I've Had Enough.

[Kfamr]

please keep myself, my dog, or anything doing with me out of your issues.

i said/did nothing wrong to you. i found what you said as quite rude. if you are not upset with me then don't even mention me i appreciate everyone "trying" to help but telling someone they're being snappy is not helpful at all, and until you're in the exact situation you'll never know.. and i would never ever wish my situation upon anyone.


my sweetheart is missing and on top of that
i am going to go dirt poor as i've gone thru numerous paper packages, ink, tape, gas, etc. looking for Kiara and not having been to work since Monday.

(((HUGS))) You know how much I enjoy you on pt, and I would not want you to leave. If you still feel the need to leave (DON'T) please keep in contact with me on msn.

Come on guys, geeze. Lets not let our petty problems make us hateful
with each other.If you want to share your hurt feelings, PM somebody.

Kiara & Kay are going though something so tragic, it would make a saint
angry.Lets give each other some space & don't try to make this into something it isn't. Hope & pray for Kiara & Kay, and leave everything else
alone.

It is always better to handle personal greivances through private messages than in a public thread. If you have a problem with anyone in particular, there are three good ways to handle it:

1. Try to work out some understanding between yourselves via Private Message or email - not publicly.

2. Contact me, and let me handle things privately, which I am doing between two of the parties involved in this thread.

3. If this fails, put that person on your Ignore list.

Pet Talk is a large and varied community. There are bound to be disagreements from time to time, but we should all treat each other respectfully, remembering that we are all here because we love pets. That gives us something in common. And even if you have 10 people on "Ignore," there are hundreds of other active members with whom you can enjoy your time on Pet Talk.

Awww, I'm sorry Jess. Your comment did not seem the slightest rude to me, but perhaps Kay thought it was offensive somehow. I'm sure she is extremely upset because she has just lost Kiara and I'm sure she didn't mean it. Don't leave or give up giving advice. (((Hugs)))

I, too, have noticed the increased bashing of PT members. I guess this is just a stressfull time for PT.

Ps: Jess, if you need anyone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

I know you dont like me at all, but why would you quote things from other posts to single people out? Why didnt you pm these people if you were hurt? Instead of making it public..thats why there is such thing as pm-ing. I think calling someone snappy when they are upset and stressed and going through a terrible time is rude . How other people dont find it offensive I dont know but it is.

I think what you said was thoughtful and nice.

And everyone should just let it go....

I hope everyone just calms down. Until you have proof to the contrary, ASSUME that a person is innocent of any wrong doing. Assume that the comments are made with genuine care and concern. Know that human beings under stress aren't always tactful. Sometimes we don't realize how we come across. Saying that someone is snappy or sounds stressed, is not a rude comment (in my opinion). It shows concern. And finally, if a person is so sensitive that they interpret various comments as negative, then message boards and chat rooms are not the place for you.

I have to agree with BC_Mom on this one, I have NEVER seen one single even remotly rude post from her but she is constantly being attacked, it astounds me how many posts I see accusing her of being extremly rude when reality check? nearly every post exept hers is rude, it drives me nuts.

I am with you on that. It has happened to lots of people here that are my friends and they weren't being rude at all. they were being poliete just get attacked by it.

Jessica hope you feel better and you can pm me anytime to talk things through or vent i'm here for you.

[BC_MoM]

I'm going to completely ignore and block out what you just said, Kay. Keep you and your dog out of my issues? What in the WORLD are you talking about?!

Thank you very much, Cali.. I highly respect you.

I interpreted "snappy" as "ready to snap", when your nerves get bad.

"Snappy" can also mean saying things without thinking, or getting angry suddenly and "snapping" at someone by the way you speak.

BOTH come from very stressful situations.

Remember - PT has a lot of people, and a lot of age differences. What one word means to someone from one age group can mean something TOTALLY different to another one.

Heck - when I was younger, it was not cool to be a "Geek". Now computer experts have that work in their names and advertising!

One last thing - deep breath, friends - there are three sides to every situation: The way you see it, the way the other person sees it, and the wa it really is.

GROUP HUG!

I have closed this thread. Everyone take a deep breath and go pet a pet.
