Your priorities are manifest. You post to a dog thread and are absent from the threads where old women are being jerked out of their houses and put in camps. Oh well - you have to have priorities! We know what yours are.

First of all, Nov3, I wouldn't say the threads on FR dealing with human evacuees have been bastions of compassion. The amount of bad attitude, racism, negativity and hostility on much of FR in the last week was abyssmal. I argued myself sick in the first couple of days just trying to get people on some of the threads to treat the evacuated people like citizens of this county, let alone human beings.

Maybe you were on the right side in that fight, I don't know. But if you haven't tired of the ugliness of personal attack on this forum, then there's something wrong with your priorities, and your preferred method of entertainment.

I for one am sick of it. If you want to pick fights, there's lots to be had.... out in those other threads you think are so important. If you want to pick fights and bully dog lovers, I think that's pretty wimpy.

I think we were on the same page there. The total lack of compassion I saw on this site sickened me. If you go over these dog threads you will see many of the people who talked about the people in NO like they were subhuman acting like the dogs are a great tragedy. The dog situation is a tragedy. They don't deserve to die like this. However the contrast in the threads sickens me.
