But seriously, how long has Judy been providing information and still the trolls come on to argue? How do you capture someone's attention if they are determined not to listen? How do you shock them and make them sit up and pay attention? I've been learning things for years on Judy's lists and at no time did I feel alienated, disrespected, demeaned or undermined. Stupid after the fact yes, and wishing I "knew then what I know now" type of thing....but still a better horse person for the experience.. Wanda happily riding my ponies...
