The first thing I will say is that I have never met Fugs, so my dislike is not caused by anything she did to me personally. I do not have any interesting Fugs did me wrong stories like YHI does. I do know someone who has met her. She is not impressed. When my friend met her, Fugs was complaining about a poster who critiqued her riding on the VLC blog. She was not happy and used foul language, including the c*nt word. All of this was done right in front of my friend's eleven year old daughter. That Fugs, what a class act!
I was a regular follower of FHOTD until mid-February of 2009. I did enjoy the blog for quite awhile after I started reading in late 2007. There was lots of good info and lots of really witty people on there, unfortunately, there was also alot of things put on there that were just plain cruel. Over time, well I just started getting a bad vibe from Fugs herself and I only stayed on because I had made some internet friends there, and while some of the posters were obviously "out there," many were truly good people. I was always amazed about how funny and clever so many posters were.
Based on reading Fugs, my opinion of her is that she is condescending, judgmental, opinionated to the point of inflexibility, a know-it-all who can't admit when she is wrong and she has a mean streak a mile wide. This bullshit that I continuosly hear from her, "don't dish it if you can't take it," well maybe she needs to heed her own words, cause she has proven many times that she can't. Do as I say, not as I do just doesn't friggin fly.
To those who are interested in what she said to me about my pacas that had me upset, here is what it was about. I freely admit that I started the whole thing, she was posting on the thread that was about Tiger Woods' problems. Frankly, I found it truly amusing and ironic because of her past and her stated morals or lack there of. I said just that in my PM. Please note that I did this all via PM. Of couse I got back the usual blah, blah, blah from her. It turned to how I only post nasty stuff like the advice I gave to Sarcasta about practicing without stirrups. We then went back and forth a bit about that with her saying I should post pics of myself riding. I told her I didn't know how to post pics on HD but gave her my blog address and told her to look in the older posts for some pics. In the meantime, she received a PM from a friend of mine that was less than nice, that apparently really pissed her off. She came back, said I was stupid because I didn't know how to post the pics on HD and said that after looking through three pages of dying Alpacas, she was put off. I am going to assume that she didn't follow my instructions so never did find the pics of me riding.
Now, theoretically, the words themselves weren't ugly, but the intent behind them was. She didn't mention the fact that she had to scroll through several pages of my Christmas tree first, she went straight for what is obviously a very painful thing that recently happened to me. Like I said, I did start shit with her via PM and even though I did not have anything to do with that other PM that was sent, it really isn't that surprising that she retaliated, however, never, no matter how much I hated someone or was angry at someone, would I ever go after their kids, family or animals to get back at them. As I previously mentioned, she has a mean streak a mile wide. I was truly surpised given her claim to being such an animal lover that she would stoop so low.
Anyway, she also said she was done with the silly conversation. I did respond but I am sure she didn't read it, that is why I made that post on the RIP thread.
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
