This comment basically drips with a fundamental inability to see this situation from the other person's perspective. Even to see the most basic thing, which is that other people have no oracular powers with which to discern whether you or your dog are well-behaved.

> This comment basically drips with a fundamental inability to see this situation from the other person's perspective Well... I mean yeah, that's why I asked for more information in order to understand the other persons perspective, what do you think this discussion is about? In case you missed it, here is the part I explicitly call out that I don't understand their perspective but I would like to, so please educate me: > How is inconsiderate if the dogs themselves are behaving? Maybe there is something I'm missing, and I'd like to understand your point of view. I could understand you think it's inconsiderate if people don't have control on their dogs and they annoy others while the owners do nothing, then I agree with you. But just because of being off-leash? Not sure I understand that line of reasoning. If you have something to contribute that can further my understanding, I'd be most appreciative. > other people have no oracular powers with which to discern whether you or your dog are well-behaved. Yeah, this is true but applies in so many things in life. New friend introduced by my other friend? Not sure they are well-behaved or not, but I'll default to that they won't murder me, but if they give signs that they might want to kill me, I'd stay away or contact authorities. I think in general society is adjusting well to the possibility of judging things as they come along, instead of painting broad strokes like "people with dogs off-leash are extremely inconsiderate", at least where I live, not sure how things look where you live.
