As far as I'm concerned, you and Bookie and Lynne are peas in a pod... truculent cat ladies with unbounded hostility toward anyone who falls short of your cat-welfare standards, and plenty of hostility left over to direct at one another. I call it as I see it. It doesn't mean I'm upset, or that I don't like you. I've had Bookie kill-filed long before I said anything on the forum about it. When a person consistently offers me no return on my investment in time, I'm simply not going to read them anymore. BFD. -- Lynne |

It's not even just the abrasiveness, really, it's the huge steaming piles of crap she writes. I have no time for that. -- Lynne |

wrote: For a mature cat, a two-day weekend outside in summer doesn't seem outrageous. *Every* weekend is more iffy, I agree. But several weeks is outrageous, probably meeting the legal definition of abandonment. Have you called the police or animal control to see about filing a cruelty complaint. As much as I believe it's cruel, they've broken no laws here. I think the law sucks, but my county is a farming community and the AC laws have been derived from farming practice. We don't even have a leash law in my county. Calling either the AC or the police in this case would only have served to have the cat picked up, maybe. That said, I think it's irresponsible as hell to leave a pet unsupervised outdoors for *any* length of time. -- Lynne |

Rhonda Hmmm. It's true that Bookie tosses out some flame bait, with her comments about Americans, fat people, putting a burning tire around someone's neck, etc. etc. But so what??? I find it interesting to note the things you choose to say "so what" about, and the things you choose to go all "old-lady-knickers-in -a-knot" about. ??? I don't know quite what you mean by this. I think the overstated use of killfiles is a feeble ploy, but I don't get myself worked up because people do it. I'm just expressing an opinion.

I call it as I see it. It doesn't mean I'm upset, or that I don't like you. Charlie- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - openly stating that you have killfiled someone is rather sad, it is kind of the grown up newgroup equivalent of "we don't want to play with you, nur nur!!!" (sticks thumb on nose and waggles fingers at someone). and if someone wants to express themselves in a certain way ie by verbalising the anger within them openly then thats fine by me. half the time people say things which they wish woudl happen, eg someone who shoots at people's cats being run out of town with a burning tyres round their neck, but it doesn; tmean they woud actually do it, or were some of you not aware of that? someties beign able to vent ones spleen in such a way is a good outlet for anger and may prevent the person actually dong somethgin harmful to themsleves or others because they have not managed to release their pent up aggression in another way because of what narrowminded imbeciles who like to censor everything you write will say about it. you can say what you like about what i write, i couldn't care less, in fact it really amuses me that you take me so seriously that you actually go to the extent of killfiling me for it. What also makes me laugh is your attitude towards my statements when your country and culture is supposed to uphold the rights of peolpe to enjoy freedom of speech and respect what others have to say, so excuse me if I find your attitude a little hypocritical, ladies. bookie |

If you doubt me, take five minutes to research the techniques used by anger-management specialists. They don't tell their clients to vent their spleens. They teach them to use relaxation techniques and control their reaction to whatever triggers their anger.

Charlie- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - doesn't it worry you then that there may be someone out there who coudl be of a similar mindset to me? someone who may also enjoy verbalising inner anger occasionally despite all the 'professionals' you have cited who tell you that such an activity is really unhealthy? |
