EnviroLink Forum

It's not whether we're in the same thread, it's the fact he brings my name up in conversation without addressing me or a post, rather just using me for misrepresented examples, throwing up ancient history, mis-quoting me, misunderstanding my posts (as he did yesterday with wijim & the pffft, also with saying you have a tin can for a heart, etc.) Yesterday or the day before animaluvr accused you of being on the fence. How'd you like stuff like that being said all over the board in posts, let alone posts that weren't directed at you to respond to? You'd spend 1/2 your time countering those posts, versus focusing on issues.

And I was responding TO HIM, not talking ABOUT HIM.

He did it to me all the time...way back when. Yes, I got mad....said the same things you are saying here...and then it was pointed out that I was bringing him up all over the place.

I don't think you do it as often as he does, but you two certainly have a little fued going to which I don't think will ever change.

Well see, that's just it. I want it to change.

Well then kiss and make up! Take the initiative. Make light of your differences. Agree to disagree. Be positive and don't take anything too personally.

I've been through a few good "feuds" here myself. My opposer and I plodded though to the end and we always ended up being cordial if not having found some common ground. If I as a Christian meat-eating hunter can do that with a hardcore vegan atheist, you can do it with Donnie.

Donnie, yoo hoo, I wubble you!! cough cough...

Well I did ask you to lighten up but you needn't go that far Grace.

Ok, It looks like this has settled itself, which is good. I am proud of all of you

Just as an aside, I would view trying to tell someone they could not mention anything in their posts that was not by definition offensive in nature a form of censorship and would not support it. I would support anyone ignoring anything they feel is an attempt to bait them into a discussion ..unless they want to have a discussion. If it gets carried away is when the Mods get involved.

I want people to reach the level where folks look after their property with compassion and caring protocol as if it were the most natural thing in the world to be kind to your animals.

Amen to that Donnie! That is the ideal way. Spontaneous care and affection from a compassionate heart. I wonder if there is anyone here who does not agree?

Perhaps we don't agree on the need for law in the meantime but, I think Donnie, you have just defined the common ground the Forum has been seeking. I'm

I think that legislators can not legislate common sense Sandra.

I think that legislators can not legislate common sense Sandra. If we are destined to be in sync with the animals and by nature at odds with them we still can be so compassionately. Most thinking people with an eye for compassion do not want to torture animals but that doesn't mean that we can not kill those we need expediently.

I'd love to see them try, for once! It would be quite humorous to see the Common Sense Act introduced into the US Congress. There would be all sorts of committee hearings, amendments, etc. I'd love to hear the debate against its passage!
