I guess I just need a bit of validation. I'm being harassed by an unstable pre-teen.....see question:

Sometimes the only correct answer is the vigorous application of a clue-by-four.
*edit*
I find myself amused that the referenced question is no longer on the servers...

lol No sometimes I wonder whxh foot I could plant in their asps! If I could that is!
You do get a bit tired of answering these questions over and over again. Personally I'm surprised that there haven't been alot more right after Christmas! I figured there would be a flood of why is my new puppy peeing everywhere type questions. I've only seen a few!
Cheer up my dear school will be back in session soon and then we only have to put up with the dim whitted adults! ;)

No - you are not a prick. You are just smarter than JakeBrink and even your best attempts to dumb it down into terms he can grasp aren't sinking in.
Maybe the 12-14 years old guess was a little high?
Golden Gal is right. He's probably home alone right now because his parents had to work this week, but school is back in next week. Good riddance!

I think you did great & kudos for working with the rescue!
I think people forget that Pits were never bred to be aggressive to humans as you said. It's in the breed description sheesh. The dogs had to be able to be called off & if one ever attacked a human they were destroyed. This human aggression thing is fairly recent (talking 30 years here) because of the idiots that buy them for the reputation not the facts. I love this breed & living in Ontario, Canada the BSL against them kills me. It's the owner.
I wish ppl would learn to spell & not use shortforms (save it for texting) & I think you were perfectly right to say what you did!

No I've found that there are a LOT of children on this site and ask silly questions all the time. I was being harassed by one person that I believe was a child and blocked him from emailing me.
Hey you said what you felt you had to say. Children are resilient. He or she will live.

lol i have no idea why he responded that way. I even looked back at some of his questions that you answered and it looks like he's just had a bad day, or a bored day, and needs somebody to yell at. I would hate to be his dog...sheesh..living with that would be a serious pain.
and i like that fact that for all of his "experience", he has a total of 5 best answers out of his whole Yahoo!Answers career. Some go-to guy, right?

Hmmmmm somebody's having issues, Rachel. Trolls like that person are aptly named and really are an interesting phenomenon.
Nope, you're not being a prick. Just like the bully on the school field, best to ignore your personal troll (and hit that ol' report button)

Deep breaths.
Ok.. you can remind me I said this when I get frustrated and start to go off the deep end:
You're here to help those who need help and are willing to learn. You make a difference by being here and teaching people. Anyone who is not open-minded enough to learn or who feels a need to be an idiot is not worth the time or the emotion. Ok?

HAHAHA. Interesting that he is going to be a vet in about a year, but he still can't tell the difference between the letter "u" and the word "you". I wonder how he did on the verbal section of the GRE?

I dont think u are being harsh at all. I think you are wasting your time. As an adult why are you going around in circles with a child? esp a teen.....teens know everything............so like my Momma always taught us..........when you are arguing with a fool it is best to quickly agree with the fool else it becomes hard for anyone to figure out who the fool is........and a fool is one who thinks they know everything.
