Yes, it touches nerves.
Mostly cause it is anonymous writers that make wild statements.
Ironically, I am not overweight...I am like Dr. Weary, 6' 3" tall and weigh 190
which is not overweight for that height, so why should I be defending the
overweight? This is timely....I work at a radio station, and just today a
caller into the show made the statement that fat people shouldn't be seen going
into restaurants. Our dj said that was ridiculous, but nonetheless, our
phones lit up. People were calling in tears. Some were outraged,
threatening to go to the BBB or FCC, saying it was discrimination. (Its
not). But the point is... that yes, insensitive or nasty comments about
"peoples" weight, height, or anything else causes hurt feelings. I am sure
that exactly NONE of us are so pure and perfect that we don't have one problem
or another.

Rider weight has touched a lot of nerves and caused hard
feelings. Too bad, so sad. How about giving your horse a little
more consideration. Lose a
few!
