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!!
What’s the point of turning this forum into an echo chamber? I remember when it used to be okay to have a heated discussion with someone, then laugh and drink a beer and walk away. Now everyone is so damned sensitive.

If my kid comes up to me and says once “Mom, can I have...”, then I generally listen to their request. When they come up and say “Mom, mom, mommomomomomomomomomomom,” I tune them out. You are the latter. If you posted once in a while to have a heated discussion, I would read it and post, but the thirty threads a day thing gets old.
Swiper finds your lack of faith disturbing.
If one person can be led to doubt their preconceptions by the honest, responsible pit owners here on FreeRepublic, then all this is worth it. And anyway, dissent is patriotic. ;-P

It’s funny the stupid stuff people get really emotional and snippy about. Myself included. Some days i go home saying WTF. Oh well.
?? What was your previous handle?

You got that right.
Good for Free Republic. And good for the FReepathon.
Speaking of which... Have you got a total yet on how much money you have raised on your “Chet is a jerk-a-thon?”

I’m sure Jim Robinson and the rest of the officials at FRee Republic really appreciate all you are doing to raise money for this site.
Even at the expense of tearing into one another like rabid pit bulls who should be shot on site.
I agree. FR is about conservative politics; not this trash. I think people who try to incite this negative behavior should post them somewhere else. I also think they have an agenda other than what FR is about. Let’s stop this nonsense now. We don’t need to be wasting our time or energy with people who don’t care or want to understand anything because they have another agenda. My suggestion is if something is posted again; ignore it. That’s what I am doing.
I agree wholeheartedly with what you said, USMCWife. I could not have said it better.
Wouldn’t you have to have really small fingers for their tiny little udders???
Who’s that?
Very witty.....:O)
Hey, is that Susan Boyle in the front row??

Second from the right?
I think so!
I find that debatable.
