I understand how yorkiekist got that interpretation, but I don't think that was what was meant...I just think it was taken the wrong way. THIS TIME. However, it's pretty common for comments condemning the US and those who still dock and seeing comparisons of the US vs European nations when this subject is brought up and sometime they are downright insulting. That being the case, it tends to have people a bit on edge and just waiting to see when it's going to come out whenever this subject it brought up.
As far as why the "good" breeders refrain from posting, I think in many cases, that has more to do with comments made in the Breeders section, not something like this thread.
