Minion has been sick :(

Good for Minion, and I sincerely hope that his sickness is over.

I just now saw this thread. I was always under the assumption that the more stars that were attributed to a thead, the more educational, interesting, and/or entertaining it was. This is what I have believed since posting on the forum over a year ago. Am I wrong in this? I remember once spring when Tiger had a 3" piece of grass stuck in her nose passage, that the thread was annotated with 5 stars. I took it as a compliment, or are we talking about the same thing?

Yes, actually shortly after I posted about Min being sick, someone gave it a one star rating...indicating the lowest rating possible. The only reason it has more stars now is because some of my friends here were kind enough to pitch in to rate it better. I can't say I have never rated a thread with one star, as I have, but it was towards a member who was a real "piece of work". Some punk kid came here several months ago and was extremely rude to several of the members here and I gave his very pointless, insulting thread a one star rating. He upset me and several others. His threads were rude and insulting. He was eventually banned. It was just really poor judgement to have my thread about my sick cat rated poor for no reason. But I know that even though there are nasty people out there, they are WAY outweighed by the wonderful ones. I am not going to focus on the negative any longer because whoever it was who did that, does not need me to give them any more attention. They have no love in their heart.

Again thank you everyone.

Leslie,

I am so glad Minion is feeling better. I have followed along and was so worried.

Please don't let the rating thing bother you. Frankly, I have no idea how it is done or what it means. It is really possible that someone as ignorant as I did it by mistake or experimentation! (Although I assure you it wasn't me. I stay away from the high tech things that I can mess up!)

Far better to assume the best about someone and be wrong than to assume the worst and be wrong!

A tickle under the chin to Minion!

I'm so happy Minion is doing better, and I loved the pictures of him - he's such a cutey....eeerrrrr...handsome I mean. ;) :) And I too would like to know how they do that twist around thing - that is a great picture! :)

I just read this whole thread. poor baby! I'm glad Minion is better... no more problems?

*HUGS TO YOU AND MINION!*

I'm so happy he's doing better. Poor little guy. Give that gorgeous tummy a rub for me. :D


For good measure I tried to give the thread it's highest rating and it would not allow me too. :confused:

But what's important is that you know that people who are important to you are the ones that matter and we are happy that Minion is better. :)

Adore my Dogs; I have found that by ignoring such unkind posts, and notifying the others about doing the same, usually the offenders will leave. Don't react to them, because then you feed on thier rudness and give them power to continue their deeds. Of course we have an option to notify Karen about such posts also.
