Hi Donna, wasn't it just one person that yapped on about Barbara? It was certainly in very bad taste, but, from what I read, most of the posts were from people who were outraged at the orig. post and were supporting Barbara. So, I don't think it is a bunch of "people" trying to strike down an icon, I think it was one person who has a major attitude problem (and grammatical problem too...lol). Or, did I miss something (been known to happen!) Merry Christmas to the list! Cynthia Donna <onaluzlead@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: OK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... First off, I can not believe, but why shouldn't I, that people on this list find it necessary to attack a Senior, Icon, Mentor, Member, Neighbor, Friend. Now, ever or especially the week of 2 major holidays when everyone is supposed to be doing the holiday/family thing. I came in from shopping and read some last night, thinking WHAT??? And now more this AM. WHAT HAPPENED TO ENCOURAGE NOT DISCOURAGE...WHAT AN EXAMPLE SOME HAVE SET FOR THE NEW PEOPLE... I can not believe the list admin didn't stop this personal attack immediately, God knows if I were to post on clients dogs, and not just my own...I get a warning and/or kicked off and then the nickname List Outlaw... I think that these personal business issues, are just that. WE all as breeders run our own business' the way we see fit. IF there is a problem...try to deal with it personally. Everyone eventually has a disagreement, misunderstanding and/or problem with someone...it's the integrity of the TWO people to work it out. COMPROMISE... We may not like someone we are forced to do some type of business with but it is the PROFESSIONALISM that makes it work. If it is unresolvable...try mediation at worse go to court... but DO NOT post to a list and try to publicly embarrass someone...did that make you win??? I don't know who or what started this, but in the name of the holidays...STOP. I hope she hasn't read all this, cause in knowing her this was extremely hurtful. Discussing topics on what situations if bad should have been enough for opinions/ideas to help you ... figure this out.
