I have been reading peoples post's on the forum and have noticed a distinct increase in club members posting genuine questions as they are unsure of situations or need sum advice on a situation and reciving no help just several people having rants at them and talking down to them.
I thought that was the point of the forum was to pose questions or ask for advice not to be worried about what they are asking incase some body starts having a go at them.

Sorry to hear you only had one reply Roxy, I'm like Deb, if I feel that I have something to offer I will reply, but if I have no idea I don't reply.
I agree the forum is a place to put your suggestions and questions, but sometimes people can be rather insensitive to the feelings of others when replying. Maybe we all need to just stop for a second and think about how we have phrased something which could be construed as criticism. After all we all want the best for our dogs, and if we knew the answers we wouldn't be asking the questions in the first place. I'm sure we all want this site to remain the friendly place it was always intended to be where like minded people can exchange views, make friends, get advice and exchange stories.
Lets keep it nice and cool guys. xxx

I am now dying to see what advice you give them.

As I said before this is not aimed at anybody in specific but if the cap fits wear it!!!!!
The only advice that i would give people is to speak to there vets as they are the experts.

My response was not intended to put anyone down. I find it distressing when dogs are taken from rescue homes only to be returned a short time later. When taking dogs from a rescue home you must expect the dog to have some problems. YOu must be prepared to deal with those problems. The important thing here is the dog not the person.

The point of a forum, in my opinion, is that we can express our opinions freely.

This was not aimed at anybody in specific and I whole heartedly agree with it is all about the dogs however as we are the owners looking for the answers to help protect them surelly the best way to get a point across would be politly without a rant or belittling people and making them feel alienated from the forum as from writing this blog a number of people have confided in myself and said that is how they feel.
