The biggest problem is with the medium. We can't see a smile, a twinkle in the
eye, a tone of voice, or perhaps a response when we answer. Let's not
criticize others with ideas that we don't agree with, but rather appreciate
that they take time to give an opinion.
I, like Daphne, get attacked quite a bit. I appreciate that someone cares
enough about what I say or do to even think about me. I want to listen, to
consider, and perhaps to learn.
I was involved for the past three years in a big contentious piece of
litigation. We finally started trial, and after the plaintiff put on their
case, I was able to get the court to strike the testimony. Yesterday after a
10 hour meeting, we settled the case. We, the attorneys disagreed, has some
real heated discussions, but never lost sight of the fact that we had differing
views.
That is how it should be on this List. I encourage everyone to give opinions,
and I urge everyone to listen, consider, and respond, but never attack.

I have read the post of Sarah and she came across saying that "American Lines"
had the pastern problems, she NEVER saw bad pasterns in the German/Working
lines. That kind of attitude is attacking and accusatory. If you really want
to learn then do so. I go to a lot of shows I don't see American Show dogs
having down pasterns. There may be a few that don't have the greatest feet but
there is no perfect dog, German, American or whatever. Down pasterns in
puppies is common and I can't believe german/working lines don't have that in
their puppies sometimes. There were some people who were trying to educate her
but she seemed like she had her mind made up. The people who breed American
Show lines breed the bad pasterns. ummm noooo. Everyone has their opinion its
how you express it that either irritates people or not.

I agree with you 100% Ed. Too often some on this list just “attack” and
that is just plain not nice. If the club wants younger folks to be there when
we are all gone, then maybe they should be nicer to them and mentor them
without attacking them. Just my opinion of course, because some of those same
people seem to get some sense of joy out of attacking me.

We talk about growing the club with new young members! Sarah is exactly
what we need! 30 years from now most of US won't be here, but Sarah will! New
folks on the list sometimes go through a "learning curve" most of us know the
spoken and unspoken protocols we navigate to communicate with complete
strangers so to speak! Sarah appears to be strong willed and opinionated and
that could be said about 95% of most of the active posters on this list! Agree
or disagree with her is not the point! We need to be somewhat gentle with newer
members of the list.. It's okay to slam old farts like me! If we scare off
all the new folks pretty soon we'll just have Me and Evan posting all day
telling everyone insane, trivial , and useless things! How fun is that! We need
to cut the new folks some slack! Even though Sarah is a Patriot fan I'm
willing to over look it! FB
