This is what is wrong with it, it was written purely to annoy and upset people. It was ridiculed because of the spelling (perhaps unfairly) but really OIL!
"Now for all the small mined people who say it was a bad day. how many of you thought it was a bad day when you where shouting for William or when Oil rode such a great round and showed everyone how it should be done? well done Oil! My guess is you didnt think it was a bad day then. If you did then why didnt you bother staying why didnt you get up and leave?"

How do you know it was just to upset people??? Maybe I am being naive but I don't think it was.. Yes OK could have maybe been written a bit more tactfully but....
I read it that what Emac thought was that everyone was getting rather OTT about it because of CAC, and although extremely sad other horses have lost their lives at other events and not so much fuss has been made of the actual event....
I was gutted to hear about CAC but I do feel that what Emac has posted is to a degree very true..... we are all sad when a horse looses its life at an event but it was just an accident. OK in some peoples view it could have been avoided as there were obviously problems with the degree of difficulty asked at EE. But lets all remember the riders didn't have to jump if they thought it was too difficult, there are enough riders that will speak up when things aren't right and Mary King is one who will speak her mind, remember she wouldn't run at Badminton last year because of the ground!!
YES I agree EE obviously didn't work well, and definitely needs to be changed to work, but lets not give up on it straightaway, the idea is good but it needs reviewing not just slammed in to the ground! Emac is right things that are considered great now often had teething problems the first few times they ran...
And YES I think definitely unfairly re the spelling.... who has the right to ridicule people just because they can't spell? My spellling is all over the shop sometimes... especially when I try to type quickly... I'll never make a secretary!!
I am all for asking people NOT to post in text speak but as for someone getting hell cos they can't spell is just rather pathetic!...Does it make those people feel big and good about themselves???.... it is such a shame this thread had to deteriorate in the way it has!!
and really makes me feel rather ashamed to be on this forum if that is what happens....

I am a member of several different forums and I really do not think I have seen anything like what I have on this thread.
Why do you all feel the need to be so nasty? Does it make you feel better to put someone else down?!
Just because the person who started the thread happens to have a different opinion to some of you does not give you any right to start making personal remarks and swearing at them! As for making fun of the condition dyslexia, this was totally unneeded, it is easy when typing to get something wrong or miss read it, am I to take it that you have never done anything wrong in your lives?!
You branded this person a 'troll' before even bothering to look in to what he/she was saying. The poster has obviously a knowledge of the subjects they speak about, a little too much effort for your typical forum 'troll' to go to do you not think?
The different opinion does not make it a wrong one. A debate would have been the most mature, sensible option rather than you all jumping on the band wagon and all being so unpleasant.
I think those this message is aimed at should be ashamed of themselves. From a 'newbies' point of view, if I were you I would be rather embarrassed.
I must say, there is a stereotype that 'horsey' people can be opinionated and stuck up, something which after reading some of your replies I can really see where these stereotypes come from.
I trust my grammar and spelling is suitable to you, I am sure you will not hesitate to inform me if not.

I think it would be better if this thread was closed.
I feel for emac and do think it was a bit mean to go on at the op for the spelling, but I think as well that there were a lot of raw emotions and posting this thread was not really appropriate at the time.

Exactly... we can all say what we think, that's the point of it.
Your original post, whether you intended it to or not, was quite offensive about other members of the audience at EE, and pretty disrespectful about the loss of Cavi. You came across as rather disregarding the opinions of others, too, imho.
Genuine dyslexics I sympathise with - I realise that it is very frustrating and makes life difficult. However, spellcheckers exist, and all the dyslexics I know use them religiously. Dyslexia is not an excuse for laziness - there is a big difference imho.

here here....................................
and then thread went very 'lateral' it was very, very funny IMO cos i enjoyed the ALLO ALLO theme....
The problem with written word threads/forums, is you do have to be very careful how you explain your point view, and everybodies point is welcomed. BUT remember, if not correctly written or the point of view is not coherently explained. IT CAN and will be taken and read another way, as folks on here are NOT mind readers............
and if things are not written in this manor, these are why IMO 'threads' can go skywards and people pull up sofas get a coffee and see where it goes............
I remind myself this way, it's like a 'debating society at uni'

"in this manor", gosh, how very posh you must be.
or do you mean "in this manner"..?
absolutely agree, btw! 'tone' just does not come across on here, and when I read something that has no punctuation to speak off, lots of spelling mistakes, and comes across to me as so disrespectful about what happened to Cavi (and I am one of thousands who are still very upset about that), I will have a bit of a go about it (or assume it's a troll at work... or cover all my bases and do both!)

As I was one of these mean posters (
) I feel that I should say something but as always kerilli as voiced what I wanted to say much better then I could put it
Emac, go back and read your original post objectively - you were offensive to people who went to EE and who commented on it here and you seemed to dismiss the horrid accident that lead to Cavy's death lightly - emotions were already running high on here about it which you would have easily seen by the number of various other posts here so perhaps you could have timed and worded your thread better. As for contiuing to be rude and spiteful - the Ello Ello comments and jokes (where I believe both JM07 and Scoopy took the mick out of themselves) were there to make the thread banter more lighthearted and to take away from the bad feeling towards emac
