Bold, straight forward honesty is not the same as ridicule, insults, harassment, and condemnation, and should not be considered or misinterpreted as such.....
I try to be careful when responding to qst/comments, but will admit I sometimes see 'red' and perhaps need to pause and take a deep breath before posting reply. I do, however, very much agree with Yorkiemom1 in that wearing kid gloves and molly-coddling (uh-oh, showing my age again) the super-sensitive types isn't going to help anyone---least of all, and most important, the canines. Personally, in my year or so of reading this site, I've seen very, very few--very, very harsh posts; and while I have read some rather scathing comments, those are usually in response to being 'attacked' by confused individual who inappropriately went on the offense and evidently needed simple easy-to-understand clarification (redundant, yes, but part of my point). |
