GINA??? BRENDA??? Gone?

LOL!! Everytime the rug ends up in a pic, people compliment  it. Osama Bin Mama bought it at Lowe's.
 
Speaking of Lilo and Stitch, do you know that Stitch was modeled after a Boston Terrier and that a Boston Terrier was used to make some of the noises he makes?

I don't get it. [sm=sad.gif] I'm gone for one day - I stop to check in, and WHAM - the format changes, everyone's fighting, people are being banned. What is happening?!

Janice,
I wish I could tell you... i think this whole thing with Brenda being banned is getting people very upset, which i can understand, but there is way to much arguing right now...
 
I'm thinking of leaving i-dog for a few days, let things cool off a bit.. ya know?

I know... I'm frantically trying to read everything, all the different posts, figure out what the heck is going on. I sure wasn't planning on THIS tonight. I'm guessing Brenda sent Joel a well-deserved PM nasty-gram, then he taddled to Jaime, and she booted Brenda off. ? Just a hunch. I guess it doesn't matter anymore. We just need to move on and think about our dogs which is why we are all here in the first place.

Sorry,
 Your hunch is wrong

Here's a solution;
 
Joel... Step down.  You can collect the emails of the people who like your jokes and want to hear updates on your dog's day but stay off the board.  You are causing others who are NEEDED to leave.  They are needed because this is a dog board, not because it is a joke of the day board. 
 
I personally agree with Roscoe's mom about not reading what I don't want to but I also don't read every thread because I don't need help or have interest in everything.  Brenda and Gina are more helpful in many ways and visit more threads to be helpful.  We need them to stay more than people need a joker.
 
Joel, I understand your religion and often your humor, but now it is time to stand up and do what's right and that is go to a message board where comedy is the topic and start a blog elsewhere for your followers here.

I didn't think that the day would ever come that I would be defending Joel, but......
 
It takes two to tango.  And I don't see HIM posting either.

Jan,
 
I know how you feel. I'm still trying to figure out the new forum and trying to figure out what all is happing since last night.
 
Gone less then 9 hours and all he double hockey stick breaks loose.

One is the administrator we need to keep the board up and running while the other is, well, let me be politically correct and not describe him?

Yep, there's two. One is the lord of the boards and one thinks he is.

NICELY put Kelly!!!
[sm=rofl.gif]

OH LORDY, PEOPLE!! if you're not attacking one person it is another!  Get over yourselves!  No one is perfect, and we all have different opinions, everyone is entitled, rather you like it or not. 
I think Jamie does a good job as moderator, and just because it doesn't go your way, she is wrong now too?...Pahleeeze. 
 
I'm SURE no one here with the exception of those directly involved know the entire story or ever will (since there is only one person talking about it who was actually involved), no matter what they have heard from one side or the other, and therefore, shouldn't speculate on what happened or who is in the wrong, and I think it would be irresponsible and just plain wrong to choose sides or place blame with out all of the info from both sides. 
I too got the email from Brenda, in which she states herself that she used some vulgarity at one time or another(I won't go into detail), is vulgarity or insults ever an  appropriate way to deal with something you don't like?  I don't think so.

Good freaking lord. We really, really need an eye rolling emoticon. Really. I'm sorry if I ruffle feathers here, but I have never seen a bunch of adults act like such children. I belong to a board filled with mostly teenagers and early twenties that sort out their problems better than this. Somehow I doubt that Jamie just runs around randomly banning people. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

If Brenda and Gina feel that they must throw away the entire idog experience because of one person, it's their loss as far as I'm concerned, and I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it. Nobody forced them to respond to Joels posts. It takes two to tango, ever if Joel asks them to dance.

Some of us really need to step back, revaluate, and grow the hell up.

We really, really need an eye rolling emoticon.

 
[8|] <--- I think this is an eye-rolling emoticon. At least, that's what I've been using it for.  

UH OH!!![8|]  I've been using it as my old fart emoticon.
