The following quotes are taken verbatim from the Appaloosa talk page. They are made by editors who self identified themselves as female. To my knowledge they have never been admonished or cautioned for these very questionable remarks. I on the other hand find myself permanently blocked by ""dreadstar"". The nature of dread star's gender is immaterial to the obvious fact that I am being subjected to a double standard of scrutiny and punishment because I don't have a second X chromosome.  Or do you claim that this is also a ""fringe theory""?
I hope this matter can be settled here without recourse to an appeal to higher scrutiny. And I want either my edit restored as a just and rightful response to this rather catty calumny, Or I want these feminine offenses to common manners to be equally expunged

""The Daily Mail presents Engstrom's theory that ""American-born Scott always believed they came from Asia across the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia"" As Ealdgyth points out with links to scientific literature, that assertion is simply patent nonsense and WP:FRINGE.""

""The Daily Mail (such an expert source) also presents Engstrom's theory that there are ""fewer than 200 true Appaloosas left in the world"". That is also patent nonsense: The Appaloosa museum explains that there were about 200 officially registered Appaloosas in 1947. By 1978 there were 300,000 (living and deceased of course). Today there are 635,000. This breed isn't even close to ""rare."" ""
""But Scott has often questioned this history because she thinks the numbers of spotted horses that were in the Pacific north-west part of America when [explorers] Lewis and Clark first made their way over the Rockies in the early 1800s didn’t quite tally with her experience of being a breeder. She said there were too many of them for that to be the case, so she’d always had this theory that maybe horses had come across the Pacific into America by a different route."" ... THAT is a fringe theory. ""
