Yep, it's sad really, but the kind of climate that is allowed over there puts everyone on defense, on edge, like
"When's the attack or off-color remark coming?"
Hell, I just had a guy register here last night, and his very first post was a foul-mouthed, expletive attack on Wildside. Now, I may not be a big fan of Ed either, but that is not the point. The point is a nasty, foul climate versus a calm, reasoned climate. It is one thing to say honestly,
"So-and-so's dogs didn't work out for me," versus saying,
"That lying @#%$! only sells cur %#@$&!!" The first is a non-inflammatory statement of the poster's honest experiences; the latter is an irrational, emotionally-charged outburst that is guaranteed to light a thread on fire. It isn't even a true statement, because any half-way decent breeder breeds his share of good dogs too. NOBODY breeds "only" curs, if he expects to stay in business for awhile, and Ed has bred his share of Champion dogs also.
And it's the same thing with a thread like this. Telling a man his wife "is attractive" is a respectful compliment; taking it beyond that, with some kind of off-color comment, becomes a disrespectful advance that is (again) going to light a thread on fire and create volatile feelings.
Anyway, I am rambling, but you can best be sure that all low-class comments/people will be ruthlessly culled out of here, because if they're not removed immediately it's like leaving a rotten apple in a barrel: if you leave it in there all the apples will rapidly get spoiled and ruined also. And that just isn't going to be allowed to happen here.
In the end, it will take all of us awhile to "get over" the negative, rude, wise-ass atmosphere of PedsOnline ... but when that mindset finally wears-off and disappears we will all be better off just enjoying a friendly, respectful atmosphere again 8-)
