Hmm.
This particular topic always had the potential to become slightly heated, as it covered disabilities and dogs - two things which can generate quite passionate views sometimes, particularly when discussed together.
As well as the strongly held divergent views expressed here, the admin team have received a general comment from another member, which grahame quoted. We took the view that posts on this topic were all valid, but perhaps in danger of getting a bit 'personal' in their nature.
I've subsequently tried to maintain a relatively light-hearted tone in the recent discussion, but I've now received further feedback from a member expressing some concern that posts continue to focus more on individuals than the issues raised.
As this discussion has now covered a lot of the issues raised by the original post quite validly, and the story does not directly apply to the Great Western area anyway, I've now locked this topic to let things cool down a bit.
