Meh, foxhunter... ddr deliberately misses ANY points except his own. And then he beats us over the head with them incessantly is what he feels is a witty way. Plus he twists words to suit what he wants them to say as opposed to what they really were saying.

As in...

You can wear a garbage can on your head as for as I am concern but just don't SCOLD he about how I am going to die if I don't wear one.


I never said anything about you wearing one. I could care less what you do. Show me where I said that - oh wait - it never happened!! It is your frigging lousy ATTITUDE that people do not like. You never practice what you preach. You can sneer at anything you please and none of us better say a peep in disagreement. Not allowed!!

It's your fear not mine.


You really are an arrogant ass at times - and seem to take pride in it... image a good dose of humility and maybe even some fear/respect would serve you well. Yes, I have crashed over fences in the past (have you ever even ridden over fences?) and once when the damn girth snapped at a full gallop across the hunt field. Tell me, oh Snotty One - would you have stayed on? No way in hell. Even your self-vaunted amazing skills and telepathetic ability to see into the future would have failed you. Even Stacey Westfall would have hit the ground HARD. And yes, such crashes tend to instill some caution and deep-seated lingering memories. But I wore the helmet before those events happened (damn good thing) as well as after - so the effects of those falls had no say in my helmet wearing in any way. That fact that you can mock that and sneer as you have in this thread (and as dear Linda does) suggests that you are not really a good teacher/instructor/horseman at heart. A true horseman does not close his heart and mind to ANYTHING. If someone showed up at your place to benefit from your alleged wisdom - and they insisted on wearing a helmet, would you grab their money and still insult them? Lecture them about being a wimp? Mock them for making the choice to wear a helmet?

Go have some eggnog and chill out. Do some Merry Christmassing! image
