I was a little hard on her, to read back over it.

But honestly, it’s deju vu all over again when people come in with an opinion that has been handed to them pre-formed, they haven’t thought it through, and their idea of “defending it” is to stamp their little feet and say, “because it’s MY OPINION.’

We have a bit of a higher standard here. And sometimes I hold people to it. So it goes.

As for the cap lock key … well … I haven’t used it in 20 years online, unlikely to start now.

This was a very written and informative article about something which obviously gets a lot of people’s panties in a knot. It was a good read at least until I got to the comments. Nice job on shouting down the sole dissenting voice. Great personal jabs too. Next time y’all don’t forget to hit the Caps Lock for extra effect.

Hey Gina - I see in your picture you’ve got an ergo keyboard. Which one do you have, and how do you like it? (I’m keyboard shopping, I have a Mac, and I don’t want a black keyboard!)

Yeah, I kinda do know it’s a pet blog. And my espresso machine’s return to service is important to the functioning of the blog in that caffeine is what keeps me smiling around people who appear to be unable to click “about” in the site navigation.

This is a beautiful post. Very well said. I would only add that the reason the costs are affordable at Dr. Dodd’s HemoPet practice? It’s a not profit organization. How many veterinarians can say the same?

Knee-jerk reactions are always counter-productive. Stereotyping/tribalization is rampant these days. One can’t help but wonder if it’s all due to the success of the Homogenization Project.

People really need to stop being partisan and look at what’s sitting right in front of them - unfilterd by cultmasters, media gurus or the guy down the street who knew somebody who knew somebody who…

Kim, your laziness is truly remarkable, even in the context of all the Kool-Aid spewing sound bite robots we get in here.

You cannot even be bothered to realize that in fact, I cannot go away, since this is MY BLOG. I have to read comments by people who can’t be bothered to do the slightest bit of research to figure even that out.

Despite repeated entreaties, you have yet to offer anything beyond your self-admitted uninformed opinion that you have had handed to you by others. Despite repeated requests, you haven’t added anything to the discussion except those me-too opinions.

You’re done here. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

(Note to self: Must get espresso machine fixed to return personal tolerance levels for idiocy to previous levels.)

I have talked with Jean Dodds on numerous occasions over the past fifteen years or better about vaccines, dogs etc.. I am truly having a very difficult time understanding why ANYONE is taking the “Jean’s an ARista” posts seriously.

SO!!! Stop this bull-shite here and now. What in doG’s Name does any of this have to do with the importance of this study?

I mean truly, I’m certain Jean really appreciates all of you who are coming to her aid, but what are we REALLY here for? Don’t you all see that these idiots who are taking you off in tangents are doing it on purpose? They WANT to take you away from the ultimate purpose.

Don’t LET them DO IT!!!!!!

Fund the RCF through your own words and your own dollars. Don’t give the naysayers (aka PETA-philes) the time of day!! IGNORE THEM!!!!!!!!!! ‘Cause ya know what? PETA-philes should NEVER get air time….never, Never, NEVER!!

jmo,
