It has come time for me to take a vacation from the forum. I am a lot of things, have a lot of faults, but rude is not one of them and there are many on here I wanted to let know, and not just dissappear.
There have been some things going on that I am not comfortable with. A lot of things seem to happen, I post often for help and suggestions and you guys have been so wonderful.
But got an email after my post on Prints choking about my "dramatics". I had never dealt with choke, so yeah maybe I was a little over excited. I did a thread to ask for nicer replies on giving ones opinion on a horse, got a not so nice email about how that thread was pointed at a particular person, they knew it, (and no it was not), and I should "respect them more for their experience instead of making them look bad." Put one of my colts up for sale, got an email from someone who obviously knows all there is to know about all horses and explained to me why the colt, "Is priced entirely too high!"
No, those people did not know what they were talking about, so yes, the real problem here is me, and I know that. People are going to do whatever it is they are going to do, that is about them. You know within yourself what is right or wrong, so when what others do starts to bother and affect you, it is then about you.
I have noticed I just really struggle with those who tell others how wrong they are, those who have to back up every response to a thread with how many national champions they own, yeah you have told us on many occassions. When indeed the most I listen to is those who lead by example. Without starting each thread with a pat on their own back.
Marty told me once I take things way too hard, I take responsibility when there is nothing I could have done. She helped me greatly in that department and she is right. I am trying to fix that even more, so need to seperate myself from some things, including the forum, for now. May all just be a combination of a ton of things.
Again, not here to get sympathy, or responses, just am not going to be rude and walk away.
I will indeed watch, read and learn. My horses need for me to do that, the forum has done great things for me and my horses. This is in NO WAY about the forum.
So, I need to get me worked out! Get over my save the world, have a nice world, type attitude.
I'll be hanging in the shadows. Logging off for now!
Hope to see many still out at shows!
