Silvertoken, Most of those who posted were rational, not emotional, yes, a few were insulting, but so were you, calling someone's post "unintellectual" very early on.
As a former agent in Child Protection, and an expert witness in the subject in several central florida counties, I do not take the risk that you described to a 3 year old lightly.
Allowing dogs to go to the fence where you know a child is playing where contact through the fence happens to tiny fingers could result in a bite. Not to mention the aspect of neglect by caretakers that you described.
I understand your feeling of ownership and zeal to coerce authorities to make a dog park, but most of the posts in your original thread aside from your own were coming from sincere people who not only do not share your agenda, but who see you and your group as out of line.
Either the child is in harm's way or not. It was your statement about the child that provoked my outrage. I have no interest in humiliation, but your alleging others humiliated you does not affect whether the child is at risk as you claimed.
