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.

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.

Really? You can show me that, I'm sure.... I thought your complaint was that all these dog people didn't post at all about the human tragedy. Now you're saying that that dog lovers are the cause of all the racist garbage on the forum?

So you attack the people on the threads that are compassionate about the pet situation, rather than attack on the threads that lack compassion. Like I said. Wimpy. If you're tired of fighting on the other threads, I don't blame you, but why take all your agression out on the one place that you find compassion?

Personally, I don't think the difference in tone should surprise you. The pets are helpless and without the political baggage involved in the human tragedy. People are complicated and political. Pets are not. Since I am here on my free time, I spend it how I wish. And since I don't see arguing on a forum as actually ~solving~ anything, I pick the fights I want to have carefully.
