The name calling, the back stabbing, the piling on.... The way I was brought up, you were invited to have an opinion AFTER you had a clear understanding of the facts. Sad that's not the case anymore, isn't it? Funny how some of the harshest critics of our board aren't even members, no? Intelligent people can read our bylaws and come away with two very different opinions. That's worth debating. Posts referencing bullets in heads, asking board members (who have given tens of years of service to this club and breed) how they can sleep at night, suggesting boycotting judges...that IMO is nonsense. I actually like the word "blather' too. It fits. I'm not suggesting you agree with me. I'm busy deleting nonsense and "puppy mill" stuff. I didn't need the Hunte situation to know mills are bad. I read Black Beauty when I was six and knew then that animals all too frequently suffer at the hands of man. I've done what I can and I'll continue. The need will be there long after this situation is resolved.
