"I can speak on this too...I use to be a part of a CTR newsgroup and they were brutal...they argued all the time...at ridecamp there are opinions voiced and disputes but I have yet to see anyone get very nasty. I love it here. In fact, it is ride camp that has sparked such an interest in my joining endurance rather than CTR. So I am going to volunteer this weekend and see what endurance is all about. I'll be in Sonoita, Arizona...hope to see some of you there!"
 
 
I have pretty much given up on CTR also.  I've been doing AERC LD's this year and have really enjoyed them and not found one rude person so far.  The Central Region group is a wonderful group of people to know and ride with.  I did a couple LD rides in the 90's also.  Due to some of the ugliness in that CTR group, and some extreme ugliness directed towards my husband, I've found I'm not inclined to participate in a sport who's members would stoop this low.  It's a long story related to my husband, but several individuals started a smear campagin against him (in June 2005) and his previous cutting, reining, show career, and one individual went as far as posting this "smear" under someone else's identity on the Reg. 4 discussion list, and this same person started calling different breed associations trying to verify his record because she wanted  to say he'd "lied" about his record.  Little did they know that he has relationships at these organizations and they either sent e-mails or phoned to let us know someone was snooping around in his business, and also who it was. Yes, it was brutal and uncalled for--a stroke of character assassination at it's worst!  And, yes I am still bitter knowing that these individuals in this group is capable of this sort of thing.  Sorry Reg. 4 folks if this upsets you, but it's true, this happened and at the time no one stepped forward to stop these ugly posts from going on to that list or stop the person behind them.
