Did you know.... one for the AAD regulars....

[FestiveSpirit]

that we are perceived as being bullies? Another HHOer told me that tonight, apparently whenever they look into AAD we are reacting in an over-aggressive way towards someone

Thought provoking perhaps....although of course I know a great many of you personally (well, OK, I have met you once ) so I know you are a lovely lot

 

[Spudlet]

That's exactly my impression of NL! Almost every time I look in there, people are being utterly vile...

 

[FestiveSpirit]

And as for Soapbox.......

 

[Vizslak]

Yer thats alright, 'orrible bunch we are in here! I think the majority of us are maybe slightly on the blunt side and we are all pretty good at saying just what we think where a dogs welfare is on the recieving end...I also know a fair few of us manage to sit on our hands quite a bit too though so we cant be all that bad!!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Oh my God, aren't we all massive cows, then?! I'd love to see the 'bullying' threads: all I see are people being helpful or making nice comments about one another's' dogs.

 

[stargirl88]

has this person ever ventured into NL!??!

 

[flying solo]

well..............
when I joined hho, aad was the first place i posted for puppy farming reasons and have found some great solid advice! 1 dog has since been relieved of her mothering duties too which is down to ppl on here pointing me in the right direction!

thank you all xx

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

*creeps in and looks round*

Surely everyone knows it's only CAYLA that is a bully

The rest of us are merely fluffy bunnies......

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Do you know I am not actually sure Stargirl I hardly ever go in there myself, it is far too scary

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Sorry to disillusion you SU, but apparently I am a bully too.....

 

[numptynoelle]

I don't think I've seen anything that could be construed as "bullying" in here - there's constructive criticism where required, but everything appears to be well intentioned and ultimately for the good of the dog(s) involved


(I say "appears" as I'm often dense to the backstory, if there is one, so if there have been any sly jibes, I've not picked up on them IYSWIM)

I may have start bullying if people keep refusing to hand over their puppies to me...

 

[andraste]

How bizarre. As a newbie I've found here and SB to be far more welcoming than NL. I still spend far more time reading than I do posting and the regulars in AAD come across as quite charming.

 

[kirstyhen]

Oh definitely Carey, you always trying tobully us into having greyhounds

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Oh definitely Carey, you always trying tobully us into having greyhounds

Damn, someone noticed

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

*gets out bully list*

Right Numpty and Carey you have both been added.....

 

[Montyforever]

Oh definitely Carey, you always trying tobully us into having greyhounds

This i must agree with!

Carey - Im only having ONE greyhound i tell you .. ONE!

 

[Vizslak]

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...we are CHARMING!

SU numpty isnt a bully, shes just a plain old dognapper. Her tactics are rather weak and un bully like IMO! If she was a proper bully all our dogs would live with her by now!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

This i must agree with!

Carey - Im only having ONE greyhound i tell you .. ONE!

Yeah, yeah, they all say that at the beginning......

Rudeness! You catch me ONCE outside your house with a slip lead and a balaclava and you've labelled me a dognapper! Well I never!!

ETS: I'm dead charming, me

 

[Montyforever]

Yeah, yeah, they all say that at the beginning......

Hmm, we do have two sofas after all ..

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Carey don't bully Andreste

Viz - Numpty only wants puppies as they are young and impressionable - she wants to teach them her own bad habits - not put up with ours......

[andraste]

Oh definitely you! I thought of you first cos I have a skinny dog too. Umm as for others. CaveCanem, Murphy's Minder, CAYLA, Spudley, slinkyunicorn, Katie_lou Houston, blackcob, Vizslak...I'm sure there are others. If I haven't mentioned anyone, please don't be offended - it's my rubbish memory to blame!!

 

[Spudlet]

Yay!

 

[flying solo]

Numpty.....

steal from me, I'm pretty close by you lol

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Yay!

Ahem..... I came first

Thanks Andraste that is a huge relief

 

[Vizslak]

Haha nice to be on a list other than numptys dog napping hit list
You are wrong SU...she wants the ginger dog and it is no longer a puppy! Come to think of it everyone wants to steal my ginger dog wherever I blooming take her...I need her fitted with a tracking device I think!

 

[numptynoelle]

Andraste: Highly. Offended. (not really)

The rest of you shower of ****: Highly. Offended. You understand me perfectly

 

[Vizslak]

Now take those tights off your head and remove yourself from my front hedge!
