Is BYC Experiencing Cabin Fever?

... Let them be twisted up with bile and vitriol. It's all they deserve.

Hmmm... there's a lot of "hatefulness" in that statement

Try wishing them better than they deserve, it's difficult, but good for your soul!

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Speaking of quotes:
I’d hate to be a giraffe with a sore throat.

Friedrich Nietzsche knew what he was talking about way, back, when.

I know it's harsh. My kids have had an incident online with people. I, for the best part, just get annoyed or irritated so I try to avoid it but when it comes to my kids I'm a different beast!

I commented because I related to what you wrote... I've spent too much time in the past with hateful thoughts for despicable people, and then realized the only person it bothered was me... they didn't care what I thought of them, or they wouldn't have behaved so in the first place.

But I have to try hard to remind my self not to fight with those monsters when I encounter them, because of the risk of becoming one...

... or as the old folks around here used to say:
"You ever notice when you step out on clear morning, that the only thing you ever hear braying back at a jackass, is another jackass?"

Yeah, but his facebook page was kind of lame.

That is very good advice!

Great quote.

This is one I think about often - I do try to take a good look at myself before I point fingers

I have been trying to help spread the word about grain free dog foods and potential heart problems in dogs. Boy people get mad and call you all kinds of stuff. Geez if you don't believe it move on. No need to bash my character for it. I should just keep my mouth shut.

Don’t ever keep quiet. You could be helping people. Just try to tune out the trolls or confuse them with kindness, “thank you so much for calling me an ignorant a$$, you too & have a great day!”

There’s been a lot of talk about grain free cat food cutting back on hair balls. I have no clue if that’s true, probably too early to really tell, but hey it’s worth a try.

I love my welcoming committee when I get home!
