What if... we all worried more about the way we responded individually to posts rather than trying to be the hall monitors controlling everyone elses ...
What if ... we realized that people will have differences of opinions, different ideas and different ways of expressing them.
What if... we grew up enough to realize that someone having a different opinion or way of dealing with/saying something than you is NOT a form of bullying...but telling someone they don't have the right or aren't welcome to state their opinion IS...
What if...we remembered that the internet is never a substitute for the hands on examination of a qualified professional (be it vet, behaviorist or breeding mentor.)
What if... we remembered that only the Admin and Mods have any right to tell another member that their response was rude or out of line.
What if... we all felt free to not only express our thoughts and opinions in the manner that best reflects our beliefs without fear of reprisal from the polite police...and, in addition, take or leave the advice that is given here in accordance to our own values...
Just a thought.
