Sandy,
You are entitled to your opinion.
Each of us is.
Please do not allow the silencing of your voice by someone, anyone, who doesn't even know you. Someone who doesn't truly know what is in heart.
Each of us, who have done this "sport" for some time, can usually tell what is what, and who is whom doing what to whom and for what reason.
Judging a situation is not a bad thing. We can not always be right. That's okay. We, like the horses we love and ride, are, at times, fallible.
Sometimes, after a ride and upon reviewing our performance and our horse's performance we come upon something we could have done differently, could have done better.
Often, that's what gets us to go to another ride and try again.
There are many people who read "Ridecamp" and a variety of opinions enriches the pot. Sometimes, we (you and I and whomsoever) find ourselves being "judged" by those who inhabit that place just beyond the signpost up ahead..."Ridecamp". That's too bad. Judging what we type is okay; agreeing or disagreeing in a mature fashion, is okay. Heck, there have been many times I have had my opinion changed by someone on Ridecamp...a newbie here, a "veteran" there. That's one of the benefits of an exchange of information, opinions and passions found here. None of us is always right nor always wrong.
Don't put your keyboard away...try again. (Group Think can be even more dangerous than being misunderstood.)
Frank.
