I was just perusing the recent posts and opened one about a puppy. So cute! But as I read the comments from others, I found myself shocked by the negativity. It reminded me of a post a few days ago, in which a member said she would never post again because of the way she was chastised. I'm not siding with anyone about whether it's okay to offer a puppy for sale or not on the quilting board-I don't really have an opinion. But-wouldn't it be better to pm someone rather than to hang your negative comments out and embarrass them publicly?
Just thinking it would be a little kinder. . .

I read the post/comments ............and completely agree.

Great point.

I agree that it's best to keep comments positive.

That makes the forum a nicer place to spend time.

And you know we ALL like hanging around here... :)

Yes, I agree.

I agree totally! Let's be nice and send Pm's to other's if there is a problem. I've been in this same situation and it is very hurtful to see others talking about you in such a manner it's just unbelievable.

That topic has been deleted.

This is good, I hope she knows we love her and feel bad for her.

The old saying still applies "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." This is not the place to beat people up.

I agree.
