I was being funny BR. Notice the LOL in that post where I said I liked to rile people up. I was also being funny when I said that I was the expert on the board, and that both horses were awesome. I was taking a jab at some of the posters who were dissing either Barbaro or Bernardini in that respect. The posters who didn't attack me knew that I was being funny.

I don't really ever start trouble on this board. I have never really gotten into an argument with anyone until now. Usually, when people start personally attacking or pointing out typos, I stop the conversation because it means that their arguments have become too weak to continue. This time I didn't because you all now had something to prove when you said that you knew more about conformation analysis than I did. I was hoping to get it out of you all because, if you did know more or were at least knowledgeable in the subject area, then I would have someone to debate and talk with about it. However, not any of you who claimed that I didn't know what I was talking about provided me with any specific evidence that I wasn’t knowledgeable on the topic and didn't answer a single one of my questions. Therefore, you won't have any credibility until you establish yourself as actually being knowledgeable in the area. I called you out on it, and if you can't provide me with some solid evidence (FACTS), then listen instead of arguing and attacking about what I do or don't know.

Jessica,

Nobody said that they knew more than you did about conformation. The only thing said was that PERHAPS you weren't the "expert" you said you were. The way you said it was condescending and I'm sorry for saying that, but it was. Can we just drop this and move on? Let's just agree to disagree on this topic. Nobody wants to fight over stupid stuff.
