this is a public message board. no one
knows what unintelligable posts you may make in the future, so we cannot respond to them until you make them.
this leaves you 3 choices.
1. do research & be sure of your facts before you post.
2. post at your own risk
3. don't post at all  |

I have a question Sue, I dont know if you are aware that the poster is 15. We have the means to set a good example for this person so this person learns from us and doesnt become like all the other jack butts in the world.
With a kid, I dont mind the misinformed or the odd post because it gives us all a chance to help the poster learn from good people and put her/him in the right direction. If this forum is only for the know it alls then I dont imagine it would be to interesting would it?
I know your out of patience with the world, understandably so |

I am not going to say something mean to you,for I am younger then you.I remember that the first time I posted I was yelled at myself.Many people called me a  .To me you didn`t do anything wrong.
Maybe to can reseach about the thing you are talking about,if you feel this way.
Good Luck! |

It was the way you spoke was the reason, we have many people that come with broken writting that are trying to do nothing more than stir up trouble, but now that the other members see that you are sincere then I dont think there will be much of an issue.
The forum can get a little hostile to newbies sometimes and thats probably its greatest downfall. We all think we know allot but sometimes have to remeber we dont know it all and had to learn what we do know now, and had people to direct us and bite our heads off when needed. Its not an easy cycle but one worth going through. |

ND my concern is the animals, & when people go on a board & post poor info, there are those who will believe it regardless of how bad it may be. keep in mind, there are many who just lurk.
I gave her excellent advice on how to use ANY message board & I don't give a rat's patoot if she's 15 or 50.
you people will not teach her anything by coddling her.
she can boohoo all she wants - doesn't resolve her problem

but correcting her advice would be more of a productive thing to do and tell her why shes wrong, and maybe give her a clue of what the proper thing is to do. |

I really feel that a lot of the problem is not what we say but the way we say it. I just had to post a formal apology to Moggie due to the fact that I activated my keyboard before activating my brain. I had a bad day and I took it out on an innocent victim.
I have seen the same thing happen with the youngun's and newbies that come in here. You cannot teach with criticism it makes the receiver less than open to new ideas and learning.
And keep in mind that we all had to start somewhere and if our young ones want to learn then we need to teach them with kindness and a understanding that the world has not made them cynical yet.
They are our hope for the future and yes it does matter whether they are 15 or 50. At 15 we really believe that the world can be fixed with an open heart and a willingness to do the right thing.
It is up to us to teach them the logistics that they will be hindered by in their search to do the right thing.
Hopefully we can lead by example and maybe just maybe one of our youth will grow up and make a positive difference.

Sue, in the time I have been here has corrected and has given tons of great advice. I have no issues with her chewing a grown ups butt out, matter of fact I look forward to when she does most of the time, however kids are different and you have to explain why to them so they understand so that they dont wind up growing up like some of the crack pots that come here, not speaking of any current posters fyi just in general |

Why is everyone down on Sue? I see nothing wrong with her reply to the OP.
I don't understand why we have to "walk on eggshells" around certain members but can rip the next one apart. Sue treats all members the same with her replies by what she says and how she says it.

Dear subgone,
For starters, I do not need coddling or whatever you said. I may be only a teenager but I am not a kid. And second of all I can post advice if I want to and there is nothing you can do about that. You can not control what I post or how I post it. And third of all why are you acting like you know everything? You do not. You may be older than me but you can be wrong sometimes. I am not trying to be disrespectful to you or anything but do not say that I do not know anything. For all I know I could know more than you and you wouldn't even know it. |

Walk on eggshells no, but try to educate those that are younger and dont know any better is something any parent here should understand. Im far from being parent of the year but I would be upset if someone spoke to my child that way because it is a child and does not know anymore than what the world around her/him has taught her/him weather it be correct or not, why it bothers some people to try and explain things better to a young adult is beyond me, they are the future and if us that know better than most of the world doesnt try to influence their way of thinking are we not doing any better than those that throw pets away? I take it as a personally to help mold young people away from the disposable attitudes and help them understand why things are the way they are and right from wrong and a simple does of reality when needed.
Granted this kid was only being a kid when she said hide the dog, thats the way kids are, they are not adults and should not be expected to automaticly think in adult ways.
Im not down on sue, if we had issues we would take if off the forum as we have each others email, its just difference of opinions on younger people need to be treated a little differently than adults so they dont become those jack asses for adults that come on here. I think highly of sue fyi and shes been a harsh sometimes but great influence on my, however Im an adult and can understand and take it. |

i have to agree with some of theses posts.yes we do need to take the time to educate our younger posters(kids/ less experienced people-myself included) and people that may be new to this type of forum.i think it is commendable that people come on here and try to share their knowledge(1st hand,book or whatever) .i will be the first to admit that i don't know everything ( i never said i did) and am willing to learn from others on here.but i also think that if your feelings get easily hurt,or maybe too sensitive for criticism step back and take a look at what you post before you hit send,read what you put down and think how you would feel if somebody said that to you.yes we should educate our younger posters but at the same time the younger posters should step back and see what they are posting and think about what they posting.alot of the people on here have alot more knowledge than others(myself part of the latter-lesser knowledge) and instead of jumping on an adult because they tell you something make sure you can back up what you say ,it will make you feel better and prove something to the adult.i'll proably get bashed for this but it's just my opinion.everyone have a good day.every day you wake up on the green side of the grass is good. |
