitude to do the same. Wow.....

Out of curiosity, since the owner of this site, you know the guy that pays the bills here deems Morty alright, why isn't that good enough for you? I mean really, who the phuck are you that you feel like you can determine what this forum needs. When did you start making decisions around here? Well I feel like this board doesn't need characters like you. So hopefully someone reads this and has the intestinal fortitude to speak out about what an idiot you are. Surely if you decided to not post here anymore the overall quality of this site would go down rapidly, but we've had others come and go.

All I did was pile on with the folks, who like me, appreciate his self-imposed (and long overdue) exile. If I'm an idiot, as you suggest, please iggy me. I have great exchanges here with many posters. Yes, disagreements do occur. However, these mostly remain civil discussions.

I don't claim hero status -- but I've never backed down from bully. Frankly, Mort bullies here. His distasteful, and mostly off-topic, comments distract from the enjoyment and education this forum seeks to inspire among horseplayers. Again, if you disagree, exercise your freedom of speech rights and ignore me, too.

Santa Anita has $1.2 million carryover tomorrow. That's may more interesting than continuing this message. ;)
