[quote user="spiritdogs"]It allows him to dodge the bullet[/quote] Oh? ... so who's doing the shooting and why? Millan states, clearly and repeatedly, that he trains people . His idols are Dr Wayne Dyer and Tony Robbins. His plans include founding organizations for empowering 3rd world...

OK, first of all I don't HATE CM. ANd I do AGREE with some of the stuff he says/does, but here we are concentrating on WHY we dislike/criticise him, so here I go: The reaction he inspires (both +ve AND -ve). I find myself thinking "Get a grip! He's just a celebrity for gawd's sake!"...

One more thing I wanted to add... Assumptions. Both "sides" of this issue (Pro-CM and Anti-CM) make assumption about the other side. And we know what making assumptions makes of us all. I'm going to list some of the assumptions that I can see being made in these discussions. Some of these...

So, I've picked out what I think answers the metaphor of the Original Post. Why do people so strongly dislike Cesar Millan and actively seek to discredit and criticize him and his methods?

Maybe this is a good place to point something out. (And could we not make this thread about members here and what their qualifications are??? Please??? The rush to judge all +R proponents by the words of one extreme view is just silly! It's stereotyping and worthless and WAY off topic. And there's...

[quote user="cat0"]I challenge anyone to post the same thread with their own name substituted.[/quote] I would gladly begin a thread entitled Reward: Ixas_girl (Dead or Alive) , but imagine it would be immediately, and rightly, Moderated. I also don't feel that what I have to say has ever...

[quote user="FourIsCompany"]Anyway, I think the reason people hate him is fairly simple. And it's just my opinion. They disagree with him.They think he's wrong. They think he hurts dogs. Additionally, he's got a forum to speak to and influence many millions of people. That threatens...
