Not sure how to respond to this at all. "Did I just take an opinion different than my own to that level?" Well, opinions do differ but they don't always have to.  Can we agree to that?  So, regarding the temperament of the Fila - when I first became familiar with them in 2000 the one I met and came to know were very different from today's. They had the defining trait of the breed - hatred toward strangers and it was prominently display. Those were the days when we took or Caucasians to the rare breeds shows by ARBA, Rarities, and IABCA because at that time the UKC and AKC judges were not capable of understanding whey they could not open the dogs mouth and get in front of its face. So, in 15 years there has been tremendous changes in the temperament of the Fila and YES other dogs that are not supposed to like strangers.

Now to the part about me being an administrator of the forum - let me rephrase that "the owner of the website on which this forum is hosted" I do have opinions that run contrary to others from time to time.  Since I am not always online and not trying to drum up activity by being mean or nasty to people, I conduct myself with some level of civility.  It may mean that I chose not to respond in a manner that may be expected or to temper my posting to be more conversational rather than combative.

Over the years I have realized the there really is not wrong or right answer to any question regarding dogs, behavior, temperament, training, genetics etc.. so I may not be as passionate about any one position as may be expected and I may generalize in my writings.

I did not imply anything about you at all.  

Sorry I disappointed you. Best regards
