Two members now banned - Merico & Bessieloubop

colliemom · Puppy Post'er (I'm gonna be one BAD dog someday!)

Thank you as I feel enough is enough...I would much rather come here and enjoy and learn than consistently hear whining....My kids were babies when then learned not to whine and certainly not to make derogatory remarks about others...

You pay for all of this. You have every right to do what you want with it.

Ansy · Site Admin

I know jaw, but I want it to be fair and if its not then I want someone to let me know.

Paige · ~Grand Champion~ Gold Medal Poster!

But I think what you did was right and I like it that you stated a reason for the banning.

I know you were kidding--making a joke out of someone else's comment, but please consider how someone not involved in the tp/furum conflict might react. --protodog

I agree with Paige. One of the things I like about this forum is how open and honest everyone is. There are no secrets which I think makes for a happier forum! I think Ansy has every right to do what she likes with this forum and she does a great job. I also really like that you stated your reasons as well.

jawlaw · Moderator

You have given them a reason which is much more than they gave us. I also think it was fair.

I have to agree, this is the first forum that I have ever seen when a member was banned. Usually they are in the Mod section (don't know if they forum has one or not cause I can't see it LOL)

I see nothing wrong with the banned. I personally think that us pathetic rejects are a great bunch we have to stick together!

I know you were kidding, but the line I took out could really hurt someone's feelings, someone who has nothing to do with the tp/furum conflict. --protodog (edited again because I forgot to sign my name)

he he he

I know you were just making a joke, but take a moment to think about how someone who had been in that situation would feel if he/she read the post. --protodog (edited again because I forgot to sign my name)

I missed what was edited and really no big deal anyway I am sure there was good reason. As for the banning I have to give Ansy a lot of credit. She really thought it through and asked for imput from others. I stand behind her decision. If you have something to say say it directly but when you play nice to someones face and then go behind their back and badmouth them that is a whole different story. No one here did Merico any harm and for the things that were said to be said was unacceptable. Bessielou I am surprised at as I always thought highly of her. Guess you never really know someone. I had pleanty to say about Cricket and it was nothing I would not say directly. I never hid behind a chat where I could control who was able to speak their mind and who was able to defend themselves.

Ansy I feel very comfortable here and I appereciate the warm welcome I recieved and how open minded you are in the running of your forum. Your doing a great job and I forsee this forum becoming a place where membership will certainly grow and people can feel comfortable to be who they are without being judged and assasinated by the attacks of others who disagree.

oops. Sorry... Didn't realize it would be considered name calling. Thanks, Proto... I have to give you something to do...:) lol

protodog · Forum Moderator

No problem.

I know you were not trying to be mean.

jawlaw · Moderator

Sorry protodog- I was being mean.... thanks for making me be nice!! lol

I've only been on a couple of days, and have tried to ignore the posts regarding this conflict or whatever it is, but it's kind of hard to avoid reading. I just want to say everyone has been really nice and I hope you guys work it out. Really enjoy the pet posts.

jawlaw · Moderator

Thanks Daisy- we really did try to blow them off, but then we keep seeing our names being bashed over there and then cannot respond. It is very frustrating!!

MollieMae01 · Moderator

Well, Ansy, you knew I'd definitely have to post on this one, lol!! All I have to say is you did what you had to do to make this forum a better place and stand out against the rest. I'm reallly surprised at what bessielou said as well. I also thought more highly of her than that. But I guess she was prolly just going with the flow of things and maybe just doing it to look cool w/everyone else. Whatever her reason, I wish she would not have done it-it didn't need to be said. Oh well, I s'pose. I really doubt she will care that she is banned from here as I do believe she was not going to come on here very often, if at all, except for that one time to stick up for me. That being said, I will be done with this thread.
You're doing a wonderful job, Ansy, and I'd just like to thank you for doing it!!!

Ansy · Site Admin

Thanks Mollie. I've ben awaiting your reply on this...lol. I thought long and hard before doing it, but I just didn't see anyway around it. If bessie (or anyone) feels this is un-justified, they can always post, PM (or in her case) email me. I am willing to work with anyone, but I agree with you.....I don't think she'll care.

I feel like I've been walking a fine line the last day or two. I'm trying to make decisions that are best for the Furum and I don't want to be viewed as being 'biased' or showing 'favoritism' like happened on TP. I'm really not like that. I hated abnning anyone, I just felt it was needed. Thank you for understanding. I really like you and it is important to me that you feel I am being fair.....and plus......I really don't want to see another eruption of Mt. St. Molliemae....lol (not one aimed at me anyway...lol)

ShadowDog · Puppy Post'er (I'm gonna be one BAD dog someday!)

I'm seriously crying. I can't stand the fights between TP and this furum anymore. With all due respect for everyone here, specially molliemae and smooshie, I don't want to start anything. I think it might be better if I don't join in on this. I'm not trying to be rude, or anything. I'm here because I love animals, I like getting both sides of the story, not just TP's, even if I do feel more comfortable with them. You should at least be given a chance.

Sorry if this post seems rude...I didn't mean it to be. =(

shadow they don't dare attack a child sweetie that is the only reason ypou don't get any grief from them they know better.

MollieMae01 · Moderator

Oh, Shadow. You were anything but mean with that post. You're so young, yet you act more mature than some. I commend you for even posting here. I'm glad you come here to post because you think it is informative and that is great. I also give you credit 'cause it's a rather brave thing to do, be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I would miss you if you stopped coming here, even though you only show up every now and again, lol.
