Yet, they always seemed to think they knew best. i gave up. people on here that have been on a while, know they can always count on me to help them. This is my last post in this thread and no doubt it will make some people mad but my thought is that unlesss you have walked in a breeders shoes, you have no business giving advice because believe me, reading what to do online or from a book does not prepare you for reality. |
This is true of any section. I could also
claim "there are people in Health/Diet and Sick/Emerg giving advice who have no business giving advice" -- many people feel that way.
Still, if I was one of the people who felt that way - I wouldn't let it run me off the section. I'd still voice my beliefs...that's just me.
The point is, I think people have to choose whether they really want to help those in need or not - no matter how much it might rub you the wrong way. I choose to help, even when everything in me is screaming.
