Hey everyone... I just wanted to post a reminder about the site rules. Please keep in mind that debates and disagreements are okay here, but personal attacks and insults are not.
When heated discussions are brought to my attention,as administrator it is not always clearwhich direction a thread is going... there is often a very fine line between a healthy debate and a personal argument. I think we need to keep in mind that when someone disgrees, that doesn't necessarilymean it's a personal insult.
I'm not sure a thread should be removed just because a portion of our community doesn't agree with it.... where is the line betweenbeing open toideas and debates and shutting out something just because we don't like it? We pride ourselveson being more open minded, accepting,and "different" than the other rottweiler forums, but at the same time we're quick to shut out anything that's a little different. At what point are we too comfortable that we become one of those forums?
This is just something to think about, and it is not directed at any one specifically.
Please feel free replywith your thoughts.
