mn hq, is it really wise to have topics that are deamed so agressive/scary that most members don't want to post there?

have just read a thread in the doghouse topic, and posts from a few posters saying that they never post there due to the agressive responses there.

Now, I know that hiding a topic could always be an option, but is it really in the spirit of mn to have separate topics that are deamed so unwelcoming/agressive that few posters actually want to post there?

I can of course see the need for certain sections, conception/sn/relationships, but it just seems against everything that mn stands for to let a topic exist that is frequented only by a few individuals while the majority feel that the responses there are agressive enough to warrant not feeling comfortable there.

Why can't we just go back to having a pets topic?

Thanks for clearing that up. Your sentence "I would rehome both my children and my dogs over my dead body." gave the impression that, well....you'd rehome your dogs over your dead body. That doesn't quite correlate with "then I would rehome the dog of my own free will,"

LoopyLoopsPussInBoots I'd say to you, that for the police to ask me to eat my mother's liver would be, well, illegal. So I'm not too worried about that one. But thanks for showing your concern Smile

Reviving this thread to point out to MNHQ how barking mad but also offensive the doghouse is getting once again. Really.

Don't see the cat or fish owners behaving like this do we?

HQ, reckon you need to shut the kennel, once and for all.

Oh FFS Sassy are you referring to the Lennox thread?

Nothing is kicking off and I have yet to see anything offensive being posted
