Recently I put my SWPA results on a well known shetland pony forum. Thought nothing of it and put quote "well done so and so" thought there was no harm in that. Someone else see's that comment and tell's me I will upset some people with that remark. Just giving me a friendly warning, well really this is getting all to silly for words. From now on will not put any more results on there.

I totally agree, it all gets a bit out of hand sometimes! I've been told by my daughter that I've used some of the 'smileys' in the wrong context and that some people can take things differently! I now always get her to put our results on but at the end of the day, does it really matter? I do hope it has not put you off putting your results on ANY of the Forums! However you want to write something down and in whatever context is entirely up to you!

SWPA welcomes hearing about people success - so feel free to keep posting on here.
PS some educational authorities might just label that sort of behaviour "verbal bullying"

As a mod of the site in question i can confirm that if anything is reported to me that slightly upsets anyone i will remove it...i assist the site based on a zero tolerance regarding any verbal bullying The site has banned some members for silly comments and are quite happy to ban some more loll
I have also been the butt of forum gossip and horrid remarks so i know how it feels - hence why i offer my services to the site owner to help keep things in the manner it should be - Informitive - Helpful - and a social place to enjoy and share success etc I cannot do anything about it if someone contacts you directly regarding your posts - but rest assured if it is on the forum i will sort it
I always think of forums as double sided swords..it is just about fab if everyone is kind and genuine in comments but on the otherside of the sword it gives some who dont have anything better to say a chance to be unkind to others Success in showing always seems to bring out the green eyed monster in some people...never been any different as i am sure Med will confirm and the more you win the worse it gets loll............You always know when you are doing very well..people will start to be unkind about you behind your back...
Sorry to go on but i would like to make it quite clear i have not permitted any comments on SPW to go unmodified - I am always happy to help dymonds regardless of what others might say ...loll

Jem the friendly warming was by phone. I have taken action by not going any shows in that area this year. That is how strongly I feel about all this - tough action but the right one. Now I just want to get on with showing. Just wanted to say I was not getting at the shetland forum in anyway.

Well said Jem and how very, very true! I have taken action by not going any shows in that area this year. That is how strongly I feel about all this - tough action but the right one. Voting with your feet is the only solution! No competitors - no show! See you Good Friday Tessa - and lets hope for a result as good as the last one!

Action speak louder than words. We are hoping to be there on Friday with Ming (rubbing her winter coat out like mad, driving me nuts). May bring Colleen Sox or Honey not sure and Liberty my home bred. Hope to see you all there. Don't know how we will do just wait and see.
