Dealing with Bamm and kids

My personal thoughts on your opinions regarding pregnancy and children aside, from what I can tell you take good care of your dogs, and so long as you continue to take good care of your dogs, your issues are no one elses business. I'm a little repulsed at the immature personal attacks and threats the people on this forum have initiated on you, simply because they don't like what you have to say.

Dogdragoness, you've once again read into my post what you wanted to read for the sake of creating more hateful dramatics in your world, once again you create this world you live in.

What I said was Dogs take nastiness in stride, this is why they are probably extremely complimentary for you because whether or not you are nasty with your dogs they'll stick around where as people either fight back or turn their backs on your comments and treatments.

I'm fairly uninterested in how your dogs are treated, to be honest I can never tell if you have one dog named Izzie or more or less.

Amber, I'm sorry Bamm isn't doing well tonight. I hope a vet appointment can help shine some light on the situation.

Why do people insist on responding to them?

Why do people insist on responding to the responders? As if their opinions/statements make any difference to the lives of anyone here??

It's the pattern all over internet forums everyday... Initial Post > Usual Suspects Support > Usual Suspects Derail > Usual Suspects Call Out/Bicker > Usual Suspects Complain About Bickering/White Knight.

Anyone at any time could choose not to respond, and yet everyone does. Because forums are a place where people... talk about stuff. It wouldn't be much of a forum if people didn't. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, then everyone else is entitled to their opinions about those opinions. And everyone is free to read/not read or respond/not respond at any time.

The final step is ALWAYS people telling other people to not read/respond as if they weren't doing the exact same thing themselves, which I think is... weird. Why anyone is surprised by the pattern when it's exactly the same every time sort of surprises me. Personally I find it a fascinating part of human nature.

Well I highly doubt anyone wants to be in anyone else's box.

But... we've all constructed our own boxes through our own behavior, so we must be getting something out of being in them. "Behavior that is rewarded is repeated" applies to people, too, so if our predictably repeated behavior puts any one of us in a particular box then we must be deriving some kind of reward out of it. Whether it's feeling a sense of community, or letting off steam, or feeling like you helped someone, or feeling superior to others, or being the lone voice in the wilderness, or getting attention... whatever. *shrug*

Seriously.... People will only reply if you keep goading them.

We get it, there's people who don't like dogdragoness. And who have to get into a debate with her on every thread, make personal remarks about her mental health etc etc. We get it.

You don't like her opinions, we get it.

Why do people insist on responding to them? People call her dramatic but if they didn't respond there would be no drama.

I don't see this as being one sided, I see it as people using her to destress and bicker.

Of course she's going to respond. And I still dont get how her opinions make any difference to anyone else's lives here????? Who cares if you disagree,her opinions aren't going to crawl down your chimney and bite you.

Dogdragoness, you're entitled to your opinions, even if they are a bit radical. If people never had different or controversal opinions the world would be disgusting stagnant sludge. Keep sharing, makes life a bit more interesting.

Debating doesn't need to get mean. It can stay civil. But people poke poke poke waiting and trying to get her to say more and more, then get astounded when she does... Weird.

To be fair, and as the recipient of a few "six way pokes" myself, dogdragoness tends to provoke it... A lot. If no one responds to her, she will keep posting until someone does. I've seen a few threads where she posts all by herself for a few pages, repeating the so,w thing, before anyone responds out of pure frustration. Not trying to gang up here, just an observation.

I certianly dont do it to get a rise out of people, though it may seem that way. So I guess I am "the lone voice in the wilderness" but thats ok ... I am ok with that, In fact I prefer it. No bitching here about it.

There was far too much "just put the dog down" going around for my taste when there might be some kind of underlying medical issue causing it. I know Skittledoo loves her dog & if it turned out that he had something wrong that could have been fixed with meds or even surgery I know it would have made her feel terrible & I for one know its terrible to live with "I should have done this, or that."

If I wanted to continue this (since its clear I have differing opinions from many people here & replying on top of replying isnt going to change anything & my opinion is my opinion ... both on society & everything else & I have no intention on changing it, I saw no point in throwing more gasoline on the fire by replying further.

I said that is all I will say regarding my character, my dogs & my mental state (which others brought up, not me i might add) & I havent mentioned it since.

I wasnt even the one who brought it up first

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone. Honestly, about half the people on this forum are confrontational, immature A*holes that say stupid BS all the time, yet they are allowed to do so, no matter how disrespectful and rude it is. I find it funny that when someone outside of their little clique comes along and offers a different point of view that they don't like, rather then either A. answering maturely or B. ignoring them like I've done so many times, they have to rip them apart like a pack of wild dogs in any way that they can, going so far as to make personal attacks against that persons character and even dragging their dogs into it at times, as a way to further add fuel to the fire.

It's like being in high school all over again, and really makes me wonder just how old some of these people really are.

If you can't ignore what she has to say, then block her if you dislike her that much.
