There isn't much on this forum that would actually qualify as "nasty" by any definition of the word.

When people say stupid things, they get taken to task. It should be therapy for those who can't seem to help saying stupid things...but if they keep coming back for more, they'll keep getting taken out back for it.

It's sure happened to me in my life before, and guess what? I'm smart enough to not bitch and moan, but to wonder why people got feisty in the first place. It's amazing how being honest about one's former idiotic statements becomes a really good deterrent against making them again in the future.

But if it's spouting just for the sake of spouting, then I would take the stance that you get what you ask for -- which is the whole thing we're encountering anyway.

And just who shall be the grand arbiter of determining a posted comment is stupid, uneducated, indefensible or made just to seek attention (never understood that one)? You? Me? Somebody else? Bullsh1t. If someone like a horse what does it matter how many people agree with his opinion? And if you don't agree with someone's opinion, that doesn't mean it's bad, it only means you think it's bad. Some difference there. Any honest horseplayer alive will tell you he's been beat by a horse he's had a bad opinion of. Guess what, that same horse made other people good money.

Crazy sh1t happens in horse racing every day. If you take it seriously enough you can and will find opportunities that 9 out of 10 of the top-shelf, 'name-brand' handicappers miss. The day you single or press a winning 20-1 in a successful p-3 or p-4 based on something you see or think, these same people will tell you you stabbed and got lucky. You'll know better.

Education and experience are overrated, by the way. Education gets you your first job. Experience gets you your second job. After that, it's all performance.

As an aside, didn't someone on this board like Summer Book in the Sunshne Millions race and was ridiculed to no end on this forum?
