at any rate, altho things get a bit ugly in here at times, at the end of the day it's still generally a fun place to visit.
there may be times that feelings get a bit hurt, something rubs the wrong way, but in a crowd this diverse, we're not all going to agree 100%, regardless of the issue.

this is supposed to be a discussion board and opinions on horse racing like many subjects vary. That's where some act like adults and others take criticism well. The poor sport find it the time to open their bowels over others. Unfortunately the playing field seems to be tilted for some. Some get their posts deleted that is found offensive or leaning to a possible cyberbrawl. Others can get away with anything verbally offensive or visually disgusting. So I was curious who are these untouchables that a reply in defense would cause a deletion of our post.
