Perhaps a little more respect and a little less intolerance might be in order

Don't mean to offend, as others obviously have, but unfortunately I didn't get the benefit of a babysitter when I joined this forum. Nor do I need one. I suspect had I acted as Morty has managed to do over the course of a week, I would have been dismissed. It's plainly apparent what Morty's objective is in almost every, if not every, thread he has posted. And that is to provoke others and cause consternation in a play to get attention. Little am I to speak, as I've only been around here for a couple months but my only request is for him to show common decency to others and quit making it his objective to simply ANNOY everyone he encounters. If he continues to post in the manner he has, he deserves to be banned. Just as I would if I carried on the way he does.

And before everyone says just ignore him, I do; now. But, this is a FORUM in which members rely on others to partcipate in a manner which is conducive to the overall objectives of both promoting the sport of horse racing and becoming more informed fans. I don't mean that these are the only objectives, but probably the main objectives, and Morty has, so far, done little to further either of them. Instead, this has been his playground to frustrate, or "vaporize", as many members as he can.

Please, I don't want a reaction, I am more than capable of forgiving another and moving on. But, one has to prove themself worthy of being taken seriously when they have promoted themself as Morty has. And, in my opinion, in order to be taken seriously, a degree of transparency is required. The detective act and his "finest work" is probably more suited for another setting, such as the role-playing community... just my opinion. This seemed to be the appropriate place to say such a thing.

As we were...

Court jesters had a long history.

King James had Archibald Armstrong.

Charles I had Jeffrey Hudson.

Usually they were executed in due course.

Anyways......is Andrew the best...or what?


NO...he didn't ask me here. NO he doesn't protect me here.

Some of you I might have guessed would stab me firmly in the back.

Mighty white a ya.




I would like to apologize to BuffyMommy.

My attack was in fun....ah like the name ya got.



I have no idea what you look like or who you are. I did not mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I make fun of each and every fool here including myself.

So again ,BM, I........

I have a nice make upee-poo present for Can'tdall.

It's a very nice slingshot with a set of very hard vulcanized projectiles.


I want him to learn how to use this properly so he does not make the mistake so many other bad slingshotters do.



Now Can'tdall......grasp the weapon by the handle.

Do it smartly now.


All right...insert a vuclanized projectile into the big ol' stretchable catapult set in the "Y" of the slingshot.



Good.




Now..and this is very important.

DO NOT stretch that catapult toward you.



Grasp the catapult cradling Mr. Projectile and pull it AWAY from you.....downrange......you should be looking right at Mr. Projectile.



Now line up your target......and Mr. Projectile......and the space between your eyes.










FIRE!!!
