Here's to BREEDER LOVE!!!!
I am so glad that there appears to be some good "reflection" taking place in this thread.
IMO it is not all of a sudden that people are sensitive.....it is not about being overly sensitive in fact. It is about being kind and open minded and knowing how to get a point across w/o appearing overly harsh. There are many here who are good at this.....there are some who are not. It is not about winning or who is on your side or who agrees with you or whether you have 10,000 posts or 5.
It's about being sensitive enough to others to post in a positive instead of a negative way. even if your opinion is different, or you have something t educate about.
I think there are now more members who are willing to finally speak up and call some members out who have always posted in a rather "rude, arrogant, knowitall, my way or the hiway, only my opinion counts" kind of way.
This is not about breeders either...it happens in all areas of the board and on a lot of controversial and even non controversial topics.
People are not standing for it any more and I, for one, am so glad. I think this board can be an even better forum than it already is if we all start remembering that EVERYONE's opinion counts, everyone has value, it is not nice to ridicule or unfairly judge and it is always better to say something nice than to make fun of someone or say something mean. |
