Thats not true I dont disagree with everything if I did I wouldn't have ever got help with things.

I think what Mel said is bad advice because I never said I couldn't care for them I was talking about dogs and birds and she was basically saying if you think you want a dog re home the birds if you think its best and thats wrong you cant get a dog and get rid of your birds.Whats best is the birds with me obviously so thats not selfish.And no thats not what I did for Rio I could take care of him I just couldn't keep him because he was a danger to the others.

Conversations with Brandon DO tend to get out of hand, and from what I've seen it happens on every board that he belongs to. He tends to ignore inconvenient realities and argues with anyone who tries to warn him, and a lot of people find this attitude to be annoying. In this case the inconvenient realities include the fact that his family would have trouble affording a dog right now, and he's looking at a specific dog that the current owners say is nervous and hates baths. But he's going to do what he wants whether it makes sense or not, so you may as well tell him once and then ignore him instead of trying to talk sense into him.

Brandon, why not just wait until your father gets a job? Dogs will still be available then and the family will have a lot more financial security instead of having to struggle. Personally I would prefer a dog with a stable temperament over one that's high strung, but if you think a nervous dog is a good addition to the family then go for it.

Nobody gives me a chance to say anything instead of talking about this I have to argue back and correct you which I shouldn't have to do.Carolyn you are right and I already chose another dog, a Beagle there is one for adoption and I made a request for him and I did research about them too.Why wait until my dad gets a job? I don't want to because its not easy to get a dog here there aren't many for adoption and I want a Beagle and if im able to afford its care thats good so I can look after it.By the way a dog is a benefit to the birds too.

Thank you, for seeing the other side of this, I am most appreciative of your sense of fairness, and yes, Brandon is on many Parrot Message Boards, kicking up dust. very frustrating trying to be of help to someone who refuses to take advice, even when he is asking for it. then comes to his own conclusions, and gets sarcastic and never once have I read from him, "thank you". I know full well what he does because I see the same threads on every message board. Once again thank you for your understanding.

Yes that's true I never said thank you but I am am thankful of the help I get and actually your wrong I'm only on two other forums the parrot wizards one which I am not really active on and never had any problems and avian avenue which is great and a moderator knows there are a few members there trying to push my buttons but I don't let them

Also what you all consider rude or sarcastic would be different to the way I see it because I'm in Ireland and would speak differently.I do take advice but if someone for example told me to not feed pellets that they are bad then obviously I'm not gonna take that advice because I don't agree and if you think I disagree with a lot of stuff which is not true so what I can disagree if I want to.

Thinking that you have to argue back is where most of the problem comes from, especially when people say something sensible and you argue with them. There were never any arguments on this group before you joined, and you've been involved in every argument that's occurred in the group since you joined.

This is the second time that an "everybody else versus Brandon" argument has broken out, and this is NOT the kind of atmosphere that I want to have in this group. So I'm sorry but you need to learn how to mellow out and not be so argumentative if you want to stay here, because you're the reason that these arguments are breaking out. I know you need advice and it seems like you want to socialize with people too, so I've been reluctant to be too harsh. But the problem has been getting worse lately. You've been banned on multiple boards (either permanently or temporarily) for causing problems in other places, so it's not just the people here who have a hard time talking to you. My first responsibility is to make sure that this group feels like a comfortable friendly place for everyone, and that can't happen with all this arguing going on.

And now this thread is closed. This is the first time that I've ever had to close a thread on this group. I'm a "free speech" type of person, and when I start closing threads it means the situation has gotten pretty bad.
