That's funny, i don't remember you debating anything i was wrong about in the past, you're certainly welcome to come into any thread that i'm involved in and have some respectful debate on incorrect facts that i've posted. If i'm not right about something, i won't hold it against you to point out the error of my ways, i'm all for correcting my own mistakes and i would appreciate you discussing these "wrong things" at the time rather than just posting this after the fact about things i was supposedly wrong about. I'm not much into blanket statements that are disparaging to my body of work, feel free to debate point by point at the time of my postings, i'd appreciate that approach rather than just telling me i'm 'generally wrong'.
I don't believe you have to consciously decide to disrespect someone for it to be considered disrespect. I agree with you that tracks aren't sitting around trying to consciously disrespect bettors, but if you take the tapes down and a bettor feels disrespected because of it, who's to tell him he's not really disrespected because it wasn't intentional?
Just be a track, have a product, show the horses, show the races and let people decide for themselves if they want to watch a replay with an accident in the tape or not. If you take them down, it looks like you are hiding something where there's really nothing to hide.
