Hate mail

  • Oh, how lovely…! Crazy person, delete button for sure!

    I occasionally recieve crazy, nasty emails related to my dogs show wins (yes, people are that pathetic!!) and they just make me laugh before hitting the delete button! Its not worth even bothering yourself about.


  • i'm so glad you can laugh about it! what else can you do? what a sad little person… i feel pity for him/her.


  • You're right this is just laughable and says more about the writer than about you.

    I hope the writer can be traced, but he/she is most probably a lurker on this forum. Some peopel get their pleasure in most peculiar ways. I do hope that they haven't got Basenjis (or any pets come to that).


  • Debra, I agree with Patty. It's got to be a lurker type because even though people on this site disagree with each other at times, there's never nastiness involved. Most of us don't know each other but we agree on one thing, we're all basenji lovers. Somebody out there needs some psych help. Don't let it get to you. Lenora (also down south)


  • I would agree that it is a lurker…. as everyone knows on this Forum, I am not shy about my opinion and have no problems posting it public...


  • I am so sorry this "person" attacked you in this way. We all can, and often do disagree, but how can we learn, if not given a different point of view.
    The person who posted to you is very disturbed. I am sorry you had to take that into your computer.


  • Thank you all. I hope it's a lurker, but puppymillers also not so happy with me so who knows.


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    Thank you all. I hope it's a lurker, but puppymillers also not so happy with me so who knows.

    How would a lurker get your email address? One has to go through the admin to email someone.


  • Some how I doubt this came from that email address. This Elsa person writes children books, and sadly, the person who wrote that email lacks any understanding of the english language and proper punctuation.
    This reeks of an immature hack job… However it might also be a case of a damn good editor lurking in the background of her book writing career...

    Wow, that is scary. What a loon. Delete and move on. If it keeps up I would contact police and their cyber division..just so you have a record of contacting them, should it escalate, heaven forbid.


  • Actually, getting my email is pretty easy. :) Since most my ownline, including photobucket and youtube use "DebraDownSth" it's easy for anyone.

    Person sent 7 more today lol. Delete. Though I did forward the 2 most vile ones to AOL to ask why account not shut down.


  • someone has way too much time on their hands :S i really hope that isnt an adult sending you those emails, yeesh!


  • Here is something just as bad. This morning I got an email from someone who is petitioning the Canadian government regarding old age security. I have no idea who this person is, so I sent a reply back (oh oh, hope that was not a bad pc thing to do). But someone sending me something about old age security is downright depressing!


  • ROFLMAO, Fran. I never respond to stuff like that for fear I will get on a mailing list sell for spam.


  • LOL it's still at it, this time attacking Arwen. Really sad pathetic life.


  • Oh, my this person is in need to a major hobby.
    Sorry that anyone has to recieve this type of postings.


  • I just report them and go on, unopened.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.

    @Shaye's: My granddaughter has a one year old son who has just been walking recently - when he is in our home, both my B's back away from him - I do believe it's because of the eye level contact. When Evan is on the floor, neither dog minds sniffing him and being around him, but when he is on his feet, they become wary. At that point, everyone is watching very closely - any sign of the wrong kind of contact, and they would be put into a separate room. So far, so good - but children do sometimes have a different kind of energy that makes dogs nervous, so to be safe if your dog shows aggression, hire a behaviorist, and separate them until they learn. The most likely reason is the way in which they move. It is kind of hurkey-jerky, and unpredictable…dogs don't like that much. And they naturally stare at things that are interesting. Little kids also don't have much sense about when it is okay to reach out towards a dog, and when it isn't. Most adults have grown to be able to read a dog even a little, and if the dog looks nervous, they don't reach out...but kids, nope..they reach out no matter what :) Again, dogs can't predict what they will do, and their typical warnings don't stop a child. I have always said, the trouble with dogs and kids doesn't happen when you bring the baby home...it is when the baby starts walking!
