| Jon, please take this as a totally non biased perspective (I am a novice Doberman owner and did not partake in showing Cinny.. I would've adopted her with or without any titles)..
As a regular member of DT, I honestly thought the election was just a spoof.. something cute and fun like the Halloween costume contests. I admit, I didn't follow it closely but from what I read, it seemed more like entertainment and a way to garner some donations to keep DT running.
Is it possible that you took it more seriously than what was originally intended?
I have also never seen anyone shunned for having a less than perfect Doberman. Some people here don't even own a Dobe. I had a rescue and never felt that way. Sure there are some people who clique better with others but that will happen anywhere.. internet or not.
As for being ignored, I would be shocked to find out that it had anything to do with Sabastian and what he looked like.
From my perspective, you & Sebastian are very popular here and I think we'd all miss you if you left but honestly, this seems a little melodramatic to me. jmho. I hope you reconsider because I enjoy your wit and passion for the breed.
