[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I notice many posts are responding to "Freckles mom". As another poster pointed out above, no poster has identified themselves as such. One poster has claimed to have personal knowledge of the situation. I know the identity of that poster and it is not the dog's owner. In addition, another poster compared the death of a pet to the death of a child. These two posters are not the same individual.

In a forum in which most users post anonymously, it is easy to confuse identities. As such, quite a bit of caution is required before making guesses about identities.

I suppose that it is good that I still retain the capacity to be shocked by the amount of cruelness some of you are capable of demonstrating. Or, perhaps that is owed more to some posters' ability to continually raise the bar on insensitivity. Regardless, please remember that the woman in this story is a female resident of Washington, DC -- the exact characteristics of the largest portion of DCUM's audience. She could very well be one of our readers. I think it would be reasonable for posters to respond in a manner that would be suitable for speaking to the dog owner in real life, because this is, in fact, real life. A real person lost a much-loved pet. Regardless of the circumstances or on whom the blame should be placed, a bit of sympathy is not too much to ask.

You tell them Jeff!

TO be fair though, the title of the thread incited the viciousness. "Brutal Murder", come on? if OP didn't post this for sensationalism then I don't know what. [/quote]
