My apologies- I deleted the today's hot topic

I am so sorry! I tried to delete an offensive post and removed the entire thread. I didn't mean to hamper your free speech in any way. My deepest apologies to SAR and everyone else who responded on the post.

Jaime,
 Maybe it was for the best, things were getting really hot and I for one felt very stressed reading the posts. I guess I could have just stopped but it's like  a car wreck, you just gotta look even if you don't want to. 
I'm going to go out on a limb here and offer some friendly advice.  When I write a post, I read it through a couple of times and think "how would I like it if someone said that to me?" I found out that even kidding can sometimes be misunderstood.  Since we have all ages, genders, generations ect here, it sometimes causes clashes.  I don't always like the way somethings are said, but I try to find the message inside.  I am not young and I have been through some unbelievable things in my life so I try to have tolerance and understanding for all types.  Sometimes the enthusiasm of youth can get the best of you and things kind of get blurted out that seem quite mean.  And sometimes expertise and age get the best of some people and they come across as unfeeling.  I don't think that the meaness is on purpose and I don't think anyone here is unfeeling.  Remember that words are weapons that can hurt, Take care with your words.
     I for one have gained something from each and everyone I have come across on this board :)

As I said before, Rocky you are great!  Absolutely dead on!  Everybody here is great!  We've all learned something from each other!  I think you have to look behind the words at the intent.  We all care about the dogs!
