Turned away due to my weight :(

[OldNag]

Is it me, or the orginal posts gone and just the quoted posts remain of the people who just got rebanned? (BTW If a rebanned person comes back, can someone quote everything they say so I can read back later )


PS Why don't admin ban IP's

Depends if dynamic or static ( though that all may have changed, I am very much not up to date with IT....)

7th level of hell... Actually. And a DJ!

Sorry ...

 

[_GG_]

Phew. This thread is an absolute disgrace though, even without her bile. The poor OP.

Indeed. The OP messaged me yesterday and I think a couple of others that posted honest but kind advice and has not been on here since. Sad and a little shameful!

Just have to hope she was true to her word and didn't come back to the forum.

Or using a proxy server to "pretend" to be elsewhere...

I can vouch for the fact that DD is NOT forest fox. I have seen he fb conversation from FF, formerly Daydreamdolly.. therefore I'm afraid doriangrey, you are a muppet.

Her last log in was just after her last post. I thought I would PM her if she had been on since, but she hasn't :-(

I thought I was being reasonably nice but I didn't get a pm... From her anyway - that reminds me...

Well, I won't admit to not being a muppet toast ... but I didn't accuse DD of being forest fox.

Ye-es but DD has confirmed on facebook that the other poster was her

How awful to be wishing someone who came for help DOESN'T come back, but I have to agree with you. I wish the people suggesting it's all good fun would try to think of it from a newcomer's point of view and remember we're not all tough and experienced at forum "games".

 

[mulledwhine]

Good

And I agree, this thread turned out very unsavoury

I feel soo sorry for the OP but she will never be forgotten

 

[mulledwhine]

Ps I want to post a ' weight' thread but dare not now

Should I do it any way?

Yes.

Dabdab - what a horrid thing to say , what was her crime? Being a complete novice? God forbid

Oh I tried via PM to keep her here as a place to just get advice and support. Even said that it would be a great place for support even she only used it to PM people she wanted to and ignored the rest.

I hate that someone who potentially had a great deal to offer horses has decided to give up because of this forum.

The very fact that she was devastated by having ridden and potentially hurt horses and decided not to ride again shows that she did have their best interests at heart...but just was lacking knowledge and lead by a poor instructor.

Just a real, real shame

 

[mulledwhine]

Ok

 

[Regandal]

I have to say, DD is persistent. More of a Tenacious D really!

I'll give you a run down of the probably replies.

Yes, you're too fat.
How cruel!
Stop eating pies!
Are you a balanced rider because if you are then you actually only ever exert 6 stone of pressure despite weighing 15.
If you feed your horse so it puts on weight you will be able to weigh more and still ride according to the 20% rule.
You're so selfish.
Disgusting.
Terrible.
Eat less. Move more.

I read it as a 'for her own sake' comment? Or was DabDab taking about FF hopefully not coming back?

On the one hand yes. On the other, if she came back and read through the thread, she would see that:
1. Most posters have expressed views politely
2. Many posters have stood up for her
3. The worst poster has been banned for being a troll - i.e. her vile comments are not a reflection on the OP
4. Most / many posters are extremely sorry for how ridiculous this thread has become
5. It serves to educate a new poster that the forum is pretty divided on most topics, and posters can be as vile to each other as they've been to her - it's nothing personal!

OK it wouldn't be easy to read... but...

Oh no, I didn't mean that at all - I meant so that she didn't see the rest of this thread and get further upset and demoralised by it. I genuinely think she was treated badly.

 

[mulledwhine]

In that case I apologise x

Thankfully nothing like that LOL

Apologised once ( you probably did not see )

So apologies again for getting the wrong end of the stick x

More like a Desperate Dan. She can't take being banned, can she? Bit silly if you ask me, people will now leap on newbies hoping to out her in a new guise.

 

[mulledwhine]

But she is not FF!!!

 

[doriangrey]

Ye-es but DD has confirmed on facebook that the other poster was her

Fair enough (but I'm not on facebook nor likely to be - tmt). I thought DD would not want to 'out' herself on H&H in case of another ban but I never would have thought she was forest fox anyway - who was odious. I'm not a computer expert but how many times can you re-invent yourself, doesn't your IP address give yourself away?

 

[DabDab]

Oh no that's alright, don't worry about it x

 

[CinnamonChristmasCookie]

Dunno, but I fail to see the point of being on a horse forum when you can't post about your horse given it would be just too obvious.
