I just wanted to clarify that I do not post - or allow posting of - TP issues because I'm trying to turn the world against TP. The reason is because I want others to see why some of us have been so upset and to give those who are affected a place to discuss what is going on. My theory is that TerrificPets is a great site/forum which is tarnished by a few of its members. I learned a lot from TerrificPets when I was there, and I'm still thankful for that.
I don't expect (or want) any of you to 'change your mind' about TP or quit talking to people you like there. I think being a member of both forums is a great way to continue to talk to those you enjoy at TP and still visit with those of us who are no longer a member there.
I do not mind if comments/emails/quotes are taken from here and posted on TP as long as it isn't breaking their rules. I'm hoping that the locking of The Furum will slow things down a little. Yes, information will still get there - and thats ok - but none of them can now read every single thing thats said here and I don't know of any 'messenger' (if there are any) that would spend their entire day copying/pasting this whole forum to someone. So, they are getting tid-bits at most. After a week has passed I will unlock the Furum and will see how things go.
I also want to say that I know I am not a Saint in all of this. I did what I had to do - to get my point (and the truth) across. It wasn't right, but I felt strongly enough about it that I went by my old saying "Sometimes you gotta do wrong, in order to be right". I do not want anyone to stop liking someone from TP because of what she said in chat - thats not my intentions. I just wanted you to see why I have been so upset by all of this. What happens between you and someone from TP is your business, your relationship - and I will not mis-treat you for continuing it. I'm sure someone from TP is a great person to some of you, but she isn't to me, so please understand that its ok for you to like her and its also ok for me not to.
If any of you want to post about what a great person someone from TP has been to you......and how many times she has helped you.......by all means, do so. I have no problem with that and I wont ban you. You have the right to post that here, and still be able to feel welcomed.

it is nice to clear the air ansy...I think some who are not direstly involved or who dont clearly understand what the heck is going on...my self included feel better hearing you say that...I have no problems with any one any where...and hope that never changes...i really do hate conflict...but at times we all cant get away from it...it follows us...My husbands favorite saying is "you have to do what you have to do" and it applies to most things...I feel better hearing that we (not just I) can feel free to make positive comments on people from TP...Some people will always have a hand in stiring the pot...they like crap brewing all the time...but...some times people need to be recognised by the "right " things that they do...
I really do agree with you Huron I just have a hard time not speaking out. I spent alot of years in my life never speaking up to defend myself or speaking out on what I really felt was right. I have a huge problem with injustice. But what I hate more then anything else is back biting. I made a great many friends on TP but I also met people who were your friend to your face and then horrible to you behind your back. I tend to let it fly when I am crossed. I can be a good friend and wil bend over backwards to help someone but just treat me the same. I make for a loyal friend but a ruthless enemy. I don't like to see people picked on or ganged up on. I feel like it is a dog eat dog world and I am NOT willing to wear milkbone underware!

When I see "TP" I can only think of toilet paper. I am missing something eerily good, I see. I'm glad you clarified your stance, even thought I don't know what it means. At least now, I won't have to bite you. By the way, love the site. I'll have pics of my Rotts soon.

Grim is right. I say tp is only toilet paper, hence my disinterest in the bashing posts. I give tp no notice. Ansy, to clarify...tp was a lovely thing, then they changed the mods and rules and it was nasty. We do it right here.
