Re: RC: Let's not talk about David Boggs Please

[Peggy Rinehart <rubyjwl@cts.com>]

Being new to this sport, I must agree with Heidi.  While I don't happen to
own an Arabian, I am very interested in how this Boggs person has been
handled by the IAHA.  People with his unsavory character flaws exist in
every breed discipline and I think it is important for us to
publicize/broadcast cases such as this.  Ridecamp is an invaluable source of
information.  If I don't want to read about a particular subject, I just hit
the little trash can icon.  It's simple.  If subjects are banned, then none
of us have the choice to either read or delete.
