I am brand new at this and have never posted. This thread kind of scared me. Are you always so severely scolded and embarrassed if you over react, panic and break board etiquette? I feel like, but for a few weeks, as I will soon try to hatch my first eggs, that could have been me. I'm sure I will have many questions that seem foolish now to those who are long past the "beginner" stage. Maybe a private handslap and then a reminder to all of a rule that needs to be refreshed in everyone's mind might be nice.

I pour over every category of this forum trying to learn and it is so helpful. I just don't want to make a mistake.

Is this post my first??? Can I remain anonymous? (smiling)

Yep, I thought the point got across, then got across again, then got across again, and well you get my point. Don't think anything ill was ment from Original poster or mods and others who made the same point though it kinda came on strong on both ends. Sorry for your loss and thanks to all that are there to help out those that need help which is pretty much all of you (that give help). I know I've gotten some advice from time to time and am thankful and grateful that folks take the time to share thier experience and knowledge. So we don't say it often enough but thanks much. Keystonepaul.

I remember being new, and having a situation that seemed urgent to me. Many people patiently answered my posting, for which I was very grateful.

But there have been other posts where the newbies are urged to use the search function, since the same problems get posted and answered over and over. I couldn't navigate the search function when I first started here. It took time that I didn't have as a newbie with a problem.

There are many personalities here, some have oodles of patience, and some aren't quite as inclined.

But we are a great community. Don't be afraid to hang out here. Read and post on the social threads, too, so people will know you. This is a give and take place, not just a take place. That is probably what stirs up emotions, when a newbie arrives and shouts TAKE CARE OF ME NOW.

Read as much as you can when things are going well so when your own problem comes up, you will already know the answer, or will be more adept at finding it. Then, if you still need help, don't be worried about posting your problem. The patient BYC people will be here for you.

and I mean it!

edited to say, sorry to have hijacked this thread away from the OP. See, I know the rules, and I still broke one!

I think it needed to be said. Im not worried because I have talked to many and 99 percent of the people on here are the nicest people I have never met! Don't let this scare you. After all there are a few bad Eggs out there.

Man that was a good pun. But on a better subject I just discovered that my last egg just tapped into its air cell I noticed this as I was throwing it away. So hes back in the bator its day 30!

It is absolutely against BYC rules to post personal information, such as a phone number.

Sorry for the DP but I just wanted to say that I never posted my number I sent it to two mods, which was the wrong choice but its my personal phone number, and I never posted it. Just saying.

Sorry about your baby - I have one like that right now - he's hanging in there and it is slowly reabsorbing, but only time will tell. It feels awful I know.

As far as the other comments all I can say is

I know because it just sitting there looking like its in pain. And there's nothing you can do. And especialy when mine died I was convinced I did something wrong I should have done something.

Oh and mine still has not piped yet. Day 31 but hes moving.

VERY WELL SAID, Mini!!!
Oh..Am I shouting...so sorrrrrry.
Never should a "human" being be so humiliated.
This may not be a "forum" rule but its a much "Higher" rule.
"Private messages need a "PRIVATE" response, ...if any.
Dee has more love for her "animals" then some do for "humans".
I LOVE this forum and the "friendly" people in it but this makes me totally miserable!
New """rule"""" suggestion for those who need it: NEVER publicly berate a human being. They are not animals.
I feel better now....thnxs....
Is this post my last??? Can I remain anonymous? (smiling)

I am so sorry for your loss. I think that I would have acted the same. I turn to anyone who I think may have the answer. For example I PMed a mod today (I won't say her/his name since I haven't asked) and she was a GREAT help in trying to help my chick with a slipped tendon. I do believe the situation could have been better handled by the moderators. And CERTAINLY a "new egg" shouldn't be called out for making a "mistake" This is not encouraging you to trust the members of the forum. And you NEVER posted your number (good job) I believe that PRIVATE messages shouldn't be mentioned on a thread unless both the sender and reciever agree to it. Also, you never really got help, maybe because the thread got stolen by those preaching about you giving out a number you said in the first line you said you wouldn't give....

Once again sorry for your loss.
