A serious question - Is there some place where a novice can get some fairly brief summaries and I mean brief re the pugs v mitchell, shell, et als. wars? I'd like to understand both sides. It seems quite fascinating but I don't have the time to read pages and pages of posts and often skip the longer ones here. I've got that scam dogs and momo mamas book but haven't had a chance to read it. Is it an accurate portrayal of some of this stuff?

From what I see, there seems to be lots of dedication on both sides so a lot of potential for good on both sides. However, it seems that human nature, being what it is, the worst on both sides comes out and crusading takes a secondary seat to vendettas/hidden agendas and personal gains/manipulation. As each side vilifies the other, it becomes impossible to give the other side any remote benefit of the doubt.

I'm not judging here or even saying that any of this behavior is wrong as each of us has our morality and inability to live up to that morality.
