Re: Uh-Oh! The LD thing again

Wow. Did someone touch a nerve or what? I have not been following the posts
to ride camp that long, but this is the first time that I have felt that the
writer is defensive, (I think without provocation), aggressive and just
plain rude! It's sad to see someone take such umbrage at someone expressing
an opinion. I really enjoy reading the posts and sometimes I agree and
sometimes not. I chuckle and often laugh out loud. You gotta admit, it's
better than TV. But I will offer some advice that is given by Diane for
Diane......"lighten up"
