Comments

Someone wrote on hoarding? They wanted comments? I wrote on the subject, think I should gather up my posts and send them over to his comment box?

Just kidding. I think when someone asks for a taste of your ham sandwich, they don’t really want you to show up at their door with a whole roasted hogzilla.

I read a few blogs. I usually read them when they are fresh – so I never see the comments, but I was reading one fresh blog post yesterday, and it linked to an older post, and I went there.

Below it were a slew of comments. I didn’t like the drama at all. I thought:
This blogger is way too nice, I’d of laid down the rules in plain English.

But then I thought: Would I? If I thought of them as friends and guests?

I doubt that I’d want that type of propaganda on my blog.
Just when I began to think the blogger must be a saint of patience or on medication,
he kicked a poster off his list.

As for arguments – after awhile, you’ve heard them all.
People think up new angles but they are only new to them,
other people have thought them up before,
because there are only a number of angles, only a handful of camps,
only a knowable number of opinions on these issue – the rest are copies.

It’s like an election, only a small number of main candidates, a number of also rans – you can know their stands on the issues. The number of different points of view is NOT vast.

R.U. a TROLL?

What is a weed?
“Any plant growing where you don’t want it, a carrot plant in a wheat field is a weed, a wheat plant in a carrot field is a weed.” – quote from one of my teachers.

What is a troll?”
A person in the wrong group, a show dog breeder on a working dog site is a troll, a working dog breeder on a dog show site is a troll.

Dog breeders are trolls on animal rights sites; animal rights people are trolls on animal breeding sites.

A troll is a person, who instead of looking for a group of people like himself, looks for groups of people who do NOT share his views in order to gain information about them, convert them, annoy them, or harm them in some way.” – quote from me.

If you breed show dogs – go find a show dog site.

If you mass produce a large number of puppies – go find a high volume breeder site.

If you fight dogs, promote breeding fighting breeds, or the keeping of UNFIXED fighting dogs as pets – go find a fighting dog aficionado site.

If you BREED dogs for formal competitive sports – go find a competitive dog sport site.

If you are into breeding or surgically making weird looking dogs – like breeding dogs to have flat faces, twisted tails, or slobbery lips, or if you are into chopping off dog’s ears or tails – then just keep surfing the web until you find your niche, because this is NOT it.

This site IS for people in these groups:

1. People who like dogs bred any USEFUL task.

2. People who believe that: Breeders who sell puppies as pets, should have as their breeding goal, the desire to produce good pets. (What? Yes. Show doggie sacrilege!)

3. People who honestly re-home dogs.

4. People who are into HELPING people learn to improve, to keep up on the latest news about dogs, to understand genetics on the macro level, and to help truthfully educate the public & government.

Including re-educating the person who breeds:
dogs with harmful mutations,
dogs for competitions,
dogs for dog-shows,
dogs incestuously.

Or HELPING to re-educate
the person with too many pets,
the person who needs to learn how to handle their pet better.

If you just want to blast deluded or ignorant people – go look for a haters site.
This site is to gently help people understand, not to go to THEIR sites and blast them with harsh words.

Of course, if someone gets up Sunday morning and instead of going to their own church, they wander into a church of a different religion, then they have no right to complain that the pastor isn’t preaching what they believe in.

We also want to educate those who aren’t doing anything wrong, they treat their pets well, but they have listened to the pied pipers of propaganda.
