Downright rude threads!

[Dorothy39]

As cyber-sibes pointed out, I too was raised with " The Golden Rule" and my Dad told me: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anthing at all"

I suppose I could also add that "family values" were a lot different while I was growing up~ but, I will not excuse anyone who berates another Pet Talk Member with snide remarks, nor, will I post on a thread that appears to be getting out of hand. (unless to say, "Take 5", of course)

There are incidents that have really made me feel so bad for the other guy~ and so~ I just avoid reading such threads altogether~


This forum is absolutley Wonderful and I know I couldn't go through a day without it.
I just wish that some people would simply bite their tongues ( or chew their nails) or just "ask": This is what I think you said

I'm glad Cyber-sibes created this thread, I was too chicken to do it!!

Believe it or not, I remember what it was like to be a "newbie" here. I was not only new to Pet Talk, but to the entire Internet thing. I was terrified of "chat" rooms and stuff because of all the bad stuff I had heard on tv.

I remember not posting on the Cat of the Day for a while because I really didn't know how to do it. I wondered if I should start a new thread or just post on the one already started. I didn't want to be rude and jump in on someone else's thread uninvited.

As you can see, I got over it. But if anyone had been the least bit rude to me, I would have been so hurt, I would never have come back. I try to keep that in mind, specially with dealing with newbies.
