Raising a Colt

Oh my goodness. Why can’t someone make one user name and stick with it? It must be confusing and exhausting to try and keep all their alternate personalities/personas going.

I could never get by trying that.
My “accent” would come thru.
No matter how hard I tried to hide or change how I write, the odd turn of phrase or idea, the use of commas, would give me away.
Much less trying to keep separate stories straight.

Guess that each poster is free to use posting as it wishes, to tell tall tales also?

PB has posted before about how she never wears a helmet. (Because, and I am not quoting her exactly but this was the gist - her horses are all perfectly trained superior equine specimens who never, ever stumble or trip).

Maybe that’s part of the explanation for the multiple forum personalities?

She’s also said she’s galloped thousands of racehorses. Wearing a helmet isn’t optional at the track. So just one more inconsistency.

I think it’s doubtful this person even has horses.

I don’t think we need to go as far as saying they don’t have horses. I also don’t think we need to dissect every interaction nor do we need to drag this across threads. Take what they say with a grain of salt.

@Palm Beach I feel that your pretending to be different posters is very disingenuous and disturbing. It really is not honest and it makes this BB a less pleasant place to be. :frowning: You are upset on the racing forum when some posters pretend to more than they really do, yet you are being deceitful in a manner that is far more dubious and destructive.

From page one of this post:

So…wait! Over in Off Topic she says, “My neighbor is a vet and I have the key to her house”.
https://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/f…-take-regumate .

Hmmmmmmmm…Does PB live next to her husband, who is a vet, whom she interchangeably calls him/her a he or a she, and her vet husband is actually a woman?

Or: Do all the vets in that town live on the same block, right next to each other, and they share house keys with the neighboring vets spouses?

This story is getting more and more interesting by the minute!

I don’t find it interesting and certainly not at all fun.

It is clearly fun for PB.

Which says quite a bit about them.

Agreed, HOWEVER - it is concerning. We live in an age where for better or worse, the internet is part of our daily lives. When you spend time and energy on a BB, you do - in a way - get to know people in that community, and plenty of CoTHers know other each other in real life. So it is a bit perturbing when something like this happens. It’s disingenuous at best and at worst, really disturbing.

Also for better or worse, what happens on the internet can have consequences for people in real life. I would never wish ill on someone, and I genuinely hope that PB is okay, but I don’t expect them to come out and clear this up.

I do wonder where the photos PB has been using as theirs for their various versions of them-self are coming from.

This has been an eye-opening thread.

Now I understand why all of PB’s racehorses are winners and her “racing stable” makes money every year. :lol:

Not interesting but caught your attention enough to post twice? :winkgrin: :stuck_out_tongue: (sorry, couldn’t resist! :slight_smile: )
(Wait, doesn’t that mean its “interesting”, by definition- arousing curiosity or interest; holding or catching attention?)

No, definitely not fun at all. If this is true that they are all the same poster, this is not one bit funny and is downright disturbing. When I saw PB’s mix mash of he/she husband/neighbor vets in her (Or his? Is PB really a woman? could be a man!) life, I had to just roll with it in the theme of all the other PB confusion and weirdness.

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin…
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on

I think it’s impressive that she/he managed to maintain this many alters for so long without people catching on. Sad though. I can only imagine what one is dealing with in their own life that they must make up different personas on a bulletin board…

Totally agree, however, I don’t think her menopause thread needs to turn into a PB bashing as many on this board are going to or are facing the same issues. Why turn an informative thread into a bashing when this one is already going?

I’ve always found it tasteless when people drag their issues with other posters from thread to thread instead of taking it to PM.

As someone who has at times learned from PB and other times been attacked, I find this whole thing sad. Dissecting past posts doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of COTH. It just serves as a reminder that unless you know a member IRL, always filter guidance or suggestions through a critical filter. While I don’t condone fake identities, I’m sure this entire unraveling has been distressing for whoever PB actually is behind it all. I wish them the best. If they come back under a different name, I hope they will use it as an opportunity for a new start to be genuine and compassionate towards others.

Amen to both counts. What’s the payoff in bashing someone who is obviously a bit off?

I hope s/he has someone to direct her to help.

You said it better. I’ve been at the receiving end of some of her posts but she also posted with a lot of knowledge. Maybe she made an alter to say what she really thought about people? Who knows? Maybe she forgot her login information and made a new one. That was the reason given for others who have two screen names and end up posting under both at times.

My opinion, the people who do dissect posts and drag the drama thread to thread are the ones that are not comfortable with their knowledge level. It’s hard to post on CoTH because of the amount of knowledge people here have.

The other side of bringing it up in another thread (in this particular case) is that knowing that the person they are answering is not sincere might affect what someone is saying to them. Even more so on a very personal topic. Sure, give some general good advice, but who wants to spend a large amount of time posting a well written emotional response to someone who is scamming them?
And sure, anyone could be scamming them, but that does not make it OK for us to let someone we know continue to scam.

Anyone I have seen do this has not had completely different personalities with each ID.
