We never leave our dogs alone. They are with each other.
Our RV is no different to us or our dogs than our stick and brick. We go to dinner dogs are at home. We go to the store dogs are at home. We go to work dogs are at home. The only thing that changes is the view and a lack of a doggy door.

I’m with you. But that defeats the purpose of the thread with all the Karens complaining about barking dogs.
If your dogs are good, they’re good. If they’re not, it doesn’t matter if you’re in a campground, at home, or one of those weirdos who walks their dog in the Home Depot!

Seriously? You are a frigging Administrator and you make a personal attack on a poster who has done nothing to you?
Hey Toedtoes - I'm sorry you took that as an attack. I wasn't thinking of you or responding to you. I was responding to this statement by Walaby:
Quote:I also get a chuckle when people say "I don't disagree".
I didn't bother to scroll back and see who he was referring to. My response to him wasn't about you or anyone in particular. It was my opinion about the phrase "I don't disagree". At the risk of making it personal, I find it to be a weak use of language. Nothing more, nothing less. "I agree" and "I disagree" are more direct and less ambiguous.
Again, I'm sorry you saw this as an attack. I honestly wasn't thinking about you at all when I wrote it.

Rather like saying "blondes are so stupid" at a party and then saying "oh but I didn't mean you" when you realize a blonde is standing next to you.
Your statement was clear. Your apology isn't really an apology but an effort to backpedal.

Not that dedmiston needs to be defended, but in his defense, I didn't quote you so unless he scrolled back to see who said it, he wouldn't know.
You said that you were conveying that you "agreed with his preamble (or whatever), but disagreed with his conclusion. How about just saying "I agree with your description of the situation, but differ in the conclusion. Saying I don't disagree just confuses your argument
And for what it's worth, I wasn't personally attacking you either, which is why I didn't quote you. I simply stated I find it amusing how people have resorted to saying "I don't disagree".. instead of simply stating "I agree".
It really is okay to say "I agree with your description but have a different opinion on why it's important to follow the rules".
To say "I don't disagree", and then state in a paragraph or two why you disagree makes no sense and weakens the written argument.
It's clear how you feel about the issue, as it is equally clear how others do.

As I said, earlier in this thread, some argue relentlessly, right or wrong. I have been around enough forums to know, that calling out a forum mod/admin is not going to end well, for a lowly member, such as myself.
Can we just get back to defining the dog unattended rule, that most know to be common sense, outside, or inside a solid walled home away from home.

I don't think I'm backpedaling and I don't suppose I'm apologizing either.
I'm not sorry for what I said (which would have been an apology). I'm sorry you took it personally and sorry you're offended. That's all I can offer.
I think you're mistaken to take it personally. Not everything is about you.

And for the record, I said "I don't disagree", because while I agreed with Lantley's preamble, I don't agree with their conclusion.
Aaaaand here’s the aforementioned Karen…
Do you not disagree? Lol

How am I NOT supposed to take it personally? I am the only one on this thread who wrote "I don't disagree". You then put down people who say "I don't disagree". Just because you didn't know I was "standing right there" doesn't make it not refer to me.
And the truth is I'm being called out for being disingenuous, yet you are being disingenuous.
Saying "I'm sorry that you were offended" is disingenuous. It's saying you're sorry for my actions not your own. And you are not sorry for my actions - you are not feeling remorse in my stead. You are unhappy/mad that I took offense at what you wrote.
So basically you have just done what you have insulted me/others for doing.
