About all these Pit Bull threads (positive & negative)

[Peace4EarthNow]

For quite some time now, FReepers on both sides of this pit bull issue have been arguing, attacking, & harassing the "other side". What has this accomplished? Unfortunately very little except anger & strife amongst fellow republicans on this message board.

I think it has gotten to the point now where both sides should pretty much be able to concur that this is pointless, as it is unlikely that either side is going to change their mind.

We are all FReepers, and there is no use in turning against each other on any issue. We need to stay united to fight against political policies & laws that democrats are trying to implement.

Can we all agree from this point on, that not only do both sides have a right to post articles about pit bulls, either positive or negative, but that they have a right to discuss their views in their own thread without concern about the "other side" coming in to their thread to harass, attack or annoy them because of their views? (yes, I know that was a run on sentence...LOL!).

Basically, from now on, if you don't agree with the subject of the pit bull thread, either positive or negative, please, please don't go in it. Just let that "side" discuss it amongst themselves. If someone from "the other side" does come in to your thread & try to create trouble, just hit the "report abuse" button, then ignore them. Hopefully then they will get the message. This issue is not worth fighting amongst each other about.

I know that when these disagreements started in each others threads, I said some things that I regret, because that is not the type of person I am, or want to be. For that, I apologize.

So what do you say? Can both sides agree right now that we each have a right to disagree, and finally call a truce?

Thanks!!

It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.

Sounds like you’re calling for Religion Forum-style moderation.

All hail St. Staffordshire?

Your bark is worse than your bite.

This entire issue has gone to the dogs.

Who says we’re all Republicans, by the way? I don’t know what I am these days, but the GOP doesn’t seem to be my party anymore...

As long as nobody asks whether pit-bulls were created or if they evolved over time, I think we're in good shape.

[2ndClassCitizen]

My pet python would take offense at that.

Amen. While in Korea I learned to love all dog, but pit bulls are a little tough. ;-)

I hear their pedigrees are engraved on golden plates.
