RE: Rockee thread

I saw the jabs regarding education in the other thread so I am not very surprised, that is very mean spirited and does not belong on pettalk imho.

OK, catlady made this thread to clarify that her post was not intended to offend anyone. It is nice of her to do that. I can't see why people are still bickering. Talking about "tones", whether or not it sounds "trolly", and talking about pots and kettles is just bordering on ridiculous.

Since we are over the internet, we really dont know how someone is saying things, sometimes it is just taken wrong.

EXACTLY!

Things that are said in PM's should stay in PM's and not be posted in the forum. That would kind of defeat the purpose of PM's.

Take a step away from the computer and go hug your pets. There are bigger things to worry about.

I saw this... then went to check the other thread.. and I must say...

without taking any sides or anything

I totally understand what Catlady meant in her post... perhaps it might have sounded rude to some as the thread was of a sick aging dog... even if it was not towards her or her situation....

just like pets there are people who live in the worst conditions (not saying any of here are) and get to live up to 100 years... and people like us (supposedly more healthy and with more possibilities to stay that way) might get to 60,70, 80´s or even in mid 20´s.........

there are lotsa things involved on how long a person/pet lives and that is no meaning how good they were taken care of.....

the apology, IMO, wasn´t necesary but as I am not the owner of the aging dog I don´t know how they took it, as they might be feeling down and defensive about her...totally understandable too....
so it was a good thing Catlady apologized, even if Catty1 re-explained everything, so no words are being left twisted or misunderstanded...

internet is a tough way to catch a feeling, a thought, an expression...even more when you are upset...

I found it amusing that her mother is the one who has been PMing me and threatening me to keep my mouth shut, while calling me a myriad of nasty names, and all that, and Alicia hasn't said a word for herself.

I was away all weekend at a compition that's why I didn't reply. My mom yes she can do alot of the name calling but I know she wasn't the only one so don't try and make yourself look inocent.

And your rationalization about your wording is like saying "I didn't call you a ***** I called you *****y." Wow... big difference.

There is a BIG difference I think most people wouldn't take so much offense if they were to say your in a *****y mood today rather then your being a ***** today. Maybe that's just me and the people I know..

This thread is dead to me. Good day

Ditto, along with the rude people replying in it. I just wanted to have some say in these threads about me first.

No one - I repeat no one - should resort to name calling on Pet Talk. Swearing is not allowed. Asterisking out one letter of a swear is not allowed. Just don't use that word.

Never post angry. Walk away, then come back and reread the post - keep in kind that things can be written one way and read another, and misunderstandings result. Never post when angry. Never swear on Pet Talk.
