I never so loved RPCA before today. I peeked over in RPCh+b. Oh my...

Maybe I shouldn't have because I enjoy posters here. I was ignorant of the
mayhem there.

Sheesh...

glad she's here and not there

I just wish they wouldn't keep cross-posting.

Agreed. That's why I ventured over there after the latest crosspost.

It's going to create issues, I haven't ever not once plonked a regular
poster in RPCA, but if it continues I believe I will.

I have never been over there but I replied (to there, not to here) to this
blather about Dan not being honest (he's as honest as the day is long).  I
suggested (paraphrased) they stop crossposting garbage just because they
can't get their own sh.t together and communicate sufficiently to rescue a
cat and leave rpca out of it.

My jaw dropped when I read one post by "traceyrose".  She put an ad in
PetFinders and used Dan's personal contact information (his cell phone
number, I think, since he gave it to one of the "rescuers" when he was
trying to help out) - *without Dan's permission*!!!!!!!!!!!  Talk about no
good deed going unpunished!!!!  I thought it was bad when someone from
rpch+b left a nasty message on my cell phone, but at least they didn't
publish to the world!!!!!!!!

Oh, believe me, they don't need any.  I think everyone over there has
contracted a mass psychosis.  After I was accused of setting Bandit on fire
(and was again as of today) - among other *really* nasty things - I said I
was going to continue posting there just out of stubbornness so that the
crazies wouldn't think they had run me off with their vileness.  But even
that is becoming a moot point - they're getting scary with their taking
their craziness into real life!

God I love the way you folks post like you are posting to
a private group.

Grace--killfile me. I promise you it won't hurt a bit.

If you all want to keep the groups separate I suggest you follow
your own advice.

Did I miss a crosspost here?  Sorry if I did.  I don't think everyone does
it on purpose, they just miss it when replying to someone who has.

Mary, and anyone else I might have given offense to, I'm sorry, I was out of
line.  I just got weirded out when I saw what happened to me happening to
someone else on a worse scale.

I think I'm just going to lay low and concentrate on the new job for a
while.

It's not like we're a bunch of Satanists over there, though.  Most
people who post to both groups respect the "rules" over here when they
post here.  And those who don't wish to abide by the rules don't
generally post here at all.

There are a lot of really nice people on rpchb.  It's just a different
"flavor."  I've posted there for 6 years and I'm *generally* nice.  The
person who crossposted today does not understand those "rules."

Yeah, for one, you do not post private emails.  Exceedingly poor taste
regardless of the ng.

Nor have I ever done that in 6 years of usenet posting.

I wonder if those who ask that the groups remain separate might
refrain from dragging things that are happening in rphb into
rpca? I thought we had all agreed on that? I mistakenly
replied to a post that I did no tnotice was crossposted
over here, but am more careful now.

I for one *am* abiding by that.  I didn't cross post my answer to Charlie
Wilkes and this thread is not cross-posted.  I think Grace's post was merely
a reminder to all to try to keep it that way.

Catnipped is repeatedly admonished for bringing rphb issues here--then
Gracecat begins a new thread about what is going on in rchb here in rpca.
That, my friend, is called blatant hypocrisy.

I'm in the same boat as Candace.  I'm generally a "nice" poster.  I don't
use a lot of swears in my posts and try to help people out where I can.  I
prefer to post over on h+b because most of the time it's about people
looking for help on various cat problems and I feel like I have something to
offer.  I just ignore the food debates ;)
I tried to get into rpca, but the amount of posts is too much to keep up
with.  I like sharing cute stories about my cats, though, so maybe when I
have one I'll drop by.
It's really not that bad on h+b (most of the time) and there are some great
people.

Just to give one perspective, I originally explored h+b, as one of my
interests is veterinary medicine.  To put it mildly, some of the egos I
encountered were up to, or exceeding, those of the more egotistical
human surgeons.  

Human physicians, however, do have to have a basic level of knowledge,
and they can and are challenged by their peers without having a complete
snit. Apparently, some posters on h+b believe they have a definitive
knowledge of laboratory medicine without understanding any of the
underlying theory.

When someone challenges a medical or scientific position I take, I fall
back on scientific training and explain my reasoning, and, where
appropriate, give references. Unfortunately, on h+b, a molecular-level
explanation of why a poster may be incorrect, more often than not,
triggers a tantrum in response.

If I want tantrums, I'll go talk to neurosurgeons.

Yes,  great people post to rpchb.  I don't have any problems with your posts
here or there.
I've gained a lot of knowledge from people there. Unfortunately, it's now
difficult to find a useful thread that doesn't break down into personal
insults and back-stabbing. I'm sad to think that new people will not be able
to get the information they can use to benefit their cats because they will
not see any value in jumping into that fray.
The shame is that it's the cats who lose out the most.
I'm grateful to rpca.  It is my oasis when the world is in turmoil.  I
resent it when people spill their poison over here.

No, of course not Candace.  It's just a different group with a different
"tone".  There are people here (mea culpa) who have gone over there and post
differently in response to that tone.  Probably the best thing to do is
either ignore crossposts, or post recipes - that's always worked in the
past.

The thing that got to me was something happening to someone which happened
to me, except on a worse scale.  I really don't know what's going on with
Conan - and what I think really doesn't matter, but I hate to see someone
who only started out trying to help being hurt by what's going on, that's
all.

Hugs,

We have a heartbreaking problem over there, and I would like to
remind you that people here have requested that we keep the groups
separate. I honor that request. Will you? (If I crosspost it is only
because I failed to notice that rpca is in the groups line.)

Oh get a life!

When you left there your words were something to the effect of "Grace... who
knows something bad will be said about her now"

Well dear, no one said anything about you after you left (disappointing
isn't it)..  You're over hear bad mouthing those over there so pot...
kettle.. black...

And don't worry about asking me to keep it out of here, I'm gone... perhaps
you need to keep it over there.
