Buckeye Breed Thread

[buffalogal]

Pardon my ignorance. But someone who is learning and uses this site to enhance and grow their knowledge. Is a "lurker"??!!!!
Interesting concept when this site is promoted as a place all can come for learning.
I don't know why that term offends me but it does.
I do agree with this gentleman that less arguing and more sharing of positive posts and helping all do the best for this breed is why I "lurk" on here.
Have a great Saturday I'm off to lurk somewhere else. Have fun.

I don't think Walt meant you specifically. "Lurker" is simply someone reading/following a thread or conversation who does not post. Whether they are feeling a bit intimidated or are uninspired to speak up, normally they quietly watch from "the sidelines" as the discussion moves along. I don't know why it would offend, as it clearly doesn't apply to you. At any rate, it's not a bad term like "stalker", which among other definitions is a person who shows up simply to harass another poster.

As has been said over and over again on this oft contentious thread, this is no way to promote a breed. The rather frequent bickering, the posts that are unwelcoming, the tit for tat which far too often typifies the "conversations" here, simply do nothing to help promote this fine breed. Shame.
