also stunned to see that no one lodged a protest against this horse owner.
i understand that the reasoning behind it was that since he's not an AERC
member, the protest and resulting sanctions wouldn't do much good. i'm not
sure what sanctions are available to the committee, however, i'd think that
if only for the sole reason to make a point and bring this to the attention
of others would be a sufficient reason to lodge the
protest
Help me here - was not the person who lodged the COMPLAINT against
the alleged attacker also not a member? If so, then of course AERC must then
allow someone to be sanctioned or banned whether they are a member or not. If
one enters a ride, there is a record of them and if so, then it is possible if
annoying to spend a few minutes before each ride checking riders against AERC
suspension records, even if it means someone goes to ride and signs up at the
ride, then the RM finds them on a no-ride list and tells them to go home.
Perhaps said rider, after sucking up a few ride fees would A. stop coming or B.
stop abusing. There are methods and there are ways - if only there is the
desire. It is patently unfair to be able to lodge a complaint if not a member
but not have one lodged AGAINST a non-member.
