What an EXCELLENT post Jessica! Very well said!
Maybe we can make this a sticky (at least for a short time) so it is fresh in everyones mind when they most need it.

I've never seen this post before, thank you so much for bringing it to my attention Jess.
Truer words have never been spoken

It's much easier to not even waste any energy to reply at all. That way it doesn't fuel the fire or irritate you. As soon as I saw the title to that thread, I knew to stay out of it.

[Flatcoatluver]

I agree 100%

[Lobodeb]

Very well said.

[CathyBogart]

I agree, and I admit I have been guilty of lashing out at something I percieved as cruel rather than trying to educate the poster about it. I try to back off and give it some time before I post, I'll have to make that more of a habit.

I agree.

What really surprises me every time is that these threads are allowed to
go on and on for 8-9 pages and a moderator doesn't step in to say something
sensible & get people to stop adding to the problem. Very large view totals
and responses in a rather mundane thread should be some kind of clue, that
something is going on.

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

I am sorry that I had a terribly busy day today at work, installing a new drive and software on the one machine that effects everyone there, and no one from Pet Talk sent me an alert about that thread until 4:30 this afternoontoday. I cannot look at every thread every minute, but if a thread even BEGINS to concern you, do send me a PM - those I read instantly, as soon as I log into Pet Talk, which I do periodically even on busy days.

[sammy101]

agreed 100%

[CagneyDog]

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.

[Anita Cholaine]

I had never seen this thread before, but I just wanted to say that I agree 100% with you...

[Laura's Babies]

AMEN! Well put! I come here to be cheeried up, not get caught in up the middle of something.

[CountryWolf07]

Wow, why have I not seen & read this post? Great, great post, Jess! Thank you for posting this.
