Not only should people, judges included, follow the golden rule, but my personal goal in life is to do one good deed a day, either help someone somehow, or at least bring a smile to someone's face. sheila InquestGSD@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 3/13/2007 9:18:06 A.M.

Rude behavior on the part of a judge or exhibitor, should be punished in some way. We may not agree with the judge's decisions, but this is supposed to be a sport, and in a sport there will always be more losers than winners. The judge is supposed to command respect, rude behavior diminishes the respect due the person who is supposed to be an expert in that breed and will give newcomers to the sport the impression that show people in general are rude. This topic reminds me of my grandmother. She always asked people, do you want to be remember with respect, or disdain? Do you want to be feared or respected? Those words were puzzling to us as kids, but boy have they gained real meaning as I keep collecting birthdays. More things would be better is we all remember and apply The Golden Rule.
