Why I Have Deleted Posts and Threads

I know exactly of what ES speaks. I have seen it on here for years now and it is usually the same cast of characters, so to speak.

Everyone is very quick to jump down ES throat about stuff. I stand in support of her and her post. She has been called names that have astounded me. I can't think of one single person that is attacked in the manner that she is.

Well said, Johanna! I certainly support her, too! It really is disappointing how some can get away with all these nasty comments to her, and she is not allowed to fight back or defend herself. Is that fair?

Some of us have known ES since 2002, and we know what she stands for. She is a funny, educated, catloving woman. She may not agree with the majority of Americans concerning politics, though, and that seems to be a big problem. Why let a few newcomers ruin the good atmosphere we had on PT!

I second that. Only one exception- I know a lot of Americans who would agree with her concerning politics. The US for me is a nation which I admire for its history and its appreciation of independent thought.

No one is allowed to call each other names and get away with it. No one. I have scolded people via PM on both sides of the battle, asked that posts be edited, and done editing and deletion myself.

I never told anyone they could not defend him or herself. I have repeatedly reminded folks to treat each other with respect. I do not take sides with regards to politics or issues, I want everyone to be polite to each other.

Anyone who notices name-calling should PM me as soon as they notice it, as I cannot be reading every thread every minute.

Anyone who has been called a name should PM me, and tell me what thread it is in, before responding in kind.

This is Pet Talk. We have one thing in common - our love for pets. On everything we may disagree, but only if we can maintain our civility and respect for each other.

And agreeing to disagree on an issue is not "losing" - it is often the only resolution possible.
