Reply to comment by [deleted] in Ok, I’ll jump on the dog train. Here’s Birdie who found a nice croissant buried in a snow bank. What a nose. by slow-poke-rodriguez

I was impartial to the dog spam until I saw you crying. Now I am pro dog pictures.

Fuck off piss baby, you aren’t my supervisor.

I've blocked u/Impressive-Height-22 and have reported them to the mods. I suggest that other users of this sub do the same instead of engaging them any further.

u/Impressive-Height-22 is displaying signs of borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder. They really should seek a therapist. In fact, they should probably check themselves into the ER, because I get the sense that they are on the verge of a mental breakdown. They will probably say I am bullying them because I've said this, but I am being absolutely earnest about it. They are obviously under an unhealthy amount of psychological duress, and Reddit is terrible for the mental health of some individuals (let's face it: it isn't really any good for anyone), particularly those with BPAD and related psychological disorders.

It could be, but if someone spends every waking moment during their Christmas vacation doing that, they still need help.

I understand the sentiment, I just don't agree with diagnosing somebody through their internet behaviour. We have no idea how much of this is genuine.

Fair point, but if someone was threatening suicide, I'd tell them they should call a hotline, etc. regardless of whether I think they are being genuine.

If they actually are struggling with mental illness, they might need someone else to point out the absurdity of their behavior, because they probably won't recognize it on their own.

Is this your last stand? You haven't been posting on new dog pics... I need to know for an article I am writing. This is captivating stuff. /s

I don't have a dog in this fight, but in some instances you've resorted to name calling and bullying, yourself. I'm sure you've heard the old adage of two wrongs, so I will spare you. I am not trying to deter you, like I said, this is great stuff. I just have a hard time taking your plight seriously while you answer what you say is aggression, with aggression. What say you?

I consider myself an impartial observer and while I think a few people here and there have pushed it to the point in which you would have an argument for them maybe harassing you, you have a penchant for getting licks in too. It just doesn't help your case, is all I am trying to convey.

I have some confusion... If the simple act of posting a picture of a dog is passive aggressive enough for you to consider it bullying, why aren't you commenting on the cat/chicken/rabbit pictures that are being posted ostensibly for the same purpose. Trying to annoy you... shouldn't they also bother you? Why is it only dogs? Were you attached or maimed in someway by a dog in Vermont?

Again, I am asking for my own edification. But also, maybe you don't have to wage war on an entire sub and we can deescalate a little by trying to understand your actual problem... dogs. Regardless, I have enjoyed the discourse and reiterate I am only trying to understand.

PS. And furthermore, it is incredibly disingenuous for you to proclaim 'I am just calling out bullies' when in some instances, you've dished harder than you had ever taken it previously... Attacking many people for simply engaging in the meme.

What is your favourite thing about Vermont? This entire time you have seemed to be upset that these dog pictures detract from the conversation meant to be taking place, but in other comments say the sub is already dead. What SHOULD people be talking about?

Can I play devils advocate and describe the scenario from their perspective? Being relatively new to the sub (I say that as somebody with NO involvement - I drove through Vermont twice - beautiful state!), other users didn't feel you should be dictating the rules to others. In fairness, you would find the same reaction in almost any sub if you went in and tried to enforce the rules outside of conventional means (mods).

You have seemingly started this crusade yourself as if you didn't post about it, the pictures would have stopped already. It is almost as if the real story is hidden in the middle... do you secretly mod for r/DogsOfVermont and is this an attempt at a coup of r/vermont through manipulation utilizing the Streisand effect? DO YOU LOVE DOGS? Jk.... I got sidetracked there.

This whole thing hinges on you... do you really intend to keep up the charade? Let's not get it twisted... it is as much of a charade as the dog pictures are. Certainly you must see the vicious cycle in what you have created here... on-purpose or otherwise, on its face, thats what it appears to be.

But your obsessed with hating dogs on other subs too. It’s just weird

If you are so open with your opinion, you shouldn’t be surprised to be met with such.

Why are you waiting for mods? Do you start shit and run to the adults often or just online?

I have just as much time to call you a hypocrite.

It’s online defending. You’re bullying by provoking people online minding their own business. Reddit is far to populated to make a reasonable claim of such. Plenty of active subs that suite your fancy, that comments of clear disdain for the posting topic are clear indication of provocation. Especially in such an otherwise dead subreddit that is r/Vermont.

Revise yourself before you act offended for the pot which you stir.
