Don't let posts get to you, as you say everyone has an opinion, right wrong or indifferent.
I am the first to admit I know very little about dogs in comparison to some forum members.
Occasionally I will read a thread and jump in feet first with my opinion, which may be controversial.
A prime example is regarding the Irish Staff. I'll take a look at the thread tomorrow, no doubt Sallyanne will put me straight in relation to fact.
If my information is out of date or I have been misinformed then I have learned something new.
Each one of us feels passionate about our dogs and I love this forum because members with problems large or small have someone there to support them and advise them.
I haven't been offended by any forum member yet, but there could be subjects or topics where it may happen but I doubt it.
The problem with posts as has previously been said you cannot tell the tone in which it is written.
I am not condoning any unnecessary personal attacks but I believe these are filtered out, as this forum is monitored.
