Norma,
This is very true but I don't believe it is this List or the times. It is
much more likely the medium by which we are communicating.
This is a common problem in the business world. Because the Internet allows
us to communicate from our own private and somewhat anonymous environment,
it empowers people to say things they would never say face-to-face. Sadly,
the worse of the human race comes up and you see hostile, aggressive, rude and
unkind comments. The business rule of thumb is that before you send anything
on an e-mail, pretend that it is printed in the front page of your local
newspaper - if after that mental image you are satisfied with what you wrote,
send it. Of course, it would help if we could live by the principle of "do
unto others as you would like them to do unto you."
Fortunately, you seldom see this behavior at dog shows and for the most part
we show the kinder, better part of us.
Dania
