I could care less what anyone thinks though. I spent 26 weeks with my beloved dog fixing his ligament, having the repair break, and taking him to therapy twice a week at the tune of several months' pay. So this nonsense about hurt feelings and respected members is a crock. I have contributed thousands of posts with real merit and experience and have often been the recipient of attacks and disdain...as has jodi. You have a problem, talk to the moderator instead of lynching members like Jodi as if she was a shelter dog approaching the gas chamber. |

You speak your mind and always advocate for dogs. I respect that.
I thought this was a forum that we should feel free to speak openly. I was not trying to be moderator; I was just telling you how I feel.
We are not in a courtroom where we have to discredit someone to make a point. This is forum with real people who have feelings. We all have different views, and it's great that we can share them here.
You may feel this is all a crock, and that's your opinion. I live by a different set of rules. You say you are attacked here, and I guess it happens to everyone. If it's happening often, did you ever stop to think about why?
Everyone makes mistakes, and I can forgive that. Not taking ownership for them and trying to make amends is different, though.
You don't need to listen to anything I am writing. I don't wish to moderate anyone, and I really don't want a response. I rarely speak up, but when I see someone getting hurt, it's difficult to sit back without saying a word. If it were me, I'd want to know if I hurt someone. Sometimes I do it unintentionally, and I'm always glad to find out so that I can talk through things with the person I hurt.
