MB update

@jvanrens

I’m thinking she’s trying to use it as a scare tactic, hoping it will get back to MB and he’ll be mentally messed up again by the stress of it all.

Or trying to sway his legal team into making a deal and not going to trial.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your herd boss. So heart-breaking. And jingles to your other mare to make a full recovery and to find another BFF soon. It’s so hard to see them grieving.

[trubandloki]

Jingles for your mare @smoofox. Also very sorry for your loss. That sounds just horrible.

If LK was as y’all describe you would never post about her because you would be too afraid. Your own posts deny your accusations. Worse, y’all know it.

Instead of armchair amateur psycho analyzing her, read up on why people tend to blame victims of crime.

Complete and utter codswallop (mk2)

Since someone previously copied Psychology Today (in an attempt to categorize posters here as a hate group) I thought I’d share this snippet from them as well.

“There are many different ways we shame others: Sarcasm, name-calling, expressing disgust, and eye-rolling are all ways we communicate that someone else is not worthy of our respect. Shaming behaviors make us feel superior to that other person, as well as communicate to them that we wish they’d be or act differently, without us having to actually talk to them in an adult way and take responsibility for our own feelings. The same way teasing is so often rooted in hostility, shame takes its energy from judgment and self-righteousness. Shame, in whatever form it takes, is a way to control the other person by using their deeply ingrained need for connection to threaten them with disconnection. It’s genius. And nefarious”

Or don’t just threaten them with disconnection - ignore them, they HATE the withdrawal of attention even more

Does responding to someone’s post with “complete and utter codswallop” count as “ignoring them”? By quoting them, they get a notification (attention).

And what is “codswallop”?

Why don’t you look it up?

Any old excuse to get your undies in a bunch!

Only horse people are overjoyed with quantities, textures, and moisture levels of horse poop!!

Dog people too! Especially when you have a senior canine or one with a delicate GI tract!

Damn, yes.

I saw such an interesting thing tonight related to what we were talking about. Thought I should share it with you.

@Knights_Mom

We blame her not because there is something wrong with US, but rather with her behavior.

Plus, there’s that whole no crime thing. Not that I have to tell you that…

Wow!! 100% appropriate! What a shame they don’t recognize themselves!

I wager @Hightale’s post received at least two flags for this inappropriate word! Such trash talk is against the rules, at least the rules of some posters.

BTW, @Hightale was christened by the flag police on her very first post yesterday! I think that’s a record for this group!

[eggbutt]

I’m going to telepath Michael suggesting he use his nubby little pencils to draw a Flying Monkey next! It might end up being the cover of his book or best seller of his limited edition prints! I know I’d buy one for sure, heck there are quite a few of his drawings I’d love to own!

Isn’t it typical that a certain person makes fun of an innocent man using his time drawing from memory using bare minimum tools while waiting for the not guilty verdict he received?

[Hightale]

@eggbutt it seems that flying monkey feathers get ruffled really easily

Caveat, now I’m not saying anyone in particular is a flying monkey, because that might be against the rules, this is obviously just a general thought on posting behaviours

@hut-ho78

If LK was as y’all describe you would never post about her because you would be too afraid. Your own posts deny your accusations.

IF? Dozens of people who have had real life interactions with LK over the past 10 years have shared their personal accounts of how vicious, cruel, and BSC she is. There is no “if” about it. The real question is why you don’t believe the many people who all have had the same experience with her.

In other words they react with codswallop!

I’m curious @Hightale, is codswallop similar to poppycock?

And then we have kerfuffle, claptrap, rigamarole, malarkey, hullabaloo…the list is endless!

[Mersidoats]

I prefer hogwash, myself. Lots of hogwash happening here, and on YT.

[BigMama1]

Apparently we can’t share general thoughts on posting behaviours either without some finding it “abusive and offensive” and a violation of COTH rules. There are some delicate constitutions around here…

[MorganSercu]

Tripe is a good one too.

[Hightale]

So my suggestion - if I may as a newbie, but one who has been reading these threads from the start? Absolutely not teaching egg sucking and please do feel free to ignore me.
But, you all know what some of the posters here are like, they are just here to argue, post unfathomable illogical responses, tie the threads up in endless circles, rinse / repeat, get threads closed etc, I’ve seen it again and again on each Barisone thread, it really winds the majority of you up and totally gums up relevant and useful discussion.

So……You can engage with these people’s posts, but not actually engage with them if that makes sense?

EG I’m not going to get into an argument about the minutiae of the post content that will engender a ream of word salad back. Just give an option on the post content if you want to acknowledge it ………and stroll off.

Be more dog than monkey……sniff it, pee on it and walk away.

Unless you want to argue the toss over and over, in which case have at it my lovelies!
