Wow i only missed 1 day of reading the forums and i feel like i
missed a year!!!!! I think we need to be more supportive in some
things. Just my opinion. What about people visiting this site? Do
you think they will want to come back?! Sorry if i make anyone mad
but i think we should offer support not criticism.

I agree on the support thing also. I've said it in the past and ill repeat it again now, we are all in this cf fight together, and we all need each other. Just like in the animal kingdow there will always be one who thinks they should be superior and can not seem to take a long hard look at themselves and realize they arent as big as they think. But with age comes wisdom and maybe they will learn as time goes on, if they have nothing nice to say, then say nothing. I hope everyone can get along today, and remember we are all here for a reason other than to argue .
P.s. Your little Zoey is just ADORABLE !!

I think everyone makes posts they wish they could take back and usually you don't realize it until you get a response from someone that took it the wrong way. That's the problem with the written word, it is often up to interpretation.

I also think that sometimes people's opinions are taken as criticisms then people get defensive and things spiral out of control.

Things calm down eventually.

I agree with claudette, posting on a forum as opposed to having a phone or in person conversation leaves a lot to be desired because you simply can't 'hear' or 'see' in addition to the communication. A lot of things are posted with good intentions, only to be misread or taken the wrong way. Of course, there are the times when it's read just as it is... and I'll be the first to admit I've posted things that I've later regretted or that I was thinking in my head one way but they came out another way. An aplogy is the best remedy for that one and I've made my fair share on this forum....

The thing is, this board goes like this in cycles. It's like a family. We have a huge disagreement, hopefully no name calling goes on (this fight has been the most civil I've seen in years on this board <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">) but feelings do get hurt, and unnecessairly so. Then it's kind of forgotten about until the next time we have an arguement. Doesn't make it right, but it sure does happen and I don't think any amount of pleading for it to stop will work.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just share my experience of my few years on this forum. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

*sigh*  People are going to disagree, bottom line.  Not
everyone thinks the same way, and that's just the way it is.
 I do think its awfully funny how people with opinions that
might not be 'happpy-go-lucky' are attacked for the way they see
things, and get ridiculed as being 'negative' and not supportive.
 It seems that if you have anything besides warm fuzzy
feelings to share, your opinion doesn't matter and you're
automatically 'flaming' the other person, when in reality it's more
often than not the people who disagree that are the ones getting
blasted.<br>
<br>
If we're talking about being supportive and being 'fair', it really
doesn't seem that way to me...let's try to look at things from the
other side of the spectrum, then, shall we?

hahhaa. Me and some of the other "oldies" were just tlaking about that last night, how a lot of newer people were saying there was so much attacking, and we all thought it was civil, heated, but civil. Nothing I wouldn't say to someone's face. If you want to see attacks, find some of the old fights. Vintage attacking. haha. Sorry, just found that funny that we who have been here a while are so used to it.

Why is it that someone always has to come on and say "wow, we should all get along." ?? It's just sort of funny that someone always does this.
