No way to keep them off a public board. That was the main reason many of us were happy to be invited to this board where at least we weren't subject to such invasions. There are many topics of interest that are discussed here, some interest me, some don't and I suspect everyone can say the same. My question is why bother with what folks on another board are saying? Does it seem off the wall that folks are responding to a horse? Sure, but so what?

Don't you think there is a reason people respond that way? You're preaching is too much and you make everything about how special and enlightened you are. Great, no one cares. My question is, after how much preaching are you going to realize no one wants it?

It's funny that people talk to a horse online as if she is really responding. That's it.

Seems funny to me, I simply state my opinion and because you disagree, I'm acting like I'm "special, enlightened" while you state your opinion and that's somehow different. Also, who is the arrogant one here? Me or you for thinking you speak for the entire board...might surprise you to know there are actually some folks here who agree with me. But then, it's easier to dismiss someone with personal comments than to respond to what they post

I responded to what you posted. I told you no one (I should have said 99.9% of the board, my bad) wants to be preached to. We get it, you're better than us all. Whatever.

If I act like you in 30 years I'm throwing myself in front of a train.

Probably the person who is basically saying:

I'm better than all of you because you keep acting like you're better than all of them.

And how exactly do I do that? By simply stating my opinion which often times is different than those who deem it necessary to respond with personal attacks. My opinions are no better or worse than the next guy's... because I may see something differently than somebody else doesn't make me act like I'm somehow "better".

Well, you asked the question about who was being arrogant.
I answered it.
