Ridecamp: Re: [RC] sharing expenses

I don't know how the rest of you feel, but one ridecamper complaining 
about another ridecamper in a way that many would recognize who the 
latter is (a "raffle" horse in Southern CA) on a public forum does not 
feel kosher to me. For one thing, most of us do not know the parties 
involved and cannot judge who is partly/totally/or not-at-all truthful 
about this matter.
Can we take this off ridecamp now before anyone gets hurt or writes 
anything they may regret later if the truth be known?
It's a lovely day to go riding :-)
