No way to keep them off a public board. That was the main reason many of us were happy to be invited to this board where at least we weren't subject to such invasions. There are many topics of interest that are discussed here, some interest me, some don't and I suspect everyone can say the same. My question is why bother with what folks on another board are saying? Does it seem off the wall that folks are responding to a horse? Sure, but so what?

Maybe you are impowered with the ability to judge others and decide what folks deserve...I just don't see what is gained except giving some folks a warm fuzzy by thinking they are better than those who act differently. If that is the purpose then I guess that's fine.

It's funny that people talk to a horse online as if she is really responding. That's it.

Now that you mention it....yeah, I do feel empowered to determine what treatment others deserve from me. Who else would decide such a thing?
Do I think I'm "better" than some of the people posting on that site? Yes, yes I do.

Seems funny to me, I simply state my opinion and because you disagree, I'm acting like I'm "special, enlightened" while you state your opinion and that's somehow different. Also, who is the arrogant one here? Me or you for thinking you speak for the entire board...might surprise you to know there are actually some folks here who agree with me. But then, it's easier to dismiss someone with personal comments than to respond to what they post

Probably the person who is basically saying:

I'm better than all of you because you keep acting like you're better than all of them.

And how exactly do I do that? By simply stating my opinion which often times is different than those who deem it necessary to respond with personal attacks. My opinions are no better or worse than the next guy's... because I may see something differently than somebody else doesn't make me act like I'm somehow "better".

OMG, I’m so sorry Zenniegirl. It wasn’t in the stars. I will light some candles for you and set up a prayer virgil. I will fast until you become with child. The lord who took BARBARO away from us is sometimes unjust, but he works in strange ways. Now, I believe that BARBARO was meant to be the horsie-husband of Zennie. Why else would he take away this foal. Bernardi was the winner in the Preekness, ONLY because BARBARO lost his life under suspicious cirscumstances. The Mooses should breed Zennie to LENTENOR or NICANOR, then she would be in foal immediately. This needs to be done.
