When I first joined YT I was very intimidated of a few people and was so reluctant to post anything. I thought some of the comments seemed a bit harsh. I now realize that those people have become some of my closest friends on YT because they ultimately care intensely for and love their pets. I was confused by megansmomma's intentions at first  , would never debate barney107 if my life depended on it and LadyJane still scares me at times. These people are some of the greatest assets on YT and sometimes it takes a little time to see that.

Megansmomma scared the heck out of me early on. Now I look forward to her posts. Cathy is well trained in debate and lays things out in a very logical way. As for LadyJane, I love, love, love the way her compassion for the dogs is always first and foremost. She speaks for those who don't have a voice.

It's all about interpretation. What one person decides is bullying or mean, the next person finds straight foward and to the point. Personally, I've come to the conclusion that when I post it's not about me but about the dogs. If my feelings get hurt it's only because I allowed them to.
As far as I am concerned, the only one who has the right to tell someone else they are being rude or bullying here is the admin and his designees.
