hesi Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) To the many people who have joined BOAY and help establish this site by contributing, either by helping run things or simply just posting their views. What is important is providing a free and open forum for people to discuss all matters racing and otherwise, without fear of abuse or retaliation Most who join seem to contribute, which is what a chat site is all about and spurs others on to also post This site has been going just over 4 months and we are under no illusion at the task at hand of establishing a strong foothold against an established competitor, which we are doing with your input So lets repay Chief Stipe(Doug) for having the courage of his convictions in setting up BOAY, in the face of much adversity and unfortunately, abuse, by making this site a fantastic place to be, full of fun, laughter and discussion..............and no inequity The last bit is a quote from FeelTheFear, thanks Edited August 8, 2018 by hesi 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFear Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Sorry, I thought this was Tommy's site, my mistake. ?Thanks to The Chief for weathering the storm in the face of abuse. PS: Tommy is like my cat, poops on the floor but I love her really. Well I still do, even though I had to have her put down. Onwards and upwards is the rallying cry Chief and Hesi (Little Chief?)

jess Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Yep thanks Chief. Enjoying things here. It can be a fine line between free speech and people being pains in the ... buttocks, serial pests and ruining it for the majority. But so far so good and the moderation seems to have been done with a light hand and no favoritism. C'mon out Chief - take a bow and accept the accolades - if you don't post on this thread I'll be worried the men in suits that you were threatened with have finally turned up and dealt to you ? All the best. J. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The oxidation pond was once a superb place to drop in and share your perspective on racing and enjoy that of others. Then it was hijacked by a 15 ft tall narcissist ex jockey who thought it was entertaining to talk down and ridicule anyone who had the audacity to hold a different perspective to him. Then along came the next cab off the ranks. The lion from Wizard of Oz masquerading as Fred and Daphne's friend barking at the moon while sucking up to and protecting his favoured little boys club stopping only to enjoy lemon juice while trying to understand the meaning of the word "hypocrisy" We should thank them as this awesome site would not have been needed had the oxidation pond continued to run the way it did for previous owners who were not on power trips massaging their own egos. RIP that site. Onward and upward to this site which will only get bigger and even better. Happy days. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about whether anyone does like you Scooby worry about those who purport to like you but will turn like a rattlesnake when the time comes. History is littered with people who go out of their way to help then get promptly shat upon. Your time will come make no error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
