Do you ever share your extensive knowledge here FTFOTB? I haven't seen it in recent months (perhaps years) but you do drop by every once in a while to say look what a great resource you nasty, snarky, rotten people lost. How dare we not honor your expertise, beg to have you back, and put up with comments like these without taking any insult. Damn it your an expert - how dare we ask you not to treat us like morons!

Many of you don't even recognize it when someone knows what they're talking about because many of you are too illiterate to see it. Yes you are. You know who you are. No, this isn't about me. I don't want it to be about me or my horse, but some of you always make it about me or my horse. You have nothing else but the attack dog mentality and the bandwagon. 

If this were such a good place, all rainbows and butterflies, and you were all the perfect angels you make yourselves out to be, then many of the very knowledgeable, logical, extremely educated and literate, friendly, generous people who used to be here, would still be here. Unfortunately, many are not. I wonder why they left? It is partly due to you believing you have every right to YOUR opinions and snark, any time, any place, directed at anyone you choose, yet others do not have the right to their opinions without being chastised for them.
 




I hope you find those knowledgeable, logical, extremely educated and literate, generous, friendly people. You will never find them here because you are already clearly convinced they do not exist here. I find those people here amidst the cranks that are bound to show up anywhere on the internet. I have seen incredible acts of kindness and generosity and people putting in a great deal of time and effort to help educate others. I have met a few people from here and am glad that I did. Good luck in your quest for better people. I assume since you are here you haven't found them yet.
Well....to put it quite blunty, a lot of you on here ARE morons.
