[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:24 again. still LOLing. "bad people!"  I mean, not even the most strident breastfeeders or anti-circumcisers will go that far. Even in the mommy war threads, there is SOME acknowledgement that different people have a right to make decisions about their kids that reflect their different values and lifestyles.  But when it comes to PETS? All that's out the window, and anyone whose pet doesn't die in their arms is a Bad Person. Nuance be damned![/quote]

Still "LOL'ing?  You sound a little. . .slow.  [/quote]

hey pp...^^^^^^ you are here[/quote]

Well, you go on LOL'ing, and [b]we'll just have to accept that each of us has different outlooks on the responsibilities of pet ownership[/b].  Good luck to you and yours.  [/quote]

Snark aside, this is the only thing I ever want these threads to do. I only read and post on this forum to defend OPs like this one who are in tight spots from those would would make their spot more painful by calling them bad people just because they made a different choice.  Good luck to you as well. [/quote]

I guess we are each trying to help her in our own way.  I come on here to try to tell her of other alternatives, or what helped for me in a similar situation.

Is this the world's first DCUM kuymbaya moment?!?!?  :)

I did too. I made the liquid prozac suggestion. I've reported some of the meanest posts. I've been supportive all through, op has replied to my posts a few times. For me that means arguing with people who are overly dogmatic. I posted here when I was at the end of my rope with a pet situation and people were generally horrible and refused to understand. It's cruel and unnecessary to pile on people who are already hurting with worthless "advice" like "you should never have a pet, you are a bad person" when they're here asking bc they want to DO RIGHT BY the pet.

it may be the pet forum's first kumbaya moment, but honestly, supporting people who disagree with you is one of the strengths of the DCUM parenting forums. I really believe what I said before. people casually say crap on here about pet owners who disagree w them being bad people that they hesitate to say on even the most vitriolic parenting threads. I think it is because the vast, vast, vast majority of parents understand in their hearts that different people make different choices but all love their kids. I don't see that understanding in evidence on this forum nearly as often. (and yes ppl can be nasty on the parenting threads, but it's not all nastiness. not by a long shot.) [/quote]
