![]() I am sure this is innocent enough. 2Hot wanted to know what happened to them. Well I must say, I've missed a thread or two that were then obviously deleted for due cause. That doesn't mean i didn't have to ask the group to let me know what had happened to someone. I'll just say that I am sure they are either gone for good cause or chose to leave. I think the site and most of us are great. Let's have fun and not think anyone is calling anyone out.

![]() I get the feeling there's an agenda with the initial question. Simply put though, the answer is covered in the Terms of Service statement in the Announcement Section at the top of the pages.
http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/announcement.php?f=2 I'm not discussing specific instances, except to say that some of the people mentioned are choosing not to post and some are banned. Hate speech, intolerance and other anti-social behaviors aren't welcome here, and I'm sorry if you find my arbitration odious. Decisions are made with the greater good in mind, and I believe the atmosphere set via that administration to be as positive as it can be. Based on the fact that on a daily basis 300+ people are posting, more than 800 view the Forum, and we're averaging 50 new members a week, I'll stand by the decisions I've made.

![]() I don't know what Oracle did to not be posting here anymore, I missed a couple of weeks, but I wish he was still posting. I never met him in person or talked to him off the board, but I learned more from him about handicapping and this game than anyone...Based on some of the postings, seems some that know him, had some issues with him, but I can't speak to that since I had not met him...That being said this is still a good site and hopefully I'll get to meet up with some of the DTer's during Derby Week...

![]() Repent doesn't beat around the Bush and says some **** that makes Tim Hardaway look like a saint. So I'm assuming he's gone for that reason. When Repent talks horsies, he's one of the smartest on here... It's when he talks about... anything else... yeah just about anything else is where he needs to put his foot in his mouth.
As for Baletto... I'm assuming she's busy with school n'stuff. Cajungator, any ideas where she is?

![]() Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box.
These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. No one'll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on.

![]() Obviously, we all understand the dynamic of a BB. We have a great forum here and a host that is looking to maintain a standard of behavior and decorum -- and not only should Steve be doing that, but I feel he is doing a great job. I know if several BB's and I enjoy this one the most because of the dynamic, the people, and many other reasons. With the exception of Oracle/Mike, I don't know any of the other people mentioned; and I've met Mike a handful of times at the track, spoke with him in person a couple of times, and that's about it. Simply put, eveyrone is who they are -- you may like them or not. They may land with you a certain way and that will cause you to react a certain way. I think we all know that's life.
So, without question, it is Steve's perogative and duty to suspend, ban, whatever, any members who he feels are infringing upon the standards he is looking to maintain. And, of course, not everyone will agree with him. It's a totally different issue as to whether or not it is appropriate to question him in a public forum or in some other fashion. Personally, I don't think it is. If I had that much of an interest or concern, I would e-mail him and discuss it in private. In addition, I don't think an incident like this should be used as an opportunity to open the door to or start other attacks. My opinion is that if you don't like someone, their opinions, comments, etc. -- and you don't want to comment in a civil fashion or the like -- simply move on to the next thread. Eric |
