Rant I guess?

I love the signature as well.

I visit boards to try to help those who need it, and advise on breeding/training/showing issues.

I can at times have a great negative feel, especially if I'm responding to threads that have to do with irresponsible breeding.

Bottom line, I don't think a forum with the true welfare of dogs at heart can be so restrictive that one cannot express negative sentiments to those who need to hear it.

I do think that just as in training dogs, the negative should be as minimal as possible and as effective as possible when it's necessary.

JMO as always.

I agree with you right there. But sometimes i have been seeing a lot of negative and positive things but it has been getting a little over board. Some people i think just misunderstand what other people are trying to say or what the thread is suppose to mean. For me i just try to help them understand what some people are trying to mean or that probably if you go overboard you might hurt someone's feelings. Mostly when i'm not in a good mood/negative mood I would definatley not use all my anger on someone for no reason i would just listen to music or something that would get all my stress out. I see some people are like that on here also.

PT seems to go through phases, like everything else. Actually, I like how Paul fixed it so we can see the first line or so when the mouse passes over the thread subject.- cuts down on the time it takes to sort through what I really want to read. There's still alot of interesting stuff posted. If things get ugly, I delete it from my thread list. As they say, "take what you want and leave the rest"

I'm with you on that one I love it how Paul fixed it so i can just not deal with it and forget about it.

I love your signature as well, and I never knew you had a cat. He/She is beautiful!

I have to agree with you whole-heartedly. I have really been dreading coming on here latley, and posting as well, because every morning when I sign in I always see a new argument starting up in an old argument. I still enjoy this place, but the arguments are quite frequent latley and I really try not to get involved but sometimes, I can't help it because it some things people say really hurt me and I post..Just my two cents, for all its worth. I hope things change soon, or I will be posting less frequently because I can't stand to see such a nice place with great people turn into boards and boards of arguments.

This board is so much nicer than the other boards I frequent. I got chewed out on another board this week for using newspaper for bedding and feeding the chinchillas calf manna mixed with their regular food.

If I see disagreements like that here, people are generally pretty tactful about it. I do see some tempers running high lately, but it happens sometimes, and it usually dissipates pretty fast.

Thanks for the nice comments on my siggy. He used to be my cat but hes now living the high life at my nans house with 2 other cats and is spoilt rotten


I find it hard to butt out of convosations when I feel I can add to what the subject is about but most of the time its just shrugged off or ignored by the posters like recently I went out of my way with a recent situation that happened and the person hasnt bothered to even contact me and I think in that particular situation that if you were genuine then you would want as much help as possible

and I swear to god I didn't want to cause anymore stress to no one so if this is what this thread is doing then I can delete it if its upsetting anyone.

I am hoping it all sorts out when kids school starts!


I agree though.. I used to post a lot more.
