One case that comes to mind is the young HS girl from Ireland that commited suicide after being bullied by other HS students - via the internet. I guess someone forgot to tell her it wouldn't hurt so bad if she just turned off the computer.
How can we judge how severe our words hurt someone else? Is there a gauge somewhere that tells us just how far we can go? Not that I know of.
Calling people names - hurts. Some more than others - but they all hurt!
No one is dictating to anyone how they should post - only that there are times that people are crossing the line - and it needs to stop.
Yes, there are going to be times that people disagree - and it's ok to disagree... but it's not ok to take it to the extremes that it has been. It's just NOT ok.
This forum IS big enough for everyone. It does not consist of just 6 members. If someone wants to add to the discussion - they have every right to - as long as it's respectful.
Some people are knowledgable about breeding - some about showing - some on rescues - and some on medical. But there is definitely more than one in each category and they all have the right to participate and offer their experiences or opinions - whatever that may be - without the fear of humiliation from a few that think they're the only ones with any knowledge or experience.

I really need to ask you at this point why you have quoted my post at least 3 times and are specifically targeting what I said? I've seen my email notifications and when I have come back to the thread your posts along with my quoted post have been removed. Do you have a specific issue with me because if you do then I suggest if it is burning so badly to PM me directly. Since it has already been decided on 3 different occasion to remove your previous posts then why are you continuing?
