| Effective communication Some people think with logic and some think with feelings and neither way is better - just different. I, for example, am a logic person. I understand things and communicate that understanding via logic which is not always construed as "nice" to a feeling person because truth is often blunt. In my opinion, one should adapt their feelings towards truth - not the other way around. Yet, social intelligence is important especially on a forum where all sorts of personalities converge. What good is logic without the ability to express it so that it can be shared with and learned by others? So, I have to ensure that I try very hard to come across as understanding AND logical. I must understand that not everything is logical and feelings can be the most illogical of all things. However, without the compassion of a feeling person, my logical statements would not always be well tolerated. Albert Einstein said, "Gravitation is not responsible for falling in love." We all need each other to grow. So, LOGICIANS, if you state a fact, try to do so compassionately. FEELERS, if someone states a fact, try to see it as good intent rather than an attack on your character. Give and take is key to effective communication. I think someone stated in an earlier post that we all care about the dogs. That's the thing to remember. We can learn from each other so that our dogs benefit from our knowledge and our love. Drinks on me. |

| SirTeddykins...... cheers to you! That was the most amazing post of this entire thread. It should be a sticky note, right up on the front page. Thank you for your superlative analogy of communication that we can all benefit from understanding, especially in internet discussions.

| I believe as many have said in this post..there are many people-numbers unknown, that no longer post , because of the negative interaction. They may read, but they will not comment any more.. I think that after a long day at work getting beat up, who wants to deal with more of the same? But the education and help is certainly invaluable. AZkaty

| I've grown to dread this thread. I stay out of any medical threads because, I'm not qualified, have nothing constructive to offer. LOL I also, because of the response I received here, would never ask a medical/dental question unless I wanted only a SECOND opinion to what I already knew from other sources. No secret, I only hold my grudge against the one. The others are merely followers. I have chosen to simply ignore whatever negativity that the followers displayed and I do comment on some of their threads. There are a lot of good people here. We can post nearly anything. I appreciated the comments while working through the choices for dog food fairly recently... Much better than this other forum all about dog food. I was disappointed in the direction the nutritionist thread went. Once the one posted there, it was doomed! LOL My main thoughts about YT are there is lots of room here for nearly any discussion you would like to hold. Stick around, post it up, just because someone disagrees with you is no reason to leave. |
