putting him on ignore will not block all of the people who are quoting him.

when I log on i read everything from everyone, have never blocked anyone and don't want to. that doesn't mean I care for all of it though.

or maybe just exactly like you...

I'm just as guilty if not MORE guilty of that. I'm sorry to everyone that is annoyed by my posts. I'll stop doing it.

Payson Dave · #44 07-13-2007, 03:49 PM

I'm one of the ones that thinks Morty adds to the place rather than detracts from it....many of his post are intended to be humorous...there are more than a few on here that are totally ridiculous when meaning to be serious...lighten the puck up...

I wasn't being facetious when I posted that. I need to stop doing it. It's more a boredom thing.

Must be nice to get off work at 4pm.

Are you going to Saratoga for opening weekend? I need to get back down to South FL and make one of the Calder weekends in August. Hopefully, you'll need a beer buddy.

Cajun,
So do I!!! I need to stop doing it.
Should we start a 12 step program..."Off Topics Anonymous"?

Now about the boredom thing...here's a question I've had floating around inside my head when I was at the check-out line, and overheard two ladies talking about "undergarments". Since I'm not female, could anyone explain the difference between "thongs" and "granny panties"?
Thanks, not to go off topic....

No Saratoga opening for me. That's a busy time. Come on down for a card anytime.... Turf Sprint day is Aug 11.

I'm not sorry. Ok...maybe I am. But being sorry is good sometimes. Right?

i never implied that, any more than you are implying everyone should be just like morty.

I said that I don't put anyone on ignore, and that I wasn't calling for anyone to be banned.

my only point was that for me, he is a large distraction on this place. much much more than any other person and I said we ALL go OT.

after talking to people directly this week I realized that many people have the same feeling as I do but they don't say anything.

no big deal, you morty people are enjoying the board more, others find it tiresome and distracting.

but he doesn't limit his OT stuff to those area's. come on. he's on every thread with the same schtick.

of course it would be dull if everyone were the same, no one wants that. But wouldn't it also be total chaos if EVERYONE posted like he does? think about what this place would look like. as I said earlier everyone brings some OT stuff into racing threads. I'm guilty of that myself. But i'm constantly policing myself on it and when I think I've gone overboard (2-3 OT posts) I just shut up. Morty doesn't regulate himself. he interjects into every thread, and often very rudely I might add.

I've commented very little on the Morty Phenomenon. I'll simply say that I believe having him here, while not 100% pleasureable, is more a positive than a negative. I understand why people can find his 'performance art' annoying and a distraction, and I was in that camp initially myself.

However, his musings, if you take the time to read them and follow them, are genuinely smart and funny and frequently hysterical. I'm not trying to insult those that don't "get it" saying this. There isn't anything 'to get'... He is an agent provocateur here and most often defuses more than incites. But as an agitator, I understand that some are turned off. But most miss him when he goes on his frequent 'walkabouts' or would really miss him if he left.

There's room for nearly any type of Internet denizen here, and though he does go over the top, generally he is 100% harmless and contributes to the atmosphere of manic frivolity that pervades the Forum.

Can we get all that re-typed, in layman's terms?
