No Fred, you did not say "he was booted". You said he "dug himself a hole, and we won't be hearing from him again unless he wants to come up and see the light". Which, sounds like "booted" to me. Maybe I need to comprehend better, or maybe you need to be more clear.?.
Now I feel like I'm getting "a talking to" from you, for my post. The thickness of my skin is just fine, but you seem irritated that I "don't have anything better to talk about". Maybe you should take your own advice Fred.
Digger made an informative and useful contribution. I does not matter whether I personally like it or not. The fact is, his contribution was not telling anyone what they should do, but what he has done. Several people, (including you), had different ideas regarding first-aid essentials, and that's fine. BTW, Nothing on his list would prevent you, or anyone, from experiencing the "adventure" of trail riding.
And Criswell's reply of "Really?... blah, blah, blah..." was a strong suggestion that Digger was full of BS, in relating his own experiences, and added nothing but negativity to a constructive conversation.
And yeah, I will now carry anti-diarrhea tabs, so I can experience the adventure of eating at a roadside taco stand, and not fall victim to a pantload of poop for the ride home. LOL
Warren

Did I say he was booted? His comments were offensive and against the
list rules. Just because he posts a message you like doesn t give him
rights to do what he did. This is a public forum and I would ask those
here to treat each other with the respect that they would want.
If you ask a question, you should be able to handle the answers that you
get. They may not be what you wanted to hear or expected but you should
not tell that person to shut up just because you don t agree with what they have
to say. If you have thin skin, you may feel better by not participating in
public forums.
If Digger wants to apologize for his outburst, I can take him off moderated
status and we can all move on. It s his choice.
Don t we have anything better to talk about here than what someone else
said?

Contents?
So, what does Digger need to do to "come up and see the light"? I thought his
post on first-aid options was a thoughtful and useful contribution. "I" may not
carry all the items he lists, but from his offering I found several items that I
had not considered. I guess it is up to the reader to "take from it what you
will".Reading through the discussion, it did seem that some listers could
only reply by picking his post apart, and questioning his integrity in relating
HIS real life experiences. I know "STFU" is not appropriate, but I can imagine
his frustration in posting a useful contribution, and having his credibility
questioned.Obviously, I don't know how the conversation went for Digger
getting booted. Maybe a reprimand, but hopefully an invitation to participate
with a better understanding of the "terms of use"...--- In mailto:DSN_KLR650%40yahoogroups.com,
