Jumping out bobcats

[bearsnva]

Behaving and communicating in ways that is condescending to others while over elevating your self is not a good path for making friends and gaining respect among your peers. Kind of reminds me of old Ike. I'm sure you remember him. He was a very accomplished houndsman with a fine pack of dogs, problem was, he never let anyone forget it for a second. His ability to stroke his own ego was unrivaled and for that reason he didn't gain a whole lot of respect in the internet hound world. It's too bad because he was very good at what he does and had lots of good information to share but his lack of good social etiquette got in the way.--- from trueblue

trueblue,
That is so very true! The old Shadetree will never be equaled I don't think as for the characters on there. Ike versus the world ! Sometimes it even got to the point I felt a teensy bit sorry for Ol Ike when he was getting double teamed by Dawg and Nolte. Then let someone mention an Airedale to Bruce and it went to an entirely different plane. Don't mean to change the topic but when you mentioned Ike I couldn't help but think back. I am sure Dewey is a very knowledgeable houndsman and thanks to you guys for sticking up for his good points.

I think you got a little too excited there David. You pointed out a single,solitary character quirk and I briefly elaborated on it suggesting it might be a flaw not a quirk. My brief comments hardly qualify as a character assassination.

Funny how we take the words of someone on here and turn them around, ain't it, Trueblue.

One thing I have learned over the years David, is if you want to see what someone is made of, just watch and see what comes out when they are offended. And you never fail to come out swinging.

No need to become overwrought. I'm sure Dewey is a great guy with many fine qualities that could be characterized as honorable. I don't believe anyone, including myself has ever questioned his honor. The only thing that I suggested was that his social skills could use a little refining. There is no need for you to imply things that never came out of my mouth. Same goes for Ike. I complimented him. I think he is a fine houndsman. I bet he has many admirable and honorable traits and I am sure that there are those out there that know him that respect him for that, BUT, his social skills on a public forum really hampered his ability to be heard. Does that make him a bad person ? Absolutely not ! Does that flaw render him dishonorable ? Hardly ! And for you to imply that is what I said, is not true.

Before social media there were people who offended others by being braggarts and full of themselves. Back then you either stayed and listened to them or just walked away or hung the phone up on them. Social media makes it real easy. If you find someone that offends you and insults your intelligence just DONT READ THEIR EFFING POSTS!!!!!!!!! Its real simple
