Same complaint, different angle! Everyone is complaining about wanting the same things here, really.
So, based upon that, maybe we can try to agree that at the end of the day, we're really *more* on the same page here than not...???
It could really be *so* simple, in my opinion. Be respectful in disagreeing, don't disparage sources, leave emotions at the door. |
I agree that it's never fair to insult the OP or another poster. I think it's okay to criticize sources, but if we do, we should be careful and respectful in explaining why we are doing it, and try to provide a better alternative, if one is available (hence the discussion of Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionists). And of course the OP and others should feel free to respectfully disagree with our criticisms.
And... we have to stop insulting the sources for the sake of insulting them. I admit that I was guilty of that in a certain post about margaritas that was off topic and deleted. It was an attempt at humor, but it WAS a little insulting to the Dog Food Advisor. It was not directed at the OP at all, and if the OP thought it wasn't funny or thought it was directed at them, I apologize. But yes, we're really more on the same page here than not. We just want what's best for our dogs.
