Some people can't help themselves, even if something happened five years ago.

Some people see a person having a bad day, who writes an OP, has a couple of posts hidden, and then go into Hyena mode, trying to get them to become even angrier.

I call it bullying and I won't entertain them.

I can relate to Bob's story: The dog he shot was a deadly vicious dog with a record, one that animal control or police could easily have dispatched legally and in some places would be legal to put down by the likes of Bob for being a menace. And, if it wasn't legal it sure wouldn't be a felony, if it was ever prosecuted at all.

And to take that action, to put a vicious animal down with a shotgun, quickly, after being attacked himself and seen other dogs victimized, doesn't take away from the man's compassion for animals and defense of no-kill animal sanctuaries. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

Bullies need to get away from this thread and leave the man alone.

Irony is not fucking dead. LeftyMom Apr 2014 #1

seriously...how many years are you going to stalk me backwoodsbob Apr 2014 #2

You kind of walked into that one. Gidney N Cloyd Apr 2014 #4

not really backwoodsbob Apr 2014 #5

BWB, the thing you're known best for here is shooting that dog. Gidney N Cloyd Apr 2014 #12

well you didn't just shoot the dog, you bragged about it CreekDog Apr 2014 #16

OMG wtf? nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #57

Whaaaaaaat....the.....fuuuuuck? Cali_Democrat Apr 2014 #104

not really, it has never been like that JI7 Apr 2014 #3

Nope. Been here since March (or April) 2001, and DU is as it ever was n/t Blaukraut Apr 2014 #21

You mean you were the biggest no kill activist when you weren't killing dogs, Jamastiene Apr 2014 #7

Post removed Post removed Apr 2014 #9

i hope this one lived CreekDog Apr 2014 #13

I think people need to let the dog shooting thing go BainsBane Apr 2014 #15

So, no kill should really mean, no kill unless backwoodsbob feels like it? Jamastiene Apr 2014 #19

All I know is what was in the post above BainsBane Apr 2014 #20

If you saw the original thread, Jamastiene Apr 2014 #28

I agree fully with you, BainsBane. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #31

wait skip, are you saying that Backwoodsbob regrets what he posted? CreekDog Apr 2014 #50

He was proud of what he did, and what he did is illegal, so it is not bullying to remind him. Jamastiene Apr 2014 #68

funny we're talking about dogs but you post incontrovertible proof and... CreekDog Apr 2014 #97

isn't shooting a chained dog a felony CreekDog Apr 2014 #47

first, it wouldn't have killed the other dog while chained up CreekDog Apr 2014 #78

If it had just happened, I might get into the details BainsBane Apr 2014 #79

well we're rehashing it because some here are defending what the guy did CreekDog Apr 2014 #82

There is a point to bring it up when he is trying to claim to be a no kill activist. Jamastiene Apr 2014 #88

+1 n/t NealK Apr 2014 #120

I commend you for saying that. Bonobo Apr 2014 #106

he's an example of what his OP describes CreekDog Apr 2014 #115

I don't see how it relates to the OP. Here is what I see: Bonobo Apr 2014 #116

Let it go. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #32

It is not bullying when he bragged about it. Jamastiene Apr 2014 #74

you're the one doubting his story, not us CreekDog Apr 2014 #86

except that hfojvt Apr 2014 #54

why are you defending what is not only illegal, but likely a felony? CreekDog Apr 2014 #56

empathy? hfojvt Apr 2014 #89

you seem to be unclear about whether chaining up a dog then shooting it multiple times CreekDog Apr 2014 #93

Don't bother. NYC_SKP Apr 2014 #98

You can relate? flvegan Apr 2014 #112

how many dogs have you shot on a bad day? CreekDog Apr 2014 #113

THIS. Just this. nt AverageJoe90 Apr 2014 #26

so you're saying backwoodsbob wishes he never shot the dog CreekDog Apr 2014 #52

You're the voice of reason, and probably right. nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #58

Really? flvegan Apr 2014 #108

i wonder what your drink of choice is? CreekDog Apr 2014 #17

Two words. MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #29

Don't forget the mocking ProSense Apr 2014 #35

Is there a particular TWM post that illustrates the problem? MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #62

You likely do already. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #64

That's pretty unfair. MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #67

You know those posts are mocking. ProSense Apr 2014 #71

Do you feel you may have played a part in that? Or not? nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #59

In personal attacks? MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #60

In nurturing an atmosphere within which that became possible. nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #61

I somehow gave people permission for personal attacks? MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #66

Hm... I didn't ask if you gave permission to, or if you attacked. I simply asked... Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #69

Only to the extent that people holding certain views might feel silly MannyGoldstein Apr 2014 #72

Again, I had asked if you helped nurture an atmosphere within which that could take place. Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #77

Please don't bother. I've read plenty of your posts. (nt) scarletwoman Apr 2014 #43

She offered you links Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #44

See, you're helping to change the atmosphere, right? n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #46

The weren't my "posts." They were OPs about me. ProSense Apr 2014 #45

Well you did not seem to think it was inappropriate when you made an OP pecking another DUer Bjorn Against Apr 2014 #65

That OP addressed specific and vile name calling. n/t ProSense Apr 2014 #70

Make all the excuses you want, your post was vile Bjorn Against Apr 2014 #73

You misunderstood ProSense Apr 2014 #80

Everyone can see the vile personal attack you made against Will Bjorn Against Apr 2014 #87

That's ProSense Apr 2014 #92

OH! So you believe it's perfectly all right to trash the president? Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #75

Don't put words in my mouth. Bjorn Against Apr 2014 #76

Too late. I saw your post and link before you edited them. nt Sarah Ibarruri Apr 2014 #81
