That is just plain wrong. Kind of like, " I EXHIBIT, therefore I am a better breeder and have better dogs than you". |
I understand where you are coming from 100%.
Fortunately, I have met show breeders from both ends of the spectrum, both on and off this forum, so I know that this is not the mindset of ALL of them.
simonandhallie~All I can say is you must be one tired lady when it's time to go to bed at night. I don't know how you and the other mods do it all!
I have done alot more reading than posting lately and have really
tried to post in a less abbrasive manner. What I have found is that the line between posting your true opinion in a respectful way and coming accross as just plain rude is a very fine one. It's also very hard to sit by and ignore things that you know are posted just to offend and hurt--these posts usually are related to greater, usually childish, issues that are being delt with off the board as well that many members would probably never even recognize for the way they were truly intended.
I have found it much easier to just completely avoid threads where members that I know I dislike or can't get along with are already very involved in.
I will remain, like you, hopeful that this 'era' at YT will pass soon. Thanks for the reminder and the great job you do!
