I'm not "against" docking per say. I just don't like it. I would own a dog with a docked tail, so it's nothing like that. I think the little nubs are cute.

I just find the procedure totally POINTLESS. Simply to appease what humans think looks better or cuter. Stupid reason to chop off a dogs tail in my opinion. And I do understand it's a standard so I do see why AKC breeders do it but that still doesn't make me think it's not stupid.
You expect me not to take offense to "I think thats the dumbest reasoning" to my quote.

Did you read my other posts...not just for sanitary reasons. By all means-go read on.
