i've not read all of "Linda's" post, but of those that i have, i've not seen _one_ which discovered and presented a single valid bug or in any other way moved this community toward the better product it strives to produce. No, sometimes she points at valid real problems. She spoils the issue by the way she talks and how much she deviates from the "standards" or "customs", but there are some points in what she says.
Which is unfortunate.
For that I apologize -- I soften have too much on my plate to not mess things like that up. It's like the double-post -- Usually I don't, but when tired... or beat... I sometimes have.
I also tend to not back down just because people order me to. I had a beagle like me, but worse... the other 3 if you swatted them on the butt, they'd back down, but one of them -- always got more violent.. to him, he would die before backing down. I had to figure out a different way to deal with him that wouldn't hurt him Found he didn't like chamomile scented spray... (2-3 drops/pint)...it got so I would only have to reach for the bottle and he'd run off or stop... though sometimes he'd be doing something cute... and just irritating me..... and then he's just throw those puppy dog eyes at me and guilt me out. He one 90% of the arguments we had!...not because he was that strong, but when I didn't back down, and was very firm, he would get deathly depressed. Not want to play, not want to do anything...If I wanted him around, I had to let him 'win' most of the time.
I really shouldn't use Shannon as a comparison, as honestly, I'm alot more reasonable. It's when people are unreasonable in my direction -- I tend to respond in kind. But when people are reasonable... I help them work for solutions that work for both of us.
I think I also became a bit less tolerant when my last dog died about 15 months ago...still depressing. Beagles bring so much joy with them, its hard to stay upset...
