Me neither. Which was the whole point I was trying to make. But I also could have missed something, so that is why I asked which ones were so offensive.
If the mods removed the posts, isn’t it standard for them to post that they have done so and remind folks to keep it civil?
This is more or less my point… that it didn’t initially go south. And I would say that the development with regards to the recordings/transcripts doesn’t seem to be why it did.
Perhaps this is a chicken and egg conversation, or a difference in opinion regarding what is “mean” or “nasty”. It seems that some think that discussing someone’s public/online behavior and testimony in court is “mean”. But it seems to me the more some protest and admonish, the more they drive the conversation off the rails.
Which just goes back to my original point. To me, though, it just looks like pot stirring.

My friend’s horse was opened up like suitcase for colic surgery, where they removed a section of dead colon and resectioned it. He returned to riding and competing, although he didn’t compete any more in dressage because he was transitioning to be a junior hunter for my friend’s daughter (but my friend still schooled him at times at his previous FEI dressage level).
I am sure there are multiple other instances of horses returning to full use after colic surgery.

Yes, but if you need to be an invisible ninja at night, black is your best option. And if you don’t go just plain old full ninja in black, your next best option is Amish ninja with a prayer cap!

Then very dark blue is better. Honest and true, it is more difficult to see than an all-black outfit.
Vantablack isn’t used to dye clothing, to the best of my knowledge. Yet.

I got 20 years out of my horse after his colic surgery at age 10. We had many happy miles together before and after that surgery.

Guys. This is ridiculous. Every single thread about this. This isn’t about “staying silent in the face of adversity”. This is about looking like a fool because you’re arguing with idiocy. Stop.

That the family is still enabling her behaviour (through financial support and posting here, for example) is very troubling.

Yes, it would seem so. From what others have said, [edit] he was apparently nothing more than just a working-class schmuck that she suckered into a marriage for the purposes of having someone locally to use as a crutch, though I can’t say if they were ever really in a relationship before that. Others have claimed that both before and after she was with him, she was deep in a relationship with RG, which was one of the primary causes of the dissolution of the marriage, in addition to her ever-growing drug habit and violent/aggressive behavior towards others. It is believed that she was a full-blown addict at that time. It’s very unclear what happened after the marriage was terminated, but it is said that she went back to NJ for some time, where she officially took up with RG and they stayed around for a bit, before relocating back to NC, living in the area she had run off to for many years, until recently.

Just checking in to see if I missed anything relevant, overnight or if it’s more of the same back and forth. I wonder who has the morning shift?

Well, another thread that started with new and interesting information has devolved into the same few people posting misinformation, delusional opinions, and outright lies, and a bunch of other people arguing, pointing out the lies, and QFP-ing.
Enough already.

Yes, but…when the parties flip roles, for example, when it’s time for MB’s counterclaim, they can call those same witnesses on direct and ask away on new stuff. Of course, if they called, for example, RG as their witness, he might be less than cooperative. They can then ask for permission to treat him as a “hostile” witness and ask leading questions that aren’t usually allowed on direct.

The funny thing about the repeated phrase is that the correct original phrase is “from stem to stern”; a nautical term meaning from the front to the back, especially of a ship, eg: “Surges of water rocked their boats from stem to stern” or along the entire length of something; throughout, eg: “The day was a delight from stem to stern.”
“Stem to stem” is nonsensical, literally saying “from front to front.”
Unless you’re trying to be ironic, like Dorothy Parker’s famous criticism of Katherine Hepburn’s acting: “ “Miss Hepburn ran the whole gamut of emotions—from A to B.”
I suspect the originally coiner of the phrase “stem to stem” was not attempting irony.
