Nothing wrong with preaching, teaching, self-righteousness, passion, scolding and compelling emotions as long as our words remain civil, not mean-spirited or intended to wound, as I see it, Nancy. Preach on. I'm fine with being called a preacher, teacher or an animal-loving nag, as long as people don't think I'm intentionally gruff and ugly or out to bully or oppress them. Most of us likely think we are right in the points we're making but why be spiteful and nasty about it is, I think, what Ann, you and others of us are saying. Ann started this thread to ask us to be more positive and kinder in our posts, not less preachy/teachy or passionate.
The main point many of us are making here is to try to encourage others to be a little kinder and gentler in sharing our content while not losing our passion or feeling inhibited in our posts due to P.C.-ism or fear of getting suspended or banned for sharing our opinions, advice or information within the rules of the forum. |
Jeanie, I have a question for you. Do you think you are the only person who posts correctly here? Or perhaps one of a few?
You keep saying things that make me think so. My impression when this thread was started by Ann was that it was a general thing and everyone should be as kind as possible. I thought there was room for everyone to change....not just a select few. This very topic/thread was just brought up again the other day by a member who felt she was treated poorly yet she was not going to be happy with me and others because she felt it was ok for a vet to break the law and give 1/2 rabies vaccines. It is NOT ok and I was very forceful about saying so after she kept insisting it was. And another one who complained recently on this thread was complaining about me...obviously it was HIM because his post was removed. I am quite fatigued by all of this. I swear you all don't appreciate anyone's experience at all and want to be alone here. We can arrange that .. but I don't think that is goal.
I don't understand how you keep pointing your fingers at others. I don't think any of us are bullying just because we don't post like you or whoever else you think we should model after.
