No, you did not make "a simple request to stay on topic". This all started when I posted a picture of my Bernese enjoying our first big snowfall. You immediately called it "low effort dog-spamming" and acused me of... what did you call it, "karma-farming", or "karma-mining"?

Instead of just ignoring a post you had no interest in, you immediately made rude, nasty comments on a good-faith post that was only intended to provide a little Vermont winter levity. I'm glad that others starting sharing the joy of their dogs enjoying our amazing Vemont winters. Believe it or not, this is not about you, no matter how hard you seem determined to make it so.

Because guess what? This Reddit isn't only.followed by people who live in Vermont, but also by people who may want to visit or even move to our state. Let's give them something fun to appreciate once in a while. We get it that you don't like dogs, but a lot of people love them and they appreciate the many outdoor opportunities this state offers to have fun with their pooches.
