They seem to be getting a really bad name here. It's just a place to go and write. Yes, a lot of people do write about other people, but don't let that ruin your opinion about everyone who uses it I don't think I have ever, or would ever, say anything ill of PT or its members in my journal. I love it here too much

Live Journal does not only have journals, though blogs are the main thing there. There are many different communities you can join. Livejournal is not private by any means. It is made specifically for your friends to comment on things you wish to talk about, and if there is something you DO NOT want someone besides yourself reading there is the "private" option if you really want to keep it private. I love posting photos and other things in my journal and ranting to friends as only they could possibly understand what is going on. I love the idea of Live Journals. It's a great place! AND, frankly, if I did want to say something about someone on PT, I wouldn't hesitate. Either they like it or they don't and I don't hide anything. If I say it in my journal they most definitely know on PT rather I dislike them or not.

Ok, I still just don't get it. I don't understand why you would want to put down someone and hurt their feelings. It just seems so rude and so hateful. I have read some of these online journals and frankly I was quite shocked. I didn't know that some of the Pet talkers went somewhere else and put Pet Talk down and along with some of the people here. I've read some nasty stuff. It made me very sad. I love pet talk and think of it as my extended family. I would never want to purposely hurt someone's feelings here. Like I said I guess I'm a little on the naive side. I guess I was raised "old school". Good morals and values and respect for others. Then there is the old question of if you bad mouth pet talk so bad and don't like so many of the people here than why do these people still hang around? Oh well, just my opinion and I don't usually get involved with this kind of stuff. I just don't like too, but this was bugging me.
