Dionne, I don't know you, and I don't know Wenisrubber (whose name, I assume, is Angelique, either). I would get to know you, one day, probably, through continued posting by both of you.

You are a good friend to be so defensive of your friend, but at the same time, I think that your message carries almost "hate" instead of concern. That is sad to me. I think there have been a tremendous amount of responses to this thread in Cat General and in the Dog House, where it was originally posted. They may not necessarily be what was hoped for, but that is one of the things that happens on these message boards. If you post a concern or a question, then you have to be ready for the responses.

I don't know if I'm included in the group that you are angry with. I had to consider that given that you responded not too long after I posted my response. I did send a PM to Wenisrubber, apologizing if I was offensive, because I certainly did not mean to be, nor do I ever mean to be in any post that I post.

This is a terrific forum, made up of wonderful pet lovers and some people are going to "click" and some are not going to. I think that was the general message that came through loud and clear in this whole thread. It is sad that she felt like no one was respecting her opinions, but like I said before, I think every single one of us have been there. And it comes with time, too.

Please rethink your anger and try to understand people's responses without getting so bent out of shape. I just hate it when people get so upset.

With best intentions,
Logan
