rules to help us get along (76 replies)
|
|
I've noticed that on several message boards people tend toward being argumentative and insulting. Not all of them. But on some there are folks who have only 7 functioning synapses in their entire brain and the feel the need to show the world that their 7 synapses work almost as well as the millions that normal people possess. These people feed off of drama like the fat guy eating spaghetti in "Monty pythons" the meaning of life" They argue about things they know, people they know, things they don't know, people they heard of, granola, breeders, kennels, aardvarks and topics so varied that no math genius could extrapolate a probability algorithm to predict the outcome. These people will argue with determination but maybe not a firm grip of reality (OK some don't even have a finger touching reality) I am not saying we can't disagree on any topic. There are many different training methods, different bloodlines and most have at least some merit. However there are some certain boundaries that I feel we should all heed.
1) write every response as if you are writing to Mike Tyson. Yes write it as if you are speaking to Iron Mike and he is in the next room and he is having a bad day. I have seen on some of the web boards people talking as if they are the reincarnation of the outlaw Josie Wales. YOU ARE ON A COMPUTER. This is a tool for exchange of ideas. Not that I'm a very tough person but in every fight I have ever been involved with I have never had anybody bring up dog training during the fight because that would be rude. IF you really want to be intimidating I really think that you may need to take off the bunny slippers and step away from the computer. You cannot stare a computer down since it has no eyelids and does not blink.
2) If you must insult someone please be original. Profanity while never really being appropriate is just too easy. Now if someone posts that a person has the intellectual capacity of a ground squirrel whose mother had been exposed extensively to both second hand smoke and Barry Manilow music, then you would have my attention.
3) If you are going to comment about a topic please have at least some fundamental understanding of the topic you are writing about.
4) When forming thoughts please try to use the gray matter in your brain. I think some people use lower parts of their central nervous system. It gets real difficult to understand if you are using your brain stem or hypothalamus to coordinate your thoughts since you are using brain incorrectly.
5) On dog related boards please keep topics dog related . If I went on the Swedish catapult society web page and discussed schutzhund, people would get annoyed. So don't talk about your trebuchet on a dog board.unless you are using it to teach a send out.
6) Of most jokes that are funny the first time many lose their effectiveness if you repeat them 453 times.
Please remember that as dog enthusiasts we need to project a positive image to both new people to our sports and to the uninitiated who may be just curious. Let's all agree that we should try not to look like a bunch of monkey's throwing intellectual poop at one another.

Hi, my name is Mike, I'm a....................................................................................................................................Pirate Aye! |
|
|
|
|
  !!
Yes indeed you are a pirate, Cappie, and you, Jeff, a poet. I am especially fond of your #2 rule and will mostly likely use it one day soon (on another board) and act as if I thought it up all by myself. Thanks!! |
|
|
|
|
May I make an addendum to rule 2? Have the testicular fortitude to use your real name!
I laughed as I read your post, I can think of a few posters who probably had to tab in and out of dictionary.com for the "big words".
By the way, second hand smoke and Barry Manilow isn't that bad, if you ask me. Your stepdaddy's meth lab and the Ying Yang Twins...now that would be more fitting in many situations around here. |
|
|
|
|
KCzaja LMAO. I didn't kow you had that in you! |
|
|
|
|
HA! You don't know me well enough then! The claws come out now and again.  |
|
|
|
|
Good one KCzaja ... think neologism. Ohh wait, isn't that pretty much talking to yo self ? Never mind.  |
|
|
|
|
 KCzaja............you guys are killing me!!!
Here in Amish country we don't get exposed to much other than "accidental benign" nuclear fallout from Three Mile Island. You wouldn't believe the size of the catfish in the Susquehanna River. Some are big as houseboats, but it's those two-headed calves that creep me out the most. |
|
|
|
|
Oh noes! I've been found out!  |
|
|
|
|
about your rules,
1- i would not write anything to mike tyson in fear of getting bitten on the ear. i know people can chew on one another pretty good around here, but i want to keep all the parts i was born with.
2-im a smoker who likes to listen to barry while making love. you have personally offended me.
3-good, i like it
4-been too long since i took anatomy, and i cant remember which parts of the brain controll what, so i will take your word on it.
5-never heard of the the swedish catapult society. now if you had mentioned the All Swedish Swimteam, you would have kept my attention.
6-i think you added a couple of extra numbers. you should have made the cut off around 4.
so in keeping with your rules i propose the following,
My dog is better than yours, and i know this for a fact, because Mike Tyson told me so and Barry sang a song about it. My gray really doesnt matter at this time, because i have consumed too much Grolsch (lets give a shout out to Holland).
I love jokes as much as the next person, as long as they are that. A joke. Bad part is some people (at least thats what i think they are) can not tell the difference.

Sorry think your sentece structure is way to complex for show people to comprehend, besides not sure its in their nature to be courtesious to others as shown on this board over, and over, and over. We are too worried about stolen dogs, bashing working dog breeders and politics to have real learning discussion. |
|
|
|
|
gefauhr: If sentence structure is way to complicated for show line enthusiasts, apparently spelling is way to complicated for working line enthusiasts. |

Perhaps a good dose with the herbal dewormer that is flashing on the banner ad continually is in order???

I like Barry Manilow but wouldnt give you three shakes of a racoon tail for Mike Tyson...
We all need a few laughs.....smile ...your on candid camera....??? does that date me?
Oli has rules we just dont follow them....all of us are guilty...so I'll go pick a yellow rose from my rose garden and go play with my kids...its late and my eyes are blurred SO I BETTER USE CAPS NOW SO I CAN SEE THE LETTERS...
I THINK ITS TIME FOR A PICTURE THREAD...SOMEONE GET ONE STARTED....IM GOING TO BED....CHECK IT OUT TOMORROW AND WILL POST A NEW PIC.... |
|
|
|
|
perhaps we should all have a nice cup of tea................................and relax.........dear me yellowrose you is lookin verry red!!! are you o.k.?
biscuit anyone? |
|
|
|
|
| ta, i'll have a jaffa cake, although technically thats not a biscuit............or is it!? ;~) |
|
|
|
|
How about if Oli (or who ever) deletes a thread, have the decency and grace to respect his wishes and let it go. |
|
|
|
|
not shure but is only 1g of fat...good eh |
|
|
|
|
How about if you are shown for being wrong, you apologize, instead of sticking to your guns, even if you KNOW you were wrong. A decent human being apologizes when they say something they later find out was not the truth. We all say things in anger, but later, when you understand that what you said was to hurt, and was not actually the truth, a DECENT human being apologizes.
Do the Right thing.
Oh, by the way. The answer to my riddle above is "Smelly Fore pack with fleas" |
|
|
|
|
i have put me tail between me legs....lots of times...so i am gud we cant get it right all the time. |
|
|
|
|
Keep it up, DoRight, eventually even Oli will get disgusted & toss you out. |
|
|
|
|
DING DING..................TEA...........CHILL |
|
|
|
|
Good idea! I would love some cold tea.  |
|
|
|
|
I do not have a problem with that sue stink. I do not live for this web site. My life will be just fine if Oli bans me from here. But, until and if that happens, I will do what I have to do, in order to show you for what you are. A pathetic slanderous liar, who flames others to make herself seem "special.
Yes, Ms. Yuck, you can hope that I will just "go away", but it ain't gonna happen. You slandered me. You lied about me. You cursed at me. You made your own bed. Lie drunk in it.
Do the right thing. The decent thing. |
|
|
|
|
On the other hand a nice cup of warm tea would also be nice. |
|
|
|
|
I have had what I think are Jaffa cakes - with orange inside? If they are what I'm thinking of they would go very nicely with a hot cuppa. |
|
|
|
|
mmm you guys have me warming up water now. Thinking of making my coffee a tea today. It's kinda chilly this morning. Something warm sounds nice. |
|
|
|
|
All too soon the nice chilly mornings will be gone and it will be summer and hot as the blazes! |
|
|
|
|
The hotter, the better. I like it hot. I hate the cold. As a matter of fact, I am looking for somewhere to move to warmer weather. I went on a web site that has you put in some info about yourself, likes and dislikes, things that are important and things that are not important, and it tells you the best place for you to live.
It told me Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
I think I will find my own spot. Looking at California, San Antonio or more likely than not, Brooksville, Florida.
Now, I just have to convince my darling c/w the hotter weather. She is having those "flashes", ya know. But they will go away in another TEN YEARS OR SO! |
|
|
|
|
So which did you decide - coffee or tea and did you have any goodies with it? |
|
|
|
|
I think you could make a fortune if you could invent some sort of dog ear protection or hat to keep out the foxtails, I'd invest!
Jeff (op) always writes such good articles, always funny but on point too. |
|
|
|
|
The cost per hat couldn't be half of a vet visit to remove a fox tail. 1 of my dogs went in twice and both times had to be sedated. The other female was calm and held still so they could get it out without knocking her to the moon. That male died in August so he wont be bringing any home but Miss Prey Freak, is the one that darts into the field after rabbits |
|
|
|
|
It happened more than once to my Zorba too. Once his ear drum was pierced. He had to be sedated each time too. If you could figure out some sort of hat or netting that could slip over the ears and keep the fox tails out I would be forever grateful. |
|
|
|
|
One thing Sue...I'm good with ideas, but not sewing. LMAO I'd rather bake cookies than sew. Hell, I'd rather take a bite from my dog than sew. I used to have one of those netted fly masks for my horses, one had netting over the ears too. I have issues with flies here in summer too, so that would be killing two birds for me. That ugly, slimey SWAT I use on their ears I hate getting on my fingers too. You can still feel it after you wash your hands. |
|
|
|
|
| eeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!!! YUK! |
|
|
|
|
I found a place locally I can now get tea in the leaf form. And the tea press to brew it in. What a difference from the store bought tea bags. A nice hot cuppa does sound good right now. 
Cashel does a nice job on fly masks and other fly protection equipment. Maybe sombody should suggest one to them for the GSD?
http://www.cashelcompany.com/
|
|
|
|
|
I love Cashel's stuff. I hate SWAT. And I'm curious about the tea press. I was told about coffee presses which would be really handy for when on callouts. I HATE instant. Do they work well?
We had a hell of a problem with foxtails when we lived back East. I bet there would be a market for a head net for dogs. |
|
|
|
|
Maybe I'll look into one. The damn perculator thing is worse than no coffee at all. Well, almost. |
|
|
|
|
Foxtails????????????????????? Someone please enlighten me.... the only ones I know of are what come from those tall reeds down by water... |
|
|
|
|
foxtails look something like wheat but the seed heads catch on and have a way of creeping deeper and deeper into the ears of dogs, horses etc and can cause pain and infection. A wild weed they are. Not the kind by the water those are different if I'm thinking of the same ones you are. I think the ones by the water are cat tails. |
|
|
|
|
It's because each of the "hairs" that make up the seed head is barbed and very sharp, so they go deeper and deeper. It is not even uncommon for them to go through the bottom of the dogs foot, even through the tear duct of the eye and get very badly infected. If Louise reads this post, I'm sure she has some nasty foxtail stories from when she worked at vet hosp. 
They are around an inch long, and each plant has many seed heads. |
|
|
|
|
Foxtails are nasty and "sticky" feeling. They get into everything. Thanks for the picture, no wonder you are on the board of directors on the Shepuahua project. Smart cookie. I can almost feel those darn things while looking at the picture. |
|
|
|
|
I think you all should have a nice, warm, cup of 3 Ballerina Tea.
Try it...really...the results are fascinating. It will even give you time away from the computer while you work things out in the Head.
4pack - lol - you can bake me cookies and I'll do the sewing...I am working on my handquilting skills :):):)
Animules - How are the results with that thing? I tend to like my teah very green...as far as my coffe pot - it's a machine that uses LaVazza pods...aaah, how it satisfies my need for Italian Coffee!
Cheers :)

French Press - veeeeery cool !!! |
|
|
|

Cate,
The lose leaf tea in a press is wonderful. I also picked up a measuirng spoon for "the perfect pot of tea", a 4-cup pot. Finding a store that carries the tea was the hard part.
The coffee is different from filtered coffee as you get more of the natural oils, good if you like a stronger coffee, not so good if you like weak coffee. I like stronger coffee. |
|
|
|
|
lolI like Italian style coffee which tends to be a weeee bit more flavorful than anything you find in the states. My grandmother (lives in Milano) describes American coffee as brown water O.o
~Cate |

Hope no one thinks down on me for twitching over here just a little surprised at where this forum is gone to.........
Along the line of coffee I like a specific blend called Velvet Moon..... an espresso blend.... |
|
|
|
|
it really would be nice if everybody got along. on the subject of drinks, i like HonestTea with alot of honey, it's good cold or hot. yeah i know this name doesn't fit with this particular messageboard; i still have my gsd spunky too and nobody is answering my post in the poodle section. have a great day everyone. |
|
|
|
|
Probably there aren't too many poodle people aware of this forum yet. Do you have a picture of your new dog? Can you post a link to the picture, I'm sure we would all love to see her. |
|
|
|
|
no pix yet, i need to buy a digital camera, then my friends can help me with that, kind of computer illiterate, and my hunk of junk ran out of memory so i couldn't do it myself even if i knew how. i already added memory once at computer renaissance but they told me i should get a better computer. lol, now i know why publishers clearinghouse sold me mine for so cheap. |
|
|
|
|
Do right and fear no one
I apologize for my lack of attention to detail on my spelling, however, my typing is really worse than my spelling. I will try to uphold the good rep of us working folk. The point being, this board spends a great deal of time on issues of show people bickering about stolen dogs, other peoples ugly heads, rather than discussing training issues, sharing experiences with diet, etc. |
|
|
|
|
gefauhr: I understand. I just got a little uptight because of the attack on showline people, I have both show and work lines, but I saw the opportunity to make a "funny" upon reading your post. You have to admit that it was funny, even if at your expense.
Your point, about the substance of your posting is mostly right on. I would not agree that show people are not as intelligent as working line people though, and that was a point you made in your initial posting
It is like ice cream. There is chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and many other flavors. I am not required to like what you like nor am I required to like what Capt, Stephanitz liked. YOu are not required to like what I like either. As soon as we ALL recognize that, we will get along better, on here and everywhere else.
I do not care for the biting part of schutzhund. The rest of schutzhund is fabulous. Many may like the biting part most of all, with the rest being secondary. We SHOULD be able to debate these things and other things, without belittling each other. But it rarely happens. It is like telling someone that their kid is ugly. Even if their kid is ugly and they recognize it, there will be a fight or very heated argument. Just the way things are. We fight for and protect what is ours. That includes our view on things.
Have a good day or night, depending on where you are. |
|
|
|
|
I take nothing personal, and yes it was very funny!!!!!, I understand, but the same reasons I really dont support the AKC anymore is becuase the overwelming amount of concern for vanity makes me sick., However, this board needs a moderator in the worst way, I think that would help guide this board in a direct, show or working to germain and usefull discusions dont you think? |
|
|
|
|
I haven't been here for several weeks. Been busy. But from the jist of things, apparently there are moderators here now. Just don't know if they are board members or someone hired to do the job. |
|
|
|
|
| thinking about it, the gremlins ( moderators) must get through a lot of coffee, they should chill a bit and have a strawberry and banana smoothie instead, or not feed after midnight. |
|
|
|
|
hmm or even some celestial seasonings tension tamer.... when I get upset about someone here on the board I usually just take a sip and relax. After all no one on here truly knows anyone else therefor there is no good reason to get upset when a complete stranger decides they don't like you because the little voices in your head called the little voices in their head crazy.... |
|
|
|
|
aaaaaaaaaaahhhh zen. and tea. |
|
|
|
|
zen green tea..... wonderful brand |
|
|

magical, but you cant beat a cuppa tetleys. |

I used to drink tetleys, then I found the lose leaf brewed in a press. There's no going back.  |
|
|
|

Hey duddly do right, you rang?
"Okay. I'll bite. If you start with the RatPackKing, subtract the big mouse because his nose fell off. Have a King who is really a drag Queen so that eliminates the King. Add an albino skunk for smell. Throw in some dog fleas just because this is a dog site. Teach Mike Tyson how to lip sync so that he joins Barry Manilow and forms a duet known as Manilow Vanilow, which gets rid of them as they go on their world wide tour, and finally you are at a golf course making that first big drive off the tee. What do you have left?"
and you point was....................? |
|
|
|
|
My point, in case it went over your head "zing", there it goes again. My point was the point of this thread. Proposed rule number 2 reads :
2) If you must insult someone please be original. Profanity while never really being appropriate is just too easy. Now if someone posts that a person has the intellectual capacity of a ground squirrel whose mother had been exposed extensively to both second hand smoke and Barry Manilow music, then you would have my attention.
My point was to insult 4pack in a novel original way, and nothing more. You can let the hair on the back of your neck relax.
I did use your name on this site, precisely because it is known on this site, and not to denegrate you. I was trying to be witty and original in my insult towards her. It was not an insult towards you and I believe that is obvious from the get-go. |

| anybody here tried thai chi? i hear its wonderful for stress, relaxes the mind, body and soul. |

Thai chi is wonderful, with a bit of a spicy kick to it. Om.... Namaste.  |

Ninja weirdo:
Just a question from one weirdo to another weidero, what is up with the signings of your posts with mass murderers names? You do it frequently. Is this some kind of subliminal message or are you a fan of these nuts? I am sure there is a logical explanation forthcoming. Can't wait, but I won't hold my breath.
Here are two from this thread linked below, and they have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. Very curious.
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/bulletins_read/170305.html#170378
(1) "Alright Don you're off the hook with that explanation.
I guess I owe you a few happy pills.
I'll have my Showline bring them over. His grip is not hard enough to break the bottles.
Jeffrey Dalmer"
(2) DC, you're really labeling the older members of the board here! You know people in their 60s like happy pills too, so we can't be all that bad.
Charles Manson!!!
PS I'll bet most Showlines aren't owned by BLUE HAIRS!
It's 5:04 PM here and I don't have my pajamas on yet!"
P.S. Ninja dud: I enjoyed your use of the big word and your "happy Pills" reference. Funny stuff. However, It makes me think of a similar word that may apply to your situation. Narcotism. Do you need help? 1-800-narc-anon. But, don't tell them your name is John Wayne Gacy as they may hang up on you. Just use a name like Julia Smith or something similar. Just trying to help with your problems.
|
|
|
|
|
Do fight! Instead of lobbing rhetorical hand grenades why not put on your high-definition turban, stroll down to the center of town and see if they will give you a ride on "The Big Red Fire Truck"?
Don't play Detective with me, you're a pathetically unimportant individual!
P.S. Have the voices inside your head told you to threaten any more children lately? |
|
|
|
|
Is that a rhetorical question?
I have never threatened any children and you can not prove that I have ever done so.
I have never threatened a woman and you can not prove I have ever done so. I admit I have threatened a few men in my day and if you were a man, I would threaten you with an ass whoopin. That would not be against my personal rules, like it or not.
I have taught a few ninja's a thing or two though.
Now, about that mass murderer thing. Care to give any explanation at all? Anything? Even a convoluted one? Or are you just not going to "go there"?
In your previous postings, you have represented yourself as an elderly lady, as a ninja, as Charles Manson, as Jeffrey Dahmer (correct spelling by the way. You never DID get that one right, but that is because he is not in the dictionary where you look up your other words every posting), and other assorted "types".
The detective in me detects (that is what detectives do, detect :), that you are a teenage girl with mental problems. Therefore I will no longer spar with you as I will be accused of picking on young girls and also on the mentally "challenged". Have a nice life young lady, with your "happy pills" and your paperback books on those wonderful mass murderers you so worship and adore.
You ARE sick young lady. Seek help. I can do only so much through the internet. You need professional help.
Bye |

Do Do Fight:
Your posts sound like they were authored by an intoxicated orangutan. You are chronically clueless to the size of two people. You seem to have a compulsion to add dangling bits of pointlessness to everything.
Thankfully, though, I have now identified the problem, you're NUTS.
Enjoy your Gay Midget Porn! You mental Midget! |
