Don't offer sympathy........

people do engineer. I asked for opinions on what to do with this very frustrating situation with my cat. Miss bill answered by giving the opinion that I'm an asshole (which is shared by some others I'm sure and maybe I am) , questioned my parenting skills and insinuated that I'm a sadistic animal killer.

Because you're a person who's opinion I value I anxiously await your tutelage on how that was germane to the issue.

Bill just likes to hear himself talk (he certainly doesn't listen to others) and he loves to have the last word, even if it's pointless. Have you noticed he has an incredible ability to end threads? A large percentage of threads are punctuated with a final Bill response.

I guess I should allow you to have the last word here to disprove your statement but what the hell why should I?

You do not post here to get your viewpoints on issues out into public and you do not enjoy so doing?

The problem you seem to have Ms Witch is that anyone who disagree with your right and completely without question correct veiwpoints on life must be evil and or stupid.

Poor little witch.............................

END OF THREAD BY ORDER OF BillRM

Probably a waste of time, but let's examine this statement. BillRM claims he offered sympathy on another thread and got attacked for it. He is evidently referring to his posts on this thread.

Here are his initial posts in that thread in order .... let's look for his expressions of "sympathy" ...


Not seeing it there ... he directs the poster to take the animal to the vet, suggests the owner give the animal more love, and offers her good luck .... hmm, maybe he offers sympathy in his next post ...


No, he's just replying to Green Witch ... no sympathy yet ... let's keep looking ...


So, after BPB offers his two cents to the poster -- which have nothing to do with BillRM -- BillRM comes back with that snotty little reply.

Okay, let's recap: instead of offering sympathy, BillRM gave a snarky response to BPB, then complains when people start pointing out he's an asshole, and starts this thread.

ah ha ha ha, I'm welling up again.
Does your version of A2K come without spell check or are you too lazy to reread your posts?

Guys did you not see Ms Witch claim that I end threads and my order that this thread is at an end so she can be proven to be correct?

Now once more this thread is at an end as to do otherewsie is to disprove her claim and we all know what can happen if you cause a witch to be unhappy.

Now once more as the known thread ended on this system I order this thread to be at an END.

You know that some percentage of all reponders to a thread are going to be asses and if you post something about an animal you are going to get the full spectrum from "good for you, cats are evil" to "sadistic animal killer." It's kind of like scoring olympic diving. You throw out the high and the low and average the rest. (Or is that gymnastics? Figure skating?) If Bill wasn't playing the radical ass role, we would have to get someone else to do it, but you had to kow that someone was going to post that comment. The post that Bill is indignant about is where you said "I had to take a cat to the shelter" and he replied "How sad for you." I understand given the other thread why you would take that for sarcasm, and given his general history I can see everyone taking it that way, but it could have been just an honest expression of sympathy from one cat lover to another. Or I could be naive. But that thread went straight to hell when the flame throwers came out and Bill was engaged in a civil discussion up to that point.

Oh well.

Yeah, threads never go to hell, I know.

Monday is my day off to engage in strictly discretionary behavior so here's my plan.

I will hold Mueschi gently in my lap, stroking her fur and speaking soft and loving words into her ears until she is completely relaxed and I will then slit her throat, taking sadistic delight in the warm arterial spray that covers me. I will behead and skin her using her skull as a chalice to hold the remainder of her blood. I will disembowel her and use her organs in the sacrifice to the Dark Lord while then fileting her....because squinney is making Brunswick Stew today. Her fur will make a lovely tea cozy and her bones will be placed in a black container marked with all the necessary runes and sent down the Neuse River under the moon at exactly midnight. I will then drink the remainder of the blood from the skull chalice and offer my prayers to the God of the Underworld that Bill's balls will finally drop and it will improve his prissy attitude.

Gosh I hope this post doesn't negatively impact our relationship.

My cats are well fed, comfortable and spend a great deal of time curled up on my bed making biscuits for the record. I suspect they will both curl up in the crooks of our legs and watch House with us later.

but it could have been just an honest expression of sympathy from one cat lover to another. Or I could be naive. But that thread went straight to hell when the flame throwers came out and Bill was engaged in a civil discussion up to that point.

Frankly I did not remember the past issues with this gentleman and was just expressing honest sympthy of needing to take a cat to a shelter.

Ok after the past thread was pointed out to me I can see why he blow up but not why the ladies join in at once.

Somehow I question that both of them had better memories then I do over a long dead thread.

Bill placed out the "Flame Throwers Welcome Here" mat with his I'm on the moral high ground post. That's his M.O.

we remembered something you didn't and you question that we have longer memories that you. Okay.

At this point I'm just having fun ******* with you.

You're memory is indeed short .... let me help you again.

Crudely put, Tico, but 100% correct.

I did not misunderstand that Bill was sincere in his expression of sympathy, it was his history that prompted my comments.

My morals are indeed far better then the average here or at least in my opinion however I had found that every other posters here seem to share that feeling.

Was I talking to you or refering to you?

From the picture you are surely no lady and from your postings you are surely no gentleman.

How about that for geting into the true spirit of this group guys?

Finally bill posts something I am in 100% agreement with.

THANK so you was just being nasty for the joy of being nasty to someone that you do not like.

Still do not understand your need on that post, as there are many more posts by me all over this system that you could had exercise nastiness with some logic other then a posting of sympathy.

Can not wait until the holidays so I can post a happy holiday message and see the flames that will then result.

Perhaps not, but he is telling you important information. Your post of sympathy was regarded as sarcasm because people consider you an ass. At this point, I recommend (although I know you didn't ask) that you post something like "Sorry, I was just offering my condolences over Bear's loss and didn't mean anything else by it" and then let it drop! Just about everyone here is considered an ass by someone, so don't let it rile you. If you want to maintain a more civil tone, now's the time to start.
