What is it, a reflex?

No smartass, it isn\'t.

Of course, all the others that comment on comments don\'t get the JB scrutiny.  

You let Sekrah drone on, stating \"facts\" that are merely opinion...and you don\'t say a damn word about that.

Rick B just finished making another ridiculous comment, but of course thats ok too.

So you ask \"what is it\"??

Its a guy that selectively chooses to admonish, while letting those that bring you an apple run off with whatever strikes them.

So to answer your question.....that is what is \"it\".

I tell you what. Just for the fun of it, why don\'t you count Rick\'s posts on this thread, Sekrah\'s posts, and yours. And that doesn\'t count one or two I deleted.

[P-Dub]

Rick has plenty, I have a couple more.  He\'s done plenty of commenting on this thread. And you deleted some of his too.

Sekrah admitted he was out of town, and when he came back he jumped right back in.

There are plenty of threads on your board that have people going back and forth. My point is you single me out, while letting others make multiple comments.

Everyone has an opinion, but when some guy comes on here and states that his opinion is fact I take issue with that.

Show me a post where I state that my opinion is a fact. I may have a strong opinion, but I don\'t pull a Sekrah and state that my opinion is fact.

Thats what I objected to JB. Sekrah is free to state whatever opinion he desires.  He hates Zenyatta and the connections. We get it.  Paper champion and all that.

Trying to tell the rest of us it\'s a fact?? Well JB, sorry if I disagree with that.  I guess when Sekrah states his opinion,, we should all just accept it as fact.

Because by gosh, Sekrah said so.

You can stop the counter, I\'m done with it.

WOW.

Overhyped and overrated?

Who exactly is \'overrating\' her?

Most things i\'ve read about Zenyatta are negative, very few people have anything nice to say about her...i\'m not sure how all the bashing she\'s gotten equates to her being overrated. In order to be overrated, Don\'t you have to actually be able to find someone who thinks she\'s good?

[sekrah]

Hahaha.   Robert Cole and David Wells.   I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I\'m sending you both Christmas cards!

[TGJB]

Yeah, that\'s it, very few people have had anything nice to say about her. I suppose if this site is your only source of information that wouldn\'t be as ridiculous, but even here it\'s about 50/50.

That mare got HOTY without winning a single important race in 2010, the only time she faced top horses she got beat. That\'s true no matter how good you think she was or what excuse you want to give her for the loss. Whatever justification you come up with for that vote it\'s ultimately based on a LOT of people saying she was good and disregarding the record on the track in 2011. (And to be clear, it would be more silliness to give your version of the justification here now, it\'s not the point).

For hopefully the last time-- ability and accomplishment are two different things. Those of us who think she is overrated are looking at what we consider to be the disparity between the two things. One can think she was a very good, possibly even great racemare, and still think she is overrated.
