Effective immediately we will no longer allow personal attacks of any kind in the breed forums, general forum or training forum. If your attack is preceded or followed by the words you, your, yourself, you're it will be deleted and you will receive a PM. Arguing with the mods about any edit or deletion will not be tolerated. Cute writing to avoid the personalization of an attack will still be deleted and if your attack is sarcasm it will still be deleted. (internet sarcasm is not something the mods will try and discern)

If you would like to attack members feel free to sign up for one of the many other forums on the web or head over to OT for your daily fix.

We encourage healthy debate about the issue and not attacks on our members. We also will discourage people who bait others to attack.

If you are unsure of the definition of an attack here is a good link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks

New people are not going to post here if they fear being attacked.

As a matter of polite and effective discourse, comments should not be personalized. That is, they should be directed at content and actions rather than people. In disputes, the word "you" should be avoided when possible.

This thread is an announcement and not meant for comment, if you would like to comment please send me a PM.

Thank you,
Site Management

We would love to hear from members privately about this new direction. Good or bad. Bump.
