loosing members ????

Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed 300 lessons completed

Have any of you wondered why we are loosing and have lost members of the UNI.
I have been and I am concerned. Perhaps we are too harsh with our critisium or not asking the right questions.
Giving answers to some of the questions has been difficult and some of the questions have the answers in the videos available, directions sometimes is all that is needed.
Sharing our knowledge and experience should be accepted with open arms but sadly some take great offence or give information that is very questionable.
I'm sorry guys but I won't be posting anymore and probably not reading anything anymore either. It reminds me too much of childish schoolground arguments.
Some of you I will really miss, you know who you are.
Take care and be safe,

This makes me sad, Ronda. Yes I have noticed that we are loosing members but surely this doesn't mean that you should be lost too? You have made so many valuable contributions which we have all enjoyed reading and learning from. I am not sure what has upset you but please reconsider as your contributions are truly valued. We would miss hearing from you and Star so much - hardly worthwhile me re-joining this year if you go as I have watched all the videos of direct interest to me now!

Oh ronda please don't go! I have really valued your contributions and encouragement to me personally and feel it would be a huge loss to the forum if you decide to go. Maybe some people have run out of subscription and cannot afford to renew? I don't know what has happened that has upset you either but it is the immature, argumentative ones that should leave...not you! I know maggie and i had a difference of opinion in one of my posts but i am so pleased that it was resolved and no ill feelings are present there. I agree with you that knowledge and experience should be recieved gladly....i know i have personally gained a lot from you and some of the other experienced horsemen/women on the uni. As Maggie said, PLEASE reconsider!!

I second that. Ronda, I have really felt like you are a friend, although I havent been here long. I have been so interested in everything about Star and you have such good insights. I am sure there are a lot of us who want you to stay. I agree, the arguments need to stop, they arent helpful, but Ronda, YOU are! Every day I look for your posts and have enjoyed every one of them. I worried myself sick over Star when she was sick, I feel like you are a friend.

Thank you for your kind words and I appreciate them
My email address is posted and if you would like to keep in touch with me you are invited to do so.
My subscription has not run out. I will still be watching the videos and the lesson notes. I just don't want to argue with anyone, it just upsets me.

I'm sorry if you choose to stay silent, Ronda.
If there are, as you say, people who leave questionable advice, you are leaving the space wide open for them.
Stay safe, and my best wishes to you and Star. :)

Ronda,
Please don't go, I love reading your posts so much! I agree some of the info on here can be questionable, and there are some silly aurguments, but you don't have to take part in them. We would all hate to see you go:(

@madison, I've been talking to her through email, and she said that she's a little busy to talk on the forum. Not sure if she will return at the moment, she's busy with Star.
