got my very first nasty anonymous poster for
this post....what fun!! first of all, i will like to thank to those who have posted constructive comments, advise...and for those who actually took the time to reply to these nasty comments, thank you!
usually i will not be bothered as i always believe in allowing others to exercise their freedom of speech, say whatever you like, this journal is afterall made available to everyone in the public anyway...if you have not noticed, these anonymous posters have blah many things, e.g. me being irresponsible, if i would give away my first child, etc etc. and in my replies, i do not address these things said, for i do not see the need to explain myself, why should i? this is my life, is it any of anyone's business in the first place? but you have the rights to say whatever you like and i do not delete your comments however nasty they are...i would usually just let them be...however...this is one occasion i will "lower" myself to your level so to "respond" to whatever craps for those who had gut to write and yet do not have one to reveal your identidy...not only for my sake but for the sake of my friends who bothered to respond to you...i owe them at least this one...
1. anonymous poster 1 said...
"Now I ask you, if you have a 3rd kid, would you give one kid away? I don't think so. If you choose to have a dog, you should be prepared to go through all the sacrifices for the dog. Your reasons for letting her go and your profess love for her.. I think you're a very confused person. If there is love, there is always time.
FUCKED UP!"
how dare you and who do you think you are and what rights do you have to judge? have you seen how we live our life at home with amy? do you even get the reasons why i am re-homing my dog? do you like to keep your dog in a crate at least 12 hours a day 5 days a week? i do not boast about how i take care of my dog, and the "sacrifices" made, does not mean there is none. just becoz i choose not to write about our schedules and what we do in our normal days in a public web site? and you just based your judgement on what you are allowed to read on the surface to condemn? do you know why in the first place i chose not to reply to your comment posted? just take a good read of what you wrote above, it does show how shallow a person you are? read deeper...
2. let me break my response in point forms so you can better understand with your small brain, if any at all...the same "fucked up" anonymous poster's reply to Lily...
"Oh yes, here comes the usual long nosed hero..."
- in your later reply to me, that you seem upset that we called you names, e.g. chicken shit? and yet you called my friend a "long nosed hero"? well...such classic case of the pot calling the kettle black...
"And may I ask, how do you know I've never walked in their shoes? You assume to much. "
- sounds to me that you are doing the same thing yourself, that you too have assumed too much about me and my dog, isn't it. at least Lily and I know each other in real life and she knows amy...
"A pet is for life. You do not dessert them when you have other companions. If one is crippled, I can understand. If one cannot make time because of other and newer commitments, I think the whole issue goes back to the fact that that person is NOT RESPONSIBLE enough to consider all factors when they take up a pet."
- yes, i admit, amy came into my life as an "impulse buy"...i did not consider all factors...but we are human and we do make mistakes...we learn from them and we move on...i learnt how much work amy came with...and we tried and got her trained, put in effort to make it work. i used to have weekly badminton session with my friends, which had stopped since the arrival of amy...we seeked professional trainers help to dog proofed our place...she chewed holes to our new place but we lived with it...and moved on...and the list goes on....but like i said i do not like to boast about these and just becoz you dun get to read about them and you do not know me, does not mean i did not do anything.
"I walk my dogs several times a day. On sunny days and on rainy days I drive them to a sheltered carpark. Yes, perhaps I'm more fortunate to be able to walk them that many times but when I am extremely busy and I have to walk them at 2.30am, I walk them at 2.30am."
- i really salute you that you walk your dog at 2.30am...amy will be sleeping and snoring away in her dreamland way before that time...but even if she is not, i would rather play with her in the house during those time than to walk her out in the dark...i do have a family to consider and i will try to stay safe. singapore may be a place of low crime, but does not mean no crime, apparently this campaign from the police does not work to convey the message to some foolish people to stay out of trouble, does it? i have a friend who worked all day and night, and one night chose to walk her dog past midnight...and was followed...if it was not for that dog who was alert and barked at the man as a warning, we will never know what might happen next....
3. ah...finally a reply directly to me from the same chicken shit pukey fucked up anonymous poster:
"But both probably want to have the last say. So here I am giving my last remarks and then you can make a thousand replies and great you win! You're right! As you always will be. Birds of the same feathers flock together."
- what bullshit...since when are we trying to be in a competition with you in replying...and winning or losing?? how CHILDISH one can be? how old are you, really? if you had not noticed, i did not reply to you in the first place, i did not want to coz i did not see the point to go down to your level to explain to you, i still dun. but my friend did...and i just like to ask her not to bother...waste of time really....AND...who's talking having last say or remaks or whatsoever? this is my journal, i will always have the last say irregardless...if you dun like what you read, perfect...the door is always open, just remember to close it POLITELY when you leave...we are all civilised people, well...at least most people who commented in my journal, even some anonymous ones are....and i dun think my readers who come to read about amy's updates appreciate the type of language you used anyway...
"I honestly think you people are just a load of crap. Just remember my first post. When you have another kid, give the 1st one away please. And face it, its all about responsibility which you do not have. Or maybe you don't have the brains to forsee the forseeable future (kids)"
- i usually keep such private to myself and my family and close friends...but for your information, no i was not planning for any children. the "big C" (if you had any form of errr....sexual education that is, i hope you understand what this C stands for haha) failed on me...so i have to live with the consequences...but again, go back and read about the reasons why i am re-homing amy....if kids is the main reason, i would have done it years ago before my first child was even born....again, use your brain, read deeper...there are more details than what you can find on the surface...that is if you have any brain at all....
4. another "long-nosed" die hard supporter of the fucked up poster replied:
"Yes auntie! You're all winners in your own right. There are many kind of winners. A kid that falls and climb back up is a winner. Mothers with a special child are winners. What kind of winner are you? Another voice in the protest? Great you're a winner! I find it amazing no one here commented about the helpful suggestion by one of the anonymous writer about the book to read which may help Amy. Instead, you winners are too obsessed with patting each others back and being so defensive. Winners you are all! I better keep my mouth shout about what sort of winners you people are. It is also strange that the person that made the first reply have a livejournal with section where the date is set at 2008 so that she can "remind" herself of those words. If you read and re-read those paragraphs, you would think harder before you make any comments. If after reading it over and over again and you still can't get it, maybe you should shall it with all your brethren here. One even mentioned about tracking IP address. Are you that free? And may I ask, what are you going to do to that person? What CAN you do to that person? You're a winner. Perhaps you proved yourself bravest. Lay your names down for others to laugh. Another winner mentioned speaks as though outsiders are not allowed to comment on your life. Well, if you ever wish to publish a blog or live journal, know that you are inviting the world in and inviting their comments. If you think this live journal is for your group of "winners" and no one else, I ask you, take your journal private. It won't be much of a loss of reading material to the world. So winners you all are. I applaud you."
- first of all thank you for your applaud...much appreciated :)
- again, there is no competition in the first place for those to have their last says win, i dunno why our dear first poster chose to compete in the first place when no one was competiting with him/her...but you are right, we are all winners.
- no one reply on another comment about the book, does not mean it is not being taken into consideration. just becoz i dun reply? funny the way you people think...like the first poster who accused us of assuming too much of her, likewise here? why dun you ask first if i was doing something as per advise? i at least appreciate more of this anonymouse poster who posted constructive comment and advise for me to try...another option to explore...what do you and the first poster offer? what help? what advise? i might seem ok outside but do you see what might be going on behind the scene, and how emotional we are here in the household? just becoz i dun publish our life online and you dun know us....how shallow and stupid one can be?
- you're right, it is a waste of time to track IP...especially to do so for people like you and the first poster!! oh please!!! dun think too highly of yourself people...and as for taking my journal private or keeping it as public, is it any of your business in the first place? are you the owner? this is the internet, you are free to leave if you do not like what you read...you know the way to the door...if you will please...
funny thing about some dogs owners...really...especially the self-righteous ones who think so highly of themselves...so you think you are responsible dog owners, GOOD FOR YOU and WONDERFUL for your furry ones...you might have been in my shoes whatsoever but who cares, that does not give you the right to judge others and to impose your standard onto others? is this what people need to do to put others down so to place themselves higher, somehow to justify to themselves how great a person they are? be careful when you do so for you will one day be judged with the same harshness and judgement...or worst!
i appreciate comments and replies to my posts in my journal, especially the constructive ones with advise and support...but if you have nothing but nasty things to say in someone's journal and then be all coward about it as "anonymous"...then i will suggest that you pack your bag and take a hike!!
