I really am making a conscio...CCC, LOL...thank you. I really am making a conscious effort to cut down on the copy and paste. ;)<br /><br />I truly, honestly appreciate your observations and I am thankful you feel that you can discuss them with me. <b>That</b>'s what I really think these blogs should have more of when folks disagree. Either respectfully let the party with whom you are discussing something know how and why you disagree, or agree to disagree and be nice about it. I myself am guilty, more times than I would like to admit, of not doing so. But I have vowed to work harder on that, too.<br /><br />As for on FHOTD...<br /><br />More than likely, all I can figure in hindsight is that I reacted out of anger in the beginning, and because of the obvious tension of the situation (that has, as I've mentioned, been ongoing for 1.5 years now) I blew my lid. I had to take quite a few deep breaths before responding in the first place, to the first post, though I think I failed miserably. But the background just prior to that, I had been harassed via email by one of these persons for several hours on Sunday, and I was at my limit of tolerance. That and several phone calls from them. My landlady being harassed by them, too. And a call from my mother, who is tired of being harassed by these people herself.<br /><br />I should have done as you say, and simply posted a contrite note saying I refuse to sink to their level, or something of that nature. This morning, when the most recent attack (posted last night on FHOTD's newest entry) came through to me this morning, I chose not to reply. Oh, I could go into detail regarding that comment, but that would be allowing myself to be dragged back into that nasty, disgusting mud.<br /><br />I am a better person than that. :) And I know I have more to offer than arguing with the likes of these people.<br /><br />Again...thanks. You're very good at helping me to be more grounded.SFTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155830531219245152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-28627652068882076122009-06-18T08:26:05.516-07:002009-06-18T08:26:05.516-07:00Like Dena (Hell, I never thought I would say that....Like Dena (Hell, I never thought I would say <b>that</b>...), the "issues" brought forth surrounding my life were not brought forward by me. As Dena did on several forums from last Fall through this year, I have only sought to refute the nonsense perpetuated by individuals who have an axe to grind.<br /><br />But there is one striking difference.<br /><br />Dena's "issues" were self created. Mine came about because two people who both are angry at me for reasons I have outlined, in detail (and would be more than happy to do so further, if requested, in order to get further into the real truth of these matters), have decided to go on a campaign of ruining my life. <br /><br />Dena says that had she not done drugs, much of what happened in her life would not have happened.<br /><br />Likewise, had I not blindly trusted a couple of people, none of this would have happened in mine. I, too, live with the knowledge that it was, indeed, my own fault. I am too trusting. Always have been. Hopefully I have learned a valuable lesson, who to trust and who not to trust. Who I can open up to, who I can count on, and who I cannot. Who is truly, honestly a friend. But anymore, I really don't trust my judgment in that area.<br /><br />My life has value as well. And oh yes, I have made plenty of mistakes. I freely admit them, and hope to learn from them. I also have never, ever chosen to "play the victim" in proceeding on with my life. I have never assumed the role of victim, though I have had some folks tell me I have been brutally victimized. It just isn't me.<br /><br />We choose to move forward, not live in the past. Though, we are prepared to do what we need to do in order to secure our future. If that means taking action to prevent further harm to myself, my family and my business, that is indeed what we shall pursue.<br /><br />To Dena ~ making assumptions about someone you do not know, based on the fact that you have chosen not to like them as a person from internet postings (regardless of your assertions to the contrary) and based on what one or two nameless, faceless people have told you which seem to fit into your vision of the person you have chosen to dislike, shows very poor taste and judgment on your part.<br /><br />I do apologize for the nastiness that ensued last weekend. I took some shots at you that were unfair. I regret that. I would much rather be able to deal with contentious issues, including differences about training horses (and we ALL have differences...it's like feeding horses, ask 100 different people and you'll likely get 100 different answers), without having to get nasty and mean.SFTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155830531219245152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-76312723854698774242009-06-18T08:12:38.847-07:002009-06-18T08:12:38.847-07:00SFTS:

Just joshin with you.<br /><br />Yes, alot of people do C & P, but not practically every time and every word of the comment you are responding to. It just makes a difficult read and I think alot of what is good info gets lost in all of that.<br /><br />To me it just seems that there used to be more of your personality and humor in your comments before. It just feels lecturey now, and like reading a textbook. You did make a comment I believe on this topic before the shist hit the fan that was funny and I thought I wished you would be that way more often. <br /><br />As far as the posting of your troubles on FHOTD, everyone has a reason for what they do. I will respect that you had yours for doing that. I can also respect that you needed to respond to those other posters when they attacked you, I would have done the same thing. However, my response would have been a brief statement that what they were saying was lies and that I refuse to waste anymore time on them because they aren't worth it. Arguing back and forth gets you no where and ultimately erodes your credibility.<br /><br />Anyway, these are just my observations.CharlesCityCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322605385748323962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-57138703576842424542009-06-18T07:56:51.108-07:002009-06-18T07:56:51.108-07:00I am not going to dwell on this nor be sucked back...I am not going to dwell on this nor be sucked back in.<br /><br />Having lived through it I certainly would not wish harm on another victim or orchestrate it.<br /><br />If you are not believable the end result is that you will not be believed.<br />That applies to all without any result of discrimination.<br /><br />Divide and conquer isn't going to work well here.<br /><br />There are some harsh realities of life that apply to us all.<br /><br />Had I never done drugs much of what happened in my life would not have.<br />Simple as that.<br />I live with that knowledge every single day of my life.<br /><br />Same as, I live with the knowledge that I cannot undo what has already been done.<br /><br />Now and for quite some time my choice is simply what do I do with the rest of my life?<br /><br />My life has value. My mistakes have played a part in defining who I am. What I have learned from those mistakes.<br />How I choose to proceed.<br /><br />Being a victim of your own poor choices does not a quality life yield has been my experience.<br /><br />To be a victim is to be powerless. Miserable way to go if you ask me.<br /><br />To change that somewhere along the line it has to stop being everyone else's fault.<br /><br />And as I believe I have covered everything that needs to be covered that is all I have to say about that.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169193080215723583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-37187324022828537032009-06-18T07:12:52.387-07:002009-06-18T07:12:52.387-07:00CCC, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to ...CCC, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to express how you feel. I honestly do appreciate hearing others' take and I do consider those feelings and opinions. Particularly if they come from someone who's genuine ~ and I have no reason to believe you are not. I've had respect for your views and appreciated your input and insight before you left the FHOTD blog.<br /><br />You know, I went back and re-read through a lot of my early comments on FHOTD from January on, and what I found was nothing has really changed about how I respond and post. From my very first comment, on the Cleve Wells post, I copied and pasted what I wanted to respond to. In skimming, I noticed a lot of folks do the same. However, I admit I probably take that to the extreme, more than likely because of the volume of things I feel compelled to reply to or discuss.<br /><br />Then I noted you not so much challenging me, but it seemed more to try keeping me grounded ~ yours were some of the comments I found to be level headed and full of common sense. We talked about draw reins, you mentioned having used them. I have been crucified here and at FHOTD for that, particularly by Dena, who claimed those of us who do and have used them are "slackers". And ultimately came the Dream Chasers fiasco, and the return of "4sam". Remember, I was one who was right there with you, defending the fact that some people DO change. I also recalled that you were "disturbed" by CnJ and JR (went so far as to tell him he had a "mean streak" in relation to Dena).<br /><br />I have saved my comments to these blogs via email, since the beginning. Some would ask why. I ask, why not? Future reference, to go back and be able to pull something I said ~ and it comes in handy if someone misquotes me. :) Hence being able to go back through and discern any changes in my 'style' or 'delivery'. :)<br /><br />I am truly sorry you feel that I have, and I'm further sorry that any of this has made you feel like skipping my comments. I really do try add something valuable to the discussion, no matter where.<br /><br />As for the personal issues, I chose to post as I did, because I have nothing to hide. I am not perfect, none of us are. Never have I claimed to be. However, I do my level best and I try to do right by everyone.<br /><br />That said, there are three VERY disturbed people, who do live right here, in this small town, where my family resides and nearby where I operate my business. I have been stalked, followed home, harassed, I have had clients called trying to dig dirt on me, slandered to those clients (who have all chosen to ignore the rabid rantings of these twisted people) and these people have even called my mother in Colorado to tell wild stories about me and tell her I should have my daughter taken away from me. They have called my veterinarian, blasting me. They have called various authorities, and harassed my landlady in an effort to have me evicted from my home. It goes on and on.<br /><br />I asked a couple of others who wisely told me I might consider refraining from answering, what would you do? Attacked by anonymous people making up various alter identities in order to flame and defame you? By people who are sick and obsessed, who's life goal has become to ruin your life? The only thing I know, is to answer any questions and refute any lies. But I am weary of it.<br /><br />It's gotten to the point that I do not DARE advertise the facility I am working out of, for fear these insane people will barrage the dear, wonderful folks who own said facility with these vicious lies, and cause my family even more trauma than we have already been through.<br /><br />But you know what I find most incredible, particularly about what has spilled over onto this blog? How Dena herself eloquently spoke about how horrible the "being featured on FHOTD twice" experience was for her and her family. She spoke of the people calling her, harassing her, of people who did things in *real life*, to her and her family, coming by her home and so forth. Yet, she seems to want to perpetuate similar on my family.<br /><br />I am sorry this is so long winded.SFTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155830531219245152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-67402010139162143662009-06-17T20:44:23.062-07:002009-06-17T20:44:23.062-07:00JR

But he is right.<br />I would send a private email but that would just create more conspiracy theories.<br /><br />SFTS is overlooking one glaring inconsistency with her treatment as compared to mine.<br />My information was brought here by someone other than myself.<br /><br />I was featured. In a very negative light. I did not even know fhotd existed before I became a feature.<br /><br />I wasn't really fighting just solely for the purpose of irritating everyone who said hurtful things about me.<br /><br />Although there were occasions I did regress to that.<br /><br />Mostly, I wasn't willing to be defined by a group of people who didn't know me from Adam.<br />And I really did not want to think that the world was that ugly.<br />I would have never left the house again. Kind of not kidding.<br /><br />SFTS is fighting herself and situations she has created herself by trying to force us to acknowledge her perception of herself.<br />Because then in her mind it WILL be true.<br /><br />Some people become ill because the world can be such an ugly place.<br />Others become ill because they live in such an ugly place.<br />And some people just are.<br /><br />In this case, I would say it does not matter, as it simply is.<br /><br />She isn't going to go away unless JR forces the issue. Which he has made clear he isn't going to do.<br />I presume because he already knows that if he did there would just be a surfeit of new SNs and negative interference.<br /><br />We really should stop playing with it though no matter how persistently irritating it may be.<br />It just makes us look bad.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169193080215723583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-89948828988915609972009-06-17T19:40:23.194-07:002009-06-17T19:40:23.194-07:00JR:

LOL<br /><br />I had wanted to address some comments to SFTS last PM but she had turned ugly, so I did refrain. <br /><br />I have decided to give it a try, not that I will be anymore successful than anyone else.<br /><br />SFTS, I remember way back when you first started on FHOTD (long before the cut and paste addiction started), I enjoyed reading your comments. After some time, you became the "Lecture Professor Queen." When I was in college, my Professors would stand up on a stage with an overhead projector, and a grease pencil and a microphone. That Professor would drone on and on and make notes on that screen. Guess who you remind me of?<br /><br />I do not come to these blogs to be lectured by someone I do not even know, someone who has no proof that they ride better than I do, someone who I am not paying to train me or my horses.<br /><br />You need to readjust your presentation, drop the cut and paste, we are intelligent people, we are capable of remembering what you might be referring to. Remember, you are addressing us, so what matters is how you present to us, not what makes it easy for you. You are supposed to be a trainer/teacher, your skills are supposed to be developed to what works for your students, not what works best for you.<br /><br /><br />I am not going to get into your squabbles with those other myriad of posters who have problems with you, frankly, with the tragic things happening in my life right now, they are meaningless.<br /><br />Frankly, why you would chose to discuss that much detail of your troubles on a blog such as FHOTD, I can't understand. That is like dumping a bucket of chum over the side of a boat to invite a feeding frenzy of sharks.CharlesCityCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322605385748323962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-82228052272651157332009-06-17T17:03:19.130-07:002009-06-17T17:03:19.130-07:00Yikes.

So next time I see somebody asking about possums in a horse-related way, I'll know what they are getting at!PrairieFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368990294233409565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-73838902926446266292009-06-16T23:46:51.515-07:002009-06-16T23:46:51.515-07:00If you haven't seen it or dealt with it, it is...If you haven't seen it or dealt with it, it is unlikely you'd know about PF.

Luckily we don't have too many at least where I have my horses. <br />Totally OT - but hatched 6 baby duckling today. Chocolate Runners. So freakin cute. Mama duck bit me - twice - when we were moving her and babies to a safer spot!<br />And rode my no lateral flexion (high headed) mare today. I do believe she is getting better! She is much more relaxed and therefore, so am I! Using your tips JR, thanks again.PrairieFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368990294233409565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916222985378902903.post-50045025889441662472009-06-16T21:56:41.897-07:002009-06-16T21:56:41.897-07:00Keep us posted!Keep us posted!JohnieRottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556383138019987399noreply@blogger.com
