I suppose I am the opposite. I love the banter and a bit of conflict. Different opinions, philosophies and positions are what make conversations interesting. Personally, if they had a mirrored forum to this one where there was NO editing or moderating(save profanity and personal information), I would pay to have it displayed instead of this sanitized version. To each his own.

Yes, I've seen your wit concerning tragedies:

Sneaker waves grab dogs. Owner's jump in to save their dogs, and often drown. Sometimes multiple family members drown. Usually the dog ends up back on shore, non the worse for the experience, but now ownerless.


westernrvparkowner wrote the following about a family dieing trying to save their dog:

Park employee warns dog owner of danger, dog owner takes offense and an argument ensues. Eventually, the dog's owner pulls a gun and shoots the employee in the arm and takes him hostage. Swat team engages in hostage negotiations. Negotiations fail Swat team employs tear gas and Flash Bang grenades. Five sites away an elderly widow is startled by the noise and knocks over her goldfish bowl. Her cat immediately eats the goldfish. The widow has a heart attack and drops dead. Five days later the police do a welfare check on the widow and the cat escapes. The cat, now feral, must survive eating the local songbirds. As the songbird population declines, the rats and snakes that normally feed on the songbirds and their eggs die of starvation. Without the snakes and rats to eat, the few remaining wild California Condors die. Enforcing leash laws causes species extinction.
And yes, this makes just as much sense as saying a swimming dog causes entire families to drown.

What was that all about?

The context of your post was it was posted in a thread about dogs being off leash against park rules. To imply that dogs being off leash leads to families being swept to their death by rogue waves is ridiculous. I just made up an equally ridiculous scenario. I often forget not everyone gets or appreciates sarcasm.
