Present-day proponents of subordinating horses by force

[P0M:] It is extremely difficult to make sense of discussions when writers do not sign their posting. "I rewrote the article" could mean many different things. "You" (Rossami?) rewrote which article? P0M 14:01, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Present-day proponents of subordinating horses by force - Huh? RickK 04:11, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I think I created this page. I did the article on the "breaking" of horses and somebody claimed it was not NPOV because it did not include the views of people who favor doing things the "bronc buster" way. I would have included more information on that approach, especially since people still used it (and I've seen it used locally by a "rancher" who makes a business of raising, training, etc. horses), but I have never seen anybody who advocates/admits the use of the method in print. Delete it (i.e., Present-day proponents of subordinating horses by force) if you will. If somebody wants to describe how they abuse horses I guess they can make and link their own article.

 * Have you ever heard of a rodeo? If the wiki is going to write a politically correct article on every subject, I am going to hurt myself laughing ;) Sam Spade 04:48, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Gee, Sam, you wouldn't happen to know the politically correct terms for "flank strap" or "hotshot," would you? I can appreciate your concern about hurting yourself laughing. Just hope you're not a rodeo animal in your next reincarnation. Denni
 * I was making a serious comment, to which Same Spade responded in a very "Sam Spade" manner (you will know what that is if you ever listened to the radio program by that name). Why not do as I suggest, eliminate the empty article. Put the onus entirely on anyone who wants to write an article on how s/he traumatizes horses into submission. P0M 03:39, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * Perhaps your question is warranted. I am never sure of how to satisfy the multitude of demands for NPOV and for objective and for "knowing the way of the world" articles. P0M
 * Put horse breaking, this page and the other related pages on the Clean-up list. After they've been thoroughly worked over, revisit the VfD question for any of the pages (if any) that are no longer necessary.  (Sorry, P0M.  I'm sure there's good content on the pages, but I can't make heads or tails of it.  From the discussion page, neither can others.  The creation of this page gives the appearance that the edit process for "horse breaking" fell into a straw man fallacy, but I can't be sure.)  Rossami 23:58, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
 * I rewrote the article completely, based on the pioneering work of Monty Roberts. I read his book 5 years ago, and saw both movies.
 * Who are you?

P0M 03:49, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC): Let's just delete the blank article.
