Inquiring minds want to know.
“Gator, do you have to work at being an a-hole or does it just come naturally?”
It’s natural, but it’s situational.
I don’t come to this forum to make enemies or get into fights, but when I read a thread that interests me and I find a post that I believe is disgusting or totally uncalled for, I will occasionally do what comes naturally.
Your friend posted a comment that begged for a negative response, so he got one. Heck, on some other subject, I could find myself agreeing with him and being very supportive. However, because I don’t take any of this kind of chat personal, I will likely not even remember your names after I hit the send button for this post.
Generally, I just brush off most of the cop hater posts because they’re just not worth the effort.
This particular post had to do with the death of a police dog, so it hit a special place in my heart. I love dogs, I love all dog. I raised master protection and attack trained Dobermans for over 30 years. I trained one of my Dobermans to find lost children. Presently my best friend is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, he wants to be a Gun Dog and fetch waterfowl for me. I would kill for him and he is learning that he would do the same for me.
Well, enough of the ramble.....
For what is worth, I didn’t get or ask for you pal to get suspended, HE did. I also don’t use the abuse button because, frankly, I just don’t give a hoot.
So there you go....the mystery is solved for you. I am an a-hole and a proud one. You see, having dealt with cop haters, curbside lawyers and the rest of the bowels of society for over 26 years, as an aggressive Crime Fighter, I have earned the title.
Anyway folks, please have a nice day.
ps, Nice Elk pic’s, I have some that live near me too. They also die near me. ;>)
