Richard Hills – Entifaahda

Pinza, as a casual reader of this forum from time to time, and having read various posts of yours on a variety of issues, one cannot help but arrive at the conclusion that you come accross as incredibly pompous. Every reply conveys this air of superiority ; like one has such knowledge that it entitles him to rather belittle opinions of others. The consistent arrogance shown in your posts really really doesn’t do you any favours. You may or may not have excellent racing knowledge, but you don’t need to convey knowledge through such tedious and self-proclaimed brilliance.

As a "

Casual Reader

" claiming to make your first post (though analysis of your grammatical solecisms suggest someone rather more familiar) this seems a strangely personal attack, whoever you might be. Welcome! although your post seems to have nothing to contribute to the meat of the thread.

Like one or two other people on this Forum, you call articulacy "

pomposity

", and accuse me of a "

superiority

" which I do not feel for one moment. I’m sorry if you don’t like words or ideas, or quotations from our Great British Poets, and believe that those who indulge in such things are "

arrogant

" – I happen to

like

ideas, and do my best to express them as cogently (or "

brilliantly

"!) as I can. And if the

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

comes to mind, I give it tongue.

I’m sorry if that gives you offence, Sir, or makes you feel small. Work on it. Meanwhile your personal comments are, of course, H2O off the proverbial Canard’s Vertebrae.

The reply given really sums up what i meant. "(though analysis of your grammatical solecisms suggest someone rather more familiar)" ; really not sure what this has to do with anything, or what you attempting to imply.

I have no issue with someone if they wish to convey there thoughts in an articulate and well reasoned fashion. What i object to, are phrases like "I’m sorry if you don’t like words or ideas". What is this supposed to mean? Implying that i, or others, are inferior to yourself? You happen to like ideas. How fantastic, how intellectual and how blessed we are to have encountered somebody who likes ideas. Attempting to converse in what you conceptualise as being articulate and your apparent love of "fanciful and clever" phrases doesn’t mean you "like ideas" (a pompeous remark in itself) or have greater intelligence than other poster in this thread.

Make me feel? Im sitting on a chair infront of my laptop, so if you wish, yes im small.

Leaving aside several things in this paragraph which deviate from the Queen’s English, it’s "

pompous

", not "

pompeous

". And if you find "

liking ideas

" pompous then you really do need to work on it!

Now, dear boy… if you wish to continue to catechise me instead of commenting on

Richard Hills’s ride on

Entifaahda

– which is, oddly enough, the subject of this thread – I suggest you go to the

Lounge

and start a thread on

The Pomps of Pinza

(although I fear I won’t be joining you, as I’ve got deadlines to meet this evening and need to earn my crust).

Farewell,

muchacho

Yes, im so glad you take it upon yourself to embark on a crusade for the Queen’s english. How kind and noble of you. Without you, im sure we’d all be a rabble of people discussing horse racing in a fashion where we cannot understanding each other, because our primitive english is so bad. What does liking ideas even mean? Do you even understand what it means? If you think it means being able to quote something which you feel the other poster does not understand, then yes, by god, you like ideas. Pretty pathetic that seem to think you like "ideas" more than other people, whatever your likely dilusional concept of ideas might be.

I also find it humerous that you suddenly wish to direct the thread back to its original purpose ; from the catechise of somebody (yourself), when you were so content to deviate from the thread topic to catechise another poster in the first place. Interesting.

Have to agree with Pinza,if you’re complimenting the betfair forums and the discussion found there you really should take a good hard look at yourself, i’d say 95% of the jockey talk there is absolute nonsense!

Every 15 minutes there’s a new thread started about how such and such is useless because they didn’t get the horse up when it’s apparent to most of the rational world that the best horse won.

I used to frequent that forum but when i found Trf it was so refreshing to hear actual racing talk from horse racing fans and punters a lot of whom know a lot more about the game than myself in comparison to the betfair forums where every1 sounds like a 17 year old kid that just backs every favourite purely because the horse is the favourite and then blames the jock!

This is true on quite some of the threads. Im just curious on why they have such a good rating.
