this is a very good article that rebuts many of the
assertions made by people who are against declawing



Well, you got what you wanted. We're all in here playing your game.
When you come in here and tell us that you had your fingers amputated
at the first joint and it isn't all that bad, then I'll listen to
you. You are a sorry piece of garbage and my various fosters who
were as neurotic as all get out because of declawing have lots of
dirty litter offerings for you.
STUPID SKANK.

You should see a shrink about all that anger and hostility that's eating
you up inside.

anyone who believes declawing is not as bad as some people
make it out to be must be a troll?

The last refuge of a newsgroup nitwit who can't handle any challenge to
his moronic logic. He can't just killfile someone or just ignore them.
He has to make a big show of it.

Sheesh! What a pathetic dip****.

Doesn't require being a newbie to *this* newsgroup to figure out a
troll. We try to give people the benefit if the doubt but it's
obvious from the get-go if they want to argue after getting good
information they are just here to stir up trouble.

Translation:
If you disagree with me you're a troll.

Oh pish tosh !

If you disagree with what I say is the truth you are a troll.

You've been 'Cheezing' again, haven't you??

Are you completely new to Usenet? You keep mentioning this Floyd

Usenet. (Totally different creatures, you know.)

Email lists can be controlled. If someone trolls an email list, they
can be kicked off. The same is not true of Usenet.

Nonetheless, if someone appears (to me) to be making a sincere
inquiry, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't care if
it's "obvious" to others that the person just wants to stir up
trouble. I go by my own intuition, right or wrong.

Naturally, Joyce, thats *exactly* what you - and everyone - should do. You
also have the sense to stop posting if/when it becomes clear that it was
trolling, rather than a genuine post, which is - along with many other
reasons - why you are a valued member of the RPCA community.

I wouldn't have seen this Troll's reply if *you* hadn't replied to him!
Please stop with the all drama and either killfile them or ignore them.
Please?????

I would have though by now everyone had added to their kilfile list. As I
said earlier, even after a specific warning from Matthew, the troll won this
round. If you accidentally respond to something like that, to post again
about it for any reason, even to apologize is "feeding". Yeah I know I just
added a few calories to their diet by saying this.

Naw, the troll didn't *really* win the round. "Back in the day"...the
definition
of "trolling" was to pop in a newsgroup, post a known volatile
subject, and eventually
the regulars of differing opinions would start arguing with *each
other*. The troll
would then back off, watch the division in the group and enjoy the
fireworks.
RPCA is sort of different that way. About all you get here when you
post "Should
I declaw?" is bombarded with helpful information and links. No one
flames each
other.

I didn't mind this post/thread at at all. You never know how many
people lurk
but never post, and it's good info. to get out in print once in a
while.
(And the recipes never hurt either!)

Well, I'd CERTAINLY put the "welfare" of my pet over that of my damned
FURNITURE!!!!!! I understand declawing is illegal in some countries,
and IMO it SHOULD be in the U.S. as well! Many American vets will not
declaw, and I stopped going to the one I had in Pasadena when I
discovered he was touting laser surgery for that purpose. (Laser
surgery may be less painful for the cat, but how would YOU like to go
through life minus the first joints of all your fingers?)

I know you're probably just a particularly obnoxious troll, but on the
off-chance you are merely a clueless human being, someone needed set you
straight.

Try Google and learn something

Hopefully this group won't fall for some nobody starting this debate gain
specially one from a known troll ISP

HelLO I thought this was one of the NOT topics in rpca FACs.

Think again! (Or perhaps someone should revise the FAQ's?) "Indoor vs
outdoor" may be a matter of opinion, opposing the trauma of unnecessary
and painful surgery and advising the clueless not to have it done is NOT
an option!)
