To Everyone on PT

**Lady's Human** · 11-17-2006, 10:34 PM

While the Mayor has the diplomatic genes from our family, I'm going to give it a shot.

Lately here there have been many accusations, arguments, spats, and bouts of general unpleasantness.

Please, everyone. Enough.

Our Mayor runs PT as a hobby, and tries with all her limited might to keep it a pleasant place. We're here because we all love animals, regardless of what our other beliefs might be.

If there is a member who you have a disagreement with, either take it to PM, and settle it there, or let the mayor handle things. Use the ignore list. To paraphrase the innkeeper from "Man of LaMancha"

Noise, trouble, fights, kill each other if you must, but for god's sake DON'T DO IT HERE!

Please don't argue in threads (political bickering in the Dog House aside), make statements that may be offensive to others, or pick fights. Don't turn an otherwise pleasant place into a war zone. We have enough of those on this dirtball we call earth.

Again, we're all here because we love our pets. Let's share a little of that with each other. Wouldn't our furry friends want it that way?

Chivilry is still alive

Karen is lucky to have a sweet brother watching out for her.

So right! Thank you Lady's Human for being there for your sister and for PetTalk

This is a great site and is populated by a wonderful group of people. Karen and Paul have invested time, resources, heart and soul into this community. They deserve to be respected by all. It saddens me some days to see the nonsense that occurs in some threads and how it impacts others. My instinct is to stay away from those issues however, knowing they happen upsets me nonetheless.

I hope this thread is something of a wake-up call for those who abuse their privilege of being here.

Again, thank you for being so supportive - many here sincerely appreciate your thoughts and your feelings.

Betty

I agree. Maybe that's why some people aren't here as much as they use to be. Or gone. Tsk. Tsk.

You've hit the nail on the head with that one Karen. Thanks LH, and give Karen our very best wishes.

Very well said indeed!

Awwww what a great brother you are!

**catnapper** · 11-18-2006, 07:08 AM

Here here! To paraphrase a saying - "Try to be as good a person as your dog thinks you are"

**pnance** · 11-18-2006, 01:04 AM

Well said!!

**Kfamr** · 11-18-2006, 01:25 AM

Very well said. It's too bad some people come here just to cause trouble and lie to us.

I know Karen has been a bit under the weather lately so kudos to you for being such a great big brother!

**Miss Z** · 11-18-2006, 07:39 AM

I am in agreement. I retaliate, and I know I do, to posts I don't like, but really we all love this place because of the heart of it all - the pets. I must try to ignore some threads in future.
