Thank you for editing!!
There was nothing “simple” or innocent about hijacking another thread in the Help section with your question and nobody misunderstood it, no matter how much you try to portray yourself as the victim now. The only possible reason to do it was to complain about another poster without actually going as far as reporting them. You were already complaining about it here, why go bring it up over there too?
Surely you realize how childish it sounds to be running to the mods to tattle that someone said something “mean” about somebody else (not to mention hypocritical when you have said so many “mean” things yourself). I really don’t think people go wild every time you post, it’s just that so many of your posts come across as judgemental, superior, or lecturing and so often you post only to core t or criticize others, but then turn around and complain about someone else being “mean.” The internet hates a hypocrite and is usually quick to call one out.
And just because you personally haven’t had a bad experience with Csaper doesn’t negate all the very real bad experiences others have had. If you believe she has been kind on COTH then you haven’t read the relevant threads.
We’ve removed a large number of OT posts that were largely centered around personal commentary regarding posters past and present.
Let’s avoid that line of discussion going forward.
Thanks,

Apologies for being tardy to the party here, but I’ve only recently started following DH and am fairly horrified at her obvious thrill and glee in things going wrong at Tryon and the approaching weather. Her FB page now has 45K+ followers, though hardly any commenters or likes on her posts. I’ve only read this thread up to page 11, but will read the rest today. I’m assuming the reason she’s so bitter is further on in this post, but it reads to me that someone didn’t get her press accreditation and is now glorying in things going wrong. She’s deleting any comments from folks who are pointing out facts (oooo, scary facts) or disagreeing with her being such an out and out cow about WEG 2018.

Can these kinds of FB accounts be reported? I know if enough trouble is caused you can get permanently banned from Twitter! Maybe they have stricter rules.

No particular reason she’s so bitter and nasty - that’s just how she rolls. I’be been waiting for the venom to start pouring as soon as Jill Irving and Brittany Fraser qualified for the Canadian team. She has a particular hate on for both of them and every time they have a great ride a nasty post comes up. You can set your watch by it.
Her Facebook page has been reported dozens of times for bullying and many of the stolen videos she rebrands and posts on YouTube has her own have been reported too. It doesn’t seem to make a difference. The only effective strategy is to not give her the views and clicks she so desperately craves. Do not follow, like or share, and definitely don’t click on any videos because I’m sure she gets paid for each click. The more outrage and drama she stirs up, the more money she makes.
She seems to be a bitter, seriously nasty, and unstable person who failed to find success as a dressage rider. She’s nobody. Ignore her.

If a page has followers but no comments it means everyone has drifted away. I am sure I am following many many group sites that I don’t see from one month to the next.
As above, she is a troll and a nobody, who burned all her connections to the big league dressage world in Florida several years back.
I doubt she would get journalistic access anywhere these days.

It’s also an indication of a page that has bought fake followers to boost their numbers.

Is that crazy lady still out there? I quit following her a log time ago after a comment I made (that she didn’t like and then deleted my comment) on one of her posts. She only keeps up the negative comments and deletes a comment if you are trying to defend someone or the opposite of what she says. Negative, negative negative…nobody needs that.

Ok…I thought DH was all about “dressage awesomeness”. At least that was her Patreon pitch. So, one would expect “dressage awesomeness value add” to her coverage. And I am aware of the reasons why that can’t happen. So it appears by my quick boo of the site (and I am frugal with my clicks) that the only thing the site can do is report the weather and rehash any issues that are already reported in the news by reputable sources. Oh…and argue. It gets tired and boring.
It’s an exercise in axe grinding by an organ grinder’s mate.

Yeah, she started out well positioned in Florida to do a dressage news blog, but things quickly went sideways with her contacts there and she started using her platform to trash riders and trainers she was in dispute with. In summer 2017 she apparently went home to Edmonton, Canada. No idea where she lives now.
I imagine whatever claims she makes in her personal publicity are a legacy of her initial plans for the blog or fb or whatever, and not that accurate to what it has become.
Going toxic with blog posts has certainly paid off for many social media entrepreneurs in the past several years, but perhaps the horse community has no taste for an alt-right dressage blog, that runs on shock horror, invented facts, and personal attack. People are happy to read such things about politicians and celebrities that they will never see or meet, but the horse world is too small for that.
In other words I think she has shrunk to just an irritant, and is not a player in any real horse world discussion.

…or cobbled together mashups to prove her precious points. Good way to prevent lawsuits if these are available by subscription only.

That would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic. She was correct about one thing though - only 8 people care if the site keeps going :lol:
