RE: [RC] Why I joined this list (to Shannon) - Chastain, Shannon L.For one thing I did reply back to Karen off line she told me not to talk to her off line so I dropped it. Her post to me was confusing and I asked basically for more clarification. I can only assume she did not like the FACT that my horse has very health very round front feet and he is barefoot. Then for some strange reason she replied back to my venting on the way some of you were treating others on this is If I had posted the same letter BUT let it be known I agree with shoeing I would have gotten a totally different email from you...right I promised myself last month I would not open anymore of your posts I will stick to that plan from now on. You have nothing to say I want to hear.

Cc: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [RC] Why I joined this list (to Shannon) I am not really looking for camaraderie I like a good debate, there are just some people on this list that do not respect other peoples opinions. I already belong to the other list. Thanks, A good debate requires that both sides have respect for each other. The nassssty shoeing people have for the most part expressed respect for those who make the choice to go barefoot and who are honest about what it entails. What they've been told in return is that they abuse their horses, they don't care about their horses, they don't try hard enough, and that they WILL change their minds. That is not debate--that is fight-picking. There IS a difference. Karen Standefer gave you a very detailed and accurate response to your question about sole protection by shoes. I gathered from your last post that you weren't looking for an answer--you were setting yourself up to appear to be picked on. If you were truly looking for an honest debate, you might have provided some discussion in response to Karen's excellent post. Despite those who would twist my words and those of others here to the contrary, there are darn few of us here who are "against" people choosing to go barefoot. But the chip on the shoulders of some of the barefoot folks seems to be so broad that anybody who doesn't just rush right in and embrace their rhetoric is a nasty person. (And no, Shannon, not everything in life is an opinion--some things are facts. And part of good debating is presenting facts to support your opinions.)
