Should Draynay be Banned?

Alright. It is time this thread be brought up. Draynay is bringing down the overall demeanor of the forum on a daily basis, and it is on a downward spiral with threats from some of more prominent posters talking about leaving (FB, G911, DC, etc). I even find the maturity of my own posts diminishing as the weeks so by.
Here is the deal. I'll leave this poll open for 3 days. At the end of the week I will e-mail Edward with a link to the thread. If there is enough negative response maybe this will lead to some action. It is his site, so I can't guarentee this will lead to anything, but it is worth a shot.
If possible, Edward or Veronica, a sticky would be great. If not, I'd appreciate some bumps of the post to keep it near the top so all users have a chance to vote.
**IMPORTANT**
Please just post a simple yes/no and 1 line of explanation. Let's not turn this thread into a pissing war like all the others. If you see the thread near the bottom of page, respond with a simple "bump" to bring it back to top.

Do me a favor Gambler why don't you copy the thread or post to you that upset you so much... why don't you show the moderator just how evil I can be and all the names I have called you.
This is your chance Gambler show everyone how terrible I have been to you......
By the way there are a few on here and they know who they are that email me to my private email that tell me just to ignore the few on here that like to WHINE AND COMPLAIN but I am not going to let some of you just run your mouth without some proof.
IF I HAVE WRONGED ANY OF YOU SHOW IT OR DROP IT.
If it is really that bad you are free to leave no one is keeping you here.
He adds nothing here, only upsets others.
YOU DONT OFFEND ME AS I DONT READ YOUR THREADS OR OPINIONS...IN YOUR MIND YOUR A GENIOUS AND NO IT ALL.....YOUR ONLY INTERESTED IN YOUR VIEW AND YOUR OPINION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS.....WHEN YOU MAKE RIDICULOUS QUOTES LIKE ..WILL WIN FOR FUN...AND THEY STINK THE TRACK UP YOU DONT RESPECT OTHER PEOPLES VIEWS OR OPINIONS...YOUR A LEGEND IN YOUR OWN MIND..I TOLD ON MY POST SATURDAY I FELT PHIL WAS DAMAGED GOODS AND I ADVISE NOT TO BET A DIME ON THAT HORSE.....I HAVE NUMEROUS POST LIKE THAT THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN COME OUT THE WAY I SAY..IS THAT JUST LUCK.??? YOU COULD LEARN FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME IF YOU JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND PAY ATTENTION...I DONT READ ANYTHING YOU POST AS YOU HAVE ZERO CREDABILITY AS A HANDICAPPER EXCEPT IN YOUR OWN MIND......
Id like to thank all of you for being open handicappers, teachers, friends and advisors.
G-Man - The best pure handicapper I maybe have met, even more so, a good friend
D-Man – About the one person that actually makes me laugh out loud reading print,
a counterpart, a good friend
D.C. – If patience is a virtue than virtue should be your middle name thanks for teaching
me that aspect of the game which is such an important part. I hope always a friend
T-Man – Mr. Persistence thanks for the pride you take on the good and bad days. I hope always a friend.
FB Winners I think Mr. Connection in his own right, Please always keep it up and I hope a good friend also.
Wire to Wire- Mr. business as usual probally the most read posts by me and certainly a lot of respect
Mikeinyc - Hope always a good friend, our handicapping always seems to have so much in common
In the Fog - noisy in a very quiet way. I think another word for that is Respect.
JTC - a lot like me wanting and willing to learn
Tracker – Don’t know what to say yet really but Nice Job
Rayphil – Mr. Consistent, thanks for the great picks
Bbixler – A lot like me I think too weighs all options
And without further Adieu
Draynay!!
Draynay probally my post here will alienate, infuriate, bother, or make plain Laugh Out Loud for some and any of the above is really ok.
To the banning I would say “NO”
Draynay touches a nerve so bad that even in trying to ignore, he touches a nerve so bad that you cant plain ignore and have to comment. I would say “NO” because he brings out the very best and the very worst in everyone of us here. If we didn’t like that challenge you and I would have ignored Draynay a very long time ago. How many of you, like me, went over to bloodhorse to read the banning blog. If its attention Draynay wants, he seems to get it, far from good attention many times but he gets it from every one of us.
to the banning I say “No” because it has always been my option to ignore anyone and that is your option also. HRT is not my site but I sure enjoy coming here each and every day to handicap, socialize, have fun and make friends. That’s my option and don’t feel is my business to make that option for someone else.
I am a expert handicapper. And I run across people like you all the time who think they know more then me. Some know more but still can't pick the right races or the right horses. I have been going to the track since 1969 and I have seen a thousand guys like you angry and bitter.
I have a blast and nothing is more fun then a day at the races... feel free to join my hater list...I find them to be my biggest fans !

THE ONLY race you got right was the 6th with Fabulous Strike at 4 to 5 ! Nice hit... your first choice in every other race LOST. So I guess you were 1 for 7. Hope to see you at Keeneland....lol....
I was hoping that, once confronted, he might choose to turn over a new leaf and become benign (rather than malignant), but it's become increasingly clear that he has no interest in doing that. He gets his kicks out of irritating people, and there's no place for that here as far as i'm concerned. It's simply not nice.
Why don't you post all the mean and evil things I have posted ... and then I will post some of the things Gambler911 has posted.
You have nothing to say about his post ? Nothing ? Threatening to stab someone's eyes is permitted here ?
But Draynay, you cannot provoke people into shouting at you or calling you names, then point your finger at them and talk about how bad their behavior is. It's not like Gamber just started in on you for no reason.
If anyone is interested in becoming a moderator here, and helping out with these situations in the future please e-mail info@horseracingtalk.com.
Thanks,
Edward
