IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY...THEN DON'T SAY IT.

PEOPLE.....Please learn how to speak to 1 another and if you're not going to say something nice then don't write on the the forum. This is not a place to humiliate or degrade anyone. This is a place where we can come to each other ask each other for advice and to lean back on 1 another. Obviously because we might feel comfortable with the people on here and speaking to some of you who have gone through what were going through might be helpful. STOP THE NEGATIVITY...

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!!

GOD IS LOVE<3<3<3<3 PEACE

But, but.. I wasnt done playing yet!

Show you a few things about love

Yes Pdx I saw that the first time..

I know you enjoy the lace panties :P

Oh and Pdx I like the "no no no Kitty" too :)

I tend to read things very literally over the threads unless there is some kind of huge red flag that it is sarcasm and that has caused some issues for me here. IMO, sarcasm doesn't translate well in this setting and should be avoided but thats just me and I have my own biases. Sometimes I do question people though because I'm not really here to hold hands and tell someone everything is going to be OK when they are really making every huge mistake in the book. I don't think validating people like that is really a good move, but after much headbutting I have learned to just pass those threads over. I'd rather give it zero attention then say something that blows it up to 12 pages of back and forth nastiness.

I think more and more I am finding myself saving my time for people asking real questions on legitimate topics not "omgeee I hate 4 cheeseburgers tell me everything is fine" (not that it happens like that but you get my point)

Good for you. Have a nice day!

PDX is one of the best users on this site, consider yourself lucky.

Stating for people to keep negativity to themselves is irrelevant when this is a public forum..we have weight issues that aren't to be candy coated in my opinion .. I say any information from the vets harsh or not should be appreciated.. Unless its considered down right mean or hateful. that of which I have yet to see but bringing up negativity in such a way leaves it wide open for all to speak on .. So, happy happy happy all~~~~

I can say I my very first post on here was responded by someone very aggressive and mean. She called me a liar about having my surgery and that no dr would do my revision in same surgery as removing my band and that they couldn't have nicked my spleen because it isn't near my stomach (to sum it up). She then started a new thread with the caption I call BS on this and a link to my story. I even posted operative pictures to prove I wasn't telling a lie. I couldn't believe her response to my story and it made my first experience here upsetting but to be fair she did apologize later. Just unnecessary for someone to deal with that while trying to heal and deal with the emotional changes after surgery. I have also had some very kind people since then so just like anything take it for what it's worth and move on.
