Re: [RC] Holy cow! News Flash! - sehredt

If you REALLY wanna have fun, tell this crowd you ride your horses barefoot 
and DON'T WEAR A HELMET!!!!!!!!!!  You could insert smiley faces till your 
fingers hurt and they'd still string you up by your toes............
:o)

Hi, Lynne - Nice of you to try and smooth things over, at least you 
wrote an intelligent reply.  And I'm sorry I omitted the smiley
face.....but I don't think a whole page of smiley faces would cut it
with this crowd when they're on a crusade.  I was trying to make
peace over the whole subject, and you see where that went.  It only
goes to prove the the anti-barefoot bias in this genre.  What the 
heck do they care if I want to keep my horse barefoot?  It's not
like I'm sneaking into their pastures at night and pulling off shoes.

  Dear Shari,

  Let's just get it out on the table.  The publications editor of 
  AERC/Endurance News is NOT an endurance rider!  This is nothing 
  PERSONAL.  In example, the photo which was chosen as January's cover 
  was ultimately rejected last minute (after much work on my part in 
  image prep) because the helmet strap on a junior wasn't tight enough.  
  Oversight like that is important, to make sure our journal which goes 
  out to people worldwide properly represents the viewpoint of the 
  organization.

  In further example, Kim Fuess' article on negative splits was rejected 
  when first submitted.  She went  to one of the AERC officers to get it 
  reconsidered, and it was ultimately published, I think, as is.  Maybe 
  you should consider that route.

  If you are making a joke, make some allowance for the lack of nuance in 
  typewritten characters, and use a SMILEY or comment <grin> to insure 
  you aren't misunderstood.  Yeah, it may be overkill, but it will 
  prevent knee-jerk reactions.

  intolerant of extreme viewpoints whether political or experiential--
  and it is extremely gorgeous here, 72 degrees, I shot glorious poppies 
  today, so don't accuse me of not getting out enough on my currently 
  barefoot horses
