Word to the Wise: Lesson Reminder for Everyone

sadly knowing who PO is hasn’t improved my life any. Dang…

I quoted bristol who outed the PO…

Are you guys freaking serious?!

We have no way of knowing that BTDT is really with the PO in Vegas and that the PO is okay with being formally outed. How is it okay to post the member name of the real PO?

Everyone needs to take a step back from their keyboards.

I hope your realize this is funny coming from the person who on page 1 (or was it 2) said they were leaving this thread and not coming back and then ended up (at this point) having the 5th highest post count in the thread.

I do agree that it was not appropriate for someone to decide to out who they determined was the real pony owner.

Oh, how original! Because participating on a thread where all parties are anonymous is exactly the same as outing someone on a public BB.

I would love it if you could point out where I posted any identifying information about either the OP or the PO. I’ll wait while you pull that post up for me.

It’s one thing to enjoy a trainwreck online and a totally separate thing to out someone who has had the good sense to not involve themselves on a Google-able internet pile on that could affect their business.

nah, lets go back to the beginning. French Fry is the REAL PO. If not, PO is her best friend! :lol:

Just warning you all that I’m having a bad day at work and am not going to think the accusations of being the PO are as cute this time around! :smiley:

So, no: I don’t understand the OP’s bizarre sense of entitlement, or her supporters’ apparent feeling that she was somehow cheated here.

I mean seriously - nobody owes anybody else a free horse. I don’t care if the OP drove for 5 days through the Badlands without water. Behaving rashly was entirely her own choice, and nobody owes her just because she decided to do something stupid.

Your missing the point.

“Hi, I’m coming to pick up x.”
It doesn’t matter what x cost or what x is. The point is if you know people are investing time and effort into that process, then it is poor to let them believe they can pick up x, if there is a chance that is not possible. And then to add conditions that were not discussed before. Your forgetting the pony may have left with a saddle purchase.
That simple.
It would be like going to pick up a horse you thought you were going to buy and the seller decided to up the price when you got there. And you flew.
The PO has admitted that there was an issue on her side, which is decent.

Psssst, French Fry, I agreed with you that it was wrong to name someone.

The other part was just continuing the jab about you leaving and you not leaving, ya know, something we joked about earlier in the thread.
Note I only quoted the one line.

Hey, I left for 20-some odd pages at a stretch, is it my fault that apparently when most of COTH is involved in a train wreck all the other threads suffer? :lol:

I’m getting out of here before this thread turns into the trainwreck it was clearly intended to be.[/QUOTE]

Is this the real PO or an imposter!?!?![/QUOTE]

Evidently it is wrong to put two and two together and then reveal the answer. I edited my original post that you quoted, so if you edit yours, then no one else will read post 135, search through join dates, and figure out who PO is and then post the answer.

Or you could just peruse the WC forum and figure it out from there. Or all of BTDTs posts on this thread…

I’m not sure why you’re repeating a joke trubandloki already made?

I guess you don’t understand the difference between being okay with participating on a thread that doesn’t publicly identify someone and not being okay with one that outs someone without their permission?

Good job!

Beer and brats on me when we get to 50 pages.

Holy Wow! I missed a whole like 20 pages! Sigh…I am off to figure out what is going on! :slight_smile:

I want to know how one counts posts per thread and if I’m winning. I do so love to win.

(FWIW, I am a semi-responsible, employed adult. I just a) work weird hours and b) have been out sick all week. Please don’t think of as a jobless bum!)

Ah, ponies.

Here is a question…

I wonder how many BNR’s will get off their horses after competition at the world cup, go kick back with their laptops, and read this thread. While eating guac from Chipotle.

Some are on COTH, we all know it!

So a BNR is reading a thread about PO who is watching them ride at World Cup while we all debate PO OP.
