In fact most people I know find "mutts" to be the best dogs.
I guess what I am trying to say is this is a site that is supposed to be user friendly to everyone, why keep using a term that you know may hurt someone else's feelings or make them not want to come here.
Is it really that much to ask, because I don't understand why people keep pushing this button for some. |

I think the more rational option would be for people who find themselves being repeatedly offended should lighten up and chaulk it up to being 'part of' a public forum full of people with differing opinions and views rather than expecting people to change their ways and cater to them.
And for the record, the best dog I have EVER owned was a mutt named Rocky Noodle and I can't even begin to make an educated guess as to what he actually was...other than small, black and furry. |
I will say this AGIAN.. I dont mind the word MUTT.. Ive owned several. I do however mind how sometimes it is used. I have seen it used on here by several people purposley to be offensive and to stir up trouble.
