I'm not at all a fan of black Labs.

But that's just me. And I admit, it's an unfair biased due to a an unfortunate incident in the past.
I think that Jack Russells can be entertaining...for a short period of time. Most that I've been around were very active and got on my nerves after a while.
I have nothing agains Pits, but I'm extra cautious of them. Simply because 'you never know' what kind of owner, breeding and training they have. Not their fault, just the unfortunate circumstance of falling into the wrong hands.
(And just my .02 cents, I think didn't find the thread offensive, even the posts about Pekes, which I love and have owned in the past. It's just converstation and people's opinions and preferences...just IMO. I don't think it was MEANT to offend.)
