They are not only lazy but self centered and when there are enough of them they make a damned mess. (Sorry Rubicon)


Rubicon is arguing fairly. He is stating facts and is not using the dog poop issue because he doesn't like dogs. Some people do use it because they just don't like dogs. That is fine. We all can't like dogs, or children or old people or whoops...better not say THAT. But we can look out for the greater good. When we don't care, then the law enforcers have to step in.


I give great credit to the Responsible Dog Owners group and I am thinking about joining it even though I do NOT have a dog to see what I can help them do to get another dog park in the southernmost regions. Of course even with that, there will be scofflaws and people who will ruin it for all of the good folks who do the right thing.
The dog park issue has been taken care of. We've had enough people down here in Gilchrist submit the form asking for a review, and it is being done. I don't have a dog, either, but submitted a form. It seems like a reasonable request and I love dogs. Its the poop, and the use of MY personal property I don't like, and the fact that if I don't agree I am a dog-hater. Simply NOT true, and rude of anyone to assume so. And, I DISAGREE on the harassment issue. Sometimes, it reads as MORE than just a disagreement. New posters get PICKED on...often. It's just not nice. We must all remember (especially me) the written word has no inflection, and can be read in a number of ways. And sometimes CAPS are just for emphasis, NOT yelling.
