I have  gotten
endless criticism on my opinions or questions, with very little help  or
consideration.  Is that the way it should be?   NO!



It seems to me that we often read a post, and if we don't like  it, consider 
it negative or hostile. Ideas that do not mesh with ours can just  be 
someone's opinion.  Some people do not see things the way we do, and  that is a 
good 
thing. That is how we learn, and how we develop not only as a  race but as a 
person.
 
I posted something that seemed interesting to me, and got a  number of 
private posts saying I should shut up. I saw a number of public posts  
agreeing, and 
some disagreeing, that is how we discuss things.

The problem as pointed out is that often we post in the worst way. A  
question, an opinion, and a position does not have to be an attack. Most people 
 do 
not agree with me, and that is fine. I have a different way of looking at  
things, and I don't mind being a target. But, that is just me.
 

Don't confuse discussion and strong opinion with not  having fun.  We all 
enjoy this sport, our friends and mostly our  dogs.  When we disagree that is 
just another way of enjoying ourselves and  let's not lose sight of the fact 
that 
different opinions means progress, a  chance to learn, and the ability to 
change our minds. 

My opinion, on the other hand is always right, and you, of course have the  
right to disagree, if you don't mind being wrong.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.  And, yes, it is all fun  or I 
would just turn off the computer and go play with the dogs.
