| This is all I'm going to say, because this thread needs to end -- actually, no Trixie, I was NOT referring to you in the comment I made about "holier than thou" - in the thread that I posted that to, it was a general comment -- I had not even SEEN that you had joined in when I made the comment. So, I am just adding this to clear the air -- |

| You know, something like this happens every few months on this site. As an observant bystander who hasn't been involved in these incidents, most of the time these are simple misunderstandings. It saddens me to see this happen. So far, I haven't read any posts that would make me think that any of our members are bad, angry, argumentative, or purposely trying to stir up trouble. Let's give each other the benefit of the doubt or ask for clarification before we get angry or insulted. |

Just so I'm not portrayed as someone who lies or "makes things up" ..... allow me to quote you, Jan C.
"And Trixie, I'm sorry if you felt attacked -- but I must say sometimes these "holier than thou" posts make me a little, umm, mad."

See how easy it is for us to misunderstand each other? I'm sure that you didn't mean your post to be "holier than thou." I took it that you were just stating your opinion or sharing information.
What I do when I read a post that angers or upsets me is I'll go read another post or two before I reply to the original message. That gives me a cooling off period and gives me time to think before just reacting from the gut.
Please, let's all give each other the benefit of the doubt! Okay?  |

I did not say YOUR holier than thou post -- and I am sorry, I was mistaken in my earlier post -- obviously I did know you were on, as I apologized for your feeling attacked --- but, as the "holier than thou" comment was not directed at you, I really didn't remember that you were on the thread.
Now, I wonder, Trixie -- why do you never seem to appear except when there is some sort of "issue"? I wonder, have you ever posted anything about your rattie? I apologize if you have, but I honestly don't remember anything posted by you except some sort of controversy. Bye now! |

DITTO! My sentiments are exactly the same as yours Alpha Rattie.
This conversation needs to end.
Trixie, I have already apologized to you for you feeling "attacked" by someones post.
However, I think it is time to move on from that. No need to harp on things.
You have not involved yourself in any of our 'general' conversations,
nor have you started a post of your own to initiate conversation or
introdue yourself. Your last 2-3 posts have been to complain about the time you felt 'attacked'.
Now, I would love for you to stick around and carry on conversations with us, but if you are going to do that, please stop bringing the same things up over and over. We have all moved on...can you please do the same?

Just like I don't understand why some people love a good argument in person. I prefer calm and serenity.  I heard too much fighting while growing up. It makes my stomach churn.  |

I think Trixie adopted Mr. Chips and recently another rattie too. If I'm remembering correctly from the old site. |

| Actually, I had replied to one post where someone had a problem with their dog marking in the house. I gave a link for belly bands. My next post was a statement. I didn't say "shame on you for shopping at Petland". Too bad it was twisted into that, though. I haven't posted about myself or my rat terrier TRIXIE (my name is Joy), because of how I was treated in regard to the SECOND post I made about Petland. Jan C. - I see that by your "bye now" comment, that I am not welcome here. Suprisingly, the original poster of this thread felt the same way. Just making a point, and now that I have made it ..... I will leave you all and not bother you all anymore. Bye now. |

Once again, misunderstood -- bye now only meant I was through with this post (at least I thought I was -- but felt the need to come back and explain that to you). And, btw, I am NOT the website -- if you have a problem with me in particular, that doesn't mean you should condemn the whole site. Just ignore me!
Oh and btw, I reviewed the Petland post and no where did I say anything negative about you or to you. I simply told Mary Beth she should not feel guilty about getting her food from Petland -- Mary Beth is a wonderful lady who has rescued two half-blind dogs, she has nothing to feel guilty about.
Now, I really am done with this thread. I have better things to do! |

Wow! People Really Need To Chill!
There is a reason for all of this and things need to be kept in their proper perspective!
When we chat in forums, it is like reading in 2D. We do not see body language or hear the way things said are being expressed as a result. If we all read in 3D and consider the above factors, then we begin to see that the way we may take something written is really not the way it was meant to be. If we cannot give consideration of the whole picture in what we read, then these kind of things are bound to happen & are enevitable!
One "MUST" endeavor to give the benefit of the doubt in reading what is posted in a forum. I have been in forums with very mean spirited people who thrive on causing problems. I have yet to come across anyone like that in our family here! If someone leaves because they feel bad about something said, they will either be back soon or go another way and no amount of infighting or finger pointing will change that. It may in fact drive others away & we do not need the drama!
This thread needs to end now!
