We know the sign and we stay away. The dog is known to protect its turf often with single-minded determination, and cannot differentiate those who mean well and are supportive from those with ill intent. The dog is trained to instinctively follow that same pattern regardless of who should enter, other than the person who cares for it.

We should beware of the dogmatic mindset. The one that is steadfast and resolute in thinking and approach and is unable to objectively consider ideas or perspectives that may differ from their own. At times dismissing new thoughts may be justified, however, it is likely that in most cases not. Being overly dismissive of ideas, people stop sharing them, and you do your thing, alone.
