Okay, perhaps that was a bit of a confusing question. I was attempting to ask the question without going into the details of the encounter but maybe those details are important. I'll paired it down a bit but keep the important details. On another breed thread poster #1 shared some photos and stated her cockerel was biting her. She stated how she thought it was funny and he must love her. I warned that this is not behavior you want to encourage. Poster #1 then asked how you correct it. I replied that she should search BYC and get advise from the more experienced. I specially said I only had experience with an aggressive pullet, shared how I dealt with her, and stated I had no idea if the same steps should be taken with a cockerel. I also posted some advice I had read others post but made it clear the same processes didn't work for others. I also told her that some aggressive roosters can't be rehabilitated. I did use the term roo when referring to mine. Poster #2 came along and posted a mini rant about how she hates the word roo and thinks anyone that uses it has no real grasp of the subject. I replied that she shouldn't make assumptions and if I posted something incorrect then to please correct me. The reply to that was something like do what you want, serious breeders don't "take the infantile seriously."
So I assume that I didn't actually give any wrong information since poster #2 didn't point anything out. I know I don't have the experience (something I made very clear) but I do believe I can grasp the concept of aggressive roosters and some of the signs. I suppose I was just taken aback that this person came along and just dismissed me completely because of the use of the word roo when nothing else I posted indicated I had no understanding. And then instead of having a civil and adult conversation they result to name calling. I feel sorry for this person. Afterward I was curious if the use of the word roo really was that annoying to the more experienced.
