" I received a complaint this morning that you have been digging into a BOAY members personal life. If that is proven true by another source then you will be banned. It is dead against the principles of BOAY." Backtracking quite a bit aren't we

What a load of bollocks over a trouble maker and troll known to anyone who frequents racing chat sites, Thomass for the uninitiated, and I fully support free speech, but not for trolls, I thought that was common sense Some of the comments about RC are absolutely spot on about the past, Joe Kidd you are right. But suggest a few check it out now, a lot of that stuff has gone, and the site is being run well. Anyway, I don't care whether the site continues or not, Thomas stays or goes or whatever. I have no enthusiasm left for the site, and an owner that tries to concoct that there was a complaint about me digging into a posters personal details, when he knows full well that I have never had access to personal details on BOAY. Bit mischievous there Doug, I hope you don't include honesty as one of your principles. And all this from someone who put 9 months into helping to build this site

If you don't believe me, have a look at the thread with my name on it at RC. They could have had a field day with it, with the issues over Thomass, but Scooby, to his credit, has quelled any further comment on it, not by closing the thread, but by a simple comment about what to focus on

Spot on JJ Always keep an eye on what your opposition is doing As much as I hate to say it, as I have lived this site for the last 9 months, but in the last few months, RC have raised their game substantially. Scooby has either learnt from the bad old days, or is being mentored by someone like Phillip Quay. It is now BOAY that has the more toxic atmosphere, more threads closed, more off topic stuff(sorry, I realise this is also). BOAY, no longer has this as an edge And no, I am not interested in RC, I also have principles!!

I'm still here, never left

Nah, don't worry the ship won't sink, but it will never achieve the heights that I had hoped it would when I first started helping, namely RC when Dave and Angie ran it. I wasn't around then, but many have commented on the great community and fun spirit that existed. I, like many of the longer term supporters, who have been alienated by this issue, I presume, will keep our options open with respect to the toleration of a destructive troll Thanks for your kind words by the way, much appreciated

No thanks I'll just stick to the comps While you are on your high horse with principles of free speech, sticking by those that have helped you is pretty up there for me Good luck with the troll running amok on your site You have failed miserably in managing him so far, so I don't expect that to change

It's a Friday avo, let's have a bit of fun I suppose I better vote for me Thats Hesi 1 Thommo 1 Although Thommo's vote was a bit sus, coming from a oxidation pond stooge of limited intellect

No Doug He requested it, you agreed, over to you, dont duck it Besides which it is not necessary, the guy is trolling the site as many have told you, take responsibility as site owner If there is support for your stance as you say, where is it, I have seen very little online Besides which, and as you well know, I cannot set up polls

Yes absolutely I defy anyone to name a better 3 year old that has come over from Aus in recent years

Yep, big days racing coming up at Ellerslie Can we rename this thread Punting 201, and hope it can continue in the right spirit, of people offering their knowledge, by putting forward what they believe to be value selections Come on Mardi, Curious, Barry, VC, Turny, Sandpiper, FTF and a few others I may have missed(apologies). Obviously if our friend joins the fray, then the thread will die, but let's give it a try anyway

Keep it simple Doug The guy is a troll, who is reeking havoc on the site. So many are trying to tell you that, yet you continue to argue the point. People are getting very flustered and agitated about it, because they see what is happening and despite some of the rhetoric getting a bit heated, they are doing it to try and save the site. Another suggestion, put the guy on hold for a month, and see how quickly things return to normal. Surely you can do that, just think of it as a social experiment If I'm wrong, then I will willingly leave the site Just long enough for PJ's current comp to finish

That's correct, under the Harmful Digital Communications Act. Which is why, I asked him to point out to me the post, (and I would have deleted it), because I had missed it, and you had apparently also missed it. It's something I did on a small number of occasions. Anyway, Thommo, did not respond then and he did not respond to my post a few days ago

And stop hanging the I am the victim thing on us You are the author of your own destiny

And yes the freedom of speech principles you hold so dear and that we ALL also support apply in 99.99% of cases, but this is a very very unusual case with a person who has some serious behavioral issues

Keep it simple though, this guy is a troll, and should have been despatched a long time ago. If you can't pick that, as most people have been telling you, you have no place owning and running a social media forum. You have laboured over this, in the extreme, when some very basic common sense should be applied And spare us the fucking bleeding mob mentality crap, people are trying to help you to save your own fucking forum, no other reason Yet still you argue the point Unbelievable

I noticed in the Messara Report, that he phrased the money distributed to the codes, as money the Government forgoed, allowing the racing industry to keep

And as we are bobbing around in the brine, we can all look at each other and say, well at least we upheld the principle of free speech. How do you know all this by the way Happy

I'll post it, minus your name, so people can draw their own conclusion His real name is Xxxx Xxxxxxx An absolute nobody in the industry. Aged about 58 and lived at home with his mother in Panmure till she died a few years ago. He emails stipes and clubs under false names such as nicky milne and ricky cave, because he knows hes a nobody with zero credibility. Cameron George once suggested they talk over the phone regarding an issue he was harping on about via email. Xxxxxxx shat his pants and said he was deaf. The guy is a joke. Keep up the good work!

You're clearly from the dark side Nice Option, only someone with above average intelligence could deduce something like that. Never count your chickens as they say

2 points on first reading 1. We all pay taxes, to pay for infrastructure, without which the industry could not function, so that is a moot point 2. The rainfall in Hamilton falls reasonably consistently over the year, June to Sept percentage is 39 not 70%

But you have invited this The guy is clearly a troll and should have been dealt with ages ago by you Had that happened, none of this would have happened By the way you are drawing a long bow suggesting anyone is researching his background Someone who clearly knows him sent me a PM saying who he is and that he has done this sort of thing before, with quite a bit of detail

2500 posts on thoroughbred from mid Dec to mid Jan, no agro, RC had half that The best thread we've ever had Punting 101, great knowledgeable posts by Mardi Barry Curious VC FTF Turny and a few others. No sniping or non sensical stuff The TAB thread, 500 posts, 12,000 views, no agro also, except towards the TAB, RC had only 300 posts

I did actually ask you to point out the post that said this, but you never did. I recall I made comment at the time that such a post would be unacceptable and be deleted

I'm only back to try and get rid of you somehow If that doesn't eventuate then I'm gone
