Just like you're being all charming now...
I don't think anyone I've ever worked with would call me "a wimp". Interesting perspective for someone who's never met or worked with me.
I DO understand that working in extremely uncontrolled environments might require different protocol than those I've been accustomed to (and I work older "youths" approximately as often as I work older groups, and occasionally the younger tikes - I've found nearly zero difference between their fans, at least in my area).
What I took issue with was the fact that someone posted here that she learned from this group how to ignore first when dealing with issues outside the fence... only to have 4 or 5 posters summarily baste her. It was uncalled for. It was THOSE posters that failed to realize that in most cases, ignoring the garbage outside the fence is the best way to deal with it, and bashed her for not being Stalin, as you say.
PS - I know who the big dogs are on here... and who the big-dog wannabes are as well. I am currently neither. I'd say I'm a medium dog at best, who is here both to learn and to help others learn. I may eventually be a "big-dog", but hopefully will not become as arrogant as the wannabes of which (and from whence) you speak when I become one.
