Community at large: (swinging the opinion/education club straight at the temple, then into the ribs while they're confused.) "you are wrong wrong wrong!!!! this is what we say you should do, you horrible scum you!!!"
and, to the OP, hope the 5-6 actual responses to your question were useful. and don't mind the community at large - (/sarcasm) we know what's good for you and your dog better than you do, eh? (/sacasm off).

I don't spend my time here trying to retain members. If they want to be educated they stay and learn...if they don't...that's fine too....don't let the door hit you on the way out.
If you own a Rottweiler you must grow a thick skin and learn to roll with the punches. We are not here to sugar coat...what you want to hear.
I think most people are polite, and if they are not then the thread will be edited or deleted.
We are in real trouble with this breed and may lose the right to own one in the near future...it's happened here in Ontario with Pitts.
I hate the idea of our breed being touted as some bad, tough breed...and the image of spike collar does it.
It seems some people have been educated on why a spike collar is a bad idea...maybe the OP did not like it...but other's understand the reason for our dislike for them.
