Hello my friends
I am sorry to be a whingey but something has upset me very much this afternoon and I know many people on here have bunnies,
I am a member of the UK Pygmy hogs site as I hope to have a hoggy in August. However another member was selling a bottle feeder with a bunny on it – the rest I have printed out. To say I am furious is an understatement. Calming vibes needed please.

Could it have something to do with the bunny on it?!!
Jo

Are you deliberately trying to upset me, first attacking me over an innocent remark and then a follow up?!!! I adore bunnies and guinea pigs and if you can't say anything nice, don't bother and save other peoples' feelings. Evil, the only evil animal is the human!!!
Jo
Wheekers are excluded from the last remark)

Have you reported that remark to whoever runs the other site? It is clearly beyond what is considered acceptable on any forums/interactive websites.

I second what Erin said, some people are Jerks and need to treat people like that in order to feel better about their lives. I've seen it millions of times on forums of all kinds. My best advice, ignore him/her. I do that to one person on another guinea pig forum, drives that person NUTS. Usually after a while they will stop because you wont fight with them. It takes hard work but you know you have us supporting you.
Edit:
I have to say this though, while I think bunnies are cute to look at I personally think they are evil as well. But I have NEVER had good luck with them. But I do think that they are cute. Its just my opinion on them.

I agree with the others, and I agree with your comment to not say anything if they can't say something worthwhile. If they don't like bunnies, don't comment. Also, cuteness is a matter of opinion, so don't question another person's right to have a different opinion. I am terrified of snakes in any form, even squashed on the road. I avoid anything to do with them. I don't go around attacking people who like them!!!
I also think there are animals lovers who accept animals for what they are and appreciate them, and those people just plain like animals. They may have favorites, or some they fear and avoid, but in general, they just like animals. Anyone who has an animal and can't see that a different animal would appeal to other people, shouldn't have animals at all.
Lots of hugs, Jo!!! That person needs a pesonality transplant!!!

Have you reported that remark to whoever runs the other site? It is clearly beyond what is considered acceptable on any forums/interactive websites. The awful thing Yodelpig love, she is a moderator!! I have written to one of the others politely stating my concerns but she will probably ignore me, she has so far, Clique springs to mind!! I want to thank you my dear friends for your support and comfort, I really am so very grateful. She replied after the text I showed you telling me to"stop over reacting and bugger off her sales thread." What is really alarming is that about four other members agreed with her. I have the utmost respect for anyone who fears a particular animal. I love snakes, I respect people who do not them like you three piggies, I love bugs, I am really unusual there and can understand why other people are afraid of them. All your hugs and kind words have made me feel better, I really need them. I really liked the site and even though the replies weren't from any of the regular posters, it has jaded it for me. When you say bunnies are evil but cute looking Erin dear, are you referring to the way they treat each other? That is fair comment, at least you can see ther cuteness as well. Lots of love to you all. Jo xx |

My impression on that line is that it was typed with a mild twist of irreverence and you overreacted to a degree that has turned this into a far bigger deal than it should have ever been. Whether or not rabbits (or hamsters) are evil is beside the point, she was actually attempting to diffuse the situation (ie your initial reaction) with a humorous statement - you should try not to take these things on the internet so personally. The intended meaning can easily get misinterpreted when typed cf. spoken. |

Jo I take it you don't work in Customer service? I had to read your initial post like five times to find the aggression in his post. I think maybe you should listen to the moderator and reconsider seeing it's 4 people agreeing with her. By the way I think what the problem here is you've confused aggression with 'has an opinion'. Oh noes heres another one! Brace yourself. I feel you take offense too quickly.
ps: Fun fact, his name is alone backwards. Maybe if you gave him some huggles he'll be nicer!

Thank you for your input Crouchyy and Teebers. I still say if you can't say anything nice don't bother. And yes, I do take offense quickly but only when it comes to animals.
I want to thank again very much those of you who understood and replied in kind.
Hugs
Jo xx
