I agree- my Father use to say " IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE- PUT A SOCK IN IT THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR YOU MAKE AN A__ OUT OF YOUR SELF"

Raul, what is the point you are trying to get across? Biting my tongue, not to be an ass. What is you point?
That sounds like something a person would bring up at bible study or something. Don't get me wrong but your opening post sounds kind of gay. "Loving one another". We accept and deal with one another primarily because of the hobby. We meet and make friends. I personally don't log into RollerPigeon.com for the religion.

Bricksfall, I know exactly what Raul's point is. This is a Roller site, people come here to get good sound advice about their Rollers and this hobby, not to listen to a bunch of people bickering back and forth and judging each other. If a person has an issue with sombody else's birds, settle it like men, get a judge and put them in the air. Otherwise, the personal attacks have no place hear. I wish Tony would keep all that stuff off of here.

James you havnt even been on this site for a few days and you are already deligating as to whats hot and whats not,this site has its ups and downs,just as any other roller site,the bickering you see here is nothing compared to what it use to be in the past,let it go,Tony knows how to sort these things out,he has done it many times before.i belong to many roller forums,and every forum has bickering,and usually the big mouths who want to deligate gets kicked off,so i suggest you stop complaining about the bickering,if things needs to be sorted out,Tony will do it!

Hey James, I think you and I both agree to Raul's point. Now as to what to keep off the site is a bit more tricky. For every action I take, seems regardless of what it is, I please one half and PO the other half more or less. So simply removing and editing posts is not necessarily going to solve anything.
Now I see a difference between debating (arguing) points of view, hashing the details and just getting nasty at one another. I tend to favor people presenting their positions and defending them against scrutiny as apposed to the feminine position of all opinions are equally valid (not).
For example, over the years, I have learned to place a high value on Scott's' opinions and views on judging, some other things not so much.
Now if Joe Blow who is a champion rabbit breeder and who is new to rollers, reads a few posts here and there, and now wishes to wax on about the finer points of judging rollers, he is really prematurely dipping his pen in that well and his opinion has less value to me than Scott's on the same topic.
Now as for personal attacks, I see a difference between attacking the person and attacking or dismantling the "opinion". I hope this long explanation helps clarify some things... :-)

Hey Shukz, thanks for that ringing endorsement! LOL
FWIW, I don't always have the time to read every post and determine the motive behind it. This means there are times I depend on the readers to contact me or have the moderators apply their moderating ability to threads that are negatively heating up.
But all in all, we do have to show some grace to each other, (our brothers keeper).

Then why the judgment that is close to hand ? something to think about.

It would be nice if the original poster explained what his post was suppose to be saying. As I read it, it sounds nothing but gibberish, this is a roller site, birds don't care what kind of background their owner has, there are other vent sites on the web if the need arises.
