True. 
I thought what he did was cruel and completely off-base. He deserves his pitting.
My last interaction with you prior to this debacle was your stupid-assed kneejerk warnings in the avatar thread. Your status as a mod is not central or vital to my daily life (and are mod-demotions even announced, anyway?).
All cockblockery aside, none of this means I can’t shovel a little belated honorary dirt on your grave.

I did that to a cat in anatomy and physiology. Our teacher personally would monitor the place where they got the cadavers to ensure they were held up to ethical standards (and yes, there are official, recognized ethical standards for sourcing animal cadavers for biology and A&P students, which involve humane means of putting animals to sleep that would not have continued to live anyway). I’m sorry you think it’s gross but that is how doctors learn to heal people.

It’s a joke.

I love animals, which is why I have no problem dissecting them if I can trust that the cadavers were sourced ethically. Otherwise, how could you possibly operate on them?
I really think the OP is overreacting here.
Did you ever see the original version of the movie Carrie? If so, you might recall the final scene, where Amy Irving’s character is calmly walking through the cemetery while gentle music is playing in the background. She glances down on the grave of Carrie White, happy that all the unpleasantness is finally over and that Carrie is finally gone, when suddenly…
You might notice he lack of “moderator” under his name. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that all of the moderators seem to have that, for some reason…
It was a “joke” where a unidentified link was dropped in a thread about a poster rescuing a cat. No warning of the contents was given. It was meanspirited threadshitting. If that is your idea of a joke I’ll bet you are loads of fun on Friday night.
To be honest, I think I’d much prefer to spend a Friday night with someone possessing a warped sense of humor than with a histrionic “cat person.”
Me too, but I’m going with him to the monthly Cat Fanciers meeting to show off bloody dissection pictures for a chuckle.
Good lords, the **Monkey **is right. About everything. You crazy cat people need to get a grip. I didn’t personally find Floater’s link very amusing (except the photo of the dog in the microwave – ha ha), but a page with a lesson on how to cook cats in a thread about what to do with strays is clearly a joke. I suppose a threadshitting joke since it was supposed to be all about teh snugglez, but he was warned, so everyone calm the shit down. Ban him? “Action” him? The sternest words I can conjure up in response to his post are “that might be somewhat inappropriate” or “some cat lovers may not like it.” Beyond that, settle the fuck down.
I have yet to call for banning, I don’t think it was worthy of that. I just think it’s sad that we “crazy cat people” can’t have a single thread without someone shitting in it. I don’t go in “oooh look at my cute grandbaby” threads and post dissection pictures. If I see a thread with a topic I don’t like or am not interested in, I don’t click on it. I don’t go out of my way to post a link to shit in it. Is it too much to ask for the same consideration from others?
I’m actually amazed at the number of people defending threadshitting.
It’s not either/or. It’s not “he was right” or “the (crazy) cat people are right.” It’s “that was a joke that wasn’t very funny and is at most worthy of an eye-roll, and not an ATMB spectacle in which there were comparisons between it and goatse, statements that a warning is still ‘light,’ and requests for the link’s removal altogether.” Okay, how is a warning “light”? Not saying you said this, but someone there did. What else is there short of banning? Suspension? Really, a suspension over a stupid website about cooking cats? Removing the link entirely? Good gravy, people. No one is “defending threadshitting,” we’re just saying it was a (somewhat inappropriate, I guess) joke and everyone needs to adjust their underwear accordingly.
Damn it.
I’m NOT going with him. Not. Not.
I hate it when I do that.
Too late, you’re already booked.
This is going to be the best Cat Fanciers meeting ever!
“Fanciers? I thought you said fencers… I was wondering why they weren’t fighting back. I’m really sorry for the mess!”
I’m still not satisfied. I think he should be required to attend cat sensitivity training and do some volunteer work at a Hello Kitty store before he can be forgiven.
Not Hello Kitty! I didn’t appreciate the “joke” but that’s cruel and unusual punishment.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
If more thread-shitting, cat-hating, bad-joke-making bastards had to do a little hard time at the old Hello Kitty maybe they would finally learn.
The next time he wants to talk about autopsies or fish gutting maybe we should just barge into his thread and drop a turd like thiswith no description or warnings.
You should have coded that NSFW! :mad:
