on a Horse forum!
I have been on a horse forum for about 6 months, and have made quite a few friends.
Everyone is all excited because the horse market is down due to excess horses we have bred, and the closing of the horse slaughter houses.
What they are worried about is not the horses being unwanted as such, but the effect on the horse breeding/sales that so many horses have.
The majority want to bring back slaughter [including the administrator] and I do not agree. I think slaughter only covers up the symptoms and does not address the real problems with how horses are treated.
Well, these horse lover want to kill off the unwanted horses and now they hate me because I say that is not a good long term solution, and the actual solutions is likely to cost them a lot of money.
Next thing I know every time I post somebody gets up in arms and accuses me of attacking them personally. Soon, it is a habit that even the administrator is doing! I got a pm this morning from the administrator accusing ME of attacking a member and threatening to suspend me!
I wrote back saying that she should be fair and look at things in an unbiased way [the member in question is a personal friend]. The next thing I know, I am suspended for a week.
For arguing! I feel terrible because I am NOT at fault here, and I feel picked on. I don't think I am being treated as a valued member.
This hurts, and I don't think I should stay there. Do you?
