It is my understanding, per YT rules, that each member is allowed to post their personal experiences. Umm what does Dr. Phil have to do with the issue?

TO THE OP.... I am sorry for my part in taking your thread iff-topic. I sincerely hope that you got the reassurance you needed to proceed with the spay.
What are you talking about?????

Do you know the definition of anecdotal? Here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence

From the above link:

"Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes, i.e., evidence collected in a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony. When compared to other types of evidence, anecdotal evidence is generally regarded as limited in value due to a number of potential weaknesses, but may be considered within the scope of scientific method as some anecdotal evidence can be both empirical and verifiable, e.g. in the use of case studies in medicine. Other anecdotal evidence, however, does not qualify as scientific evidence, because its nature prevents it from being investigated by the scientific method."



We were talking about changes in personality and yes, that is your experience....but it is still not scientific, but anecdotal is ALL I was saying.
I never said that your opinion should not be posted.
I just was saying it is not scientific .. that is ALL.
