This message is from: "lassesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Joel,
I don't know if you just like to try to stir up manure or if you are an anti-social person all together. We (the people at the DC Evaluation) tried very hard to have you join us in the fun and festivities at the farm and welcomed you with open arms. You selected to stay away, keep your distance and be a very silent watcher of the events that happen at our farm that weekend. I was taught that if you have a complaint and know more about a subject than others that you step up and put your words into action and DO SOMETHING other than complain about the situation. That is how people become involved and help one another out and how we share and learn. By your last comments, you must have the expertise in an area that you saw was lacking in the NFHR Evaluation System. A system that is built by the members for the members and that is a growing and learning system. I challenge you to come up with the proper expert system to properly evaluate this breed so that we are not "dopes on a rope". I offer to you a chance to come to my farm (or the next place we offer a West Coast Fjord Forum) as the Expert in this Field and teach us "dopes" your "perfect system". I offer the same to anyone that feels that our system is not correct. Step up to the plate and teach us how to do it better. Do not complain your way thru life but lead us to the better. Lead by becoming involved in our organization. If you have a expertise... then make it known and open your mouth to get involved... Joel I know, You do not have favorable thoughts about me personally, though I do not know what I have ever done to deserve these thoughts from you. I do know that you carry a very negative attitude with you and for that I am sorry. I am sorry that I nor the event that we hosted could not match your expectations and your expertise. I am sorry that I could not turn you around and have you join us in friendship and fellowship with the people that were there to celebrate this wonderful breed and the wonderful gathering we had. It is a shame that we could not enjoy your wisdom and your positive self that I know must be within you. At this time of year when giving and caring is so important and when the best of the human race should be out and about...I find it sad that you are so hurt, angry and sad. I wish for you a better day, a better week and a better Holiday than you are having. I wish for you a happy heart. I still challenge you to teach and lead rather than sit and be prissy about the things in your life.
