Posters being needlessly rude

[Anonymous]

I’ve been coming here ten years so I’m not new to the site, but it seems that I see more PPs just being needlessly mean “…get a trainer to teach you to be a better owner” “T-A-C-K-Y” and more. The mean used to seem to be a few pages in, after people got heated, but recently it’s like people are just venting bile. Is this just my perception or are people being a bit more aggressive?

What do you expect Jeff to do with such a general post?

Use the report button.

There are posts like this about once a month. I guess everyone as their own tolerance level and yours just got reached. My observation is that things got worse at the beginning of the pandemic and have not improved. I don't think things are worse this month than they were last month or even a year ago. But, yes, definitely a lot more rudeness than two or three years ago.

The only thing I can suggest is to report the rude posters. I'll either find ways to block them or they will get tired of having their posts deleted.

Yes, I’ve been reporting them. I only hesitate because I feel like I’m a heavy reporter.

No, thank you for reporting. It's appreciated.
