Um, if you seriously think I am going to ban people for not knowing much about these dogs, think again. We all started out ignorant at some point. True, some people remain ignorant, and some don't, but to criticize "my site" because you didn't like, or agree with, something some new member posted is not only unfair, it is laughable.Originally Posted by ToTheDogs
I try to run an ultra-clean board here, and I try to keep it centered on only dog-relevant content, and I also try to enforce some general sense of civility as well ... but I cannot be expected to monitor every post, every second, of every day
The simple fact is, "internet arguments happen." You might also want to consider how your own attitude may have played a roll in how it happened
Regardless, Scratchin Dog saw the BS and removed it, including your own BS. So why all the crybaby talk? I mean, if you are so thin-skinned that you cannot survive an internet insult being posted for a few minutes/hours during the day, before it's removed, then that is something you'll have to square with yourself. The funny thing is both of you are wailing to me about wanting to jump out ... I mean, is it really that bad?
On the one hand, ToTheDogs, you say you won't be renewing your account ... over something I neither said nor did ... and which my moderator took care of ... and, on the other hand, CanisMajor, you're telling me by PM that you wish to commit "internet suicide" and want me to remove you from the database as well ... again, all over an internet post ... and all I can really do is sit here and laugh my ass off at the both of you and wonder how in the world either one of you has the mettle to handle a bulldog
I suggest you both wipe away your tears, and get over yourselves. Really, step back and take a look at all this from an outsider's perspective ... trust me, it's ridiculous
Folks, this was just a flippin' internet argument on a dog site ... a lil tussle over egos and opinions ... that I neither started, nor got involved in ... and it's been addressed and removed by my moderator ... so calm down. Relax. There really is no need to kill yourselves (or your online presence here)
Most folks understand that, in any group of people (especially the larger it gets), sometimes individuals are going to disagree. And, sometimes, individuals are going to be rude to each other. It is okay to disagree, and if people get rude enough, we will delete the posts. That is pretty much all we can be expected to do, and so (again) instead of crying and threatening to "jump out" ... how about manning-up and asking yourselves how your own bad attitudes might have offended the other guy
