Texas, I think that you are going truly overboard in attempting to berate this woman for asking for help for her dog.
I've been around dogs all of my life, I currently have two now, and I have taken the time to train them to a certain degree. Both of my dogs were found in the road and one came to us and one I picked up.
At the time that I got these two nuts, I surly wish that I would have had some advice for someone, especially for my puppy (he's 2 and my oldest is 14).
I say all this to say this point, when you have an older dog, which Hot Damn has, you have to have suggestions to work with the animal. My 14 year old dog can be the meanest bastard when he wants to be. I have pulled him, hit him, and yes, given him a but whipping when he needs to have one, even at 14. Sometimes, yes, discipline is what the animal needs right at that time until you have a chance to get the dog and you in a safe position.
I think Hot Damn seemed to just be asking for suggestions of how to help her older dog, and you just jumped up and down her butt because of some of the suggestions that she was willing to look into. Instead of bereating this woman/man/person, try giving a suggestion first and then if they take it good, if they don't, move on, but bereating the woman isn't going to get your point across.
