BUT if you come to them in a calm manner, they are more perceptive to whats being said and will probably understand whats being said. humans are just the same.

i certainly do NOT think i am a hypocrite for calling ANYONE mean. i call them how i see them. i suppose if your one of the nice people, maybe the word "MEANIE" wouldn't bother you so much. let me rephrase myself. IS ANYONE ELSE SICK AND TIRED OF MEMBERS ON YT WHO DON'T SAY NICE THINGS. i bet you still would have come on here with the same argument.

I don't think that she was rude or mean either. (Then again, I'm not so easily offended.) I never said that she was. On the contrary, I said I actually understood where she was coming from. She read something she felt strongly about and responded in a strong manner--the SAME thing that others are being called "mean" and criticized for. So really, we're not all so different, eh? She said that she agreed with some of my points, not with others. I feel the same way.

In addition, I thought she made a very good point. Would you get a free pass to push someone out of a wheelchair, just because you donate 1000s to charity? (Of course, my first question would be, what did the guy in the wheelchair do?) It's funny....100s of positive posts are not enough to justify someone as a "good person," yet a handful of negative ones are enough to condemn them. How's that for logic?

I'm not going to say that "rude" or "mean" comments don't cause for negative vibes on YT...but so do threads like where everyone has a whine-fest and calls names. So yes, IMO, that is like the pot calling the kettle black. Thing is, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I'm certainly guilty of venting about things and blowing off steam, who isn't? But if you express an opinion, you can count on someone else viewing it the opposite way. Doesn't make anyone "right", just different. In the end, it won't matter. Like previously mentioned, this topic has been discussed 564254 times before. In the end, either people will learn to deal with it, or they'll let it upset them. A few years from now, you'll most likely either 1) not even be here anymore, or 2) have a completely different understanding of opposing points of view.

What you call side swiped, someone else might calling out the BS. Again, it's a matter of perspective. Meanie/Whiny = perception.

Again, if you read something in a post you originated and you don't like the response, just gloss over it. Your blood pressure will thank you for it and you'll live longer.

But when you come on a public forum and you ask for advice/opinions, be prepared to get them. No one is immune to having their posts taken the wrong way or being perceived as mean/rude etc. And if the advice given doesn't apply to or fit your particular situation, move on. But it just might help the next person or make someone think before doing something.

As for the shirt colors: Does that come in pink?

I have read this thread and have to admit that everyone is right!

(I am Switzerland.....and am remaining neutral, and thats that! )

I haven't asked any opinions. I'm just saying what I've read. Sorry

I think she was making a general comment, not observations intended solely for you and you alone.

another thing also if your so tired of threads like these, then why comment at all?

I haven't responded to any of your previous thread/posts because I felt YOU were rude to me on your very first day of YT when I offered advice~up until today when I saw this thread~tell you the truth I hadn't bothered to open another not sure why I did today Yes sweetie you were VERY RUDE to me..........but I sure didn't start a thread about the newbie with the attitude. Nope~its a forum and we all have an opinion and mine was decided back in July.

BTW~I am one of those people that have been a shoulder to turn to when one is needed. I've offered tons of private advice both in PM and by phone. I'm a strong supporter of rescue and I'm there when others need someone for help. It is when all the positive members offer advice and their experience that make YT a great learning place. It's too bad that it is not better appreciated.

Oh ok, I just thought it was intended for me since my post was quoted. I'm still learning. I don't get on enough to be able to see the whole picture. I'm sorry again.

[Rhetts_mama]

Yes, I meant the general "you".
