Due to decreasing use over the years, I have decided to disable the forum functionality of the site.

Forums will still be available to view but new posts are no longer allowed.

grullo with dapples?

Still in her winter coat, but whats with the dapples? I've had her since she was a yearling and have MANY pics of all her different shades. Both sire and dam were grullo. I have been curious about getting her tested. Should I test for cream? What exactly SHOULD I test for?

Aaaaaaaarrrrggghhh! *shudders*
I had a *bad* experience with that person at EC. B was being extremely snarky and rubbed me the wrong way, so I responded in similar snark and Got. My. Butt. Chewed. But. [i]Gooood.[/i] by an EC Mod because B couldn't handle having her snark handed right back at her and totally jumped off the deep end with an explosive and foul-mouthed tirade that resulted in banishment.
Oh, yeah. [i]That's[/i] a memory I enjoy pulling out every now and then.... Not.

Heidi when was that?? My memory is that [i]I[/i] was the one being snarky back to Branik and [i]you[/i] were trying to be the voice of reason asking me to back off. And we were without a moderator at that point so the whole thing just kind of blew over eventually. Maybe Branik came back for round two while I wasn't around...

No, it was at least two or three years ago. At least the time I got into it with Branik was that long ago. I'm not sure about the time Heidi is referring to.

Heidi Tue, 05/19/2009 - 15:05

I'm very fuzzy about the time-frame. I think it had to've been about 2yrs ago, maybe?

B was getting very snarky, I think she may have been directing this particular snark of hers at ACC? And I was getting tired of B's snarky and holier-than-thou BS and handed her own words right back at her; she said something like [i]'your mother must not have loved you because blah-blah-blah'[/i] and when I directed that particular statement right back at her, All Heck broke loose and her mouth just ran with it in a fierce and foul-mouthed diatribe. Really foul. Like Navy shipyard and the ship fell on the Admiral's head, foul.

Perhaps EC never had mods, but a longtime member contacted me via PM and chewed my butt UP one side and DOWN the other.
So, yeah. Because B was unable to keep a handle on herself, *I* got a butt-chewing. Plenty of hard feelings, there. Would I have done things differently? No. ...but you can bet your "bippy" I'd have choosen my words with more care!

Your most recent post is correct Heidi. The member you speak of was not a mod, but was/is respected just as much. We were without moderation at the time. I had several PMs myself asking me to drop the case... yeah like I was going to do that.

Sara if I'm not mistaken, this particular incident happened when you were taking a break from the forum for a while. When you came back I brought it up to you and you told me about another incident that had happened before I'd ever joined the forum. So there are at least two separate time.

I'm not sure if Branik knew it or not, but she and I had run ins at other forums as well. I knew who she was when the whole thing started.

Something I find funny... the person who started the whole battle I was involved in (the one who brought the topic to my attention) who was "best friends" with Branik... well she apparently forgot who I was. I got a PM from her a couple months ago and she was just as nice as could be and wanted to invite me to join some group. I politely declined knowing I would not be willing to join it but not wanting to start anything by reminding her who I was. I thought it was hilarious.

Okay, yes, I remember you telling me that story now ACC. (When I am not here, by the way, it usually means I've got something really troubling going on in my life. When things are going poorly in real life I tend to lash out online so when I see it happening I self-moderate my forum use...) I can hardly imagine that there was a NASTIER blow-up with Branik than the one I witnessed. Wow.

Are we in agreement that she is not welcome here or does she get another chance if she shows up?

accphotography Tue, 05/19/2009 - 15:49

Well her post to Heidi was about 10 paragraphs long and easily 80% of it was straight out, foul cussing.

IMO, I've seen her in enough places and spoken to enough people who have seen her in even more places to know she's not going to change... I say no. However I will leave that to Admin. If she wants to give her a shot, ok. I have no doubt she will have no problem giving her the swift boot if she becomes a problem again.

That's right now I remember..I was so gobsmacked by the language and wondered why she didn't get nuked straight away!

critterkeeper Fri, 06/05/2009 - 17:33

As do I. I remember my first reaction to all the foul language (most were 4-letter, some were longer :oops: :shock: ) was, "I don't let my husband talk like that around me, I am certainly not going to "read it" on a forum..." :evil: I quit that thread and pulled back from the forum for a while...nobody needs to be subjected to that kind of behavior :sad (and imho, there is NO excuse for it, medical or otherwise).
