I have not been a participant in the mailing list for very long but it seems as though people are using the list as an out to flame people that are trying to be responsible and take care of their fur kids the best way possible. I have to admit that sometimes I have to scroll through the illness posting due to it upsetting me knowing that the helpless little fur balls are going through so much, but I don't like reading the posts that people are cutting people down for either their choices that they need to make. There may be other circumstances that they don't feel like they should or can divulge and they shouldn't be judged. I just don't agree with people using the mailing list in this manner. Isn't the whole purpose of the mailing list for suggestions on keeping ferts healthy and a place to go for comfort when their fur kid is ill? they funnies that are posted may help someone that needs a smile just to make their day. The only thing that a flame does is make a bad situation worse..... the moral of this, is please think before you respond in a negative manner to someone, you may not have the whole picture of their situation.
