Disturbing email

[Former User]

It was in the mailbox of Casper and Kitty this morning. And it said that since we only have cats, I'm not supposed to be posting things on the dog section at all. I should stick with cats. I'd like to think that I do know something about dogs, since I've had them for about 90% of the time I've been here on the earth. At the moment I don't have dog though, that's true, as you (maybe) know, we have Casper and Kitty now. But still, ever since we signed in for Pet Talk, I've been reading dog posts, everyday, and watching pics from your dogs etc. It just has been too painful to post things there, since I lost my dog due to an illness.
I'm not going to give the email addy from the person who send that mail to me ( I don't even have it anymore), it doesn't work. I tried to reply, but the message came back, user unknown or something like that.

Anyways, I presume you dog people don't have anything against other than dog owners posting there too? Of course I won't post things about our cats there

It has been nice to get to know so many cute and adorable dogs, but it has also made me miss my dog dearly. Unfortunately I can't have him back....

Here's his pic one's more:

NO WAY!!!! I think you should at least send the email address to one of the moderators so they can investigate it.

We Welcome you on the Dog Board too! And I personally loved your pictures of your departed dog.

Don't pay any attention to the atrocious person who sent you that email. Casper and Kitty are more than welcome on any part of Pet Talk that they want to visit!

Casper & Kitty are ALWAYS welcome on the Dawg's side of the Pet Talk Howse !

Did you get that unfriendly note as an internet e-mail; or as a Pet Talk Private Mail here on the BBS? This sonuds like a case for the Senior Head Detective, Mr. Paul! Send a copy of the mail, with whatever address you got, to Paul at: [email protected]

If anyone else gets any similar notes, please let us know right away. Thanks!

We just went to check the mailbox, but the mail is gone. I deleted the mail earlier and now hotmail has emptied the trashcan...

It was sent as an normal email, not as a private message from the Pet Talk forum.

Anyway, we don't pay anymore attention to this person, and we will keep posting things out here and there

How awful! I can't even imagine! I can't believe someone would say that to our dear, sweet Casper and Kitty and their humans! This is a website for people who love animals, regardless of whether they even have pets of their own at all. I talk about my kitties and turtle when I post on the dog side. What's the big deal? I agree that if it happens again, you should forward that person's e-mail address to Paul.

PS-Your Rainbow Bridge pup was so beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photo. Please give C & K snuggles from me.

Casper and Kitty and family:
As a 'dog side' person , I would say that you guys are always welcome with extremely open arms!
The way I see it, the Dog Talk boards are for anyone who loves dogs, is curious about dogs, has (positive) opinions or advice about dogs, and/or is owned by dog(s)! You were a dog owner, and have practical advice to share. And even if you didn't have that experience as a dog owner, your thoughts would certainly be welcomed!
I'm sorry and disapointed to hear that someone on here thinks the Dog boards are exclusively for current dog owners.
Please realize that was just one silly person's viewpoint!

I agree!! Post anywhere ya want about anything ya want! And definitly tell Paul/Karen if it happens again!

Casper and Kitty please join us on the dawg side any time you like. I personally think everyone is invited that wants to come and share about previous, current, or new pets of any kind. I can't imagine someone sending that. It is just awful! Please ignore it and as Joan Rivers would say "CAN WE TALK?" Yes we can on Dog of the Day! and we can even talk about KITTIES if you want! Cause I have a Kitty in my house too!!!

[wolflady]

Awwww C & K!!! You two are just too cute for words and I always enjoy reading your posts wherever they may be!! I too don't have a dog right now (rainbow bridge) and I don't post very much on the dog side, but I do read everything that goes on. I agree...Cat Talk, Dog Talk, Pet Talk...General...anyone that loves animals can post anywhere they please! Lots and lots of hugs and scritches! We love you guys!!

[Pam]

Casper and Kitty....PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT PERSON!! This is a loving family of pet lovers and we do have freedom here! I can't imagine who would do such a thing! I was posting on the dog side long before I brought Bella into my life. When I first found Pet Talk I was pretty much like you, (had dogs in the past but at present was just a kitty owner) but that never stopped me from reading the dog posts and responding. As far as we're all concerned ....POST AWAY TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!!

Marius's Mommy.....Are you Wolflady? How did you get a new log-on name and your post # got carried over?

[kobieeli]

C & K, what a strange thing to have happen to you! Whoever told you that obviously doesn't appreciate some of the wonderful stuff you learn from the "crossposting" folks: I stick to the dog section almost exclusively, and yet it sure is fun to see things about cats, turtles, ferrets, birds, etc. as I wander around DogTalk. Multi-species people are great!

Nappe was a gorgeous dog, too. Thanks for the photo!

[Karen]

Casper and Kitty, please send me whatever you know about this person, even if you do not still have the email - a user name or whatever you remember. We do NOT sanction exclusionist behavior on these sites - cat people are welcome on the dog side, dog people oin the cat side, everyone on all the "sides" and, by the way - we don't think of them actually as "sides" anyway - more like sections, that's all. Paul and I started this site, and we feel responsible for it, so I would love to be able to email that person and remind them that we are a friendly place and they weren't playing nicely!

Cyberhugs to Casper & Kitty's two-leggers ...

[wolflady]

Pam, I went into my profile today to change my email address (I'm not going to use hotmail anymore since I just keep getting annoying floods of porno c**p in my account all the time..and I'm highly offended by that stuff), and there was a box where you could specify a user name to be displayed in the forums! I thought that was cool, and changed it to Marius's Mom, but my login ID is still wolflady. Cool, huh?

**hugs** to C & K and their adorable humans too...and everyone here on POTD!! It's a great place to be!

Casper and Kitty, please don't go away because of one person's mistake! We love you too much! I sometimes post on the dog side and I've had only one dog in my life who has been at the RB going on 30 years now!
