A for effort, but BCH deleted all the posts and booted off the latest gal who protested against the administrator when she entered this:
It’s ‘controversial’ and ‘trolling’ to correct someone’s error (that in fairness to readers, BCH should be doing)? BCH, you are correct that you make mistakes. You ‘trust’ stories from ‘informants’, or you would not post them. You displayed statements from an individual who denigrated Chrome’s future racing abilities and labeled him as to a cheap claimer. You defended that pot-stirring opinion by your actions of posting it, or you would not have stood by it by even giving that entity a platform, so I hope you don’t attempt to excuse it by claiming you are ‘only the messenger.’ If those statements were not intended to bring a dramatic response from Chrome supporters, just what was it meant to be? It sounded just like cheap tabloid reporting. Well, I don’t care whether or not you believe me, but Chrome’s vet checks in often, and he likes what he sees. Unlike you, I only report what I witness ‘in person’.
They had been responding to a BCH-er who had incorrectly said Chrome was at Del Mar (when he is training in Los Alamitos):
If YOU are aware that Chrome is training at Los Al, then why didn’t YOU reply to the question yourself? I don’t see the answer as rude. I see that it was enlightening the person when another individual gave out an answer to them that was in error or misunderstanding, and no one corrected it. They ‘deserve’ a truthful answer. You report things such as ‘The Word is out’ about Chrome’s attitude (which is unsubstantiated). Just ‘how’ is he exhibiting his displeasure? Maybe you should ask Raul his opinion. If you haven’t witnessed the training yourself or interacted with the connections in person (or are more than ‘a fan at Los Al’), then you are at the mercy of others’ gossip. At the time it was posted about ‘The Word’, Chrome had been under saddle, much of it walking and jogging, for all of seventeen days – and he’s ‘showing signs he doesn’t want to race’? It is pure delight and a privilege to be close to share in this champion and connections. Where is the ‘dysfunction’? If Chrome races in the future, fine, if he retires to stud, amen. For those who want to continue to wring their hands and wail their indignation in their sackcloth and ashes, so be it, just keep it truthful for them.
Another one bites the dust… :eek:
