Rough training week and starting to think the unthinkable

[x11]

ah the idealism of youth

In the old days, it was the elders telling us youth to behave and at least try to get along. (;

that was before the internet and social media :-)

I may have been born in the wrong era.

I just think that this is a forum, where we love dogs, share experience, teach, learn, etc. If someone was on the border, thinking to join, and saw this thread with all its negativity, would they do it? Especially if they are almost to the breaking point of rehoming? Or are just unsure overall? I know I wouldn't have joined if I saw this thread while I was on the fence.
It reflects badly on everyone involved. Op, the forum, those arguing for/against, those going in circles about unrelated topics... I love this forum. But threads like this are disappointing, discouraging to new people, and just not a true reflection of everyone's character.

This thread is getting pretty weird. Off to bed all of you!
