I completely understand why so many people are upset over yesterday's ring procedure. A friend mentioned to me that an important part of the show for many exhibitors is "to make the cut." I've been there, and yes ... making the cut is a big deal. Freedom of speech is important, and I agree people should be able to voice their opinions, not just ones I or anyone else agree with. If a post is just to hurt someone's feelings, it should be eliminated. But, if someone wants to disagree with me, or anyone else, that is the American way. Remember, I and so many others can say they made the last cut at this years national.
