I am sorry if I offended someone
« on: October 10, 2005, 04:02:31 am »
I was notified that many complaints were filed against me protesting the way I respond to the posts.   ???  I have no idea what could trigger this reaction, but I am very sorry for the result.

If someone, please, point the details out to me - I sure will appreciate it. It sure looks like today is a bad day for complaints - maybe just a fluke?  ??? ??? ???

What!!! You too!!! Now THIS is annoying.  Who is complaining so much?  If they don't like certain members, THEY can either ignore their posts or leave.  You just joined Yelena Levitina.

BTW, if somebody complains about this post, don't kick my mother (Good Hope) off the board; I can stop posting.

Well I want to know how many of us are offending how many people because I got the same message.

What is going on here????
Interesting...It seems that the people who know what they are talking about & are straight to the point are being targeted...I am sorry...I must say that I am getting irritated by this whole matter.

Yelena, how in the world could you have offended someone?  You just got here.   ???  ???

And for everyone else, what is this a conspiracy?  Sure, some of the posters have been quite frank, and if I had been the original poster, I may have been somewhat offended, but I certainly wouldn't have complained about them.  To each his own, I always say.

Good Lord, this is getting out of control.  Is someone offended by people being knowledgable?  Because those seem to be the only kind people getting censored.  What is going on??   ???

You know the reason I really like BPO is because there is good advise to be had here by people who try to make a difference in the dog world...I wouldn't be happy if this became another sugar coat everything you say no matter how serious the matter site.

Looks like you hit the nail on a head. Sad, I think even on a general "nice, warm a comfortable" message board like that one pet dog owners can make use and benefit information from people who researching sertain breeds, working, showing, breeding the dogs.

I hope it is not the case of jealocy or competing for attention - sort of "someone is writing interesting information about the breed and no one is paying attention to my cute dog for the moment - lets complain about them and get them off this board".

Yelena, I just went through ALL your posts and could'nt find anything that would even remotely resemble offensive.

It does seem like the breeders, and the more knowledgable members are being targeted.

I got a private message from Bear on this board and sat in my chair stunned for a while.
