I think histrionic is a pretty accurate description of the post in question; Stating that one has been ‘mauled’ is bound to evoke a pretty emotional response, and a cry for healing even more. If not meant literally, it seems calculated to draw sympathetic responses, especially in the context of a dog attack.

You assign way too much to a passing comment. However, that could beg the question, if just a passing comment why not just let it pass? The answer of course is that it is FR chit chat.

And now that I think of it, were you eavesdropping on my conversation with another FReeper? LOL.
