FYI - as BG my oppions are mine and not those of MSE as my signature clearly states - that means I have the same rights as other users to free speech and an individual oppion and you have the same rights to report any post I make or any action I take as you do with any other poster on the forums.

Not quite. You are able to close any thread if you don't like the content, or it personally offends you etc, a luxury we ordinary posters don't have.

It would seem to me that perfectly honest, reputable breeders are being discriminated against on this board by people who don't believe in breeding. This is not what the ethos of these boards is all about.

I was discussing a product, not opening a discussion on breeding or my right to breed.

She closed the thread because it was the best thing she could offer when you asked for it to be deleted...

... which bit of that do you take issue with exactly?

ETA - I know MrsTine personally has no problems with responsible breeders, so these allegations make little sense. (If you accused me of being anti-breeding, however, that would be fair!)

I tried to change the word 'question' to 'comment' in the title and it unfortunately created another thread. It was not my intention to have two threads running.

And you can all look at it the way you like. I have had plenty of PM's from people giving me the advice I was originally looking for about the MateTel.

I am not causing trouble...that occurred when I was told in no uncertain terms by other posters that I should not be breeding in the current economic climate, and to stop rescue centers being filled with unwanted dogs.

Good God OP, does it get uncomfortable with that knot in your knickers?

Yes, yes neither helpful, PC or MSE but honestly....

Edit to add: I've also read your other threads and found nothing whatsoever in them to suggest abuse of any kind by anyone except yourself.

I read your post first, before I realised what you're like, OP, and saw the relatively new joining date & the low post count, plus realised I didn't recognise your name & knowing how threads regarding Breeding can turn out & thinking i'd give some friendly advice to warn you that here may not be the best place to post, you're more likely to end up in a debate on rescue v's breeding, decided to let you know a breeders forum may provide more help but that your post is fine here too. Yes, I said I hope you don't breed, we're all entitled to our opinions, but the aim of the post was NOT to yell at you for breeding but to try to get you more help from somewhere that may be better :rolleyes:

I believe I also explained that I may not have worded my post too well. You could look at it as asking for opinions on the product to save wasting the money, but also you could say it's medical so not allowed, that however is not for me or anyone but the BG's/Admins to decide. I personally don't care if people ask for advice on anything, but I do sometimes get sick of the abuse people can get & thought you might be quite new here & i'd try to warn you.

Never mind I know better now don't I!

Sorry steph,I didnt mean in your first thread.I meant by not just contacting abuse to investigate why you feel agieved,you start a thread about it.To me that is just to stir something up.
I fail to see why if you didn t want trouble you would start a thread.
As stated this and the other thread are reported,surely thats the matter closed.

:rolleyes: yawn

hmm... accusing people of having some sort of secret way of editing their posts without it showing they had done so, just to make you look bad...

accusing MrsT of 'abuse of her position' whe she was doing her best for you, in light of your request that the thread be deleted?

inferring she was being rude by wishing you 'good evening'

..but, of course, you were not troublemaking?

I think an apology is in order actually.

Steph998

Yawn? I don't know how you get time to, in between your frantic posting.

If I bore you that much, why keep commenting.

'Doth protest too much' springs to mind. I take it I am not the first breeder to be told I am not wanted on the board.

Apology will be forthcoming if it is required after the complaint is addressed. And, I was not just going to conveniently shut up and go away, which is why I posted my question/comment. You saw who the OP was....you could have just ignored it.

UKTigerlily

I haven't yet seen anyone tell you 'you're not wanted on the board' in fact, my post says, if you read it, that your post is fine here. So please stop making things up to suit you & make yourself look hard done by.

foreign_correspondent

I am not protesting anything, I tried to answer your question, but I did find your unfounded allegations unpleasant and unfair.

Perhaps you only want answers that agree with your viewpoint
