It doesn’t matter what the subject matter actually, but all online discussions follow the same predictable pattern (to be taken lightly)

Shamelessly stolen, but so true ! Just as an example .....

Q: How many owners does it take to give advice on crating a new puppy?

1 to buy a puppy and post regarding advice needed on crating.

45 to advise, share their experiences and how their crating went well or badly.

7 to caution about the dangers of crating.

17 who have perfect dogs that were never crated, slept through, toilet trained themselves and brought their owner a cup of tea every morning

6 to argue over whether the door should be left open or closed (maybe put a blanket over it and play music?)

Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid and just let the puppy run loose in the house and sleep on the bed

22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being dicks.

2 industry professionals to inform the group that if you have to crate a puppy when you go to work you should not have bought one

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and day crating is perfectly OK.

49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)

19 to post that you shouldn’t buy a puppy unless you know how to look after it.

11 to defend the posting to this page saying we were all new puppy owners once and therefore the posts are relevant here.
