No negative vibes or offence intended...but why not start a new thread about your pets as opposed to you guys "doog pooping" on this one? Just curious as to why Model Manics threads are open season on hi-jacking. Or anyone else's for that matter. |

Hey 9 and Dwight;
Although I am not entirely responsible for originally diverting the thread in this direction, I am willing to admit that I've had a lot of fun with it. And I have to admit as well that after a few "doog posts"--which were originally done for reference's sake--I seriously thought about posting a "Show us yer doog" thread--until after a few additional, harmless posts I realized how unnecessarily redundant that would be.
In all sincerity, I have been considering the relevance of the pictures of doogs and their "eyes" as having constituted a body of collective reference, the better as to establish that not only ONE picture did constitute or present an "average" and correct reference for which to illustrate MY original contention that the doog's eyes in MM's dio lacked both life and/or realism. I realize this has NOT of course, been the tenor of how these photos were presented in context, but after the original commentary about the dio was/has been posted, I do not feel that we are unduly "disrespecting" MM or AI.
I think it's safe to say that everyone here knows the tone of what has been the less-than-cordial remarks and divergent tangents that have previously appeared in MM's posts, and I sincerely do NOT feel as if we have even come close to THAT! But you are entitled to your opinions.
I have to state that if this thread immediately went off-topic, or if no relevant comments had been posted, perhaps I would agree with you. But there are PLENTY of times when topics stray off-topic, and no one calls them out as "dispespectful"--check some other posts and I think you'll see that truth. This thread's focus on pets and "doogs" just happened to have struck a chord with some of the members here. If MM chimes in and says that he feels insulted or that the posts were somehow disrespectful, I PROMISE that I will be the FIRST to apologize!
I think that perhaps you two may be a little more sensitive to MM because of the admitted impoliteness in some of his previous threads? But please, guys; lighten up! While I will not speak for others, it is NOT MY intention to insult MM or AI by walking this divergent thread which I still contend does indeed have relevance--in form, if not in method of presentation!
