    I'm rather glad that I missed the thread that started THIS one.  When I initially posted, I thought this was just a general "why" sort of thread.

    I vaguely remember the member we are discussing and I certainly hope that person is no longer on the forum and being flamed again for something that happened so long ago.

    Glenda, not being able to accept and move on...is actually another very important issue. Sometime folks seem to have such a hard time when they step over a line and are called on it...that they never seem able to move past it, and that's a shame.

    Move on...move up...move forward. No idea who first came up with that concept but it's a very good one...something dogs live by to a certain extent...good example I think.

    I agree with you...old news, about someone no longer present to even answer back.

    Gina,

     In the years I've been involved with the forum I've never seen anything fall by the wayside and not come back around at one point or another but then again I guess we're enabling them :) keeping it on topic..hehehehe

    Zip it!  Are you propositioning me? 

    FTR, I'm not that kind of girl.  I 'might' have been that kind of girl in the past, but I've determined that I'm too old to live like that any more! Big Smile

    Now this is what happens when good girls go to bed early! You miss all the fun.

    I support Glenda's right to be spanked, but wait, that could hurt and it's so wrong on so many levels. You should seek help. No, your adult you can make your own decisions, and I support those decisions, unless of course it goes against everything I stand for.

    Hmmm....

    about someone no longer present to even answer back.

    That person's situation was just an example of members enabling lousy ownership. She was not the only lousy owner that tried to get support for her lousy decisions, there are a couple members today that fall into that category and that are very active in this wide dog forum right now.
