I don’t know what you do as a trainer. I thought you were a respectable, reliable trainer who cared about their horses and did the right thing by them. You were in it for the horses and love of the sport, and NOT necessarily the money. Whether you agreed with me or not, you were among the VERY FEW ON THIS SITE I thought were worth listening to when it came to HORSES and the skills associated with their training.

As an aside, I would not joke about “popping a pill” before tacking my horse up on the backstretch and your associated questionable housekeeping habits. The Internet is a small world, and nothing is secure. So even though you are being cynical in making the referenced statements, in the wrong hands, the words you posted could give you more of a headache than you deserve. When taken out of context, you just painted a less-than-favorable picture of yourself as a trainer. I am assuming that is NOT your intent. You may wish to rethink them.

Just Wow.

Previously I thought this poster was 12. Now I think she’s your grandmother, @Laurierace.

(Though your granny probably has more sense.)

Everyone here (except for you it seems) knows @Laurierace quite well, either in person or from years of being on the COTH forums.

She owes you no reply to that very misplaced snark.

Ok now I’m convinced that this is just someone playing with chat GPT or some other AI bot.

Does this website struggle with decency and manners? All that is required is the response, “Thank you for asking, but I just don’t address that topic.” The way I was raised, kindness really doesn’t hurt.

I’m going to make the bold assumption that people want their horses to behave properly at all times. They will not put up with their bad or ground manners. I don’t. How about people expect the same of themselves and behave decently on this website? Simply avoid saying it if you can’t say it politely.

What you mean by “misplaced snark” escapes me. My retirement is scheduled to occur in the near future, and it is a success when you can do it how you want to! Financially secure, debt-free, with a solid financial profile, healthy, still young, mentally sound, with those you still love to share time with you, and able to simply relax and enjoy life the way it was meant to be…

Everyone that reaches retirement deserves to be congratulated because it is a challenge to reach this point in life the way you want to !!!.. What is your problem with that?

Your post was as far from congratulatory as it could be, and you are the only poster on this thread that has continued to be insulting (as well as dreadfully uninformed.)

Are you incapable of reading and processing what you post?
There seems to be a real communication issue here.

[skydy]

Perhaps that is it. Many of this person’s posts make no sense.

[Mohan]

I thought that but their history is pre-chat gp. Maybe they are using it now?

I don’t know but I do know they make zero sense and if that’s how chat gp works maybe the developers need to take it offline to fix somethings.

Karen is just bored again.

ChatGPT and other technology is new and still has a lot of quirks and risks to be worked out. It is pretty dissimilar from alcohol abuse, the signs of which science has known for quite some time.

That is very insulting of another poster.
Some sounds right down threatening!
Maybe is time to rethink if what seemed simpleminded now is flirting with crossing posting rules of polite discourse?
Not good to have that kind of attack on any poster, shame someone chose to go there.

I apologize if my congratulations on their retirement to Laurierace and career come across as congratulatory and rude, but I can’t help but admire their commitment to the racing industry throughout their long career and wish them a well-deserved retirement! I can understand the difficulties of being a racehorse trainer, and I hope they enjoy every second of this new chapter in their lives. This was the message I was expressing but failed to share. I have NO reason to be rude to them, and apologies for the hurt any rudeness and my miscommunication may have caused.

[Mohan]

Well you’ve been rude to everyone in this thread that has said you are misinformed. Everyone has been kind in correcting information. You managed to turn this thread into something I thought the CE thread would be. Maybe trot over there. I think you’ll find more like minded people.

You appear to have an utter lack of self awareness, if you can spout this after your previous posts.

Oh, she found exactly the people she enjoys trolling.

[skydy]

They are doing this on purpose? I suppose they must be. That’s really weird.

[Mohan]

You’re probably right but I like to give people the non-trolling benefit of the doubt because I can name some posters in my short time here that have her view point and people like them.

This ain’t her first rodeo.

Well that’s unfortunate.
