Our posts are not just directed toward the OP but all current/future readers. And people make judgments of others they haven't met all the time from what they say they have done or say they are going to do as well as from their stated attitudes. And if it involves innocent dogs, readers have a serious responsibility to speak up if they feel it is unwise. And one never knows what the information-sharing, thought-provoking back-and-forth of a "heated" thread may net in the further understanding of responsible dog stewardship by any given reader. If just one inadvisable breeding is prevented, now or 10 years fom now, that is very important to me - and it's a big win.
