Well said, Evan, especially the part about the 10%! There is a lot of negativity in this sport. While it is difficult to avoid, a person need not focus on it! I think there are two things to focus on when it comes to gsd people: The first is to guard one's own speech and behavior. The second is to surround oneself with other members of the 10%.

Now we know why Zoe and her List has survived and the steps taken to protect the members. Over the years we have lost some interesting posters, but in the end the integrity and safety of The List has come first. For that we thank Zoe and all those who have helped to make this List what it is. As for being slandered, most of those who read that sort of thing, are not the people you would be dealing with anyway. There are some involved in our sport that are downright nasty, hostile, angry, frustrated and stupid. The other 10% are just great.
