I agree that profanity, slander, & liable should be left to "one on one in person" to the person (without witnesses). People sometimes forget that everything on a message board can be accessed via Google and other engines.
Remember: "Sticks and bones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". Correct or incorrect, conversation is just that: "Conversation." If one has a chip on their shoulder, takes comments personally, or has a "short fuse" then perhaps they should just go out and watch their livestock and refrain from nasty comments.
This board is for information and fun. It should not be a "War of the Worlds" among participants. Just because someone is 100% committed to their livestock breed, way of doing things, or whatever, doesn't mean that anyone that disagrees with them is illiterate, stupid, or insane! Earth is a big place with a lot of open range...guess there is room for everyone as long as they don't get carried away and infringe on other's rights, ideas, practices, lifestyle, as well as run down someone else's program.
