Cleaning House, Taking Out The Trash

You may have noticed that my blog has changed a bit. That's for two reasons. The first is because a certain social media star who started a premeditated attack on me back in March has been sending his "fan" over here to attack me. Now I know he told them on that video "don't go attack the breeder" but if I am to believe that the former president of the United States incited a riot by his speech on a certain day then why should I not believe that a certain social media star was inciting his own riot? Especially considering he started this whole thing with the multiple videos he's made about me and my puppy over the last few months. And we all know this man lives on controversy. There was the "Tractor Supply" controversy. And the "Hunters" controversy. And just recently he picked a fight with a local store in his town. I mean really, you have to wonder about a person that lives off of bringing pain to others and siccing his fans on innocent people, even inciting them to give death threats as they did to the poor bear hunter. I know, he says he's not responsible for what his fans say and do. But I don't buy it. As I've said before, Words Matter, and his words are causing all kids of harm to all kinds of people and animals. And that is not OK with me. 

So all day today I have been fielding attacks from some truly nasty people, ever since their guru said "don't go attack the breeder" (wink, wink). You children have all had your fun. It's time for the grownups to speak. Yes, I have deleted your nasty comments. It's my blog. I can do whatever I want. Most of the comments I deleted were rude and out of line. Things like "You're a liar" and other baseless claims that prove nothing. Lots of cussing and threats and stuff that would make a pack of middle schoolers blush. I also deleted some comments that just rehashed things I have already explained until I'm blue in the face. All the info is there in my blog posts. There's no need for me to explain it again. I assume most of you can read, even though videos seem to be your thing. So instead of addressing 150 comments that asked what I already answered I deleted them. My prerogative.

Now if you had legitimate questions and comments and I deleted them I am sorry. It was all just too much and I do actually have a farm to run, and a life. If you have legitimate and POLITE questions to ask that I haven't already addressed in the blog posts I will be happy to answer them if you will post them again. I'm sorry to have to make you type them again but you can blame the insurgents who ruined it for everyone. I DID change the setting to where I have to give approval for comments, again, because a few bad apples spoil it for everyone. Or in this case, a lot of bad apples. Funny How I've had this blog for several years but never had to turn on approval until the "call to action" sent the flying monkeys to my website.

Does anyone think there is a correlation between the kind of "fans" or "friends" a person attracts and his character? Or the kind of videos (controversial) he prefers to post? Or the sheer number of fights he picks? Interesting.....

Now I need to stress here that since I had to turn on approval for comments I will be declining comments I feel are antagonistic, redundant or a waste of my time. I don't know if you all realize it or not but I do have a farm and a business to run. I also have a husband, 6 kids and 12 grandkids, and assorted other family members and they need my attention, too. I can't spend all my time fielding comments I feel are not worth bothering with or are downright hostile. I am going to reserve the right to "just say no" to bullies, trouble makers and crazy people. If you want to cause a riot keep that on his channel. It doesn't belong here. This platform is for adults and well-behaved children.

Comments I Will Not Be Approving:

• Rude, hateful or inflammatory comments
• Comments that attack me personally
• Comments that ask questions that are already answered in my posts
• Comments that ask me to point out a timestamp, or some such silliness. We all know he didn't outright call her all those bad things. He even said no, she's really not all those things. But anyone with a brain can see that what he says and what he means are not the same thing. And if you can't see that I can't help you. And I don't like arguing with brick walls. 
• Comments that are just attempts to waste my time or attack me.
• Any other comments I feel are inappropriate or a waste of time.

I also moved a bunch of my old blog posts over here. I started with one blog a couple of years ago, never did much with it, then decided to split it into two blogs, one for goats and one for dogs. But I raise my goats and dogs in a symbiotic relationship so it makes sense to have one blog for both. Plus sometimes I might want to write about a horse, or a chicken or something else entirely. Maybe even bear hunters. So I am going to have one blog, the Prancing Pony Farm Blog. Right now I'm leaving the old goat blog up, until I can get all the posts completely moved over. I moved the text but moving photos and videos on Weebly is a bit more complicated so I'll get to that later. But for now we are under construction. But I have a lot of great new posts planned so I'll be back soon. As soon as I take out the trash. ​
