Sandbagging to Avoid a Win

[Chuck Duncan]

I've never sandbagged or been effected by someone doing it, but I think it has gotten to be a problem.  I don't know how you could prove it or what should be done, but it seems dishonest to me and can adversely affect other riders. If you don't want to win, do time only, ride a training horse, or don't enter the match. If there's nothing wrong with sandbagging, why not just announce to everyone that you plan to do it. See what I mean, it's dishonest.

You are correct R.D. there is no documentation. It was your forum, you started it, and when you were backed into a corner you couldn't get yourself out of, you deleted it. But do you honestly believe that people who participated in it have forgotten it, just because you destroyed the evidence. My biggest accomplishment in Mounted Shooting is the friends I have made all across the nation. They either like or dislike me for who I am right now, because none of these people knew me over 10 years ago. I am secure in who I am, I don't need to lean on any past accomplishments I have made regardless of how major or minor they may be, to impress people. If they are going to accept me then they can accept me for who I am now, not who I was. I am not a legend in my own mind. When I met you in Vicksburg you were a fairly likable fellow, but when we ate supper together in Arkansas you became an expert on every subject that was brought up at the table. You failed to impress me that night and you fail to impress me now with the name dropping and the big stories of the past. I lied, I think not, I think everything I say can be verified by the other members who were there. Maybe Ken can tell us if the old forum might still be in the archives. Either way, I have come to believe that you either thrive in the attention you get because of the controversy or you honestly believe everything you say. But please, believable or not, carry on, your exploits are extremely entertaining.

Don't worry, Kerry. Terry says he's only met you twice and still he likes you.

[Kerry Southern]

Tell Terry he don't know how good that makes me feel.

 

[Kerry Southern]

Course he hasn't had the opertunity to sit around the campfire and listen to some of the lies...er a tall tales I can produce.

[Jennifer Key]

I will be sure to let him borrow the high waders I wear when venturing into this forum. It can get deep around here. :-)

Just so ya'll know I'm proud to say Kerry is my friend, has been for a long time and I'd trust him with my billfold, my wife and anything else I treasure. He like others on this site display what or who they truly are and we are all capable of making our own decisions who we chose to claim as our friends. Any day any time I'll stand with Kerry, Marty,Mike, Bonnie, Lexie, Cheryl, Chuck, Cindy, Jennifer, Pattie, and the many others I feel to be true honest people, horse people. I don't abide BS or name dropping to impress, if you got to tell me how great you are then I probably ain't gonna think much of your impression of yourself. Everyone has to do or say what they think is right, if you can live with what you do or say so can I, just don't expect me to believe or accept it.

To use an RD type cliche, my daughter ask me one time how I always knew when she was lying, and I said, Baby, there are only so many lies to be told and once you have heard them all then the next time you hear them you know it is a lie. Jokes and lies haven't changed much in my life time, some different variations, but basically the same.

Tell you what guys, I'll cut 25 pounds off that 30 pound bass I caught if ya'll will blow out that lantern you found still burning in that Spanish galleon you found while scuba diving.

[Marty Luffman]

I can feel your pain, RD.  I felt the same way in Indiana when my horse got out both nights. You came up grinning , both times, and shook my hand.  Ttold me you had heard my horse was out. I ask  you if you turned him out and you just grinned bigger and told me that I wouldn't ever know.  These are the facts.

In Florida, my RV got vandalized and the front tires were flattened during the dinner.  you came up to my table and sat down beside me. Just grinning.  Someone came in and ask me what happened to it and you just looked at me with a big grin.  I ask you if you did it and you said, I dont guess you will ever know.

I dont need any documentation because I know that you don't know the difference between the Medal of Honor and a cheap piece of tin and ribbon. you may have been in the Marines, but you are not a Marine. 

I have kept a file on all the hate mail you have sent me, calling me names,and trashing my horse, and trashing my cloths.   you have an obsession with me and it has finally become public.

So, Yea, RD.  I can feel your pain right and right now, you finally snapped, and I am feeling like I just got an overall win.

[Dottie McDonald Linville]

RD!  What a Putz.....evil indeed.  Those four are probably the finest representatives of upstanding people I know.  They have more integrity in their little fingers than you have in your entire body. 

 

My husband is a retired marine, 20 years he put in, and he is more decorated than you spout.  He does not go around blowing his horn, dropping names to get attention, nor does he feel he has too.  Shame on you and your bad attitude.  Take it elsewhere. 

[Wildkatts Kitty / Bonnie Jorgenson]

That besides being a great faller offer, that Kerry is exceptionally intelligent !!!  :0p

[Cheryl Yaws]

This just keeps getting better and better.

[Kerry Southern]

Sorry Chuck we moved off course a little, but I agreed with you earlier it has been a great conversation but had about run its course and has now moved to other entertainment. I felt I needed to correct you in your opening because you have been effected by someone sandbagging. You see my trickriding faller off in DeRidder was to make sure I didn't upstage you in the competion at your own shoot, so I guess that would be sandbagging. I didn't want to brag about it but since I was feeling a little "RD" today I thought I would. Happy Thanksgiving buddy.

[Wildkatts Kitty / Bonnie Jorgenson]

Chuck if you close this discussion no one else can post. Those insulted are not children and do not need defending. But with it closed (not deleted) there will be a date and time stamp on all posts including this one in a couple of days and Admin. might need it someday. :0)  It was a great discussion before it all went sideways and you got people thinking and talking. I hope we get more like that during the slow time this winter.

Thanks !

Bonnie
