The internet really makes people brave........and stupid apparently.
Never did I say that.
If that's what you read, go back and reread my post.
I never mentioned a name.
Am I to blame for something you thought you heard me say?

I'm assuming he thought that "btw" meant "Blackthroatedwind" and not "by the way." I thought the same thing...

I meant btw as "by the way".
I'm not backing down from my stand against racism.
If you took what I said in the wrong way, that's why I said you needed to read it again.

No, you agreed with a poster that called me a racist without making a distinction.....that is what you did. By inference you called me a racist.

You really need to think this over because you are completely f'n wrong.

I made no such inference.
When you decide to reread what I've stated, I'll accept your apology.

DTS, I've got no beef with either one of you, but can you explain to me what you meant in your post then? Why would you add the "btw, I hate disguised racism" quote if you weren't saying someone was a racist? Maybe I'm just not reading between the lines today.

Cajun,
That's a valid question.
I started at the beginning of this thread when I responded.
It seemed to me that some held a view, right or wrong, against the decision of the Arabian owners to retire their horse, for their as yet unsaid reason.
There seemed to me to be lots of animous against the Shiek and his family.
Perhaps the posters were mouning the loss of the horse, but it seemed to me that there were some unkind words said.
I think some read my posts the wrong way. I didn't accuse Black Throated Wind of being a racist.
I also will miss seeing Bern on the track. Hey, he's not my horse.
If Black TW thinks I have an alliance with S2S...well, he can think what ever he wants to think. I think for myself, and speak the same way.
I didn't accuse him of anything.
So, if you go back and read this thread from the beginning, you might find that there have been a few that criticized the Marktoums for their decision and vented their disapproval in a way that I find offensive.
I hope that answers your question, and wish only peace for everyone.
DTS

I'm a pretty good natured guy but you'll have to forgive me for assuming that someone who agrees with a poster who calls me a racist, with no caveat that perhaps he was out of line with me, is inferring that he also agrees I am a racist. If you fail to see how I would infer that from what you posted, to the other poster, then it is really you that needs to reread your comments to that piece of filth.

I could make a sick analogy, but would prefer not to as I think you honestly don't understand why I took offense to your post, but I will say that were I to simply agree with a poster here who referred to you as something objectionable I don't think you would be out of line with me if you were pissed at me as well.

Actually I did not, I knew he meant " by the way ", but as he was responding, in agreement, to the one post in this thread by that slime, one where he called me a racist with absolutely no justification whatsoever, and now with typical internet cowardice simply refuses to acknowledge what he did, I felt it was fair to say he was agreeing with him...considering he basically said " I know where you're coming from buddy ".

Just more of the same. No accountability on the internet.

I'm done with this nonsense. I tried to clarify the matter.
You seem to be very insistant.
Go fight it out with Sent 2 Stud.
All I said was that some people have difficulty making a distinction between the horse and the owners.
Have at it!
