COULD YOU PM ME WITH THAT INFO????


I belonged to another site and the rules were
way lax..

Talk about being flamed for having an opinion....

People were extremely rude and off color remarks were the norm......I think that 'net etiquette'
does exist and all too often people who do visit and post on sites do so without investigating the 'atmosphere'...and there are the people who have a
'proprietary' interest in the site, Moderators and
Members alike....

For me it's far more challenging to make people laugh and read posts without tossing in f-bombs and flaming people.....

I think PT is far and away a great site and the
arguements we have amongst ourselves are pretty
mild compared to what's out there....


That is why I like PT..

Yeah, I have also seen the newbies be attacked, I mean what a welcome that is! I wonder how many really come back after they have be so flamed!

I see no reason to insult people, or hurt their feelings. Fox-gal has a really good thread on here somewhere about this very thing. I cannot stand to see the rudeness that is shown to some of the people here by the older members, and I mean outright rudeness.

Like Ann said about our daddy, if you don't have anything nice to say don't post it. I seen one just yesterday, and I thought wow! That was just rude! But the way I see it, is why let this rude person make me act like them. I do not want to be like them. Ever!! Thats just not me! I see so many great people on here that are always sweet and kind, very willing to give KIND advice.
I love them for being these kind of people.

Petlover, you are headed in the right direction though, and what you said is worth alot, of course we are always going to wonder off topics, I am the worst one in the whole bunch to do that! I think I could be known a rambler! I just cannot help myself!

When you don't have somebody you can talk to at home, you people are it! The cats meow!

If everyone would remember to Be Nice it would go a long way!

[trayi52]

Karen, you are so right! Start out with a good feeling in your heart. Try to think of others feelings too. I don't want to hurt anybody, and if I have ever done so, I would want to be told. I love pet talk. Its like I said, there are so many sweet and helpful people here.

I don't understand what is wrong with off-topic threads, especially if they are the in the Other>General boards...after all, that is the purpose of all of the Other boards.

Also, I've never seen anyone be rude to a newbie right off the bat...

I'm not knocking anything you guys have suggested, I just don't think any of this has been a really big problem...nothing unusual at least.

Well, Brooke. There IS NOTHING wrong with the off topic threads. I didn't say that there was something WRONG with them, I just said that there may need... oh never mind
Yes, Brooke you are right, if they are in the General/other forums than it is ok. YES, that is the purpose of all of the other boards.
Also, sometimes people notice something that some people didn't even know was happening. It just deppends on where you are at the time.
A newbie has been attacked right off the bat before. It has been done more than once.

I personally have attacked some newbies after verifying that they were imposters and passing off some other person’s pics as their own pet. This happened several times.

I personally think the last few days have been unusually pleasant, but I have my own reasons for thinking that.

Its a new year, new beginings,and left over christmas tunes are still in my head.

[trayi52]

I know, I just watched the movie "Anger Mangement" and this song is now stuck in my and I can't get it out!!

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real

See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

Lol! New beginings, New year Puts a song in your heart, I know you will change it to ..."For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful Grover".
