The best way is to ask what is meant rather that jumping on a persons personal opinion.. Yes freedom of speech and all that but honestly you all come on here because of the same reason.. You love your pets and want to talk about them.. 
edited to say..
And you all don't know everything.. but you can certainly help each other with your knowledge. |
You just about hit the nail on the head i'd say. Speaking for myself I am not by no means to to gain brownie points and become Miss Forum Popularity 2008, I am her solely to gain knowledge, experience and pick the brains of those wiser to enable me to both understand my dogs better and to therefore become a better owner. If I can make a few buddys on the way then thats a bonus. A big big problem with me is that I only seem to half read something, I then jump in with both feet, often with both guns blazing. I blame the forum set up - it should be fitted with a delay button
But you are so so right, as I have said before I do not like to think that I have or shall ever be disrepectful to another member.
