This probably doesn't belong here and this is total nonsense, but i'm gonna post it anyway *******it!

My plans were to join some agility club this year (as my dog turns 1 in the summer) and there is two in this city, ATT and TSAU. Few people I know are members of TSAU and they say it's better (cuz they have a bigger, newer hall for winter training)... ATT seems like a good club, but it's veeeeeeeery expensive

Aaaaaanyhow... I was watching their web site again, trying to find the information of how to join. It was very complicated compared to the clubs I'm already a member of. Paying all these different amounts of money and e-mailing people... I am used to just filling an application and getting a bill and i have that problem with anything new... It was complicated though too!

Well anyway ...I very nicely asked about it in their little forum thing. Little constructive feedback i also asked about their obedience training, cuz really those web pages sucked and there was practically no information about anything. But really i was nice, i always am. Eh.. Well, I got such a mean response!!! Made me feel like the whole agility "cult" was just a big click and we are not welcome there. Those *****es... Well i got mad and raged about it at that forum I really don't feel like joining at all... Which sucks cuz i think it could be fun.

Why does some people have to be like that and just ruin everything?

err... if this pissed u off like "stop being such a baby" ..i am sorry... please don't say it though i know u guys probs think about it anyway..

Thats one of the best things about this site. While there might be cliques of people they arnt like online predators like at some places. I read several forums about all different kinds of things and most of them have them. They have to get their lil petty jabs in and make themselves feel better or something. God forbid you actually defend yourself then too. The blood in the water attracts all the sharks and it is feeding time. Anger rage and just generally pissed off! All stuff i can relate to The hard part for me is when im treated exspecially rudely and make a "best defense is a good offense" post is to not constantly stay there and rebut every single post attacking me. Ive seen them go up to 20-50 pages of posts. I try to stay away for that reason. I dont wanna waste my energy thinking up the proper name to call some of these people when i can just goof off and probably be more happier, ignorantly blissful of their lil jabs.

clique not click, thank you i wondered about that for a while there but i couldn't come up with the right way to spell it... lol like people here cared about my spelling problems

Neriz, I sympathize totally. I wanted to join an obedience group here in my town and they were so restrictve that I finally gave up when I decided they were probably going to test my urine and do a background check...........ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

One or two little sentences to folks like that...and I LOVE To use it.....goes something like this ---->

"I feel sorry for you, it must be really hard each day to have to get up and face the world with such a negative and ignorant attitude such as yours. Hope you have an awesome day!"

By the time they are done reading that, they have no idea what just hit them.....then you are gone and feeling oh so smug LOL I just love pissing those kind of people off I know...I'm really really really bad

"I feel sorry for you, it must be really hard each day to have to get up and face the world with such a negative and ignorant attitude such as yours. Hope you have an awesome day!"

I love the above quote....thank you!

good one......... I get so totally frustrated with groups like that as I feel they don't want new members. They just live to make the rest of us miserable and frustrated as hell. So, I have just trained Fayeroe without their help!

What a bunch of idiots to be of such closed flanks!! Fooey on them.

Look into books or video or even phone consultations with trainers?

You'll find way to overcome these drips in your way!

by the way I love the subject line as it rings true for me daily which is not a buddhist way of going about things.....so I just accept it and breathe

i would have scraped her eyes out with a fork if she had treated me like that in real life

for now i wont join them... maybe next year. I tried to ask the people I know who are already members about the joining thing but even they don't understand how it's done

I don't understand why they act like they didn't want new members, after all it's the membership fees that keep the club going...

Hey Daisy!

You are welcome to use that anytime it fits Glad you like it!

Laura, I know this feeling well. Not with dogs but with cars. There is a Trans Am and Camaro website with forums and there's a forum for different regions. The Dallas region gets together once a week so when I moved back to Dallas, I thought cool... I got some people to hang out with. Well, I was wrong. The only reason I was even remotely accepted was because I had modified the hell out of my car and was faster than most. And to get to that point took forever. I finally said screw it... I don't need friends like that. I'll hang out with the 2 or 3 out of the 40 or so that actually like me away from the get togethers.
