Yet today, no bitching. Guess everyone is biased to some extent on everything huh?

Listen, I have no dog in this fight. Just to be clear, so there is nothing behind the curtain, I know Bruce Levine and have had horses in his barn for several years. That's it. We are not best friends, we don't vacation together with the wives or anything like that. Anyway, being that you weren't accusing him of anything, I am not defending him. But, in going on you reasoning, if this was a topic of conversation here -- do you really believe that droves of posters would make Bruce Levine out to be public enemy #1, or would he be the target of critisicm from the bettor, owner, competition, etc.? Should a guy like Bruce Levine be as big a target as some others? I know you don't believe that.

Anyway, I very clearly get that you weren't accusing Bruce Levine of anything. I get it. I really do. However, I think even your point was off base. Be that as it may, if other trainers -- one or several -- who are friends or clients of yours, are commonly a target or are "jumped on" all the time, etc. -- are you kidding me? The bias is virtually inherent. I think we all know that -- author, reader, whoever. I think that's part of the dynamic of a BB.
