Postings and Attitudes are Bad Publicity for CFA

We are NOT allowed to defame individuals on this list and it never should have been allowed in the first place. Not only was an exhibitor named when the lynching started, but the people who put on the show were strongly thrashed. It takes almost no effort to discover who they are. The worst part of the criticism was attributing motives to individuals that were not true and the refusal to acknowledge the error and apologize when it was exposed. Now we are stuck with the same couple of people repeating the same opinions over and over. It should at least be stopped now.

We are allowed to discuss the constitution which would include deleting the section dealing with the exclusion of breeds with "wild blood." This should be fair game, but the problem is that the opponents to a particular breed with the prohibited wild blood need to provide support for their positions instead of just repeating that it is in the constitution, it is immoral, and they smell. If debaters would provide more information about why they have their opinions, then we could all be educated as both sides bantered back and forth with fact instead of emotion.

I don't think you would be as disgusted if we could keep it more factual. I keep waiting for a new poster to suggest that we only allow foundation Bengals with 4 (or suggest another number) generations removed from the ALC. I also had a discussion with ------ about a year ago concerning genetic testing for this confirmation. I have to say that every time posters on this list criticize Bengals and their breeders, it pushes them farther away with the loss of CFA revenue, new exhibitors, and the opportunity to admire these cats. The clubs cannot squeeze anymore blood from the present CFA exhibitors, and a transfusion of the Bengal could be an important factor in saving CFA.
