  1. I've been noting the debates surrounding raw feeding with some interest and increasing disappointment. As you all know, I set up TDK to be an environment that provided its users with a haven away from the bickering and name-calling that are the hallmark of most messageboards. I have very clear guidelines about the standard of behaviour I expect - and your responsibility in upholding them - and I'm very sad that they're being abused so frequently.

    We're a community of many types of people, all of whom have the right to feel comfortable and who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or see what you see.

    I will not tolerate the personal attacks that seem to be becoming more and more frequent on TDK. If you disagree with someone, feel free to make your point, but without attacking other posters personally, or directing blame at them - their reasons for holding their views will almost certainly be just as valid as your own.

    I don't want to have to start adding other topics to the "do not discuss" list, but I won't hesitate to do so if necessary, nor will I hesitate to shut this site down altogether if people can't abide by the very simple standards of behaviour I ask you to abide by. They're there for everyone's benefit, and you all have a responsibility to ensure they're upheld.

    Thanks for listening.

  9. I can't understand what is to be gained by personal attacks. Calling someone a name is not going to change his or her mind. The fact that we're here on this site means we're joined in cause larger than ourselves, the love for cats. It seems that community of interest should carry with it - if not explicity, then implicitly - a level of mutual respect.

    TDK is one of the few truly joyful sites for sharing. I would hate to see the KM have to shut it down. It has always brought me happiness.

  13. To tell the truth I DO see threads on here that get on my nerves. I think we can all attest to that. But what's to be gained by attacking the poster? I think I've been here long enough that most people know that I will say my peace and move on. But some of the stuff I've seen here lately has made me stay away more. I don't love any of you less than I ever have, nor will I.

    If I may, though - I'd like to also make a suggestion - if you are going to post stories you get from the newspaper, please cut and paste and leave the comments out. I see enough ignorance day to day that I don't want to come to the fluffiest place I know and see stuff that makes me question why somebody would leave it out there for all of us to see. I don't think that's asking to much, but if it is, please feel free to let me know.

  14. I would also like to add that this site is not just a community for lovers of cats. Lovers for people (all over the world),lovers of learning,lovers of the enviroment,lovers of Peace & even lovers of what's right from wrong. Some of us just forget to recheck the rules once in a while.
    KM...so sorry some of us slip from time to time. Your post read & also noted.

  22. Thank you KM both for the admonishment and for this wonderful site. My sincere apologies to each and every one on TDK for having been guilty of opening my big mouth when I should have kept it shut. My apologies and I shall work to keep vigilant over my words.
