So do I, I agree with them both.

If someone came after your wife how would you feel?

I'm really sorry about what happened because Joe is a really cool dog and I never would have thought that what happened would have happened." He says, "Yea? and?" I replied, "I'm just trying to be civil and meet you because I feel bad about what happened." He grumbled something I couldn't understand. I said, "Ya know... I would never have even reported you if your wife had just said two simple words...I'm sorry... she never said anything to me and I was pretty shocked. I would have apologized in the extreme and offered to pay to have your dog checked by the vet, had the tables been turned." He says... "that's between you and my wife, screw off!" I said... "Oh my god... no wonder your poor dog is a an A-hole, you're a major A-hole!!!" "I was trying to make some sort of peace, but whatever... "sheesh, it's about two dogs, dude!!!" He turned and walked away.
I don't see this as an attack on his wife. It looks more to me like an explanation of another's point of view. Relayer apologized to the guy for his own dog being attacked? And the guy replies with "screw off"? How is that harassing these people? Funny how differently people view things.

Wasn't Max the fourth dog that Joe attacked? huh....

What ARE you talking about?? I did not go after his wife, for 2nd or 3rd time!! I never mentioned his wife not apologizing until and after I was totally nice and tried to make peace. The wife statement came out AFTER he was clearly being a jerk, despite me being a gentleman and trying to extend some compassion. It seemed that he did not care or did not understand what happened, so what was I to do? Say, "well, I just report anyone if their dog seems aggressive?" It was clear that he needed to understand why I was upset. Heck... I certainly tried to be understanding of his issue.

I can't imagine that you or "them" read the part of the story where I tried to be friendly and act like a decent human with the guy.

... and, It's not like I said, "you're stupid rude wife never apologized!" I just said, I wouldn't have even reported you if she had made a simple apology. I was very polite. He was crude, rude and insolent.

I think you handled this very poorly and I agree with selzer.

You were just trying to cause problems. You've talked about Joe before and it's obvious you really don't like him or his owners and you had no business going over there to cause problems. You sounded like the A hole of the conversation to me.

Can you blame a guy for not wanting to be your friend after you reported his dog and are now cursing at him? You need to learn to talk to people, son.

You're absolutely right. I should have just ignored him and let the situation remain very awkward with he and Joe peering through the fence every day looking pathetic. Attempting to make peace and facing the situation like a man and a gentleman was a really bad idea. In the future, I will never attempt to make a bad situation better. Thank you.

All Relayer did was explain that he just wanted an apology from the wife. Why would anyone defend their wife when she's obviously that big of a moron. He didn't say anything bad about her or anything untrue. I don't defend people who are wrong just because I like them.

Their dog attacks dogs, and they keep bringing it to the dog park. Even though Relayer wasn't being a jerk, someone NEEDS to be a jerk to them and tell them to stay the **** out because nobody else is doing it.

I think it's just a matter of perception. I don't believe Max's person went over to pick a fight, I suspect everyone was just a bit prickly and it blew out of proportion. Personally, I wouldn't have gone over there to the guy but then I am a coward who avoids all types of confrontation if possible.

Besides, i'd worry the guy would sic his dog on me.

Because the husband is just as big of a moron.

These people are idiots. They brought their dog who has repeatedly attacked and bullied other dogs to a private park that they haven't paid fees for months while all of the other members are paying and let all of this happen without saying a word or an apology.

This guy and his wife get everything they deserve. Too bad for the dog, but these people are absolute idiots.
