Not everyone who gets a dog from TSE has continuing problems. I think it's 
important that you stop projecting your experience on to others.

Honestly, your messages would be much better received if you stopped making 
blanket statements, and began to treat people, who have had experiences that 
differ from your own, with some respect. Personally, I find it very 
frustrating to read one or two line messages that contain blanket statements 
and generalizations, and are not respectful of others opinions and/or 
experiences.
