Can you believe how touchy some people get?

Question

Subject: Re: Go **** yourself you insensitive *****.
Message: Too old, hahahaha. If you really cared, you would be over there helping and supporting the troops. Instead, you probably drive around your Hummer with a yellow ribbon on the back of it, right? That's how you support our troops. Hahahahaha, what a hypocrite *** you are!Just because you don't use bad words (wow, I'm so impressed with your "politeness") [yeah right], you certainly have a way of belittling people and being nasty which in my book is MUCH worse than calling people names like *****.
You obviously don't have one compassionate bone in your body (or is it because you have osteoporosis?)
How can I NOT read your stupid answers...they are all on the cat board. And yeah, I like cats, so it is perfectly logical for me to be there. Mine are all indoor, all spayed/neutered and have all their damn shots before you go on your stupid preaching rampage about your "feelings" for cats.

You know what? I was scooping the litter boxes this morning, and then my kitten went right in after because they were all clean and took a big smelly dump. Is it irony that I thought of you when that happened while I was scooping it out? Yeah, he is so dirty that he actually *prefers* clean new litter to do his business. You don't know a damn thing about cats, so stop pretending.

And why the hell won't you respond to the fact that you are NOT Canadian??? Haven't come to terms with that yet, eh?

Damn, Maine should just break off into the Atlantic Ocean where it belongs.

All this because THEY didnt' LIKE my answers, I couldnt print out the others, they were just too mean and nasty. I find it funny that some people take this soooo seriously! Has anyone else had nasty notes sent? I'm keeping mine. They make for entertaining reading. Oh yeah, to the person who keeps e-mailing me, it really doesn't "get to me" You make me laugh and I thank you for that! You are just too easy to get all riled up! I wish I had you for a neighbour!!

this is in response to my hatred of cats, and this is an example of just ONE e-mail, I just posted it to give an example of how touchy people get, I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE! This does NOT affect me in my day to day living. As I responded to them, you can not ASSUME to KNOW the person you are communicating with on the internet. I could be the person sitting next to you at work, I could be your boss, your subordinate, you doctor, you pet shop CSR, your bus driver. You never know and everyone here knows you can be anything or anyone you want to be on the internet. Just an observation that I don't see discussed. And I put this in cats because I find it funny that people are so easily worked up when you say you don't like cats!

angiem,,,,it's the ANSWERS I give that seems to be the problem, so may I say that if you DON"T like my ANSWER, don't read them? I don't care if someone doesn't like me or agree with me on the internet. I don't care if someone doesn't agree with me in the REAL world either.
I yam what I yam.

okay, once again, I am NOT PO'D!! It takes a heck of a lot more than a faceless, nameless person from God know's where hurling insults to P me OFF! YIKES! Do some people REALLY get that upset? I just thought we were all having fun here!

LeeCee, maybe I didn't express my self clearly here, I DON'T care about the e-mails. I am NOT upset, I just wanted to share with all what some people e-mail and the hate THEY spew. I KNOW I am provoking you cat lovers. I EXPECT a response, I DON'T take it personally. I DO agree with you on keeping your cats inside, spaying and neutering and adopting shelter animals, ALL my dogs come from the shelter and I ALSO work (part time) with my local animal control and game warden. We find and rescue many hurt and abused animals. I also, sadly, have to pick up kitties that have been hit by cars and try to find the owner to let them know their pet is gone. I am trying to get legislation for licensing of cats, we do it for dogs, we should do it for cats. That way, we can LOCATE the owner when we recover a lost cat. And you know the licensing money goes to shelters.

on the same note, I have the legal right to protect my gardens from invading animals. That includes deer, raccoons, fishers, bobcats, coyote, and yes, dogs and cats. Diff with dogs, is they come when you call them and have a license (most of the time) and I can get a hold of the owner and THEN charge them for allowing their dogs to run. Serious offense in Maine. Really.

LeeCee, go read the b.a. I gave you and read the comments. I AGREE with you. WHY can't we all just GET ALONG?

actually, it's NOT a yellow ribbon, it's a Red White and Blue that says Freedom Isn't Free.

Answer 1

Thanks for sticking up for me to that stupid cat lady. This is what I left to her.

Thanks you to EVERYONE that stuck up for me about this question. It is no secret I DO HATE cats. I will admit all of the questions I have posted are MADE UP.

I do not care that you all know this now because I will ask more and people will not know I am kidding.

I about fall out of my seat laughing at the answers to my questions. I encourage everyone to read them. They are quite funny.

If you are wondering, I am 26, a male, married with 2 DOBERMANS, sell insurance and have not grown up yet. My wife who is a HS teacher laughs her butt off also.

I may change my name but the aviator will remain the same so careful!

Answer 2

Cindy, I can't believe you just posted this.

I guess I'm not that crazy after all, judging by the responses you got, eh? (She'll know what I'm talking about.) The yellow ribbon on the Hummer was funny though, you have to admit.

Shooting cats is not cool....it's not the cat's fault they are running around free, it's the stupid owners' faults who let them do that and don't get them fixed.

Answer 3

Cindy, a lot of folks who love animals regularly read the questions in the cat section. Many are on here to genuinely help other people with their cat questions. Then they see your posts about # whatever reason there is to hate cats, about shooting ones who come on to your property, you know what you've said. Of course they get upset. You've posted your contact information on your profile, so that leaves you open to a lot of people feeling the need to get back at you somehow. We are all free to say what we like here (until we get reported) but is it really necessary to provoke others the way you sometimes do? Show a little compassion. Cats are Gods creatures like everthing else, they are no more "evil" than any other animal (or human!) and deserve to be treated humanely. I've worked in animal rescue for a lot of years and have seen some pretty devastating abuse. The world would be a lot better place if we could treat all animals (and people) with kindness, respect and compassion.

....I read the posts and I agree it's a great idea to register, license, microchip, etc. cats to make them as easily trackable as dogs. Collars with tags, as well as official town records on who owns what animals is a great idea for cats AND dogs. I only lived in one town in my life where registration of cats was required. It breaks my heart to see dead cats lying on the side of the road with no collar, no identification, I feel so sorry for them, but less sorry for the irresponsible owners for letting them out to roam in the first place.

Answer 4

wow, what'd u say to piss that person off???? He or she was obviously pissed about something you posted. Hey, It is a free country, when you post on this board, you open urself up to all sorts of stuff like that.

I liked the Hummer/yellow ribbon rant too, that was freaking hilarious, it made me laugh. Thanks, I needed that!

On a personal note, maybe u shouldn't post people's e-mails to u on line. How would you like someone to do that to u?

Answer 5

You sound kinda touchy! Life will go on, don't worry about people who don't agree with you! No one will agree with everything someone else says, it's called opinion! And it is what you can expect to get when things are posted on the internet for everyone to read!

Answer 6

Did you let yourself run out of medication again? Good luck finding someone to prescribe you some this weekend.

Answer 7

Why not just live and let live? Who cares if other people like cats or not? If you don't that's your business and if they do, that's theirs. If you get pi**ed off about that kind of thing, you'll be pi**ed off all the time.

What is this Q about anyway?

Answer 8

I think I liked the [yellow ribbon on the Hummer] burn the best.

Answer 9

What in the world does that have to do with cats? Oh, I get it, I just saw some of your q&a. I guess that's what you're trying to do, and it works. Well, have fun.

Answer 10

I resent that What does Maine have to do with it.? Maines a lovely state.
