The "NO RED INK" Club

I want to play but ummm the "no red ink" club would not include me...although I was given the opportunity to change my post myself. []

Ooooh, so close, but sorry you are disqualified.

[]
 
LOL...close but no cigar, eh?  ...close only counts in horse shoes & hand grenades! []

LOL Denise!

I qualify!! Shockingly, as I had a thread closed.... BUT, it was re-opened. No red-ink was used []

Poor TAO... well, what's it 5 yrs of no sex before you become a "virgin" again? What time frame are we looking at here?

I have had one red ink so I guess that means I`m out too.
 
The post was going down hill real fast and I just stated that so maybe people would be nice. My reply was off topic so away it went away and was replaced with red ink. Off Topic. I was off topic yes but I feel I was on topic on where the post was heading.
 
You should have posted this a week or so ago and I would be a member.

Well, I'm a member! Of course, I just joined the board yesterday! [sm=lol.gif]

But I try VERY hard to follow the rules when I'm in someone else's house, so I think I'll be a member for a good long time.

Secrets for success?
1. Talk about the subject, not the members.
2. Talk about what I do or what I would do instead of telling someone else what they should do.
That's pretty much it.

I know it's easy to get emotional about something most of us consider a "passion". But it's important to remember that telling someone how to raise their dog is akin to telling them how to raise their child. And that's not usually welcomed with open arms. [] Especially if it's unsolicited advice implying that what they're doing is horribly wrong and going to ruin their dog (or kid) for life!  [sm=biggrin.gif]  For some reason, people don't like to hear that...

Drama happens. And I actually like a little drama now and then, truth be told. But what's important to remember is that even if I totally disagree with someone, I don't have to hate them or publicly humiliate them or make them wrong. In fact, I have lots of cyber-friends with whom I TOTALLY disagree... They're not raising my dogs, so why should I care? Who knows? I may be wrong. (Nah..)

I haven't been red-inked, yet, I must be doing something wrong.[]

Welcome to THE CLUB![sm=dance.gif] Maybe there should be a time limit and maybe 'off topic' should not be a disqualifier. Hmmmm? I think we should let it stand at NO RED INK for now and see just how many of us there really are. It could get really lonely[sm=cry.gif] We may need to include "PINK INKS" LOL!

Welcome to THE CLUB. Thanks for the great post.
2 days and counting. Let's hear it for FourIsCompany[sm=bravo.gif]

My first actual red ink I bear with pride: I said something not entirely nice (though really I didn't think it was all that rude) to someone who presented a picture of his chained-up dogs and asked what breed mix one was so he could breed them together and know what to sell the puppies as. I'm proud to be red inked for that cause and I certainly won't take back what I said.

I think my other red inks have been "topic moved" or "off topic" ones.

Welcome Ron. To be honest I didn't expect to see you here LOL. Just goes to show you can express a lot of strong, passionate opinions without stepping over the line.

houndlove, well you are certainly a candidate for "PINK INKS".

Yeah, but there's no telling how many times I may have skated on thin ice. What helps me is to remember that I don't want to fight, just reason and help. It's a lot of work on my part. My upbringing is to be confrontational, even if that's not what I am wanting. So, I work around my limitations. But who knows? The day is not over, yet. I could still get some red ink.

Becareful out there!
