Grrrrr some of u make me angry!

[Hosscrazy]

There are quite a few of us who have been on the forum for a long time. And there are quite a few people here who have invaluable experience and knowledge.

If you are asking for someone's opinion, it may be a good idea to hear what they have to say. If you are asking for validation, then perhaps "asking for an opinion" may not be the right question to ask.

The alternative to posting an opinion is to chose not to respond, which many of us did (myself included). So what you end up with is a thread with no responses, which really defeats the purpose.

He is taking a break, calm down people. Just give him his time, he will be okay and will get over it ..come back happy and refreshed!

As for the youth getting flamed on this board, they do get flamed. I've just learned to blow it off and go on with life. There is one or two people on here who i think is just mean spirited ..period!. But i move on and get over it, im hurt very easy and get worked up REALLY fast but i move on and get over it. I have found over the past months that this board is worse then watching CNN sometimes. But we all move on, were all mature adults here.

I feel so many on here do have the best intensions of there horses in mind, they all do. Who would be on this forum if they didnt, god knows my angels come before me everyday. They eat before me, get cleaned before me, get loved on before anyone i know. Thats just how i make it and where i put them, first.

Now i am 17, and like some other younger people on this forum about to reach adulthood ....i have realized that. We all realize sometime, it takes time and commitment but we all reach it. We all must grow up sometime, i know i've grown up more in the past week or two then my whole life. As much as i hate to hear some things on here, i still listen. There is a person or two though that like i said, i refuse to listen to because i have my own thoughts of that person ...but i listen to everyone.

What i think got him was, he wasnt asking for someone opinion ..he was sharing something. There are just some people in this world though that could not help but be sour and highly rude in this world though. However, thank god for the others!

I learn more and more everyday. I am new to Mini horses/Ponies. Most my knowlege is in QB and Thoroughbreds, racing ext ...which i am not really interested in, this was all shoved into me head from multiple people in that area. I am trying to soak up all the knowlege i can in this breed because i finially found something i love and could not live without now!

He will be back, give him time people

P.S. - ASHLEY.....Being an old fart isn't such a bad thing.
Old Foginess has it's advantages such as being eccentric is tolerated and/or amusing. Embarrassing our kids is a sacred responsibility of parents that helps develop their character...and we're allowed to have doing it! 

Well haveing kids isnt in my book so i will have to take your word for that. However I do have equally as much fun embarassing my mom as she does me.

Hey Ashley.....

Until I was 33 and the biological clock went off with no SNOOZE button, I was of the firm opinion there should be CHILDREN/NO CHILDREN sections of restaurants!

I'm willing to wager that by the time you hit your mid-30's, we'll be seeing lots of baby photos on the back porch....ala Ashley!

When you post on a message board - you expect to get replies. If you do not want an opinion contrary to yours - you say so. But many posters were alarmed about the height that was being jumped - as someone noted - 4 feet is getting up there even for a big horse when you start hunters at 2' .... 2' 6"... so to expect that everyone will be excited and cheering for what essentially would be a mini jumping almost a puissance height... is unrealistic. That is NOT how a message board works. A message board is made up of different people and different opinions... and good netiquette always says that you can refer to the POST but not the POSTER...

Trouble starts when someone blows off some advice or concern - the I know better than you do so shut up kind of thing - and some of the younger members here have that down to a fine art at times...

... and then we hear the complaints about being picked on for being young.... which is NOT the case.

People were concerned for the horse - and said so. Maybe not always in the best way - but their hearts were in the right place...

Another message board hint... dramatic exits get very ho-hum... as 9.75 times out of 10, the one who exited with a flourish always comes back....

Good grief no matter how long of a break one takes from this forum it's just like a soap opera, nothing changes. You can pick up the story line just as if you never left.

Ritz if you don't want to deal with those who regularly post things that irritate you there is one very simple solution. Put them on your ignore list. You can find it in the My Controls area and it works like a charm. There will always be a few on any forum who will never have a single positive thing to say to you. You can't make negative people think otherwise so the best you can do is focus on the good and learn from those who you think really have your best interest at heart.

i will go ahead and keep my mouth half way shut on this one.

i think its good for whoever feels like taking a break tro take one so you (this is from experience) you don't blow up at school or someplace like i blew up once really bad and got in school suspension(sp?)

i have one more word to someone and please dont take offense(sp?)

franklin- people make mistakes you know!! no one can be perfect
