I believe you posted with good intentions. :) As was said, different people will perceive the same message differently. I am sure that many people read your posts on this thread and felt uplifted. Happy Holidays to all (and I mean that in a nice way, not a preachy way. ;p)

Ann posted a VERY nice request and the discussion has, yet again, turned for the worse.

Why can't everybody be CIVIL and KIND to one another?

I came to this board to LEARN...NOT to deal with DRAMA. I NEVER thought that I would have to deal with it here from a group of supposedly mature and professional dog owners...who apparently treat their babies better than they do their fellow human beings.

If you can't say something nice, keep your typing fingers to yourself and KEEP THE PEACE.

I can now see why many have left this board. Who wants to deal with all of this negativity, backbiting, and sniping on a daily basis?

Also, why should anybody have to apologize for saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?!?!?!?! It IS Christmas! It is ALSO the season for Hannukah, Kwanzaa, etc! EVERYONE should be able to have the freedom to say "Happy 'Whatever'". This IS America, remember. If someone doesn't celebrate Christmas, then let them post about the holidays they DO celebrate.

My two cents, and I do not apologize for how I feel.

I would hope that things will improve between everyone, but this issue has apparently been going on for a long time, so I am not holding my breath. People do not readily change.:thumbdown

IF...and it is a BIG IF....I stay, it will be just to read, also. Pretty sad when you can't express yourself without fear. Bullying, completely, if you ask me.

Pretty sad that you're a new member who has already had your head filled with lies about YT. You should report whoever told you theses untruths. YT is a great place, there is no better forum anywhere. Some even implode from within, but not YT.

As for your lecture, I'll file it with the others.

See?!?!?! This is exactly what I am talking about! This prevailing attitude must go. It wasn't a "lecture". It was how I, as a human being, feel about how others treat others.

And, just to make it absolutely clear, nobody had to fill my head with lies about anything and nobody did. I have based my observaations on what others have posted publicly for ALL to see.

Sigh....very tired already, this morning....

Your right and I am sitting here in tears. I have been pushed all day even some was deleted bashing me for posted to try to have some compassion here at Christmas. I started this for the right reasons. I know it but they keep stiring. Maybe instead of compassion I will do to others as they do to me..

The good feeling I had this morning posting this has been ruined. I just can't believe people can take something nice a twist it.. Sad but they won't bring me down. I am just so upset with this.

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Well I thought your post was a lecture, and I wrote what I did because, it was how I, as a human being, feel about how you were treating others. (I'm borrowing your words). I thought it was a lecture, and in fact, it was bullying. And as for your observations, I think it is really remarkable you were able to only garner negativity about YT in your very short time here. Great observations, you must be a "glass is half empty" person rather than a "glass is half full" person. This forum is very positive and friendly and there is no reason why even you can't enjoy it.
