[pyrnet] Re: pyrnet-l-digest.20000808



The  opening page for this chat line states that it's intention is to help
people with accurate information about this wonderful breed. I for one would
like to apologize to Jodi for not getting the information she asked for on
this web site. I am a lurker on this site and have noticed in the past that
there are only a select few who constantly post. Now I know why that is. You
are not in anyway willing to help with information unless it agrees with
your opinions. Perhaps if you would have answered Jodi's question she would
have continued to read your post and continued to learn about the breed.
Instead you insulted her and made her feel unwelcome on this site. What a
shame and how unprofessional. You educate by being informative and
compassionate with other people. Perhaps you regulars should rename this
site something more appropriate like The Callous Pyr Help Line. I fully
understand the spay- neuter issue but you can't educate people by running
them off the network that should be educating them.
