...and seeing all the funny replies.

Case in point, I posted to the story of the kid getting attacked by the dog, something along the lines of how sad it was the dog would be put down.

It's provided me with about an hours worth of entertainment watching the hate replies come in.

Front Page is a silly place.

FYI: one of the rules of Oppo is "Don't be a shit-stirrer"

I try not to stir shit, but painting the kitchen was getting boring... and it's just too easy to stir shit on topics like that.

...except, via this post, you're bringing your shit-stirring to Oppo.

I'm with you. Their anger gives me power!

Painting the kitchen was getting boring... Now I get to read notes from total strangers who think I should be euthanized! Such loving people. :)

Fair enough. I just don't understand how a dog attacking a small child is car related. I mean, yeah, it happened in a driveway...

Not to detract from how awful dog attacks can be, but it really doesn't belong on a car blog to begin with.

The problem comes from how easy it is to stir shit. I've stirred shit by saying the following

-FWD cars can be fast
-Top Gear US isn't bad
-Used miatas are not a valid car suggestion to non car people
-Tuning a car improperly can be just as dangerous as driving around with static stance (a.k.a. stance done wrong)

That's called "being a troll" and idiots online have been enjoying it for about 20 years now. So glad you could contribute! Good for you!

You probably should be euthanized.

If you say something horribly insensitive, people will call you out on it. Surprise.

I agree. OP went out to stir shit on the FP. However, having a differing opinion on something can be enough to get a large number of people very angry and thus "stir shit".

But it's all worth it for comments like this:

You probably should be euthanized.

Besides, I needed a research project for a first year psychology course I'm taking. I'm gonna BS something on "forum rage", relating it to group thought patterns and social norms (the project specifically requires breaking a traditional social norm, and recording the outcome). So, trolling for science!
