Chazhound, I started this thread for many reasons, but mainly to LEARN. I belong to many pet websites, but really liked yours, as it seemed to have alot of information on every topic. As a new poster, I read alot of threads before posting, and thought I had addressed my question to someone who would be open, helpful, honest, and thought I had specifically asked someone who knew what they were talking about..... my bad
Now, after reading many of GW's posts, I have formed my opinion but feel as a member should let you know. Though I love this forum I am somewhat, no, really amazed at the leaniency towards GW. My original question was not only completely ignored by GW, but furthermore, it turned into her bashing several breeds, and mainly a mud slinging fest by GW with many personal insults. Thankfully, Red, and MOM addressed not only my questions, but were kind enough to offer more information and begin more educational threads. (Thank you very much you guys
The thread was completely hijacked by GW and used to insult many of your posters, their dogs, the sport of Conformation/Dog Shows, judges, etc. Nearly everyone, and everything was insulted and bashed by GW; so much so, that I nearly left the forum. I would have, had others not stuck to the topic, and even gone beyond by starting other related threads. Then to find out this poster was once banned for the same behaviour, and came back with another username and allowed to do the same again, over and over, it boggles the mind. I don't know how many don't post for fear of being bashed, and belittled by GW, but I do know I nearly left and wonder how many have because of her. People come her because they love their dogs, and because they want to learn. That is what I thought this forum was for! I thank you sincerely for giving us a place to do that, but must question why you would allow someone so hateful, insulting, demeaning, and outright rude chase away someone who may have actual valuable information to share! Believe me, she had me completely disalusioned about showing, and I'm sure if any judges would read this thread, wherein she clearly states many judges are "bought",
this forum can't grow into the informative, educational and fun place I'm sure you want it to be.
