Any criticism is seen as a personal attack, rather than just a decent piece of advice. And then it quickly descends into often unsubstanitated allegations of bullying, improper tone etc.

And I agree, the other thread was started to highlight what the OP felt was a double-standard. Some view it as starting trouble; others as highlighting the rotten core that is often brushed under the carpet.

No doubt this thread will soon be closed too.
I don't think that it attracts trouble I think its more of a case of many of the members of petforums are very passionate about what they do.. whether it be breeding or helping in rescue.. many peoples ideas differ and because members are so passionate often threads can get debating with each others views.. And when In a heated mood because you are very passionate I do believe some people on the internet do say things in a slightly different manner.. Or is it because we can't see each others body language.. Either way if it does get heated and over step the mark of giving advice then obviously this is when a thread will get moderated..

I also do believe the thread in question was made to stir amongst the cat people.. causing more bad feeling.. And I truly hope we can rise above this posters attempts and carry on..

Re the advertising of pets etc to homes free or for sale maybe its something people need to have a discussion on and then make a suggest to the forum owner..

As I understand it the people who are passionate about the subject don't see it as pointless and if they did they wouldn't be bothering to post on these threads.. But maybe some do need to have a little think before they go posting replies and I think that can be said for all of us.. I guess we all have our moments..

Since most people post on the breeding section because they don't know what to do, it is really insulting to think of them as ignorant? And surely, breeding is one of the areas where things can be done in the wrong way, possibly endangering the queen as well as the kittens. So, how can pointing this out not be acceptable.
Quite a few debates on here get quite personal and result in quite nasty mud slinging and maybe if some sat back and had a look after the heat of the moment they may realise this.. heavily edited posts maybe removed so other posters do not feel they have to jump on the band wagon.. Therefore causing more heavy moderation..

I think lots of people breed think you just let the pet get on with it.. as pets were once in the wild.. therefore they do not realise what can go wrong.. And ranting at these types I see only going one way.. Making these members very stubborn to the situation rather than learning something from it..

That's what I thought - getting banned after 18 posts has to be some sort of record! My guess is it was a former banned member coming back to try to pick up old fights - hence the seeking out of a thread over a year old.
