Yes, BUT.. if someone we know (even if by this site) and we think they haven't thought something through, or are making a serious error in judgment or rash decision - not talking about a recent thread necessarily, but one by a very young girl quite some time ago, that really had nothing much to do with her animals but more of a personnal nature - should we not risk "hurting feelings"? There should be a way we can disagree out of concern.. and not be poo poo'ed for being "mean" or "uncaring". Sometimes it's because we DO care that we can't hold our tongues.
