Mayfair Speculating about to stop

Yip, started to lack class a while back.

Hopefully whoever does have to unwind this implosion, can pick a way forward that does diminish the the knock on to innocent people like the grooms of those horses and indeed, the horses themselves. And the trainers most of whom are just trying to be successful and make a living.

Agree to a certain extent, people are now using Jooste as an platform to get stuck into others! Fairly or unfairly!

Think it’s time we all need to post in real names? Warren Laird has shown he’s got the baws!

If not for every post then for posts when we mention individuals?

What you think?


Might need to start deleting stuff otherwise

I think you are correct and I will not b offended if you delete anything I might have said or will say that you deem unsubstantiated

I agree wholeheartedly that if you are going to have a go or opinion on someone personally then you must post under your real name and not a pseudonym. Been wanting this since I furst came onto ABC.

Bob I fully agree put your name for all to see then you can say what you like but be prepared for comeback if you passing on hearsay...and naming people .

I fully agree. All posters should use their own name.

Ditto

We agree too.....many more "proper" racing folk would post again.

Agree totally... its long overdue that these nameless keyboard warriors(who want to hide nameless in the dark and attack others from behind computer screens ) start posting under their real names.

Best thing that abc will do in a loooong time if you implement it.

Agree absolutely 100% Bob

Well i consider myself a proper racing person. I know many that are proper racing people that are banned here for example. I also know MANY MANY MANY proper racing people that bring MY sport into disrepute every day and twice on Sundays.


Enough now with the "us v them" YOU are no more to racing than me and for sure NOT more proper or improper than me.

and i might just ADD to this as I'm raging at the condescending attitude above.


ITS "PROPER" racing people that shafted David Safi for years and "PROPER" racing people behind the new site which in essence is a carbon copy of his wonderful product. "proper" racing people that instead of approaching him went and try and do it themselves.

"proper" racing people my arse

Morning or evening all

Its early morning here but just catching up

Lets be honest most of the posters using different names we are all aware whom they are.

Its the few very outspoken ones that tend to get carried away with attacks (that may be factual) but by using their real names would give a bit more credibility both to themselves as well as the site

I do notice its the same trend on SP ( so guess its a forum thing, betfair also a good or should i say bad example)

We have been in this game many years and not the first time we have experienced this trend and we can fix.

Bob knows when we cross the line and when to make the necessary judgment, with full support.

Unfortunately these bitter posts tend to come to a head when "real racing" folk ( not my choice of words) totally ignore the reality of what is happening around them, during these very concerning times for many.
I have not spent time on other sites but gather the "real racing folk" are still in denial.

Enjoy the festive season.
