First of all, let me say, there is no excuse for a seasoned member coming down on a newbie asking a question. We were all newbies at one time or another.
The thing I have a problem with is when anyone complains about a seasoned member coming down on a newbie that is causing problems, baiting us, and/or ignoring sound advice without responding to it.
If you post a question or problem, know that we all care about your dog and want only the best for him or her. When you act in the manor described above you turn us off and make us wonder how well you are treating your little one and how well you can comprehend his or her problem.
If I tick any of you off I would appreciate a PM telling me so along with an explanation of your own feelings.
My last comment is aimed at those who attack.......try a little kindness before you go wild. I admit to going off on a member from time to time and am trying hard to keep out of all the bickering I read but it isn't easy seeing my friends giving good sound advice and then being called names in return for their kindness. |
