In Reply to: Freight, this one is for you.......... posted by niki on December 02, 2001 at 18:04:03:

Um... Niki, Freight was not refering to you. He was referring to BD since he (or she?) called the people on this forum 'stuck up'. I believe he was saying you asked a pointed question and Kathy (I think) was being nitpicky about the answer you received.

No one thinks your question was stupid, especially Freight and I (can you tell yet we know each other?). We're both dedicated to the care of these little guys and want to help in anyway possible. We both know, first hand, that pet stores can give wrong information and we both think this is awful.

So, once again Freight was not at all referring to you so you do not have to be so defensive. And by the way, Freight has a lot of knowledge about Sulcatas and is more than willing to share that knowledge that he has gained over time. You can ask any and all questions here and you will receive advice from all levels of expertise.

If you are still offended and want to take this offline, please feel free to e-mail me or Freight at indreams@mediaone.net.

Peace,
~Christine

: Excuse me mister expert. if you read one of my posts i explained why i wanted to know the differences between these two different torts. i wanted to make sure that the Pet Store had given me a Sulcata because i was concerened that she was hibernating like the Greek torts. Thankfully someone knowledgable enough to answer my qustion did without making a beginer, like myself, feel foolish for asking a question.

: i dont believe that you were justified in saying that i was on my high horse. i was just trying to pass along the information that i had gotten in case you were one of the people who (like the article said) mixes up those kinds of torts.

: Just wanted to thank you again for making me feel like an idiot for asking a question. Could you do me a favor? Next time you see one of my posts asking a question just skip right over it because your kind of advice I DON"T NEED. girl on her high horse signing off........

: : How about this, a POINTED question was asked, and that question was answered with a POINTED answer. I was said to be wrong when in fact the person asking the question really did'nt seem to want to accept the fact that the answer was correct and that they were being nitpicky about something they were not fully informed about.

: : I was trying to be helpful and will continue to do so IF I have the knowledge to do so. There are sometimes people that get on their high horse unjustly on this forum, but that is not the case with those of us that are truely trying to be helpful. The answers that were given came from those of us that truely care, and are here for the good of the torts, so maybe next time the person asking the question should try a bit more restraint and ask for clarification without beginning a heated session over something very simple.

: : So. I say enough with this one, and lets move on to a more helpful and positive use of our time!!!

: : Freight

: : : : Whe you ask these people a hard question it seems that no one knows what they are talking about. But when you ask a simple question they give you a screwed up answer that doesn't even help.
