- or should that be flak? I have had enough. There are peole who come on this site under different names just to give others grief - especially, it seems me. I would have liked to have seen people with something constructive to say having intelligent discussions about issues affecting showing and showing people. Instead it is a forum for every nasty person to have a bit*h - and quite frankly it has spoiled showing for me. I am working towards giving up showing and handing over to my daughter because in fact none of you know but I have a serious illness and do not know how much longer I can continue with my ponies. I ask you all, as a parting shot to think before you are so hateful. You never know what damage you are causing.

I really enjoy your posts and know that, through cyber space, your comments and those of other kind people have often helped me or made me laugh - its harder to let things roll off when you are feeling so unwell. Have a good Easter!

Featherston you should take it as a compliment as obviously certain anonymous posters must be very jealous of you and your ponies, I wish you well and I too have always enjoyed your posts!

Well I think you should stay, I for one enjoy your posts. some people have nothing better to do than slate those who do well, it comes from them doing cr*p, little unimportant know it alls, whos lack of knowledge never fails to amuse me. If I was you I would hang around just to wind them up, after all it does give there infentile brains some work when they use a keyboard. And to be honest I think I would rather they come on here than be out there doing some poor equine harm.

I`m only a lurker but I really enjoy your posts fetherston. In fact, yours are the first ones I click on!
These nasties are everywhere aren`t they. Mean spirited and cowardly individuals and probably poor achievers in the ring. And as princess says, doubtless jealous of you too.
I don`t blame you for wanting to leave - but I wish you wouldn`t!

Fetherston when i logged on and read your post I was gobsmacked and could not work out what I had missed BUT I knew where to look, I am so sorry that some no mark has been so rude to such a genuine question. I agree with all the above posts please don't give up on everyone, I too love to read your posts, the funny ones and the informative ones, you are clearly and experienced person yet still as we all should ask advice when needed, for the welfare of your ponies. I hope you have a good easter and please ignore these people.

Hey!... fetherson dont worry about the odd few who spiol it for the rest of us we see people at shows and have for years, if you say hello they just snub you they are ill bred, hold your head up high and ognore the idiots in the horse world, who never make it in the real world anyway and are are normally the one scrapping around to make ends meet.

featherston is a lovely lady having met her (mares class at solihul last yr) she loves all her ponies and doesnt deserve all the flak she has got on this site, maybe all you guests who feel the need to slag her off are jealous because she has beaten you, dont give up featherston im sure we will meet again at some shows this year

It will be a crying shame if you leave here, you posts are intelligent and more often than not make me laugh - though I dont suppose they do you. I think you have a lot of valid things to imput but there are always some who find it neccesary to be unpleasant and always under a guests status. Ignore it, their whole lives must be very unhappy and they are insecure otherwise they would'nt find it neccessary to be so rude to others.

Can't the administrators stop guests making posts and make it that you have to register??
I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech, I'm a "lurker" on here and only came across the site by accident.
I have found from reading many of the topics and posts that people are very quick to say judges are "facey" or to be very rude about ponies.
Wouldn't it be better if people were to give constructive opinions and we could have grown up conversations. I for one like to know what people think of my ponies, my riding, in fact anything which can help improve my horsemanship.
Think I'm going to get registered on here now!!

We have had this discussion before and ran a poll regards making the site registered users only. The poll was aimed at all users of the site and all were welcome to vote. Guests were welcome to post in the thread with their own views on the matter. The vote and consciences of opinion was to leave it as it was so that guests could post as well. As much as the administrators would like it to be a registered user site only we have left it as is due to demand. Yes you do get most of the hassle from people posting as guests, but we also have sensible guests that contribute a lot of sensible posts.

Fetherston - I will be sorry if you leave as I too enjoy your posts. I think on a site such as this we have to accept that posts will be made that are rather close to the bone, but the moderators are here to be PMd by members if they are unhappy with particular posts.
As Admin has said, we did have a poll about permitting guests to post and it has remained open to guests in response.
Sorry you are suffering health-wise, I hope it is something that you will recover from and feel better before too long.

Post by Do you look on Apr 7, 2007 18:24:27 GMT
Hi Fetherston, are you going to come back as a Guest? I'm too scared to become a member, in case the Powers That Be look to see who I am. And I'm a nobody! Do you look?

Fetherston you're sound! Keep posting. Some of us stay anon as we share a computer. We got a friend banned a few weeks back... she'd gone to pick up the chinese take-awy and we sat back and played on her pc. taking the mick out of the posts. She's still wondering what happened. Sssshhh!

Thats a shame Featherston hope you change your mind.
The word on other forums is that you haven't made it until you have been slagged off on here. That must mean you are worrying someone.
Hope your feeling better too

I can understand where you are coming from as I hardly ever post on this site now because of what you have said, and really only read the posts now and sit on my hands.

Post by hurtful comments on Apr 7, 2007 19:40:44 GMT
I must say this forum is by far the bit**iest out of them all, it should be a place to make friends and to be able to get advise.
It seems to me that everytime somebody has something nice to see there is somebody straight away to slate them and nobody can give any yard or producer credit.
I have had some very nasty comments posted on this forum and some others by featherstone which reduced me to tears, it is very heartful to read slanderous comments about yourself I agree, this is why this should all stop. You shouldnt be so offensive to people, if you want to give advise people are greatful to receive it but to be virbally agreesive for everyone in showing to read shouldnt be allowed.
I have put my comments on here for you to read. I have written the truth i am not on here to stir up trouble.
I refuse to become a member on here becuase every topic on here turns bitc** so I prefer to be on sites wheer i can say i have met true friends which i have even met up with at shows.
Maybe this is a lesson to alot of people on here.
Lets stop the back stabbing in showing
