A disturbing trend.....

you are right, that is very disturbing, not to mention wrong. i am sorry anyone would say such things to you.
 
i do have a suggestion for those who feel they disagree with someones post or think they need to cop an attitude. next time try this [linkhttp://www.netdisaster.com/]http://www.netdisaster.com/[/link]
 
just copy and paste the url of the post you feel the need to be immature about and have at it.
 
just because this is the internet doesnt mean those arent real people on the other end, with real feelings.

What is wrong with people? Do they really have NOTHING better to do than "hate" on someone...especially someone they do not even know and never will! What is the point, really? I also think that these people are unhappy with their lives and/or themselves that they find it necessary to take out their anger on others.

I am just glad that there are sooooo many nice people here on iDog, versus meanies.

Sorry Glenda that this person had to be so rude and crude. I am glad that you reported them...I do believe they will get what they deserve. They just need to say those things to the wrong person at the wrong time and they will get it.

I have no idea what happened with your DH and sister...but either way they were out of line and should not be attacking your family...that is on the verge of maliciousness...what sick people....

We are all on your side!! []

(Sorry to everyone else that got nasty e-mails/PM's...there is no excuse for that kind of behavior!)

Twin, DH found out on Thursday that he has to have a cardiac cath done on Tuesday.  Hopefully they can angio and stent any blockages.  Then FRIDAY my sister found out that she has a HOLE in her heartand is seeing a cardiac surgeon, also on Tuesday.  Her whole family was tested since my 26 year old nephew came very near to death when his heart started racing at 250 or 260!  He had to have a defibulator installed.
 
Come to think of it....Thursdays and Fridays tend to be hazardous.  My MOM was released from the hospital on a Thursday, after getting her pacemaker and nephew went INTO the hospital the next day......maybe I should boycott those days??  Or drink my way through them...gonna have to be something stronger than coffee tho!

Working in the trades, we often slam each other hard. My good friend Lee would say after a good lunch. "Now, I'm full and feel totally useless." And I would say, "How can we tell the difference between now and before?" All in good fun.
 
But family was off limits. And our jibes were just jests. Then again, it was best to keep your opinion about someone's family to yourself. You might find yourself face to face with someone who wishes to draw exception to a low opinion of their family. In cyberworld, you can't square off against someone. The nasty may be half way across the country and you'll never meet them. I was raised that if you can say something about someone, you can say it to them, to their face. So, don't say something about someone that you can't say directly to them.
 
I can also borrow something that we use at work. For the person who doesn't like this thread. Sorry about your luck.
 

That's right, you never bring someones family into it...that's just plain wrong. That is a personal attack below the belt...and for what exactly...to make them feel better about themselves? GRRRRRR.....

Why exactly are they sending you messages bringing your family into it anyway? Was there even a purpose to the e-mail...or was it just to vent their maliciousness? [:@]

Glenda I am so sad to hear about your family. I am so glad that you are strong...that is exactly what your DH and sister need right now. By you being so strong it will help them stay strong. I hope all goes well and I will be sending you good wishes and prayers. [&:]

well said Ron [sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif]some people are just mean, and cowardly, its easy to say something mean in a post.
 

Glenda, stand a bottle of Baileys next to your coffee maker. []

WOW!! I cannot believe someone had the audacity to pm/email that. The funny thing is they mention "Kharma(apparently the genius can't spell correctly) and yet doesn't realize that karma works both ways. What a sorry piece of filth. How anyone can defend such actions is beyond me and I wish that someone will pm/email me some garbage like that. I can guarantee that I won't be as kind as Glenda. [:@]

And, yes, you are absolutely right. Idog is a very supportive and positive community. I honestly don't think I'd have gotten through this past summer without you guys. Or heck, the last couple years for that matter. I honestly think of idog as an warm and mostly loving community and I know what folks here I can count on for a cyber hug when I need one!

Glenda. . .I am glad to hear that you feel that way. There has been sooo much I have learned from you and other i-doggers and to think that someone is letting things getting too personal and making hateful attacks is very upsetting. [:@]

It doesn't take reading many of your posts to realize that you are a very caring person who is willing to help so many.  Folks may have very different opinions on things and that is fine, it is part of the learning but to personally attack you through e-mails and pm's is disgusting.  [:'(]

There are lots of things I don't agree with in people's posts and sometimes it is upsetting how personal the attcks can get but you are one of the first to jump in and remind them not to personally attack eachother.  I chose to stay out most those threads because I just get annoyed, but have seen enough to know that you often jump in with a 'reminder'[]

I am so sorry you got this e-mail and the timing and wording was enough to really sting. Hope you know that you are liked and respected by many here! []  Good luck to you and DH during this difficult time!

Shelly, Jimmy James and Prudence

I'm sorry Glenmar.  Some people really have no lives.

I've been meaning to write to you about your multi-challenges within the family, and now this! Well, everyone has said everything else, so I'm just going to say

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Glenda}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I thought this forum didn't have any childish people here, people are entilted to there opinions but I do not understand when it gets personal and someone slangs of at someone like that gezz must have a very lonely life.

Sheesh, it's hard to understand how someone could be so cruel.  Know that most of us are lighting candles and saying prayers for you and your family.  I was hoping it was some kind of spambot, but it seems too personal for that.

I haven't sent or received too many PM's or emails, but the ones I have received have always been clearly marked as to who and where they were from, so I'm wondering why yours aren't.

Many people could learn a lesson from you. As you have said before, when you get tired of something I'm posting, you just ignore it, no harm no foul. I would suggest that whoever is harassing you do the same. Just ignore what someone says if you don't agree with it. Or disagree and leave it at that.
 

Glenda,
 I have not received a PM from you nor an e-mail to my home e-mail addy which I know you have. I was not in the "office" on Friday as I was showing in the am and at the groom expo for work in the afternoon.
Please send this specific e-mail to my home addy and I will review it and move forward from there once I read it
 
For everyone else...
Personalities and "attitudes" on this forum do get in the way of people being civil to each other on and off the forum. I compile the information I get on and off and handle it as a "pattern" everyone has a bad day including myself. Compiled behavior is a pattern, which is why everyone gets the three strikes.
As I've had to type over and over and should make a form letter some days...NO ONE KNOWS nor will they know when another member is called for their behavior other then the person and myself, if they want to share with the class they can.
