Get it right!

You know I see this all the time on ridecamp. Somebody writes something and
it is taken totally out of context. Next thing you know a big STUPID FIGHT
breaks out about the topic and if the original replier had only read the
thing right the first time it could of been advoided. What is it about
horse people that they feel they always have to flex the mental muscle at
the expense of others? People, try reading the post more then once and then
maybe there would be a lot less bashing on this list and more time for the
fair exchange of valuable information. Example follows:

NOTICE THE LAST SENTANCE: She said DATELINE not Monty!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read
this post as saying DATELINE is the one implying that all others are MORONS,
not Monty. Now I am sure my post will flare the tempers of people who did
not read it correctly! So hey flare away!

IT appears to me that Dee was bashing DATELINE Kat, not MONTY!!!!!
