LadyV Jun 20, 2005 11:03 PM

I had been looking for herp information and on of my employees suggested a site that her boy friend goes to. I saw a terrible post there about Pit bull and being a responsible pit owner, I gave my opinion and was banned, I complained and was reinstated...now I am being called, in not so many words, "an ignorant Indian uneducated from a reservation! Very disappointing that a "Herp" Society would behave this way! Ther eis still a lot htere, but KE delted his psot calling me an idiot indian from a reservation....very sad...does nayone know where I might report these people?

Thank you.

If you feel so incined, the Police.

Common Law Assault is an offence, whether online or not. Though very little statute has been established in most countries regarding the net, the trend seems to be that it is treated as no different than a verbal interaction.

Would you report this incident if it had happened in person? I think not. But, it's your call.

Being banned from a board it not the problem here, the problem is
the principle of "why" I was banned. I was trying to convince someone to
seek Veterinary care for their Pit Bull, who had it's pad torn off, with
photos shown, during "rough playing" with other dogs who had hair missing
after the "playing". Yes, I am animal lover, and this smacked of dog
fighting, I am also a responsible Pit owner and lover. I am on the
management team at Petsmart, and when I saw a thread like this, which by
the way was titled, "Vulgar Dog", it upset me. This thread also had photos
of his dog humping another dog and those on the thread seemed to be just
thrilled with it. My responses were intelligent and informative, they were
not threatening or mean and there was no cussing and no way it could of
been taken any other way. This is a board that affiliates itself with all other Herp societies by it’s very name, therefore displaying that this is the caliber of people. I know better, as I know many in the Herp circle that are caring, great people, not everyone understands this, especially someone who may be just starting out in the world of Herpetology! These people called others idiots, cussed, made fun of other races….they pretty much run the gamete of low class. The “owner” of the board just deletes anything he writes of a negative nature….sometimes entire threads that could compromise him.
Aaaaaaanyway….that was my point

So which board is this? Can you name it here?

Another board which I frequent had a poster also posting pics of his pit bull humping everything in site. Nothing was ever deleted but the poster eventually left due to the negative response. I'm just wondering if it's the same guy?
