As individuals we're bonded by our love and passion for pigeons
We're all built differently though - some have a burning passion to win and succeed; whilst others are a tad more relaxed
So when these approaches collide, that's when there's increased likelihood for differences of opinion
Now, take me.
I haven't got it in me to congratulate someone on being 150ypm behind in a race.
I could say it sure, but I wouldn't be being true to myself if I did that because that's a result that would offend me mortally.
To me that's like limping home
So, I look for areas of improvement and suggestions to improve
It's not designed to offend (believe me I can offend if the cards fall that way) but if offence is taken then, honestly, my conscience is clear because it comes from a good place

Difference of opinion are always going to be there as that what makes the sport so enjoyable as there is no right or wrong way to do anything, folks do what suits them, me I was bottom of the sheet most weeks but you know what, I probably got more enjoyment from it than the ones top of it as no pressures on me or the birds to perform week in week out then get a strop if moving down the sheet, I did take a fair few cards and they were just a bonus the real pleasure was watching them come home after being prepared, showed was doing some thing right
Sometime what we write comes over offensive and that is the issue whether we mean it or not folks need to think or put another way brain into gear before hitting the keyboard, we all read and interpret things differently

We are indeed built very differently
What p!sses me off is being told my way isn't the right way by someone that can't fly a kite on a windy day

I agree Buster. The racing side is a very small part of our sport. I will go into more detail when I eventually get the time to reply to Neil’s question about my breeding method and aims.
A big part of the sport is the friends made and the enjoyment we get from keeping these wonderful creatures.
This forum has been a great place to exchange our different views over the years. Long may it continue.
Hope it does mate
