Tension in Dressage

Well if I didn't make the cut I'd be sitting here in tears. I can't believe everyone would gang up on me. You don't know the real truth. And why are you all in a clique instead of spending time with your horses? How cruel.... I know everyone i met has called me an asshole. but they are all wrong. I am totally amazing. And even though some of those people would be trained personality judges, or have written for them, I would still dismiss their opinions completely, in complete confidence that everything I think is correct.

I'm sure its ester. She does badges. Aaaaand I need a badge for being in the top ten thingy. I dont know how I got there or what the points are for but I'll be needing my badge now please!
 
So if we all thought the OP was being silly then why not just leave the post to die? Why keep it going for nearly 770 posts??

This is what people mean when they say that this forum bullies and is cliquey, if you aren’t getting through to people then why not just put your itchy fingers away and let the thread fall to the bottom of the pile and disappear??

What a complete waste of 30mins of my night and I didn’t even read it all :(

-because at a base level it's an interesting discussion about the theory of prelim dressage, that broadened into a more expansive debate that wasn't even about the Ops horse.
-because theres no forum police and threads are fluid and can adapt to different thought flows
- because no-one makes anyone read a thread, that's their own choice
- because it's not anyone's job to get through to anyone else. people are entitled to think whatever they want

I would never post anything with the intention of getting anyone to change their mind about what they think. thats not the point of a forum. it;s about just typing out what's in your brain, and thats only relative to your experience at that point in time. then you reading what's in other people's brains, learn some stuff, consider other stuff and disregard mad stuff and then log off and go back to mucking out.

And to be quite frankly horrid to each other but dress it up nicely so it’s not exactly bullying. Means everyone has sleep at night yes. Excellent tally ho then

Wonderful example of the ‘fluidity’ of the human mob behaviour. Fascinating
 
What is with the mob stuff? I genuinely don't get it. This thread was an example of someone who didn't understand the basic concept of how prelim tests are marked. Which is fine, people often don't know what they don't know. I don't see how posters who are judges, judge writers and dressage riders all stating similar, very basic facts constitutes a mob?
 
i actually despair at your post really as you seem really knowledgable and intelligent, the thread is 770 posts long, the OP did themself no favours I’ll say, defensive is being mild however people started playing it, instead of just leaving it alone and now it’s onto headscarves and irrelevant chat, fair enough fluidity and all that, but really when the toys went out the pram the best thing would have been for the thread to die, no go on the way it did.

Serves no purpose I can see

the op was proven to be a troll, and wasted peoples time and energy in replying to them. In the longer term they damage the forum because people will think twice about replying to posters in future (i know I will). I feel so stupid for posting a pic of my horse and explaining the similar issues I had. What a waste of my time. And then the Op purposefully twisted peoples posts to wind them up. I think the best way to end this thread is just with a bit of a laugh.
