I knwo plenty of you will just say "this isn't a real question." But here it goes:
I am a big "fix your pet advocate" just like this person lited above. I aways urge people to do. nothing good can come out of puppy mills or backyard breeders, but why must they feel the need to be ugly with people. Before BELLA DONNA posted something asking people to ban this person, I answered saying thatI did agree with this persons answers, but after going back and looking at his/her other accounts she/he is really rude about things. There is no way to persuade someone to see things your way if you are being rude and down right disgusting. I do respect this person for being so passionate about his/her beliefs, but really there are better ways to go about things. You cannot preach to the world by smacking people with bible, it just doesn't work this way!
Does anyone agree?
Answers:
Everyone learns differently.
Some learn by example
Some learn by study
Some learn by experience
Some learn by being smacked upside the head with the truth
If this person manages to make 1 person reconsider the stupidity they are proposing, supposing, advocating or exposing then the message was given in the right manner.
I may not always appreciate the method.. but the message is clear.
I read the BellaDonna post and I went and read some of KENULRUNs answers, be honest with people yes but why do you have to put them down and call them names..used the word Imbecile ALOT !! So yes I agree, youre not gonna get thru to people this way!
Internet is a subset of life. There are people who prefer to phrase things delicately and there are people who prefer to be blunt/crass/whatever and get on with it. If the answers are correct, then it shouldn't matter which approach an individual takes when answering.
If someone posts a question on Y!A they should be prepared for a myriad of answers, intellectual capacities, and personalities in responses. Just as with life, when asking a group of strangers a question.
If someone wants to hear what they want to hear in the way they want to hear it, they can ask their spouse or friend.
JMO.
Here's why I understand where this person is coming from. I have worked in rescue for years so I have seen the "imbecile" owners in action and it gets more frustrating everyday.
People make no effort to make responsible choices when it comes to their dogs and then whine to us when something goes wrong.
Don't post questions if you can't handle the honesty.
Well said, St. Lady! (applause)
I don't. I think its wonderful someone points out how stupid and neglectful the ML really are. If their feelings get hurt then perhaps it will stick in their brain-dead bodies for more than a few seconds. Have you read some of these questions? Why do they wait until the dog is near death and then type EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP MY DOG? And the first paragraph always starts with " I just wuv my dog to pieces but, she is six months old and I think my little Chiwawa is pregnant and in labor from the Great Dane next door, will she be okay? I don't have money for a vet." Then to add insult to injury six months later if the same dog didn't die they are back here asking the same question. That in my opinion is RUDE, Nasty and Cruel. Not just some words on a computer.
Sometimes you DO have to smack people to make them learn. But, think of it this way. She gets people so mad with her answers, that they want to prove her wrong. So, they look up the answers themselves, and find out she is right. Even if only 1 out of 100 do this, she has done what she set out to do, educate people.
There are others of us in here who give people calmer, more detailed answers. However, we also get blocked, reported, and nasty e-mails. There are so many people who want others to justify their own stupidity that you have to have all kinds of people answering. Maybe the more different types of answers, the more likely that someone will take our advice.
So, when you read her answers, just smile and know that she is getting through to some people.
