The opinions in The Dog House may be strong sometimes - still nothing compared to AIBU on a daily basis - but they also embody the get-involved-and-help-each-other spirit that I think is truly what MN stands for. If you're having trouble they will do everything they can to help, from finding you the contact details of a good trainer locally they believe will be able to deal with your dog's behavioural issues to making sure your pet is looked after and found a good home if you suddenly have to give them up.

Ok I think the point has been made, Can you please unban DBF?

Please?

LucyStone · 08/11/2011 00:39

I know, captain Nancy. which is what makes me even angrier about it... does that mean it's ok for me to insult ds, seeing as he's mine? practise what you preach, and all that...

Hope that the proposed naughty step is a very big one.

I'd just ban the fucking lot of you. Ingrates.

MildlyNarkyPuffin · 08/11/2011 00:37

DandyLioness, DBF and other posters actually use their rescue contacts to help people on here. Very recently - as I said at the end of the previous thread - they responded to the post of a woman whose DH wanted her 10 year old dog out of the house because it snapped at their toddler. Within 48 hours the y had collected the dog and had it in a new suitable temporary home awaiting rehoming.

Just gone back and read the lead up to Justine's comment to AnyFucker - agree with LucyStone that it sounds like a personal attack. Will Justine have to ban herself now? How would that work?

Lemon I'm quite capable of deciding for myself what to get angry about, what with being a grown up and everything. Thanks all the same. That wasn't a personal attack by the way.

I suspect I may also be a old gimmer.

ItsonlymeMrsDB · 08/11/2011 00:31

Sarah

Welcome. Smile

I will have to go and get more. Blush

I didn't leave them for weeks....but they are delish !

SacreLao · 08/11/2011 00:31

But Galaxy

I called TLES names on that thread, where is my warning / banning?

TLES called herself foolish, which was the name calling DBF was accused off, should we report TLES for personal attacks against herself?

DBF called TLES a liar, this was proved. TLES had also called DBF a liar so it was retaliation.

This is mumsnet not fucking netmums, since when do we have to play nice and not say anything that could be considered upsetting.

I'm always telling people to fuck the fuck off and have never been told off for it yet.

Lucy, the AF thing wasn't as you're taking it. No need to be insulted on her behalf.

Sarah I've got it! You can be Maverick and I'll be Goose.

We can zoom around threads doling out 'That Loving Feeling' and you can be all kerazy and I'll be the grounded one that gets to snog Meg Ryan.

It'll be great!

LucyStone · 08/11/2011 00:28

Funny that. Justine has both insulted feminism section and dog house and personally attacked AF. and personal attacks aren't allowed?

KatieMiddIeton · 08/11/2011 00:28

Custy I am interested in xmas do but I might be away really i'm more worried about being terribly boring and standing on my own in the corner all night. Especially as I have an allergy to quiche.

Can you tell me more please?

Thanks MrsDB

Not yet, I've not been to get the essential ingredients yet.

MildlyNarkyPuffin · 08/11/2011 00:28

Custardo, I've C+P'd this from the previous thread:

Out of interest how would anyone else respond when more than one experienced (dog) rescuer says it's not a good idea to take in a staffie possible pitbull cross young dog that's already been rehomed twice in less than a year and hasn't been assessed around children (when your child has SN); into a flat that's on the 2nd/3rd floor in an area where dogs are stolen for fighting? And that a rescue centre would be better placed to take in the dog and find it a suitable home? And that they would personally use their rescue contacts to help you find a dog that is a good match for your lifestyle.

And how do you think the rescuers might respond when the person does it anyway and then posts a few weeks later that they're afraid the dog will be stolen by those involved with dog fighting and they're passing the dog on to yet another person, again avoiding rescue centres that would homecheck and provide support to the new owner if they had to give the dog up.

I would have exploded. They didn't. They did get blunt.

Simpson pointed out that I'd actually missed a bit where the individual said that the dog was also showing aggression and weeing all over the floor.

LemonDifficult · 08/11/2011 00:28

'Justine, some of us see the end result of dog-owning twattery on a daily basis. This is why some of us in the DH get pretty angry. '

Well, don't. Just reign it in and consequently what you say will sound:

a) more engaging
b) more persuasive
c) more polite

In short, you will be more likely to WIN. Self-righteous spleen-venting soap-boxing on any topic is just plain irritating.
