I've been there with one budgie forum. When I was told I was a bad pet owner because I kept my bird in her cage 24/7, even though she gets TONS of attention each day from 3 people(me, mom, and dad). I defended myself then left. I felt guilty so I wound up apologizing and when they apologized to me and said I was welcome to the forum I simply said "I came back to apologize, not join. I did this more for myself then I did for you, I am NOT joining a place like this." Then I left, never looked back. I am actively(ok not actively) part of 6 pet forums which I like alot and they are nice people, so I've been pretty lucky. I can't seem to get myself permanently away from pettalk unless I'm busy. If I am mad at something, I just stay away for a few days or barley post but I can't ever just leave unless I am really busy or something.

This forum is really great. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Flaming someone about something from the past is a little stupid. Glad you aren't going back, you're always welcome here
