Must be contagious...I'm banned from chat and then I looked for the thread from yesterday....gone gone gone.....It certainly would be a pleasure to talk with nice people that allow opinions instead of someone that thinks because she was given a "title" has become a dictator....Did it ever occur to anyone over there at TP that maybe it's ms.moderator who just might be wrong...at least some of the time....

After last night's disgraceful episode in the way I was treated I have no use for her .

Hopefully, there are a lot fo smiling people here.

Oh no you only found what she did not delete. And the chat is not accessable to youguys. Cricket attacked me in a chatroom last night.

Cricket is a powerstruck moderator is all it is. If you disagree with her she will bann you. The whole thing was primarily over GinaH and the fights we had. She purposely picked fights with me and I defended myself against the attacks and I was told I had not right to do that basically. Cricket accused ME of picking the fights. Jawlaw was accused of being a troll on TP and the member they thought was her was banned. That member had asked me if he could give a home to one of the dogs in need and stuck up for me and was all of a sudden banned. I asked how they knew it was Jawlaw and I was told how dare I question them. I am not some child who cowers in a corner when abused I fight back. I have a mind of my own. I have opinions like everyone else. But there I was critisized for my views. Told I was a big know called names and told I had no right to say anything really. Cricket asked me why I couldn't just be like everyone else. And she was told I am me! You accept me for me or don't! Because I did not kiss her butt is what got me banned. Because I dared to question her and because I disagreed with her.  

~~Cricket attacked me in a chatroom last night.~~

WHAT???   She is up to her old tricks again???  Pits.....this brings back old memorises for me.....lol.  You weren't around for the infamous 'chat conversation' where they drilled me into the ground, called me a liar. made comments about the other members of TP, etc.....lol.  That whole thing was copied and pasted on TP AND verified by to of it's most popular members who also happened to be in chat that night.  I KNOW how disgustingly ruthless they can be in chat because "no one will see".   Well, they got busted on their chat with me which resulted in my banning.

BTW - I know you mentioned somewhere that they told you this was like the 4th forum I had.  That is true.  After being banned from TP I set up a free forum and we a few of us went nuts on it....letting off steam, cursing, it was awful - I wont deny it.  They kept hacking into my forums and changing my password and stuff.  After a few attempts I decided ot go with a paid server and make a 'real' forum out of the whole thing.  A forum where we could discuss most anything, post links, recommend other forums, and do all the things that we couldn't do over there.  We voted on the name and it ended up becoming The Furum (because of our furry friends).  I purchased the domain www.thefurum.com and this forum is linked off the home page.  I',m  still working to make this a full service website for pet lovers (I'm just slow...lol).  It's turned out great so far.....and you can see by the hit counts that this forum is pretty popular.  There are MANY people at TP who read this forum everyday that are not members here.  Just the same, any of them are welcome to join and be treated as well as any of the rest of us.  It's just a shame because most of them know that if they join here, they will be ultimately banned from TP or ignored over there.

I think being a member of many different forums is great - they don't.  To me that shows insecurity in their own forum.  What are they afraid of?  That people will find something better and quit visiting TP?  Because  of their behavior over there, they are probably right.  There are alot of great forums out there who don't have the constant drama that they have (and people are sick of).  We have our own drama from time to time, but it is not daily, constant, and the people in charge here are as fair as any I have seen.  As our memberbase grown, there will be more dis-agreements and conflict.  That is to be expected, but it's how that conflict is handled that is important.  I NEVER want a member to feel like they are unwanted, ignored, dis-respected, or have their feelings hurt over anything said in this forum.  Unfortunatley, you can't please everyone, but we can sure try.....and not once have I seen any personal feelings come into play here as a reason for a post to be edited, etc.  Thats just not going to happen.

There are some members here who (understandably) don't like reading about the TP issues.  I allow them to be discussed because I feel it is important to allow people to discuss their feelings and because most have 'been there' already.  The issues usually lasta  few days and then they become lost in the thread count.....and we are back to discussing pets and any other good stuff we come across.

This forum is made up of real, live people who have real, live feelings, that can sometimes be affected by a real, live internet.  Prohibiting someone from discussing those feelings (which are important to them) is not doing anything positive in helping that person get over those feelings.  We have to 'get things out'.  We have to 'talk'.  Thats how we get over things.  I hope that those of you who are tired of the TP issues will try and understand that and bear with me and the others while these issues arise. 

ALL of you are valued members here.  Without you, The Furum wouldn't exist.
