What happened here?

I totally agree!! there is a place for the dramas and it isnt here. This is a lovely place to visit and discuss our chickens
I hope the new people here arent feeling worried about posting, pls ask anything, theres only a few people here that are not scared to speak their mind, but the rest of us will be very gentle!!!!promise.

 

Heh, a thread like this pops up in cycles. I'd say the period is around one month or so. Such is the nature of internet forums.

 

I suppose I might as well chime in while this thread still remains open.
You have expressed how you feel and are upset, so the timer is ticking on this thread.
Personally, anonymity has nothing to do with expressing myself,
I am who I am, in person or here on the internet; if I have a point of view, it is my hope that people can respect that and if they have an opposeing point of view, then I am not offended if they express it.
Recently there was a small debate about chicken emotions, in that discussion elderoo was of a different point of view then myself, however, I respect that and do not let it deture me from the debate.
In the end of that post, I don't beleive that anyone was upset, and peoples views were heard.

Personally, I am more offended by having a thread closed just because opposeing points of view are expressed.

There are ways to keep a Debate or Discussion under control, and there are ways to inflame them.
I can't say more without assureing that this thread gets locked, so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for letting me butt in

 

I would have to say that I usually stay out of things. The reason I think a lot of threads have been closeds is not necessarily due to opposing view points, but rather a few individuals who take it personally and escalate the issue to flaming others rather than taking it to the other person via email.

 

Tempers flare from time to time in any forum. Such is human nature. But this remains one of the friendliest forums I've been on. People have to remember that on the net one doesn't get much body language, and smileys don't really cut it. Because of that, one can't take stuff personally. My skin has thickened since I started frequenting forums, for the better I think.

I'm sorry some posts have driven you away. I hope it's not permanent! Tempers flare, but they also cool. I think things will get better.

If you look at it this way...
The kids are back in school so some of the moms and dads that have had the summer off are working again.
The Holidays are coming up and prices are going through the roof on things.
Gas is $3 a Gallon
Milk is almost $5 a Gallon
Our paychecks are the only things that are NOT going up...
Sometimes us oldsters just need to vent to an anonymous ear.
I will admit that sometimes folks can take things the wrong way. that's because we can't see each other face to face or read the body language.

Take heart that these things DO blow over and things get back to "normal"
You have to be adult enough to think before you type especially since there ARE kids that come on here and not say anything that you wouldn't say to your 90 year old grandmother.
