One hundred percent agreed.

I truly don't know where I would be today if I had not found Pet Talk. I went onto Google and typed in Pet Forums and was lucky enough to come across PT. Once I joined Pet Talk and got to look around and stuff, I was amazed. Everybody was so nice and I did not see one person fight. I assumed that where this forum is all about pets and how we love them that people would be nice, but I never expected them to be this nice. Never once have I seen a forum where people were not at each other's throat. Most of the forums I've been on were full of foul language and everybody was yelling at everybody and dissing everything. There's just no other word to discribe Pet Talk but amazing.

That's the main reason why I continued posting on Pet Talk. And getting to see everybody's adorable pets and learn about them is wonderful. Everybody is so trusting here. Pet Talk is just one big family and it is very special to me.

Even my parents and sister notice a difference in me. My sister noticed that I smile a lot more now and my mother especially notices how much I've learned about animals and how much more I love them and appreciate them.

It is only natural that some people clash. Not everyone in this world gets along perfectly, and they are going to argue and fight and defend themself, it is only human nature. But we must remember to have self-control. Even I have to remember to because I can have quite a temper when I want to.

And we can disagree with other people's opinions and say that we disagree, but we must respect their opinion and they will respect our's. That's the one big thing that I remember when posting on a forum, because disrespect of opinions is what I find to be one big cause of fights.

All in all, I just don't like it when I see people fighting - especially on Pet Talk. Sure sometimes what people say can be funny, but it's fighting nonetheless. And personally, I do not wish to be on bad terms with anyone on this site.

Exactly.
