Why are you thinking the posts are directed to you? Why are you taking it all so personal as to "yell" in caps at me? I definately was not communicating with you at all. I did want to give some support to the OP who I did not think made her first post sound as bad as several took it. But there is a huge difference in thinking it was serious and urging her to find immediate help, and the post that cussed at her with an insulting tone.
When I said to give people credit for their intelligence, I was not insinuating that anyone was not intelligent. I am glad you think you are " very intelligent" but that really was not at issue. I definately do not think that everyone that read her post thought the same thing. I for one thought differently than you did. Several went each way with it. I felt certain in my own mind that had it been that serious of a step on the puppy, she would not be calmly holding it in her lap. But that is because I did give her credit for her intelligence. That is no reason to jump down my throat. I did not even rant at the poster I felt had treated her unreasonably. I even went on to add in another post that everyone meant well even those of "us" that went over the top. I probably would not even have added to the thread but it was a new member being treated very roughly when she casually asked for signs if an injury might turn out to be serious.
And speaking of avoiding drama, I think you could be avoiding it now by not acting like I was directing any comment at you. I still do not understand either of your very defensive posts when no one directed anything at you. Don't put yourself in the firing line when no one else did. That is stirring drama. We can think differently and not have hysterics. Truce! |
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black?? sheesh. No one was YELLING at you. I was emphasizing certain word.. words taken directly from the OPs post as a matter ofd fact. I did NOT take your post personal. I did NOT think it was aimed at me! All I was saying is that MOST of the 20 people who responded read her post the same way or they would not have reacted so strongly. When I post one or two words in a sente3nce with caps, I am emphasizing that word for whatever reason. Chill.... it had nothing to do with YOU. Holy moly!
