I share my honest thoughts.

Own them when I'm wrong.

I'd like to know about you.

Who are you? What do you do? Where do you live?

What makes you tick?

Why should we all accept your opinions as gospel?

You have the luxury of getting personal with many people. Passing judgment on them.

Tell us about DAHOSS

Wife, kids, job?

Normally it should be none of our business.

That's the sanctuary of the internet. But you've crossed that line so many times.

And not just with me. I'm only around for brief snipets. But I check in and see you being VILE and HATEFUL to legions of others.

Attacking them personally.

Let's hear about you.

I live rent free in your head. That’s all you need to know about me.

All because you couldn’t get free Phish tickets.

Hilarious

How they stopped participating because of you.

How they hate all the horrible things you say.

How they feel bad for me.

But that's where it stops. It's then I tell them I appreciate the sentiments. But I promise them it's OK. That I DON'T take anything you say to heart.

That it's the mindless distraction of the internet.

It's those people I feel badly for. They honestly care.

I could copy and paste 50 messages over the years from people who have been worn down by you and just given up.

Why does doing that to people give you such joy?

I agree. You should do it.

Let’s see what you have Vic.

He lies about going to 300+!dead shows as well as tickets to a place that is too big to sell out.

I do get paid to handicap at a track. I would handicap camel races at Oaklawn if they asked.

What an incredible gift from god to be able to feed my family by going to the races every day and get paid to do it.

As for bullying. That person has stated publicly he was sorry for crossing the line that time and apologized. As far I'm concerned it's over.

Other incidents, where IMO the line is flirted with but not crossed is just good TV.

Nancy and I walk that same tightrope at Oaklawn and the racing public has responded very favorably.

This is what jealousy looks like Vic

His brother would have paid.

I forgot about the supposed lying about number of shows I went to. That's like the cherry on top of the cherry!

The guy was literally at shows in Memphis and Birmingham with me....but it's inconceivable that I went to over 20 shows a year for the 14 years I was touring. Math is hard.

I have respect for the people who sent them.

It does say alot about the power, well it's not power, intimidation is a better word, that people don't want to waste their time dealing with you.

They clearly are smarter than me.

Please tell the truth. You can't REALLY think I care about anything you say?

You can't REALLY think that?

You’re the one that said you should print them. I’m just agreeing with you big guy.

You keep saying you don’t care, yet earlier you begged me to leave you alone.

Maybe stop trying to convince yourself because you’re not convincing anyone else.

I put much of the blame on Steve. I have no idea why he allows all the bullying. If this was my site I would never allow it. I'm surprised you are willing to put up with all the abuse. Keep up the good work! And don't let the haters get you down!

Haskell or The Travers. Epicenter looks like a horse who could win another 4 races this year. I wouldn't want to risk that by running in the Preakness. What do you think? PS: It's a shame we can't have these discussions on the board. But there are just too many pricks on there.

Hello Mr Stauffer,

I see you had a nice exchange with
Derbytrail's dynamic duo.

I know I'm no one to anyone here,
but I know from personal experience now
that these 2 troubled souls
are not worth anyone's time.

Sorry you had to find that out too .

That's just the last few weeks.......

So much for not posting private messages

I can prove to you I think this is all in fun and I don't take it to heart.

Let's SHOCK THE WORLD and call a truce. A Detente!

From this post forward let's make believe we are both brand new posters.

That we know nothing of anything that has ever been said.

I forgive you for anything bad you've said about me or anyone else.

You do the same.

In the old days of bowling it was called a fence. Draw a line after the 4th frame and start anew.

I think this could be a great site if we were civil to each other.

Let's give it a try. How about a 30 day cease fire?

Just the trading of horse racing views and opinions without personal attacks.

Let's show DERBY TRAIL we can be bigger than the petty sniping.

Let's start right now with this olive branch.

Deal?

[Dahoss]

I’d post all the private messages and texts I have from people but I don’t betray trust like that.

Says a lot about someone’s character that would.

But I don’t matter.

You’ve posted this probably 15 times over the years. You know the answer.

But you don’t take it to heart. LOLOLOLOLOL

None of that matters.

Are you man enough to move forward in a positive manner?

Just 30 days?

You can keep notes and rip me on the 31st day.

Let's do it for the other people on the site.

C'mon. Let's do it.

I think it will be fun.

No. I’ll post how I want when I want.

You’re back to pandering. Be yourself. Stop trying so hard to be nice. You’re not fooling anyone here.

Get your almanac out and check off your shows and do a count. It won’t be over 300. You forget that I’m your age and know how hard it was to get off work or around classes to go to shows. There may have been years when you hit 20, but not every year and you know it. My guess is around 200 tops. Math is hard, but counting should be easy. If you can honestly do that, I’d believe it. I doubt it. The question is , why lie about it ? Whst year was the most shows? Least number you attended ?

[Dahoss]

“Get out your almanac”

LOLOLOLOL

You’d think after embarrassing yourself the other night your hiatus would have been longer Dan.

Stop trying so hard to be nice?

Why would I do that?

I AM trying to be nice.

My offer stands.

Look here's a perk.

You can still be totally HATEFUL to everybody else.

Let's just you and I be civil for 30 days?

Deal?
