But to me this isn’t about them – it’s about the virus and figuring out what can be done to prevent or treat it. This takes priority over the other stuff.
and then this
who knew about it has no relevance to finding a cause, cure or treatment for the virus so I have no problem not blabbing about it.
and as well as
BTW - not to run it into the ground but not only did Dave Barker and another Big Name know about the virus as well as several other breeders big and small - but they've kept it hushed.
Show of hands -- How many are going to Boycott them as well?
Stating untruths without backing them up is complete and utter BS. Making excuses for such accusations because "they told me not to tell, so now im not going to, even though i gave you THIS bit of information, im going to withhold the rest which could be highly valuable information because i actually shouldnt have said a word cause it might not be true, and now i have made a big ole mistake and cant back up my own words with fact"
Didnt you say these quotes? ( save for the one ive made because im just feeling in that mood and this BS makes me angry) earlier in this thread?
You either have solid proof of breeders having/knowing of others who have this virus and keeping quiet about it, which as you feel so strongly about ridding collections of this virus.. to make a statement such as the last quote there, (which i feel should be brought to everyones attention as its a DETRIMENT to peoples collections and these animals lives ) OR! you do not and the lot of you are just uttering a bunch of BS " facts " back and forth with no just cause.
You "claim" to have such information. You believe it( this goes for all who "think" they know, what makes you believe it? Im not part of some stupid keyboard lynch mob, but im looking for FACTS on these accusations.
Throwing down the gauntlet so to speak.
What proof is in these emails that is good enough to bring people like the BARKERS to this level of shady BS? That not only you, but several others now know about and seemingly believe it enough to tell others about it... but yet... no one is coming forward with the proof? Obviously it must be some good information to sway so many who feel so strongly that the insatiable need to tell others such gossip must be met... or... maybe there is just the insatiable need to spread untrue gossip and that is all it truly is. in which case, why would you even attempt to make the sort of statement about the barkers, that you did? unless you know otherwise.
If you are just believing it because you are easily swayed by your friends words, do not post even the INKLING of a thought that you KNOW when you do NOT. That is my point.
if you have information that you know to be TRUE then you are just as wrong for not posting it. otherwise you should never have said one dang word and neither should anyone.
