If you or anyone else aren't happy with what someone posts you can report the posts and mods will look at it.
Dogsey is a very friendly forum and people are generlaly very polite when posting, even in debates (some of the people I admire most on here are people I have clashed with on some threads,we have developed mutual respect for each other because we've kept things calm and polite....we'll never agree on some things but I think they're brill anyway!)
I think the best thing we can do is not get personal...use the report post icon, thats what its there for.

btw thanks for your concern but I do think for myself and also listen and learn from professionals more knowledgeable then me
