I've heard some rather disturbing news. Actually, it's more confusing than disturbing. I've heard that a rabidly anti-racing group, one with a well deserved reputation of stabbing people in the back, is now saying they are no longer AR? What? As of 2 days ago, this group was still spouting Grey2K rhetoric. One of their members, Eric, is on the BOD of Grey2K and he was touting the company line as recently as several hours ago.
Then, Rory says, "The last few weeks I've seen something I've never seen, people coming together and fighting the good fight, we've put aside our differences for the common good (the dogs) and we've waged a great fight against Grey2K. I personally believe Judy wants something and what better gift to give Grey2K than us battling each other again and leaving Grey2K alone."
He's got a definite point there and as is known, Judy is bosom buddies with Christine Dorchak.

I'm sorry, but a leopard doesn't change its spots overnight, let alone after nearly 18 years of AR activities. Actions speak louder than words and I've not seen any actions to support their statements that they are "reformed" and have "seen the light". Sorry Charlie....
You know, if you dance with the devil, you may wind up in hell. I suspect them not getting dogs is their hell.
Karma's a bitch... it always comes back to bite one in the a$$.
Yours in greyhounds...
Probably should mention here that nobody ever said (as far as I'm aware) that they'd suddenly abandon their AR status, and since the conversation wasn't made public, we'll never really know what all was proposed. My understanding is that a truce of sorts was offered up, in that there would be a dramatic decrease in personal attacks on internet comments boards. Of course, that didn't exactly materialize either, as we can see in the above screenshot.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find really distressing is that they (the GCNM folks) chose to step up the volume when we (in the pro racing community) just flat didn't believe their "truce" was sincere. Indeed, they selected their favorite target individual and slammed her repeatedly (by name) on their FaceBook page, after deleting every morsel of pro-racing dialogue from it.
And you know what? Their aim is off. The lady they're attacking didn't influence us to disbelieve them at all. We are free-thinkers, and decided it all by ourselves.
Golly, what a concept.

Very true. The fallback or "plan B" was obviously to blame anyone who didn't believe that there was ever going to be a "Jesus moment" in the first place. So they isolate one individual, demonize and blame the rigidity of their own ideology on her, hoping to cause a rift so they might divide and conquer.
ReplyDeleteNo one has to express contempt for anyone or anything, to advocate for adoption, or to do adoptions. That is a decision they make of their own free will---to loathe, to condemn, to stereotype, and to essentially cast every single person who participates in or supports racing as Ronnie Williams.
They've had they media bully pulpit for so long, they think they can do or say anything at all and it will be believed and taken as gospel, without even a whimper of dissent. You can almost smell the flop sweat of desperation, as they feel just a little of the pressure they're going to feel as the days unfold. They're all going to be "vetted", whether they like it or not.
