Dog Piling

Post by _sock puppet »

For internet message boards, dog piling is used to describe when several posters of similar viewpoint respond to the same post espousing a differing viewpoint.

Here, marg has suggested that stem has been dog piled on here. So? He knows there are many non-believers here. He takes a cheap shot, and numerous non-believers post their responses?

It's not like this is a coordinated effort, as the defenders do with their L-skinny list.

I have not been asked by any other non-believer to make a post or a response to any other poster. I have not asked any other non-believer to make a post or a response to any other poster.

So if I am to act in response to being chastised for participating in a "dog pile", my only alternative was to not respond to a post because others (perhaps like-minded) are already responding.

I don't think any reader/registrant here that reads a post to which he or she wants to reply should be hesitant just because others have already responded with their points of view.

So, that being said, let the dog pile on this post, this thread, and me for saying these things begin.

You're only disagreeing with Marg because she's LDS.

What about all the times you made me dog pile on stem by not saying anything to me about it? Huh? What about that? You've got no answer, do ya?

In an effort to dog pile on you, sock, I quoted this because it is exactly what I was going to say as soon as I read it, being the tribal minded guy I am and stuff.

Quit picking on marg, dammit! The dog piling has got to stop! What about the children? Won't anyone think of the children?

Not good, Some Schmoe. You let WheatThins divert you on the sexist dog piling on me, that's what's supposed to be the dog piling on Dr Cam.

Awww crap. It's that hive mind screwing with my independent thought again. Son of a bitch.

No matter... here comes more dog piling: um...

(Can someone say something so I can echo it? It helps me out in my effort to dog pile. Thanks in advance).

I would join in the dog pile on Sock except that the term "dog pile" has some sexual and scatological implications that I find offensive.

I've spent many hours scooping up dog piles in my back yard.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Maybe marg had a subconscious reason for using that phrase.
