This is a dog site. It's going to be a dog site. This is a dick-tatorship and I'm the dick, so if you want to talk about things other than what the given forums list, find someplace else to do it. THIS IS MY BOARD and we talk about what I say we can talk about. And I say we can talk about the topic's listed in the forums. DONE. I
Don't want any questions. Like it or leave.

I'm OK with that.

But for clarification, there is still an "Anything But" category. Can we talk about our families and whatnot? Just no politics? Or is that category going as well?

Thank you for being a dick LT!!! It's about time!

What happened to the no thread or member deleted rule? Why was the political forum made? So no one would have to read anything in that thread unless they chose to . Key rule here was don’t open it. But you did, and you continued to feed into this ugly crap. So now this site that was at one time fun , has come full circle and it will never again be the site it was meant to be. Its ironic that its turned into a site it was created not to be. Nice work.. Kudos to you Julie , I noticed you are the only one to question anything instead of clapping that Scott is gone. Scott is a dick , a big one but your all responsible for letting him get there. Bill its your site now not ours so delete what you don’t want to see or hear. I’m done . Yes I did create a new account and I’ll delete it so you don’t have to.

I'm not really sure who's post this is. Maybe BO or Scott himself, but what a pathetic try at making people feel bad for Scott. In all the years that this site has existed, how many people have been banned? To my knowledge two. D and Scott. D got booted after personal attacks to Bill himself. Scott, on the other hand became a cancer on this board and sucked the very life out of of it.

Many of us finally quit coming here because of the jerk, myself included. It didn't matter that we didn't have to 'open' his threads. The thread titles themselves were offensive and full of bigotry. You couldn't miss them! And he knew that the more he did it the more he would piss us off and he just delighted in making us miserable. Before long this place was a ghost of what it used to be, and it was his own doing. He got what he deserved IMO. Getting rid of that DICK, was the best move Bill could have made. Thank you again Bill!

Not trying to knock BO, but I don't think he knows enough to get around having his IP blocked, and I can tell you for a fact that Scott did not make that post. That means that another member must be kinda pissed off at the way things have turned. Not stirin' the pot, just a little FYI and some food for thought.

Jim, I don't think BO got the boot. I think he just left didn't he?

The no thread or member deleted rule went out the window this year when the members of this site were NOT asked to pay for it again. As for the Politics forum? That was created in good faith, IMO. And it was abused. Time and time again. So now it's gone. And good riddance.

However, I'm a little confused as to how WE are all responsible for letting Scott be a dick. Last time I checked, we were all adults here and responsible for our own behavior. We're also responsible for how we respond to others' behavior. I believe we all tried ignoring Scott. Hell, I even tried giving him a taste of his own medicine for awhile. Nothing seemed to make a difference. He drove away a lot of members with his incessant bull$hit. Why should he get away with that? What more could we have done? This board probably will never be the same again, but what's done is done. All we can do now is move on and hope some of the lost members come back.

Foster and rescue dogs are forever dogs. We are forever part of their journey home. They are forever in our hearts.

But you did, and you continued to feed into this ugly crap.

But who created the ugly crap? And if we fed into it, why couldn't you say that we were angry that it was going on and wanted it to stop. And that we were trying to express that and it made no difference. We were defending ourselves! He was a disease.

It was like someone coming into your home and telling you that you couldn't laugh anymore. That you were sub-servant and you would bend to someone else's will. It was a very abusive relationship. Yes, you could ignore it. But your very way of life was changed because of it. Just like tip-toeing around your abusive husband because if you said anything, he'd beat the crap out of you. Do you honestly think that's normal or healthy? Or that we should have PUT UP WITH IT? Are you serious?

I feel sorry for you because you believe in a person who is hurtful and mean. And you do because he's obviously convinced you he is above the good people on here and he tried to change it. Whether it was with outrage or ridcule. It was sick.

He more than deserved to go and, as they say, "the tribe has spoken".

I've been gone a few days.
What happened?
