We all will have disagreements at times, but I have to be able to trust the judgment of the moderators here or else this forum has no backbone
Then I feel for you ansy…if this much trusts is placed in this person. She isn’t the best representation of your backbone. Now …the other ladies are just fine. I have not seen a snotty post or any inflammatory behavior by them…Just this one. Hummm I wonder why that is…???
If you really like this forum and want to stay here, then just steer clear of jawlaw and this should not be a problem. If it continues, and you feel it is unfair, then yes, I want to know about it, but this is the first and only complaint I have had on jawlaw and it happens to be from someone who didn't like her even before this happened. You have to try and look at it from my point of view as well
Why steer clear of any one…that’s not fair. I had no issues with that person until I was again…in chat. And you were there that time Ansy.and I was berated and bashed and you sent me a whisper of sympathy for getting heck for chatting. Or don’t you remember that one. I never had issues with any one. I take each day as it comes. Not a hold over from any other day and who said I didn’t like Jaw law. Because I don’t do well with a bull dog in my face making me defend why I’m here and am I a spy. Or you’re the troublemaker here…I don’t hate any one. Kind of isn’t in my vocabulary. But what I don’t like is injustice. Is P&D the only one who can speak on injustice??? I saw it here before. . And here tonight.it is sad…I never went back and forth on these boards and told stuff I just kept what was here here…So. Why am I singles out?
However, that is not the point, Huron was welcome to come in there with us but not the way she went about it.
I was not welcomed.I said Hello. And then I had a barrage of things flung at me. I could not defend my self fast enough. And then I was banned…simple as that…so. How should I have gone about it? I was nice. I could have not gone there. But why do I have to stay away. It isn’t your private chat arena. I am supposedly welcomed to come and chat. And I NEVER BREAK THE RULES>>>>>I admit saying that your both the biggest troblemakers.but I was called one first and I would have not said any thing unless provoked. I don’t come to chats to go crazy …I can have arguments at home where they mean some thing…so. I would like to know why it was a preconceived notion that I was coming in to cause trouble..? I didn’t get past hello and Hi. .and then the whisper came..and I said. Is that mean for me or p&D…and all heck broke loose…Please some one tell me what I did wrong????
moencat..I saw JAWLAW in the chat box...But I didnt see P&D...but it doesnt make a difference...It isnt there personal playground...I have seen people come and go in there in the flash of an eye...and I started to talk to Collie mom when I was unjustly banned...Im sorry you too have to defend yourself in this issue...I just want everyone to see what REALLY happens on this site..Obviously Ansy needs to look and listen too...I dont start crap..but I dont back down either...I am just stating so all can see what happens to the "Members" It must be the chosen few who are protected and wet nursed...im sorry..but I wont say im wrong..when im not..I apologised one time here when I was rigfht..and should have never swallowed the dung...but I wont do it again..Sorry again Moencat..Your an innocnet bystander...But..you never know..You might be next...
No apology necessary at all...I got myself involved and don't mind defending myself when I think I'm right. I already cleared up what I was wrong about in another post....no worries huron!
~~...I just want everyone to see what REALLY happens on this site..Obviously Ansy needs to look and listen too.~~
I look and listen every single day. Do you ever stop to think about what my PM box looks like when I log in each time? Or my email? This one don't like that one and that one don't like this one. If everyone got their way, half the members here would be banned already. I want to know if there is a problem, but I can't always correct it the way people would like for me to. I cannot make 70+ people all happy at the same time. One of the rules of this forum is to 'defend yourself when necessary'. You don't have to defend yourself every time you come here. You are defending yourself to the person you don't get along with, not to the rest of us. None of us were there, none of us seen it so you don't have to defend yourself to us.
There are going to be times when things go wrong here and people made bad decisions. It's just going to happen, but what matters is how you handle it.
You know, when I banned pitsanddobes, she could have gotten terribly angry with me because she was banned from the forum and it was unjustified. I would have been very angry at me if I were in her shoes that night. When I went into chat, she never said a harsh word to me. She told me what she had to say and we all discussed it and it was over. I made a wrong decision.....I am human.......she politely informed me of the details and I corrected it as best I could. Why can't we all handle it this way?
As a side note, I see you entering a room with jawlaw and pits about like me entering a room with CM and lalayla. I'm not justifying it, but WHY would you go into a room with only the two of them there anyway? Especially knowing it could turn into a he said/she said event? Because thats what has happened.
When problems arise, I try to look for a common denominator. Right now, you are the only complaint I have had on jawlaw.......she is not a common denominator in the problems here. If she were, others would have already said something by now.
Huron, as much as some of us enjoy having you here, maybe this isn't the forum for you. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here, but I don't know of any way to make it right with you.
My suggestion is for the 2 of you to totally ignore each other on the forum and not go into chat when its only jawlaw in there. You wouldn't want to have a conversation with someone you dont like anyway.

Ansy:
I totally agree. Makes sense to me.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Bottom line, Huron knew Jawlaw was in the chat room before she entered. Words were exchanged and she got booted/banned for an hour. She no longer could bicker about the situation and I guess it upset her because she no longer had control. What is there to decipher? If you don't like someone avoid them. Why would she go in the chat if only Jawlaw was there? You know you don't like this person. An issue could arise and it will your word against their's. Why wouldn't you AVOID this?
All the rants and posting although I can appreciate Huron is upset: noone else is. Neither Jawlaw or P&D seem to give a rat' arse about this. Neither one of them seems upset but Huron continues to flame them and neither has really responded as if they care. So that would make twice Huron has been ignored and not taken seriously. Perhaps that is what this is about.
I suspect Huron may have been on the attack and wanted to bicker and Jawlaw wasn't interested and just booted her. The issue is can you be booted if someone doesn't want to hear what you have to say? Inflammatory or not?

To answer your question tyson - no. The first rule listed under the chat rules is:
Chat moderators agree to give everyone equal participation rights in the chat room. This means that personal feelings cannot be a factor in kicking someone from the room.
Now, it comes down to who called who the 'trouble maker' first (which set the other off). There was only one witness there. Since no one else was there, I have to go with what the 'witness' said happened. Regardless of what really happened, in the end, I beleive jawlaw has apologized to huron and we should all just move on. I hope huron can agree to do the same.
You brought up a very good point in your last post. I'm glad to have your brain around. I would have never viewed it that way.

Wo this is not good guys! I don't think anyone should be banned from anything for any amount of time unless it is something serious. Being called trouble makers isn't that bad. Maybe we are being a little sensitive. Being called stupid or saying people have stupidity is the same thing. Technically that is name calling too. Maybe some of the moderators need to put their own emotions on the side and look at it from a neutral stand point. I have been a moderator on different boards and this is the way i was told to do it. A moderator in a sense is a form of authority and you can not be so emotional. You can't just get mad and a ban someone. Its not right.
ETA: I dont think anyone has the right to boot anyone out (ban them) from chat just because they don't want to talk about a certain situation. Is that in the rules??? So if you don't like what someone is saying you can just boot them out??? Sounds familiar to another site i go to........
Can we drop this you guys...Everyone has explained themselves and I dont think there is anything else for people to say...this is turning into one of those never ending threads. Lets just move on. Emotions have been running high lately and this post is just adding to it. Jaw is a mod and mods make mistakes too, im not saying she did anything wrong or for that matter right(I wasnt there), but she has explained herself, Huron has explained how she feels and so has everyone else. I just want to see this forum talking about pets agian.
I love everyone here and I wish we could all just get along.

The issue here is:
At this site we welcome new members and they are innocent until they show otherwise. I cannot apologize for welcoming new members. At other sites if you are new you are blasted. At TP they are obsessed with Pits and accuse everyone of being Pits. The site has frightened away new members because of their hostility. The mods have admitted to participating in the b** hunt.
Ansy doesn't do that. I think it is extremely fair what Ansy does. Until you act up...everything is kewl. Gina and her friends as well as Huron post at TP. They wanted to come over here and bicker and moan and cause drama. When no one responds they go back to TP and say they dont like it over here. They get the pats on the backs, the confidence boosting high fives and they feel better because at TP if everyone hates you...you must be bad, right?
Luckily, that is not the aura/ambience of this forum.
I think it is good that when people say they want to be removed Ansy removes them and we move forward. I think the real troublemakers have repeatedly shown their true intentions. I think they have tried to make this place as chaotic and disenchanting as TP. It won't work and it hasn't.
Tyson- i totally understrand what you are saying about TP. I post there as well as here. I know what you are saying about the other place BUT i am just dont want this fourm to end up like that one. I like huron and have never had any bad words with her. I am just wondering what boundaries there are for moderators??? Why can they ban someone from chat just because they dont want to have a certain conversation? I am not trying to fight i just want to understand. Knowledge is power my friend lol . Ok i think i am done with this issue....unless of course i feel the need to reply LOL
Okay, I have to say this. I have been to chat a couple times, only the other day did I notice you could see who was in there. If you are not paying attention, it can be easily overlooked.
Also, I am more just curious to know if there was "unacceptable behaviour" (which is the only reason I believe a banning should occur) was there a warning given first prior to the banning? I believe that here on the board as well as in chat there should be a warning given to stop the "unacceptable behaviour" prior to banning. It would save alot of trouble as well as give a valid reason for the mod to say "well, I warned her first". and then there is no excuse.
I have been banned from a chat room before over doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and so I honestly can relate to Huron.
Just one more thing, HONESTLY, Is the worst thing any of you have been called is a troublemaker? And is that grounds for banning just because someone didn't "feel" like dealing with it? I am sorry, I just thought that was a petty reason for banning. Not much allowance for opinion. JMO
Not aiming this at anyone, I just copied it from someone's post on the Lab board, it is meant to be funny: Everyone has the right to be stupid, but some people just abuse the privilege
Why would a person come into a chat with the only two other people in there being two she does not like and say things like" I believe you did do it and you are two of the biggest trouble makers and I came in her because I can, if not to pick a fight? And for the record Jawlkaw did tel her to knock it off and she said "I don't have to" thats when she got bumped from chat. To me it is no different then getting edited in the forum posts chat banning is temporary. And, since we are expressing opinions here, after the flaming post she made about me early this morning I find it hard to believe she is not here to cause trouble.

I dont think she is here to cause trouble. She doesn't pick fights in every post or anything! I have actually gotten really good advice and nice words from her. I think people need to be less sensitive ESPECIALLY members that are known for "not so nice words" and "fight picking" We all do it, i know, but none of us like it when it is done to us. Now do we?!!??!!?!
I agree Erica non of us are total angels every day but honestly this has turned into a huge deal over a little thing and has escalated into a bash fest of me and Jawlaw. Jawlaw gave her reason and it was obviously justified. Just like every time proto edits she gives her reason and it is always justified. I have not seen any of the moderators here be unfair or show favoritisim.

I dont think it is a bash fest. I personally am just stating what i see. People shouldn't be banned like that. Its not right. I would think you of all people would understand that.
Huron, as much as some of us enjoy having you here, maybe this isn't the forum for you. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here, but I don't know of any way to make it right with you.
I don’t need some one to make it right. It is done, I just wanted the entire membership to see what happens if they take an opposing opinion and then try to “talk nice” in a chat room with ANY ONE.
My suggestion is for the 2 of you to totally ignore each other on the forum and not go into chat when its only jawlaw in there. You wouldn't want to have a conversation with someone you dont like anyway.
I should not have to stay clear of any portion on this site in order to not make some one angry. Our exchange was not fueled by me .as I keep saying. I said hello. And the gloves were off. Im not a fast or good typist. And I typed several things to say to both people. Like how’s it going…slow night huh…stuff like that. But it all began and I backspaced out of it. I could not keep up with the 2 attacking me..Sure..It might have been wise to stay out. But am I not just as welcomed into your chat room as your forum>?? Please Ansy..Would you address that…I didn’t start any thing. I had to defend my very being on this site…does every other member have to do that..And if so. It is a shame…
And also Ansy..As for the amount of mail and private messages you get. It isn’t any ones fault or business but your own,. Comes with the territory if you ask me…I’m sorry I even TRIED to converse about this subject to you. Your mind is made up and I personally think it is biased. But that’s my opinion…doesn’t mean that I think any one is a bad person or want to snub any one. And not speaking to some one when you see them is a Snub. I was bought up that way. To show respect and at least acknowledge a persons existence. That person should have remained silent if they didn’t want to converse with me..P&D said HI…until the whisper came from Jawlaw…she was being just fine..And I would have talked to her or any one..very nice and respectfully. but I wasn’t allowed the chance. You will never see the point. And I think it is very sorry…But..I have expressed mine. So I am done with it..but if it continues to be commented on. I will continue to tell my side..
I suspect Huron may have been on the attack and wanted to bicker and Jawlaw wasn't interested and just booted her. The issue is can you be booted if someone doesn't want to hear what you have to say? Inflammatory or not?
I think it is sorry that Tyson commented that I was on the attack when they were not there.. I am not angry with any one…And I just want my point of view to be known…I did nothing…And I was attacked. I NEVER want to bicker…I’m not the bickering type…I save my bickering if I must to my home life where it gets a end result…not on the internet…But I don’t like feeling of less value then any of the other members just because I DO go to TP..And I do have an opinion…You did ask a good question Tyson. And I appreciate it. The answer from Ansy was no. But I am here to attest that it does happen..I cannot express enough I came to chat with no preconceived notion of trouble. Maybe that was naive of me. But I didn’t think it would get ugly…But. I didn’t start any thing. I did post this message for all the right reasons.
Gina and her friends as well as Huron post at TP. They wanted to come over here and bicker and moan and cause drama. When no one responds they go back to TP and say they dont like it over here.
Why am I lumped with those who trade information with TP>>>I have not..and please feel free to post it here if you feel I did…I have kept these two places separate..as in my opinion they are..even now…can you see a post about this there? NO because it is separate..i am bickering as you call it for unfair treatment..Shouldn’t everyone of the members know about it?
Why would a person come into a chat with the only two other people in there being two she does not like and say things like" I believe you did do it and you are two of the biggest trouble makers and I came in her because I can, if not to pick a fight? And for the record Jawlkaw did tel her to knock it off and she said "I don't have to" thats when she got bumped from chat. To me it is no different then getting edited in the forum posts chat banning is temporary. And, since we are expressing opinions here, after the flaming post she made about me early this morning I find it hard to believe she is not here to cause trouble.
I said I can come to this chat and what is the matter with that..I have internet service..i pay my bill…so I can…I don’t think that is tis fair to have the notion I was causeing trouble coming to a OPEN CHAT ROOM…when the moderator was the attacker and her witness…(that’s a crock) is P&D…who is hot from all flame she has been on lately..She would have been ok..I do believe..but I was not afforded the respect that I extended..I was going to a place people go on and off of all the time..I would have loved to talk to colliee mom..but I was booted..Sure this has gone on long enough..but when some one posts I am allowed a answer to it..or is that privlage only extended to some…I don’t want to name names here…but I think any one would be able to fill in the blanks..I am unfairly targeted because I go to TP..and have opinions there..and come here..and have opinions here..now..they are the same opinions..im not changing sides like some are..I am upfront and honest and try to post as delacatly as possible..But..This has struck a cord with me..I do not go to TP and say what is said here…Simple as that..No. I was not warned in chat..I only got like 3 sentences out..and was banned..so how can I be warned for what I had to say…
