I’m guessing you’re interpreting DreadPirateRoberts as saying that LKs campaign of harassment literally caused MBs insanity, and and since he shot her while insane, she’s the cause of his shooting her.

Why are you trying to guess what I think? It can’t be relevant to your life in any way. I said nothing about DPR’s post. If you want to make up stories in your head about how I interpreted the post nobody is stopping you, but it does seem pretty weird.

You said of DreadPirate’s post “it’s been discussed here for three years”,

@CurrentlyHorseless

Or are you going with the claim she was the one who attacked him, and he shot her in self defense?

You can’t be more specific on the mechanism by which LK supposedly “contributed to her own predicament”?

But, sincerely, I don’t understand how any of those scenarios depends on LK being viewed as “vile” or “unreliable”.

But I understand perfectly if you want to decline to explain your reasoning. Speaking in loose generalities is so much easier than getting down to specifics.

Why exactly do you care so much about everyone’s theories and reasoning? And why should anyone feel obliged to share their reasoning with you? It’s bizarre.

It’s bizarre that I would want to understand what DreadPirateRoberts meant when she said LK contributed to her own predicament? It’s s discussion board. The thread is on the civil trial. Whether LK somehow “forced”’or “caused” MB to shoot her and whether LK failed to mitigate her damages are central issues for the supposed topic of the thread.

She is welcome to decline to respond. But acting like I’m the weirdo for asking her to expand on her post is what is bizarre.

You do not need Dread Pirate Roberts aka Farm Boy to explain that. You seriously think that nothing LK did contributed to her own predicament? Not her behavior, her rants, her rages - and we only saw what she did online… what she performed live and in person was likely far worse. She disrupted an entire barn and people’s lives - and brayed about it triumphantly and you have trouble understanding how that could possibly have contributed to what happened?

Nah. You are far smarter than that. Perhaps you are just posting that for brownie points from the incredibly credible IM.

Dammit. Now I have to get the shovel and wheelbarrow and tend to the stall aisle again - DPR has far better control than I do today.

Her mom also made it tiny little pancakes.

Omg. That sounds like the cutest thing EVER!

I read the first line as… Her mom also made it into tiny little pancakes.… and was wondering why anyone would think that was cute. Unless they liked hamster flavor.

@3PonyFarm

I looked at a few of them. Some were pretty harsh!

Some of them were harsh? Hundreds of them were harsh. In many threads. Hundreds x many = a lot.

[roseymare]

And some of them are absolutely gorgeous.

I am not sure very many manufacturers make many large safes that are not deemed “gun safes”.

on the EIM - as if it was actually some kind of a vast organization

(Hey, I was looking for a “what?” emoji and this came up and I like waffles so there you go, a waffle emoji. Back on topic, sorry.)

What? No, say it is not so.
Here I have been waiting for my invite to join the club and you are saying there is no club and I will never get an invite?

Well, there is a fun “club” of sorts… kinda like how I was sorted into Hufflepuff long ago. But no membership fees! Just a semi-official garment and a proclivity for popcorn paired with a tasty beverage of your choice.

I’m thinking of getting a ticket for this:

Grand Rapids Civic Theatre & School of Theatre Arts (arts-people.com)

[3PonyFarm]

Yes the little pancakes were about the size of a quarter. Her mom would let it cool down and slip it through the bars of its metal cage.

About the comments, I’m like Dr. Simring in that I didn’t want to read all of the comments, just a select few. Im sure there were many nasty ones.

@MHM

@3PonyFarm

I am curious if this one will have press there and if it is at the court house or on zoom.

Hopefully whichever one Judge T likes the best will do the talking.

I hope Nancy Jaffer will take an interest and cover it. She has certainly gone to the courthouse in person before, and she has a good grasp on the horse related issues, which is more than you can say for a lot of people who have covered

Haha I was skimming and thought you were quoting 3ponyfsrm about being gullible third graders and hamsters and was like why would Nancy Jaffer take on parents fibbing hamster lives to their children

The Ignore feature is very useful.

Truly a game changer. I wish I had tried it much sooner.

[3PonyFarm]

Maybe she should! Same with Santa!

Lol!!

[MHM]

Nancy Jaffer probably covers all kinds of subjects. Lol.

@VHM We know your character. Please don’t waste your time or your breath on these two detractors. It is definitely not worth the aggravation or effort. Your strength and courage are an inspiration to other women going through similar situations. Thanks for your openness in sharing your experience.

[KurPlexed]

@CurrentlyHorseless

If that’s not what you mean to say, please explain your logic

Why? Why does anyone have to explain anything to you? It’s fruitless. It’s ridiculous and it’s beyond annoying. Why can’t you just believe what you believe and move on? What is your end game? FFS stop already.

[KurPlexed]

@CurrentlyHorseless

LK vs 6 people who find her charming?

Holy crap. There is a zero % chance 1 person finds her “charming”. How ridiculous.

[KurPlexed]

@CurrentlyHorseless

I‘ll ignore your various insults.

You mentioned LK being responsible for her own predicament. The only way I can translate into an aspect of the civil case is that you agree with @Ekat that MBs defense is going to argue that LK “drove MB insane” and is therefore more than 51% responsible for his shooting her while insane.

Do you agree with Ekat on that issue?

I think there is zero chance the defense would succeed in proving that LK was responsible for causing MBs insanity. I doubt they’ll try.

Another tack would be to claim she failed to mitigate her damages not because she caused the insanity but because she should have recognized he was unstable and backed off. That’ll be hard to establish given that others close to him, including RC didn’t recognize his delusional behavior, but I can see the defense attempting that one.

Or are you going with the claim she was the one who attacked him, and he shot her in self defense?

You can’t be more specific on the mechanism by which LK supposedly “contributed to her own predicament”?

But, sincerely, I don’t understand how any of those scenarios depends on LK being viewed as “vile” or “unreliable”.

But I understand perfectly if you want to decline to explain your reasoning. Speaking in loose generalities is so much easier than getting down to specifics

So what percentage, @CurrentlyHorseless, do YOU think LK is responsible for? Let’s here some numbers.

[KurPlexed]

@BigMama1

Why exactly do you care so much about everyone’s theories and reasoning? And why should anyone feel obliged to share their reasoning with you? It’s bizarre

It’s bizarre bc it’s a lie!

[KurPlexed]

@CurrentlyHorseless

The thread is on the civil trial. Whether LK somehow “forced”’or “caused” MB to shoot her

Forced? Caused? C’mon man
Be real for 2nds. Those words are bs and you know it. Why not use the words that depict what actually happened?

[Jenerationx]

Careful… don’t get pulled in.
