Everyone's got an opinion, and they're gonna share it (that's the point of a discussion forum, right?). Funny??? I thought a discussion forum was for sharing info and Learning??? Not dissecting every post and trying to make it into something not "Up to par"? Guess I was wrong???
Fixed that for ya



You know what? No matter how many times you and other people whine that this board isn't "what it's supposed to be," it won't change. People won't stop posting what they want to post, whether that is snarky posts to start drama or smart posts pointing out things that they see are wrong. You can't control what other people do, and frankly it is really annoying to hear the constant whining that the board isn't really a "free speech board" and "4H should change the name to this title-that-really-isn't-that-witty-but-that-describes-this-week's-reasons-for-why-the-board-is-going-to-hell." Seriously, has any of it done any good? Have any of these posts made the condition of the board change, or made the "mean" posters change what they post?

ETA: Also, the constant whining about how the board isn't "nice" is not going to change anything either. Again, when has any of this changed how teh "mean" people post? Give me one example.

Whine? Simply stating a fact for those that want to believe there is some value to the senseless snark. I can understand snark for the asshat behavior of those out there who starve or neglect or are just stupid and don't want to learn. But snark over something positive? Go find something that is snark worthy and post about it. Post if you think you can make a difference. Post for all to stand together and send multiple emails. Post so all can send multiple requests and demands for the person to change, to better their selves. To look at how they are treating their horse. Post so all can go on youtube or facebook and dig up more incriminating info to shove in the offenders face. All in the name of "making a difference"! Oh...wait...that has already been done hasn't it??? Multiple times for that matter. The most recent being Mercury. Some of the same people that have accused others of stalking yet turn around and do exactly that? Yeah, makes a lot of sense to me. Whine you say??? Yeah right

    I want to dissociate myself from your opinion. Maybe something bothers you, of which I don't know what it is. When that is the case, I would have preferred if you would have told me that personally, instead of putting your opinion on Facebook. FSH. I really regret your misunderstanding."
