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.
