Needless to say, Fariba and I are devastated.

Cats have souls?

Glad I found that out before I shoot my next door neighbors damn cats...

...glad you kept your cat indoors Frankie; my neighbors don't have the courtesy to do that for those living around them.

Vailpass is a multiple offender of this rule, yet his post only got edited out. Not sure why he wasn't given at least a week off.

I'm not debating the validity of that rule, however... nowhere was it explicitly stated that this was either a prayer or thoughts thread. he merely stated that his kitty was gone and that he was sad. he didn't come out and ask for either prayers or thoughts, though you'll note that even I conveyed them before making the (admittedly rude) comment.

vis-a-vis, nothing would qualify for a bit of a vacation. technicality, I know, but the rules are the rules.

I'm not debating you on this any longer.

**fan4ever** · 08-15-2011, 02:07 PM

Uh oh...I could be in trouble.

Hope my post isn't mistaken for trying to be insensitive...I'm just so frustrated with my neighbor's cats (been going on for years...started a thread about advice for handling them years back). But whatever; I'll take my lumps if that's how it plays out.

sorry to say, there's really nothing to debate about. it's rather cut and dried. have a nice day, though.

don't sweat it, this isn't a thoughts or prayers thread.

now, I may have distaste for your take on cats (I've always been a big fan of cats, MUCH moreso than dogs). but, I'll defend to the death your rights to post whatever you want about them.

Good Lawd! Even Frankie's dead cat thread turns into a smoldering pile of poo.

This doesn't pass the smell test, H5N1. I think most reasonable individuals would identify this as a thoughts thread by board standards (to borrow a legal phrase used to determine obscenity law).

to you, perhaps. however, the fact that there were several jokes within the first few posts (mixed among a few well wishes) would point to the fact that I'm not the only one who didn't strictly interpret this as a thoughts or prayers thread.

You know what would be really nice? If we didn't have to have rules to keep people from acting like douches to someone who's obviously feeling the pain of a losing a friend. That'd be really nice.

Actually I don't dislike cats; just my neighbor's cats who last week added to their list of why I hate them by jumping up on my the expensive paint job I just had done to my car and scratched the crap out of the front.

Maybe I'll just shoot my neighbors...

this is true, and it's absolutely sad that you're not posting this on http://www.oprah.com . you're not posting this on martha stewart's website. you're posting this on a football message board, dude. know your freaking audience.

This isn't a thoughts and prayers thread. Feel free to take the internet way seriously though. I was merely offering Frankie a book intended to help him deal with his grief over his expired feline.
