Some of you guys don't seem to understand the idea of speaking figuratively. When someone tells you of a loss, the proper response is not to rate their loss and give your opinion on how bad of a loss it actually is compared to other potential losses.
The guy posted here because he is upset about his dog and half the responses are belittling the guy for being upset about it.
Take the guy I get along with the worst on this forum and have him make the same thread and I'd offer my condolences on his loss because its the right thing to do. What does it say about a person who does otherwise?
