"Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you. - Frank Barron"
I like the quote very much and totally agree with the OP.  Forum discussion can be a difficult place especially when questions/ answers are expressed into words. Not everyone has a knack for good clear communication.  I know I even have that problem when I speak .  They are some who have a tongue and cheek manner of replying, some with more empathy , and some who say it like it is. Hopefully, the intelligence and resilience also from the receiver part to cipher the good, bad and ugly of the topic in question is not too much to ask.

Oh I forgot to add, "internet trolls"  those are the uglies.  Don't feed the trolls, just ignore.

GREAT POST PL

RS,


    Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you. - Frank Barron

I have never heard this before, it is very true.....Yet sometimes this is the first thing people try to do.

I personally like Phil and his commits. I would not change him for the world,....Phil is Phil.

You won't find anyone like him in the world....Also Moon is Moon....Jim is Jim....Max is....????

You are correct
There are a few on this Forum who should be banned, they are not really interested in the Breed but here just to stir the Shit,
That is where the Mods should step in but they do not.  They simply wipe out a thread without warning,
What they should be doing is that if they see a Poster starting trouble, they should come out in print and say who it is and warn them of their conduct as in another thread going on now.
That is what a Mod should be doing But i doubt that will ever happen

Thanks Max,,,,,the check is in the mail

Phil,
          Your welcome.....also Steve1 is Steve1.

      My favorite Steve1 quote..."Max ....you are a young Bugger..!!"

the "Bugger" part concerns me........

Why does Phil's name keep coming up? 

Just for the record, I have no problem with Phil, or anyone else for that matter.

The reason I posted this is because some people tend to forget that when your posting a message they can accidentally imply something they don't mean. You cannot hear or feel the tone of the message, unlike having the person in front of you where you can hear or see them smile or grin as they say it. Hope that makes sense. 

As far as the Trolls go, I don't know how others train their dogs, but we never reward bad behavior with our dogs, why do it with Trolls? 

We can't control their actions, but we can control our reactions. Ignore them and they will go back under their little bridge where they belong.

 I want to ad this to the professionals:

Please be aware and always remember that this is an international forum, it is not a forum for North Americans only, it seems that many assume that all members have the same facilities as in the States which is not true. Some of the professionals get caught in fights and quarrels and forget that they have silent people closely following on their posts. I have also noticed that the professionals forget that sometimes there is a language barrier and start attacking the info seeker which is wrong. Some professionals from the work line make bloody attacks on the show GSD and or show enthusiasts and that hurts.
