I just thought this should be bumped up as a reminder. And, remember, don't turn this thread into a place for name calling and ugliness. Go with Thumper...if you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all. :)
I had never seen this thread before, but I just wanted to say that I agree 100% with you...
AMEN! Well put! I come here to be cheeried up, not get caught in up the middle of something.
You are so right..I like that, if you cant say something nice , dont say any thing. Great POst.. :D
I feel like this needs to be brought up again....
I feel like this needs to be brought back to the surface again. There are just so many things that are said to people in here that if the people were face to face, they would never be so brazen or hateful. It saddens me to see usually nice people say such mean things. That's why there are private messages, and, I really wish people would use them more. And, if someone disagrees with me posting this and pulling this thread up again, please use the private message function to tell me all about it, because I don't want to see this thread turn into something other than what it's meant to be - a reminder to be kind.
I agree and am sorry to anyone who I may have been nasty to.
I totally agree. I'm also sorry if I've ever lost my cool in any situation... I know it doesn't help to get angry.
Wonderful message, I don't see how I've missed this thread!
If I've ever affended anyone, I appologize.
I usually try to stay out of heated discussions if I am tempted to say something that would make someone upset.
K9Soul, thanks for posting this thread! It is great, and it really made me think of what I have said in the past, and now to remind me to watch what I say in the future.
I am sorry to anyone I have ever yelled at or gotten mad at, and I hope that you can forgive me.

Kari thanks for bumping this up. I've been noticing that people have been getting pretty nasty again here lately and it really saddens me:(Quote:

I hope this reminds everyone how much PT and the members here mean to each other.

Very good thread - things can get a bit out of hand sometimes....
There's a thread starting in Pet Talk that made me think of this thread. I love Jessica for starting this when she did, and, I will forever and ever bring it back up as a reminder. :)
I just don't understand why people don't just use the pm function. It's so much easier, so much kinder and SO much more appropriate and mature.
Nicely said!
Great post, Jess. I know I am guilty of this lately - but only because I will not let myself be put down in front of others.
Wow, why have I not seen & read this post? Great, great post, Jess! :) Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for posting, that was very well said. :)
I don't post much in Pet Talk anymore, but I do remember this thread, and thought it was a good time to bring it up again. :)

Yes it does need reading again. I remember a long time ago that thread about reggie being sick but i could not afford to take her to the vet. It turned into one of the biggest flame wars that i have ever seen. Then it carried on into my other threads. Made me take a break from here for a while.
I agree 100% with this post.
Me being at both ends,I have had a finger pointing at me also.But i know that some were trying to help,and others i felt were just being rude.
I have said and done some ignorant things myself,I have gotten heated at some posts also,so i am not playing an innocent role by all means.
But in the end i just hope that i come across as a good pet owner,all should know i do anything possible to keep my animals safe.I feel it is a learning game,it don't matter how long you have owned your pets there is something to be learned daily.When i see a fight breaking out i simply just ignore it even though i might peak in to see what is still being said.But reality is this forum is a hobby,and why make your hobby stressful?It ain't worth it i come too see pictures,read posts and even learn a thing or two.
There is always going to be that one person that wants to create problems,Some people cant live there life without drama,But they are figured out within there first couple posts and can be ignored.There is no sense of having the place we love being in shambles because of trouble makers right?
I agree. I never cause trouble, everyone else makes my posts into flame wars.Quote:

It's not just this board, I've seen fighting on two other messageboards (not pet related) recently that normally don't have much conflict.
And before anyone says it (no malice intended), no I did not post in any of the threads the other boards are fighting in. lol
Especially since I'm schooling to become a vet tech, I have to teach myself restraint and to exert professionalism at all times. This is a great place to practice.
I admit sometimes I've played into threads just for the drama, because let's face it, I'm a pretty forward person with my opinions.
But I think what also helps is to put yourself in their shoes; if that were you, what responses would you react the best to? Accusations and harsh words only turn people away; but polite and soft spoken advice people generally tend to listen to and lean toward. Nobody wants to be told they are wrong! Instead of pointing fingers and making accusations, educate! Suggest a different method; suggest educational sites so they can learn on their own to make their own decision on a topic rather than just telling them what's "right" and what's "wrong".
Education is key. :)
