My Thoughts...

[cissyann]

I really enjoy reading the posts in this community every morning. I have really learned alot about caring for chihuahuas, things to look for and I also love seeing the super cute pics. I have been a little disturbed by some of the bickering that seems to go on lately.
One of the reasons I have followed this site for so long is that there hasn't

No, not because we can't stand people disagreeing with us, but because gee, its in the damn community rules that if you have a problem...email the mods.

You can read the community rules can't yoou?

Off topic: Are you the one who does the artwork of Chi's?

[sp0ngey]

You are not the only one who feels this way. I have only been a member for a short time and I have tried to participate in many of the posts

Re: do over!

[cissyann]

thanks - your opinion does count.

[cissyann]

thank you - you are very right that it is hard to read the intent behind people's statements on the internet due to lack of body language, voice tone, etc. That is why I was saying I was unsure of the intent, but trying to make people aware of how it sounds. I appreciate your suggestion that we cut each other some slack & agree to disagree.

Seriously, like I responded to kristen, these drama whore posts are not needed...if you have a problem, contact the mods, as per community rules

Agreed times 8 million.

[wizba]

Well I knew you would, you are one of cult!

[rozae]

What does that have to do with anything?

[alisha_stiletto]

This is an interesting post

[midnight_d]

I pretty much agree with you on this.

I wonder if anyone else feels the way I do, in that when I'm a member of a community and it's all happy sappy lovey dovey and nobody ever has an ounce of conflict, it makes me want to slit my wrists.

[alisha_stiletto]

You crack me up girl.

I think people enjoy the more utopian community, where everyone agrees and everyone says things in the most gentlest of ways because we dont want to *hurt* anyone's feelings. And I think part of that is okay (The wanting to be thoughtful of people's feelings) - but I find with the rest, we end up getting caught in the overly pc, wishy washy stuff that is fake.

Life doesnt work like that. Its made up of peace and conflict and I think we perch on the balance in between the two and swing to each side from time to time.

I think for the most part we *are* a good community here. Things are going to happen...

[midnight_d]

Oh I freaking love this community! I love the fact that people say things in no uncertain terms. I love that people aren't affraid to give you "the hard truths". I love that we have conflict and discource. I've been a member of communities where if you say ANYTHING negative you're in trouble. Tell someone not to BYB? BANNED! Shit like that, and it's fucking stupid. I like to look at pictures of people's dogs and say how cute they are, but when it's just that, it makes me want to vom.

That was me who commented about certain people being catty and acting "superior" -- and then I had several people reply to me and tell me that I could leave the community, but frankly, I've learned to ignore it. I just wanted to give to OP a heads up so she wouldnt feel put down.

[midnight_d]

You have a way of posting things making it sound like the things we sway (which may be harsh) are meant to put her down and make her feel like crap, when they're not. You give of a very "Oh pish posh, do whatever you want, it doesn't matter" type attitude, which is pretty sad.

MMM, because if I got all riled up over internet drama, THAT woulddnt be sad?

Give me a break.

I support this community and everybody's knowledge here, I just think they can bring the snotty-ness down a notch or two! =]

[midnight_d]

I think you're interpretting snotty-ness where there isn't any.
