I maintain respect for all who contribute to this forum and take all of their posts seriously, regardless of their differences in opinion with me and/or each other. There is no person who contributes to these discussions with whom I have any personal grieviances, and it pains me to see other's aired in such an often malicious and unproductive way.

We who are newbies on this forum, like myself, are puzzled by this and would love to see the dischordance taken off the forum and addressed privately. Otherwise, to those who are new, it looks like a vindictive rugby match where one person gets jumped all over with alacrity by others, and those of us on the sidelines,watch confusedly. There have been posts I wanted to make in the past week or two about funny stories, pictures of Angel and Chanel, and advice that I hoped to put up but reluctantly declined, because it seemed inappropriate amongst all of the animosity that was present on the forum. We have Easter coming up and Passover that has just finished, so let's try to get the forum back into the holiday spirit it had during the Winter holidays like Christmas and New Year's where we wished eachother and our tortoises the best. Maybe I'm guilty of being a pollyanna, but that was a "feelgood" forum.

Best Wishes,
Esther, Chanel, and Angel

: Look, I have been visting this forum on a regular basis for about a year now. Normaly, I enjoy it because although my torts are healthy and I rarely have problems to ask advise about I like to see what other things are going on with peoples torts. I think it better prepares me for what may come up with my torts. However, there is obviously some petty PRIVATE arguement going on lately. No offence to anyone involved, because I really do not know any of you, but the rest of the people who would like to use this forum for its purpose, FINDING USEFUL INFORMATION, really do not care! Either get past it and move on, or take it off the forum.....PLEASE!!!!!!!
