I always thought Lex was female and Bluey was male. Shows how much attention I actually pay to posters rather than posts...

Me too, that was a little bit of a mindwarp from this thread.

Can I out my sister? Her screenname is "Rescuepony"... while we do have a rescue, she rides a 17 hand Percheron/Morgan cross ... far from a pony!

I used to read me u pat (female deer) now it's just me up

Sorry double post! Too much wine and man beef

[ybiaw]

Oh man, this is good. Do you think we'll get a response from She Whose Pants Are On Fire?

[Alagirl]

ah, boo, no alters and drunk house guests....

[erniewalker]

I'm a chick. The "Ernie" comes from a joke in college, when someone tried to insult me by saying I looked like Ernest Bourgnine in drag.

Another confession: I don't actually look like Ernest Bourgnine in drag.

I do, however, have a big red rescue OTTB and an HR job in the horse world. I don't have the Appy anymore, though- he's now a therapy horse for a very nice family. My favourite colour is vodka, and I like rainy days, the number 8, and black licorice.

There- my conscience is clean.

Not likely. From what I've seen with others, liars that live in such a manner will usually just keep on keeping on or just change up their game when confronted or outed.

I just hope that you respect his life choices.

For some reason I always read meupatdoes as new potatoes. It's a weird brain glitch I guess.

meupatdoes I always read as meatandpotatoes , it's my Irish showing I suppose

Moopados sounds right to me.

Heh - I tend to reach it as "Medusa"

And I am not in the least bit moody, although I AM a doctor, just not an MD. I am a PhD. And truthfully, as hard as I had to work to get that degree, it does rather torque me to have someone misrepresent themselves with it. I do understand the desire to represent oneself as a little different online, though. It's sad, but understandable when your life isn't that interesting.

"maunder" actually means to wander aimlessly, which is what I like to do in the woods.

I thought "maunder" was something about "drivel"?

I have enjoyed many of Grataans posts. I'm still not sure how I feel about this "outing".

[Tamara in TN]

I too thought long ago that Lex was not male....
he corrected me. :>

[SmartAlex]

Wow, go off to fix dinner and what... 17 pages? Am I seeing this right? THis has to be the fastest growing thread ever.

Ah, I se now, started yesterday. How did I miss THIS?!? Beetlejuice has even had time to disappear completely.

[Crackerdog]

ME. TOO!

We could be great friends. I also enjoy your geese.

Thank you! I also really like my geese, they are funnier than most people I know and are always honest. Unlike the ducks who are always up to something.

[MunchingonHay]

this is exactly right.

But she didn't confirm what we are all frantic to know: Is Lex in fact "100% Manbeef"????? Is he as hot and tasty as C&C mentioned?

[Trevelyan96]

I must confess to identity theft. I'm not Trevelyan - he died in 2005. And I'm not really a middle aged weenie rider - I'm actually a majikal horse trainer who knows how to turn a perfectly dead quiet OTTB into a fire breathing, herdbound, nutcase in 3 years or less. And for the low price of just $199.95 I can teach you how to do the same.

To seriously address the original subject of this thread. You can read this as advice, a warning, or an explanation. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to be one in real life or on the internet - but 11 years of working for big law firms has taught me this regarding allegations of a serious nature - like masquerading as a licensed professional. Whether innocent or guilty, say nothing until you've spoken with your attorney.

It also can mean "to speak in a rambling manner". I suppose that could mean drivel. I prefer the wandering connotation...but I'm still Spartacus.

[cloudyandcallie]

OK here's my issue with this: Suppose a newbie had come on coth and saw that Grataan was a vet. And had PMed her for advice on how to treat a horse. We don't know what is said or recommended in such a situation. A new horse owner might think that a "vet" on a BB gives sound advice. And might follow it. Right or wrong.

So I think OP did the right thing. She first tried to talk to Grataan. Grataan got angry and jumped her at a show. (According to what I was told by OP.) Next was this thread, and OP tried not to put the name out on the thread, but others wanted that done. I PMed and got the name and info. If it had been in my area, I'd have checked out the vet boards website to see if she is/was a vet here.

OP said many nice things about Grataan in her PM to me. But she said that Grataan should not be holding herself out as a vet. I agree. I don't remember what the psychological syndrome is, our great forensic vet is deceased or I'd have called him, but I do know that it's wrong to hold herself out as a vet. I understand she was a good vet tech.

Right, good words to heed.
I think they are heeded..
