    Default I think I should know who are the moderators to the dog forum.... by now..

    Feel free to identify please... Its time...


    My issue is obvious.... there is a constant plethora of demons posting You need a leash...... It has now reached a point where not one thread cannot be read without people demanding a leash.

    Should I block all posts from hikers who do not have dogs?

    Suggest you read the sticky from Sgt Rock...

    There's little positive impact on this forum... don't like what I have to say? STEP DOWN!
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Posters to this forum that do not have dogs should be put on a leash.

    The General could be the moderator? I like dogs. Don't have one myself. But some people get crazy about dogs in the woods.

    Point well taken, over the past few years I have also seen numerous comments in which people have bragged about their willingness to hit/pepper spray/shoot fellow hikers and their dogs if they deem them unruly or intimidating. I get the feeling this sort of talk would result in members being banned from other forums on the site.

    In fairness, if there were a "Kids on the Appalachian Trail" forum, I'd probably be constantly posting comments demanding the parents leash their children.

    Thanks guys - I am willing to take a three day time out for this - I am burned out with the constant rhetoric of leashes... clearly no -mod knows how to do the job effectively... responsibly.... I understand the responsibility and am stepping up because the job is not being done.
