Vicka don't let it bother you, it's just par for the course. It would appear some are uncomfortable having a polite discussion with an intelligent person who may question or suggest an alternative thought process while on a path to gain knowledge.... so they resort to personal attacks in an effort to silence them. It is really sad that some see their opinion as being the ONLY acceptable opinion and can't accpet any discussion of a differing opinon without resorting to rude and personal attacks. I've enjoyed your thoughts on semantics it's been educational for me, someone who is barely able to get my thoughts put down in words! On the pony vs. horse thing, as I've said before I really don't care what people want to call them. I prefer to call them horse, as pony for most brings an image of a small, lightly built equine not capable of carrying an adult, suitable only for a child or a cart.
