Often, I chose not, maybe others should have made the same choice. I have always thought this as well. The reason I started this thread is because it seemed the baby was thrown out with the bathwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens regularly. Joe did it once while I was there. They aim low...and these guys know how to aim. At most, the shot bounces into the dog from the ground. Never seen one injured.

Some people get emotional and defensive over certain subjects. Those subjects should be avoided. Everything else is pretty much fair game. Then those that want to get "emotional and defensive" wins and the rest of us lose, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wouldn't this be truer titled "thinkers and/or malcontents"? History shows many, many a great thinker was a malcontent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well, let's talk about what to do. What about an FB members only group? I'd be happy to start one and extend admin to a few of the old timers to approve new members. Moderation, and expectations of civil behavior, would be about the same as the old BS Forum. I know many here are FB adverse, but one CAN create a pretty well locked down FB page if you wish and probably send no more data to FB than you do to others.

When we had her spayed, I asked the vet to go ahead and remove a BB from her chest and another one from her leg. She's a really good dog!

I admit even though I don't believe in evil per se, I didn't realize how many people actually got their news from it. It really surprised me what folks were reporting in the old BS Forum about what the female members of their family were saying about contemporary discussions. Now that I learned how it could be manipulated it REALLY bolstered my contention of how many people can be swayed by propaganda and that it's not even generated by actual humans--BLEW MY MIND! That said, I am open to Dave's idea. Folks used to describe the various BS Forums that way however we knew that humans were the ones sharing their opinion.
