Oy, you with the arthritic mare ......

The energy with which you continually battle your original stance is mind blowing and I don't mean this thread.

I know exactly what you mean mongoose, the determination is incredible.

Can I ask you both, though it has sod all to do with this thread, why you expect me to change my opinion about, for example, polo, when nobody has given me any sensible coherent argument to convince me to do so? Why do you seem to consider it a personality flaw not to accept arguments in which you can see no merit, and neither can others, but to stick to one's guns? I have modified my opinions many times over the years on this forum, but obviously not on subjects which you hold dear. It seems to me that your problem is simply that you don't like being disagreed with.
 
As I see it, the person with the greatest claim to "personal attack" across the entirety of this thread is probably the horse's owner, although I would say its been more of a "public" than "personal" attack.

TBH nothing we do or say here has any bearing on the matter .
OP should report the situation to whichever charity she chooses if that is what she wishes to do.
When I reported an old horse struggling earlier in the summer the RSPCA attended within six hours made the owner call the her own vet and checked up the horse was being medicated later in the week .
The RSPCA rang me three times over the few days I have to say I was impressed.

I must say I agree I reported a horse left in a field that was very thin and starving. People had told livery owners but all they said was that owner was in hospital with a heart attack. I phoned the RSPCA not expecting a response but they came and horse was moved so someone could look after it until owner was better. I was glad I phoned.

That's the way to do it.

You are joking aren't you? There are many lurkers on this forum who fear to ever write anything. It's like the wild west on this board sometimes :)[/

No I am not joking if I agree with someone ( or otherwise ) I say so , I do know some people prefer not to post just read I did for awhile when I first started reading the forum.
I am more not less likely to comment if someone is getting duffed up and I agree with them.
I really don't see what there is to fear .

I don't like being disagreed with !!!

That's rich.

To be honest, I probably don't disagree with you about the mare (I say probably because I haven't seen it)
The only opinion I have given on this thread is about your way of dealing with it, which is so arrogant its breathtaking. "Oy you" for gods sake.
But I'm not surprised as most of your posts are sent from a highly elevated position.

Oh well, because I'm not a cowardy custard, and I'm not really worried about any attempts at "personal attacks" on t'internet, I'm publically voicing my support for mongoose - and no, that is not solely based on the OP's posting history...

I am extremely concerned that there are people posting who don't think a horse not weight bearing on a limb because of arthritis is not an welfare issue because the horse is 'loved'
I have never heard such rubbish.

Just for the record, the use of "if" in my previous post, relating to whether the horse is a welfare case or not reflects solely in my cynicism towards the OP's assessment of situations, rather than the above. Not having seen the horse myself, or having the testimony of a professional to go on, I'm going to stand by that wording ;)

I was not thinking about your post btw not that it matters.
 
I often wonder why some people on this forum believe that they should be able to dictate what other people post about! If they had their way the forum would be a pointless place, where only the pink and fluffy were able to post, apart from a few who could astonish us with their intelect and abilities!
 
I do love a bit of irony in people's posting histories. I have a long memory and see so much of it on here :D

Just thought I'd clarify that I'm some psycho loony who believes it's acceptable to leave a horse in that condition. I find it absolutely abhorrent and would happily call the authorities if I observed a situation I judged to fit that description :)

I'm hoping you don't mean me here, but in case you do, allow me to clarify my position.

I would hate any censorship on posting. I want folk to post what they like. I also want to post what I like.
Just because I find op's attitude, arrogance and posting style so dictatorial doesn't mean I want her to stop.
On the contrary, I see a post from cpt, banging her drum, listening to nothing unless it echoes her own opinion, and I think, ahhh HHO and its madness, lets pour a drink and settle down for a laugh.

It was a general observation.
Did I see irony mentioned above .......

Have I missed something here? Wasn't I being criticised by you for publicly criticising an unidentified person about a welfare case?

And yet you feel this level of personal criticism is perfectly acceptable just because you don't personally like my use of English and some of my opinions?

Go figure

Gosh darn it, you got me...

But then, we're ALL mad here - I'm mad, you're mad... How do I know you're mad? You must be, or you wouldn't have come here!
