    So, two things unrelated to the actual topic being discussed.

    I’ll pretend your choice of words isn’t low-key confrontational and dismissive like every other comment on this site

    It’s entirely possible to be correct and do it in such a way that invites confrontation and dismissal.

    If it seems like everyone apart from you is confrontational and dismissive, perhaps it’s time to consider additional perspectives on why that might be happening.

      It doesn’t escape me, but what part of what I’ve said has invited confrontation or dismissal? I’m asking honestly. It’s grating that it keeps happening and I keep telling people to stop. Hyperbole aside, it’s frequent enough that I can see a pattern of people starting petty arguments trying to win and throwing low punches instead of clarifying what is being said and why. Like, I don’t even want to argue.

      additional perspectives on why that might be happening

      Meaning what, it’s also me? lol If I’m the one telling people to stop and act like adults and that gets 180° turns in behavior, what does that say to you?

        It’s kind of baffling they are arguing exposing their cat to drugs is fine, for what? They can’t know that’s safe. Why take the risk? Might as well let them drink some wine while we are at it eh?

        They are arguing on emotion more than anything. Nothing to do about that.

          I didn’t argue any of those things. But go ahead and put words in my mouth since it appears to make you feel validated.

            So you think exposing your cat to drugs isn’t fine? You said you do just that though, so I would like if you clarified the difference. The last point of the wine was not your words, but my own. I will own that. I will ask the simple question, why do you choose to expose your cat to cannabis?
