Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005A different point of view
There is an old expression that there are two sides to every story. A couple weeks ago, I drove about an hour and a half to interview a cat. The interview (and my dinner conversation with Liz and Louie) were not as ideal as I'd wished. I've since emailed Liz a couple of times, but not heard back. I used postal mail to write two identical letters (Liz and Louie) to ask where they wanted to go with this matter. I've not heard back from either of them. Just for curiosity, I signed onto the RPCA message board, and see if Liz has been posting. Yes, and only slightly to my surprise she's mentioned me several times. What did come as a surprise is that much of what she's written has been remarkably different than what I remember of the cat interview, and of my friendship with her and Louie. Seeing as how she's written extensively and publically, I'm going to take a couple moments (over a period of a couple days) and share with the group what I remember of the matters.

It really doesn't matter. It is your posts that made it clear that a cat is not the pet for you. Some people aren't cat people. That's really all that matters. There are other pets that fit what you want in a pet. > There is an old expression that there are two sides to every story. > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > couple moments (over a period of a couple days) and share with the group > what I remember of the matters. Norman! I wondered what had happened to you. It's been an interesting couple weeks. I'm glad to be back, working toward understanding. SignatureChristopher A.

Thats fine, and I'll be happy to read it. All I ask of you (and Liz and Louie if he posts here) is not to use RPCA as your personal debating arena. RPCA is big enough to hold different viewpoints, and indeed, maintain friendships wtih people who have different opinions on things. Please let it stay that way. Yowie >> There is an old expression that there are two sides to every story. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Yowie Thank you, Yowie! This isn't the place to be debating against each other. I'm happy to see all of them post. What they did or did not discuss over dinner really doesn't involve us (nor should it). Jill I'm OK with that. My goal at present is twofold: 1) present the other side of the story 2) Work out the misunderstandings I've offered to phone, mail, email, etc. So if they are agreeable, we should go to private email promptly.

Yowie It has been noted; and earlier, I did post something to the effect of how much of a jackass I've been. A separate message of greater detail has been sent to Chris, and again an apology to him and everyone else. i didn't do right.

How is His Feistiness > and is he still organizing predatory raids in the Pacific > by recruiting wannabe cutthroats to his cause? Not only that, but I'm thinking of writing my own blog. Sonya has some potential cabin kits with her. Eric and Traveler seem the most promising, but I might get SSG Huey to tak Qui Gun Kit and Pez into military training. They're both feisty and have potential as cannon fodder. Spike is a kit after my own heart. I'm thinking of making him my purrsonal assistant. Of course, the Fat Wench says that they'll be gone by our launch date, but what does she know. Cap'n Pine Cone esq. who needs to make the annual call for crew members > Oh, I love Cap'n PineCone esq. How is His Feistiness > and is he still organizing predatory raids in the Pacific > by recruiting wannabe cutthroats to his cause? Since you brought it up, I would like to offer one fine, strong, young whippersnapper full o' vim and vigor who would make a right worthy deck hand. With the proper training by the Capt. I am sure the tenancity displayed in this fine young cat could be directed into more positive channels. (Translation: He is the hard-headed-est creature walking this earth) Besides, if the Capt. doesn't voluntarily take him, his four house-mates will likely tie, gag him and throw him in cargo) Tell the Captain that Grandmother says it isn't necessary for the mothership to send a clone. Really. Sherry > Since you brought it up, I would like to offer one fine, strong, young > whippersnapper full o' vim and vigor who would make a right worthy deck [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Sherry I put out the call for recruits on the Mouser Tails blog spot. Tell him to sign up and get his furry little bottom over to Roanoke Island for Spring Cleaning. I'm still cursing my head after that docking party back in December. I'm sorry, but the Mothership requires a working clone to be substituted for any cat on a mission. Sailing on the mouser is included in that description. So, Granny, you're going to have to deal with the clone. However, I might be able to work a miracle and improve the grandkitten's behavior a little.

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. > What gives you the right to criticise a long term poster when you've > only been here a few days? I wondered where he came from. Brad, the address for the FAQ is http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm Notice that YOWIE is a part of the name. I seriously think that Yowie captures the essence of being a member of this group and, if anyone has the right to question the motives of posters, Yowie does. I know for a fact that she was here when I joined in 1998. I think the only poster who's been in here longer is Dave Stevenson, and He'd probably agree with her that being rude and catty to each other violates the SPIRIT of our group. Pam S. who thinks that Brad REALLY needs either to read the FAQ or take up cooking >What gives you the right to criticise a long term poster when you've >only been here a few days? Sorry I can't address all of you a.s kissers individually but you know who you are and I speak to all of you......the above quote was maybe the most stupid so thats why I chose it......no one has a right to moderate this group.....a long term poster or someone who just got here.......problem with you guys is that after awhile you think you own and speak for the entire group......no one has told me why Yowie has the right to try and censor the group.....I made my point you are all idiots who are led around by the nose by each other...lol.....its so cute......I am done with this thread there is a group like you guys in every newsgroup and you are always the same.......low IQ's and a.s kissers.......nice chattin with ya though.....

Censoring is forcibly removing what a person doesn't want to see (And doesn't want others to see either). That's a hell of a lot different than politely asking people to please keep private disagreements private. --Enfilade > I thought this was an unmoderated group......what gives you the right > to speak for the group which is exactly what you are doing.....if the Who the heck do you think you are to come here and tell us what we can or cannot do?

Here is the link to the FAQ. It is a good read in and of itself. http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm There was nothing wrong with what Yowie posted. This had nothing to do with friendships so much as keeping issues that should be private, private. However, the tone of your post indicates that you are not familiar with this group or with its posting conventions. I would suggest that you google the group for more than a couple of days posting to see the type of discourse here. There are rarely flame wars here because the flamers are generally ignored in favor of recipes. Your tone suggests that recipes might be in order, however since you seem to be a new poster, I won't post one yet. Diane
