I totally agree. And if the thread is locked before too many can reply, that would be great.Quote:

agreed 100%
But Karen this has not been the first time one of these threads has gotten out of hand and nothing has been done about it.
DEFINITELY make this a sticky, for sure. :)Quote:

I appreciate that people are reading and getting something out of this thread again, however I'd request please to not turn THIS thread into an argument or finger-pointing thread. This thread is about taking personal responsibility for how each of us individually reacts. We can't always point fingers somewhere else, we must each take responsibility for how we react and how we post. That is where a good board atmosphere starts. If we can all work towards this goal, there will be less need for moderation intervention anyway ;).
This thread shouldn't be sullied by arguments or finger pointing. I do know that Karen and Paul do their best by us. I also think that there are a lot of threads that go too far, but, just as in the thread in Dog General now, there are several people that don't think the thread needs to be locked. Just because even the majority of folks think a thread should be locked, doesn't necessarily mean that it will be. And, it's not necessarily because Karen isn't "doing her job" and locking the thread...it could be because she might not agree that it needs to be locked. I'm only speculating here, but, again...check out the thread in Dog General, there are several that don't think it should be locked at all. Maybe Karen feels the same way about it. I think Karen and Paul are excellent moderators and feel that they do a superb job in keeping this place pleasant.

If you feel like my post is "finger pointing" I'm sorry I don't want to disturb this thread so I will delete my comment, though I still stand behind what I said.
I PM'd you Amy :).

But anyways, I agree with what is being said and the next time we have one of these threads I'm staying out of it.
Are we the same person? So did I! :DQuote:
