Careful readers of the so-called "Committee for Responsible Dog Ownership" which is actually not a committee, nor does the founder and single "member"--Orrin--actually have a dog, may have noticed by now that Orrin tends to get a lot of things wrong. And not just partially wrong, but dead wrong.
Part of Orrin's chronic lack of knowledge about what he professes to know all about is due to the fact that he takes wild leaps of assumption and extrapolation from bits and pieces of photos, news items, and websites that he uses as secondary and sometimes even tertiary sources.
It's quite shocking how someone of his education level consistently gets his facts, assumptions, and conclusions flat wrong. And then when you add his hard core racism, you have the makings of a real piece of work.
Today's case in point:
Our Dear Orrin, in a recent screed, believes through his careful observation and genius extrapolation of certain "facts" that "as far as he knows" that the DOPR does not consult Community Boards when making decisions about designated off-leash areas and enclosed dog runs. Oops, Orrin, here's another example of where you're simply totally incorrect.
In fact, Community Boards are frequently consulted. Here's one of may examples. Consulted is the operative word. Because, Dear Orrin, if you knew your civics, and there are clearly huge gaps in your knowledge of civics (perhaps you were absent the day they taught it in law school), you'd know that under the City Charter, Community Boards are consultative bodies on items that involve the DOPR and that the DOPR always makes the final decisions. Your buddies in Queens must be giving you bad information.
Perhaps some of Orrin's wrongheadedness can be attributed to his paranoia. Many examples of Orrin's paranoia abound (see previous blog posts on this site). When things don't make sense to Dear Orrin through his careful evaluation of secondary and tertiary sources, our hero smells--CONSPIRACY!
Orrin has of late turned his maniacal obsession with the good people at FIDO, over to his paranoia about Tupper Thomas. There must be a conspiracy some where there! First our Dear Orrin accuses FIDO of being Tupper's puppet organization (which should be big news to the scores of people who founded FIDO ten years ago and who recently celebrated FIDO's ten year anniversary), and the 400+ paying members, and the hundreds more who participate in FIDO events. Now, our Dear Orrin believes that a personal legal matter that affected him last year was personally and continually thwarted by Ms. Thomas.
You see, when things don't go Orrin's way, he immediately lashes his rage and irrationality out on others. Our Hero's not one to live a life well examined.
Oh, and Orrin's Cynical Bogus Racist Ploy (one of his many paranoid delusions), took another hit as a local State Senator sponsored Diversity Day in conjunction with FIDO. Hundreds of people of all backgrounds attended to celebrate how responsible dog ownership brings all people of Brooklyn together (except for Orrin as one of the few hold outs). Photos of Diversity Day can be found on the FIDO site.

Damn! I incorrectly assumed Diversity Day would be canceled due to the hurricane threat. The Fido photos make it even more disappointing that I missed it because it looks like it was great fun.
Senator Eric Adams is the kind of fresh blood we desperately need in Albany. He is a good guy who obviously recognizes the value of off-leash to both humans and dogs (which by definition would exclude this Orrin guy, whomever he is).
I check Credo periodically just for the fun. I do like fiction.
The recent attacks on Tupper Thomas are pathetic. First, the guy Credo quotes is a Mr. Rob Jett. Since Credo got his private correspondence, I presume Mr. Jett is a friend of this Orrin guy.
Mr. Jett has a legitimate complaint against Marcia. Many of us have witnessed her horrible, selfish behavior. She should be fined or otherwise punished.
But anyone who knows the law (and Credo2 implies this Orrin might be an attorney- figures) would know that it is difficult when its one person's word against another's. Now that there are witnesses, maybe the police will finally get her. Parks does not control the NYPD.
Orrin reminds me of the old joke:
"Did you hear about that terrorists have hijacked a plane full of attorneys?
"Unless their demands are met, they are threatening to release one attorney per hour."
Think about it.
If you check CREDO, you will see that I have had a running debate with whomever runs that blog.
I just sent this into CREDO, though I doubt s/he will post it. Let's see. I also want to see if s/he posts here. If he does, I hope you will not censor him.
My attempted post:
You obviously do not understand the dynamics of baseball. Infielders play primarily around the bases or baselines. Outfielders cover large expanses of grass in sweeping arcs.
As I suggested, just google the question and you will see tens of thousands of sites referencing the same; including Parks sites that prohibit cleats or limit them to small rubber type on specific fields.
CREDO's obsession is telling. You call my commentary "abusive" but you blithly refuse to consider your own as anything but that which you protest.
I only attempt to post comments with you in the hope that you will start to reflect upon your own postings. Obviously you do not.
I suspect if you opened up your site to all comments that you would be flooded with opposing sentiments; not that a minority view has to be wrong. I would never assume that.
I do know that I sent you a comment referring to another site in direct opposition to you, and you did not post it. This tells me that you are fearful.
You should post (or try to) on the other site (whose name I do not mention here to save you from automatically deleting this). If that site censors you, I would object and would defend your right to comment.
You see- I believe in the TRUTH, FREE EXPRESSION, and INTELLIGENT DEBATE.
