From: ospam (Yngver)

Really? Here is a precise quote of what she said:
"My memory is not flawless and I could be wrong and I do apologize if I am."


Why don't you provide the rest of her post?? Perhaps it suits your agenda to
take parts of her post out of context, instead? She went on to defend her lies
by stating that since AOL apparently doesn't archive their posts for very long,
she could very well be telling the truth after all. It wasn't contrite or
sincere at all.

I
see, though, that you are providing her the benefit of the doubt.


Why not? She gave you the benefit of the doubt. That's more than you are
willing to do.


Let's see....she makes up something out of thin air, attributes it to me (it
was a lie) and you call THAT giving me "the benefit of the doubt"??
LOL--that's rich! Interestingly enough, you've taken more time to defend
Lauren than she has.

So get over it already. What's the point of following her around
demanding another apology?


What apology?


The one posted above.


You only posted part of her post--not the whole thing.

You just proved my point.


....and you ignored mine completely.

I'm not the one bringing it up--everyone else is. The point that I KEEP
BRINGING UP IS THAT LAUREN LIED ABOUT ME ON THE ISSUE OF DECLAWING AND I
THINK
I'VE MADE IT CLEAR THAT SHE IS A LIAR.



Yeah, well, maybe no one else cares enough about who said what to get all
worked up about it the way you are.


Well, a lot of people care enough to get their digs in even though they have no
idea what they are talking about!

The point AGAIN is that Lauren lied about me on the issue of declawing. It
has
nothing to do (this time) with Hill's. Get it through your head and quit
trying to confuse the subject. That is, if you can bother reading all of

the
posts.

Better to not read them all than to read them but misinterpret, as you tend
to
do.


Oh brother! Look, yngver, you seem like a decent enough person. I don't
really have a quarrel with you--however, you are going to the ends of the earth
to defend Lauren's bad behavior. I really have to question why that is? You
took the time to go back and post (only part of) what she said. Yet, you don't
question her at all for making the allegation in the first place (nobody was
even talking about declawing as part of the thread). She was simply trying to
smear me by lying. When I call her out on it and she gives a half-hearted
apology (after several days of me dogging her) and then makes the allegation
AGAIN in the same post (!!), you chastise ME?? She may be a buddy of yours,
but you really need to apply your judgement equally across the board.

Do you have children?


What difference does that make?



I was wondering the same thing, Sherry. It looks like we have another
"philosopher" whose gonna "enlighten" all us "novices" ...

I just can't wait to hear her convoluted analogy! Its probaby as ridiculous
as the pro-declawers' analogy of declawing and the choice of abortion...

Phil.


Actually the realtionship between declawing and abortion isn't that far off
on certain levels.

You have people who in their heart of hearts think abortion is murder. If
someone has witnessed an abortion they could probably relate all sorts of
brutal, gory, heart wrenching details. You have people who in their heart of
hearts think declawing is abhorrant. They too could report brutal, gory,
heart wrenching details if they witnessed this procedure. Then you have
people who don't think about either very much and accept both procedures as
commonplace and nothing to get your panties in a wad about.

Both procedures are frequently done for convenience or because people are
too lazy to exercise alternatives. Both procedures are done by people who
see themselves as being responsible and making intelligent decisions for
themselves.

Both procedures concern life, death and quality of life. Maybe that is why
people get so passionate about discussing either.

Remember that indoor-only cats tend to live longer than

year. I'd be extremely surprised if breeders registered half a
million cats per year -- I'll send some emails out to the registries
and see if I can get some information regarding total number of cats
registered last year in each of the major registries.


I have all kinds of conflicting data - but I'd still like to know. Perhaps
I wouldn't be so hard on them.


I have numbers! Only a couple, but I'll post more as I
get them.

CFA - 44,777
AACE - 10,000

So the current total is 54,777. I'm going to estimate that TICA's
number will be very close to CFA's, and that ACFA is going to be
around half TICA and CFA. So my current projection is a total of
122,277 purebred cats registered in the US last year. Which is a *far
cry* from 2.6 million.

Heh. And that total gets farther away from 2.6 million as I
got another number back.

ACFA registered 1955 cats in 2003. No, I didn't forget a zero. So
the current total is 56,732.
