I'll reply the same as in the other forum.
AMEN!

I can't use the other forum, because the mods there are control freaks, and I don't use chat, and I don't care if you are real or fake, or troll, as long as you have something intelligent to say. I do agree that the way some of you carry on is silly, but it is your thing to do and I mostly ignore it. You are mistaken that this forum will have problems. If you look at the rules above, you will right away see why people are here, even if they can use other forums. Fair and open, clean, intelligent discussion are a big draw... This forum will do really well, since it has not handicapped itself with bad mods and stupid rules.

Well said kitty. I have no interest in fighting or getting along with certain members of TP. In fact I have no interest period. I don't need an assumed name to post over there. I only did it the one time to prove a point that it is not ALAWYS jawlaw. I can post there anytime I like I simply just chose not to anylonger. The second banning did not work any longer then the first. There is no point in posting to a forum that is overrun with rude members. Those that are worth talking to have stayed silent and rarely post because they don't want the hassels. The opinions are one sided there and the group that has taken over is spiteful and vindictive. I have no use for it anymore. I go read to see if there is anything worth reading now and if not then so be it. I have absolutly no use for people who would take something like what happend with my dogs and turn it into a big fat joke. They all truely sicken me.

No offence Acey but I have seen and heard this approach once before. And it usually comes back to bite us when we fall for it. So I would just as soon disassociate myself with the whole lot of you. Call me gunshy but can any of you blame me? TP has become worthless for up to date information. I for one would like to focus on THIS forum and the information members here have. Eventually our membership will grow and TP will be a distant memory. I like that idea more and more.

Perhaps soon those few members here on this forum now that are here only to cause problems will get bored and go away.

Apology accepted but as far as I am concerned none of you exist.

As for the sicko that sent Gina the email get a life you must need one badly!

And please no debates with me because I am trying really hard not to blow my stack. I have bit down on my tongue so hard I think I will have scars. Now if you all will excuse me I am going to get back to something more important then this.... MY Dogs!

Hi. I just want to say that I will post wherever I please. I have never been involved and I will never be involoved. I will never use chat because that seems to be where the most (?) of the problem is. In any case, this is simply the internet. I don't know any of you and I never will. I don't care what anyone has to say about me because it doesn't reflect on me in my everday life. I really don't care that there is a feud. I do, however, want to say that if this doesn't stop and all of these silly childish posts keep getting posted than neither of these sites will ever do well. People will come to read, see all of the controversy, and never come back.

I agree with Kittysmom....I never perticipated in any of the crap on TP, not once will u see a response from me over there on any of those bickering threads, yet i was banned! I was banned for no reason whatsoever, I didnt even post the day I was banned. TP is going downhill and will continue to do so as long as "certain" mods are still allowed to pick and choose whoever they want to continue posting on their forum, which i might add isnt even their forum!

Acey I have nothing agianst you, you have always responded to any of my questions on TP with respect, you have always been nice to me. I have no issue with you!

I have issue with the people who think they are Gods over there. They were picked to do a job and they can't even do it right. I've seen them break the rules more times then I have seen trolls break the rules. If for some reason I ever get unbanned from TP I will not visit it! I was always a silent observer over there and everytime I saw what was happening to other people, I couldnt believe what I was witnessing. How can some people still worship these so called mods is beyond me, how can people be so blind to what they are doing? I have seen many many posts there that have been deleted before anyone could read them, this is how I know that they do the things they do! They should be banned!

Agian, Acey I honestly have no problem with you, u have never done anything to me, I just need to vent and this seems to be the post for it! I hope one day you can see what these people are really like. Yes it is just a forum and thats why I will never be over there agian!

Acey--

I've pretty much stayed out of this mess, and you and I have always gotten along just fine, but I wanted to take a minute to thank you for posting an apology on this forum. It's a nice gesture, and we could all learn to make a few more nice gestures.

You're right that the fighting has spun totally out of control. No member of any pet forum should ever receive a threat because of with whom she enjoys discussing her pets. I hope that members of both forums will realize how serious the fighting has become and decide to stop participating so that whoever sent the threat to GinaH will not be under the impression that he or she has any support from whichever forum he or she belongs.

Besides, look at this, Hi Zoe!

Well, I do remember. At my tender age (hee wouldn't you like to know), my memory has not failed me.

Many moons ago, when I was banned you (Acey) participated in a bashing of me (MLS) that I recall went on for about 7 or 8 pages. You indicated I had been mean to you when I actually never had. I remembered I thought saying your Chihuahua or whatever dog you had was cute. After your tirade, I quickly changed my mind.

You jumped on the bandwagon because your precious mods didn't like me or the fact that I did not kiss their ___.

I forgive but I never forget.

As far as I am concerned, I could care less about you being here. Just know this is a DIFFERENT type of forum. Meaning the mods here will not cater to your wims. Pretty much the forum is open for debate and good discourse. Soundly missing from TP. Quite frankly the way M** and C** berated members should make you ashamed to be associated with them They were supposed to set examples in their "leadership". They set examples alright. I used to love the discussions at TP, I learned alot about an animal that I absolutely adore. Someday when I am not lazy I will post all my dogs, the rabbit my lover just brought home yesterday and the beta fish she brought me today.

Enjoy this forum if you have the courage. Ansy is a much more impartial and is not threatened by opinions that different from her own. What a relief!

I agree tyson. 100%

Acey · 9:24 PM, 04/02/05

Tyson, the reason that I got into many arguments with you & participated in that long thread about you was not because one mod or another told me to. It was because I did not get along with you, and I hated the way you got your point across. That's all. But that was in the past & now I wish I'd never participated in any of it. Believe me, I've got my own mind & people who I do not know are not going to control it. If you think the reason I am nice to people on TP is because I'm afraid of getting banned or them not liking me, you're mistaken. Don't get me wrong, I like going there & I've learned a lot there. But if my time were to come where I got banned, I wouldn't stress about it. And about my chihuahua...why would my comments to you change your thinking my dog is cute or not? lol. It's either cute or it's not. I don't care who thinks he's cute, my mom doesn't...she says he looks like a rat. Anyways, I only responded to this because I hate it that people think that I suck up to certain people that I do not know. They're nice to me, I'm nice to them.

Sure didn't seem that way. Would appear to me if you felt so strongly about how I got my point across you would have told me a long time before contributing to a 7 or 8 page thread bashing me especially when I never conversated with you except to tell you the dog's pics were cute. Funny way of showing you have your own mind.

I never stressed about the ban. Didn't know it until I believe Gina or maybe Harley told me. Can't remember which one.

I was amused at how soon after my banning, many others followed. And suddenly, people were shocked. Seems as you didn't have to be as "radical" and "inflammatory" as I was labeled to get banned seems as though all you had to do was express a "different" opinion and voila: ban.

I found that pleasantly amusing. The TP mods have proven me right over and over and over and over again. Long after my ban there is still chaos, confusion, distrust, dishonesty, name calling, rudeness, disrespect and surprisingly from the mods themselves. Who knew?

By the way, Acey, I read TP from time to time..haven't seen you once go in there and tell C* , M* or P* they were wrong about how they speak and treat forum members. Some of those forum members they have disrespected are get this: paid advertisers. I haven't heard a peep from you.

Now who can you blame?

No harm no foul.

Like you always say, hey.."it's just the internet" right?

Pitsanddobes · Post-a-Holic - Give this person a rabies shot!

Tyson You hit the nail on the head!

What I don't understand is why do members who have bashed this forum and it's members all of a sudden want to come here and be members? That just makes no sense to me at all.

I did my part late last night.....on TP and under my real name. It was deleted, but I'm ok with that. At least I did it.

I was wondering what all that meant... I missed it. Doesn't surprise me. Oh well... you tried.
