@rh10264706 what kind of dog is that in your profile pic? A maltese...a shih tzu, or maybe a bichon frise? Did you know that all three of those breeds score lower in temperament testing than pit bulls? Here's a link-poo for you https://atts.org/breed-statistics/statistics-page1/
Did you know pitties actually edged out the Golden Retirever in pass ratings in temperament testing last year? please educate yourself before you add to the media craze that all pit bulls are bad. Bad owners are the issue, not the breed.

**steps down from soap box**
I leave you with these
This is what came up when I googled "friendly pitbull gif":
My UO: It was saddening to see the two boards I participate on fighting this week, and I feel like A13 started it. I couldn't blame S13 for feeling the need to defend themselves when someone from another board links to one of their posts and starts judging them for their parenting decisions.
I have been on S13 since the very beginning but A13 welcomed me with open arms when I intro'd after Wheezy was born. Speaking as a member, not a moderator, I couldn't get involved in that battle. That and I rarely get involved in internet drama.

What are you talking about?
A13 are perfect angels We would never judge others.
My uo is this. I hate eggs. I think they are gross. Im really trying to like them because ds loves them but eggs just gross me out
Get out of town. Eggs are amazing! My go-to meal. They are just so versatile.
I think its a texture thing. I love deviled.eggs but the texture of fried or scrambled eggs sceeve me out. But i.can choke.them down with enough salsa on them

What I saw happen was that a poster from S13 (that also introed here) posted a story thread here. She mentioned sleep training, which had nothing to do with the post. Some people asked why it was relevant and another pointed her towards S13's ST check in.
The following day I then linked to their post was because they were mentioning us. Had they not mentioned us the following day, I don't think any of us would have ever dropped in on that thread. To each their own.
But seriously... @starscream.. we loveeee youu. Sorry you feel like you had to defend or be stuck between two boards.
My best friend has a pit bull and a Yorkie. I am way more frightened of her crazy ass, barking maniac of a Yorkie than her pit bull who just thinks she's a lapdog and wants to be cuddled and pet all of the time.
I didn't say hate ever, and I don't want anything bad to happen to any animals. But I'm not going to back down from my opinion that I don't like them. I was prepared for the flaming and that's why it's an UO.
@mwalker710 I always suck at doing womanly things. I haven't painted my toenails in like 6 months. If I don't get them done for me they do not get done.
@Mwalker710 its interesting that you bring up not conforming to societal expectations of a woman. When i cut my hair i got a lot of negativity about it.
I got asked why i would choose to cut off my most femininity(sp?) Which i think is dumb and i think you ladies would agree with me. Im no less feminine with short hair then i was with long hair.

That is sad. Would those same people think a woman who has had a mastectomy is any less feminine?
There are many ways to be feminine and most of them do not have to do with appearance.
"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
@Mwalker710 i love my short hair. No its not everyones cup of tea. Bit boo fuckin hoo my hair is in great shape its easy to care for and style. And at least im confident enough in my feminity to rock short hair and not give a fuck.
@Cosmic+love unfortunatly i do think they would treat women who had to have a double mastectomy that way. Or brush it off like well why dont they just get implants then.
I cared for an elderly woman who had to have a mastectomy. She was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humor and she was no less feminine because she only had one breast
On the whole dog breed topic, I would rather deal with a pit bull in clinic than anything shorter than me knee. Rule of thumb as a vet tech: if you can pick it up with one hand, always keep an eye on the end with teeth.

There is a huge difference between unpopular and just plain ignorant. You are the latter, not the former.
I don't know how not liking something is ignorant. If you said you don't like malteses, which is the type of dog I have, I wouldn't say you are ignorant. It's just your opinion. And I don't take it personally when people say they don't like small dogs. A lot of people don't. Fine by me.
I really dislike wearing flip flops! Sure I'll wear them or cute sandals if my outfit doesn't look good with anything else but I'd much rather wear flats or keds. I like to have my feet covered!
After the ST check in was linked, people started posting how some of the responses made them stabby/anxious which to me signifies judging. That's why I think S13 felt the need to defend themselves.
And I love everyone on this board too, y'all are also my people
I was one of the people who got stabby reading it. It wasn't the sleep training, it was reading about CIO and someone letting their baby cry for a half hour while pretending to be asleep and then have to leave the room because their baby was staring at them while crying that made me stabby. I totally judge that person. ::::shrugs::::

You are ignorant because you are making a blanketed and stereotypical statement about a specific breed of dog.
I think you might be overreacting . I think she really just dislikes the breed. I don't like Rottweilers, doesn't make me ignorant it just makes me an individual. Had she said I don't like put bulls because x,y and z I might feel differently but I think the flame here is a bit unjust.

I'm late to the party, but I totally agree. If she said that she disliked cats, no one would call her ignorant. It's just because she doesn't like a breed that people feel strongly about. I don't care for them either. I don't think that they're a bad breed. I just am not a fan of large dogs. It has nothing to do with ignorance. It's just a preference. If you want a big dog, I'm not judging you for it. Why judge me or anyone else for not wanting one?
Late to the party, as always. People who breed discriminate can bite my shiny metal ass. I'm on my second rescue GSD. First was purebred, second is a lab mix. My first, Princess, was once attacked unprovoked by a Golden Retriever and a black lab who were off leash at a public park, not a dog park. Any dog can be aggressive.
My actual UO, inspired by CPW: I don't like Friends or HIMYM.
Re: UO
You beat me to the pitbull gifs. After searching, who knew there were so many gifs of that guy?!
If I hear him say "dale" or sing that freakin' Timber song again, I may have to hit someone.
