Location: Where I am happiest | Â I think anytime it's someone well known they are going to draw alot of attention so when something comes out naturally everyone is going to want to discuss it. Alot of people put winners in the arena on pedestals so when they are found out to be shady or dysfunctional of course it's going to be big news. I think it's good to be able to discuss things and often times helpful information. Is it hearsay or fact? As far as the arena hoodrat goes, she put herself out there and posted the videos all on her own. If your going to flaunt your classless dysfunction in front of the world, then expect the world to react. Kind of like Avanetti. His getting arrested or his shady financial woes wouldn't be news at all if he wasn't a household name. |

 That hot mess needed called out. If said minor’s parents don’t want her discussed publicly then don’t let her on social media.  She’s not mature enough to handle  using it correctly or dealing with fallout from a mistake.  Neither are my kids around her age (10 and 13). It’s why I don’t allow them access to that stuff.  The fact that dad defended her behavior is telling tho.  Apology and discipline would have been more appropriate. And yep, I’m totally judging. It’s called discernment.Â
Agree with you, Three 4 Luck.
I realize I'm mostly just a lurker here. (As evidenced by the fact that I barely have 700 posts in severl years.....lol). But I genuinely enjoy this forum. I don't hang around on most online forums long because they become truly hateful/sptiful/mean and I'm not interested in reading anymore. Not here. Sure, I've seen disagreements, especially when politics are involved, but I've yet to see something completely out of hand....the moderators do a good job.
If the thread was frozen the other day because we were just beating a dead horse (like someone else mentioned earlier), I can totally see that. The discussion really wasn't productive anymore. But I do think that issue discussed needed to be brought to light because it casts a really negative light on the industry. Had the parents not defended her, I'd say we needed to let it be. But they did, and they allowed her to post publicly for all to see, and there are consequences to that.
Had we been attacking the child, I'd say that's a no go. But from what I remember, most comments were going after the parents for failing the child.

If you don’t like a topic, then don’t read or post in it. Simple as that. Doesn’t mean the political stuff has to go. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Like I said she’s a troll. Ironic how she decries politics on this forum yet every one of her posts has been of a political nature. Not one single post about anything other than to lambaste or lampoon conservatives. Then she turns around and has the audacity to suggest posts ought to be limited to horses and barrel racing.
I predict now she will make an occasional post about barrel racing just to blend in better.
Even her political posts steer clear of specific issues like taxes, social security, sanctuary cities, etc.... She’s only here for one reason.

Good grief, yes! Don't like the topic, don't read it. It's really not rocket science.  |

Oh, it’s not that I don’t enjoy the political repartee, it’s great fun, hilarious actually. But in my view a horse forum is better served with topics about horses, less divisive, productive of better, more positive states of mind. That’s part of what horses do for us. |

You really don’t understand. I most certainly do not wish to “blend in” with persons who espouse your political viewpoints. I oppose them. Further, fortunately it is not up to you how I enjoy this forum. As I said before, the horse topics I read with great pleasure, very little to add there. It is also with great pleasure I express my opinions in opposition to political posts I find objectionable. There is no shortage of sarcasm and vilification in many of these posts, one of which suggested the remedy for liberals was “hot lead.” That no one in that particular thread seemed alarmed by this speaks volumes. So if my responses are satirical and pointed, well too bad. If you don’t like what I have to say, “don’t read it.” .....good for the goose, good for the gander....
Curious though: what do you fantasize is “the one reason” I am here for? Just to trigger you? Fun as that may be, it is not my central purpose at all. I happen to love horses. Do you? |

Really seems to have become "active" in some horse threads in the past couple of days. . . . |

But I fail to mention: my view on 1.) taxes: the top 1% , including corporations should have their taxes increased, not decreased. Our deficit is now higher than ever thanks to Trump and the complicit republican controlled congress. The middle class and the poor deserve a break not these wealth hoarding bastards. 2.) Sanctuary cities are merely a stop gap against the lawlessness and brutality of ICE. Illegal immigration must be addressed and curtailed, no question. But a border wall is a stupid, political stunt destined to fail. I am not trained in this area to have an opinion regarding the best remedy. But we have laws right now in regard to people seeking asylum that are being broken by the current “policy.” Hence the problems at the border right now. Trump’s stupid fear mongering border stunts have made things worse. Perhaps a coherent foreign labor policy would go along ways toward providing workers where needed, but not necessarily citizenship.
3.) SSA should not be plundered. It belongs to the citizens who earned it and is not an “entitlement.
4.) Rational gun control must be instituted. The NRA has more to do with profits than a contemporary interpretation of the 2nd Amnendment that protects citizenry.
I would be very interested to learn YOUR responses. Less interested in slogans from some right wing hate rally. |
