foxy lady, did you go and get yourself in trouble over there? I'm just glad to know we have another good community member on board here to watch out for the lost pets.

I seriously doubt that any of that group is ever embarrassed by their treatment of others, or it wouldn't be such an ongoing, unending behavior. They have such an undeserved, elevated opinion of themselves that they actually feel pride in stomping down members of the community. They feel justified in their superiority and cruelty. Pathetic lot.

You don't need to live under the fear installed at pc.
WELCOME to a DIFFERENT MIND-SET (FREEDOM) & ENJOY Yourself!!!!

Perfectly said , well maybe not perfectly but I could not agree more.

That gave me a much-needed laugh. Thanks jmc.

Hmmmm, it appears that PC may be correct...







They may be uniting the community, although not in quite the way they pictured it

I can assure you that they don't believe that they have done anything wrong and I have it on pretty good authority that they believe "the fox" is being less than truthful.
It really is a disturbing mindset.

This post by Wily Fox is stated so perfectly that I think we should sticky it at the top of each forum

Here are a couple of things to dwell on, or not

1. Humans will respond as they are treated. If they are treated as adults and shown that they are trusted as such; they usually will respond as such. But, when a human is treated as a child, unable to think for themselves, then they revolt. This is very apparent in the work place as has been shown through many studies. Most of my career was based upon this basic philosophy. Give people responsibility and trust that they will do the right thing.

2. Perception is Reality. When found in a place of spending a lot of time defending actions that are seen in a negative way by others, I feel that it is simply a case of not seeing things through others eyes. In the case of P*****m moderation, it seems to be more focused on what the mods get out of it, than the posters. A good moderator needs to park their ego at the door and think of the big picture of what they are doing before jumping on a single member for doing something that is not hurting anything.

3. Rules can be good, but guidelines are better. This leaves room to breathe and feel that you are able to think for yourself. Case in point, telling a poster that they can’t place a for sale item in the site’s classifieds simply because it pertains to pets, is a little overreaching. Why not let posters post their classified where they want? By moving it, you are telling the poster, you are in control and they are unable to think for themselves. This circles back around to items 1 and 2.

These things are the foundation of the tension of the moderation at P*****m. This can be a teaching moment or it can be ignored. I am taking my time out to try to help even in the light of this latest incident.

Angela.....The highlighted quotes were the very tenants in which this site was created to uphold.
You are a perfect fit here. I can't wait to get to know you better.

Yes. I think we should start a group that gets together every year on towel day for some jynnan tonnyx. We would have to bring our towels, of course. :tea2:
Glad you're here Angela.
