I love the signature as well.

I visit boards to try to help those who need it, and advise on breeding/training/showing issues.

I can at times have a great negative feel, especially if I'm responding to threads that have to do with irresponsible breeding.

Bottom line, I don't think a forum with the true welfare of dogs at heart can be so restrictive that one cannot express negative sentiments to those who need to hear it.

I do think that just as in training dogs, the negative should be as minimal as possible and as effective as possible when it's necessary.

JMO as always.
